Mostly a few songs I'm most familiar with: After Dark - Asian Kung-Fu Generation (for the cymbal sparkle) Sore dewa, Mata Ashita - Asian Kung-Fu Generation (a bit of everything) Beethoven: Violin Sonata No. 9 (Kreutzer) Movement No. 1 - Shinohara Yuuna (for dat violin) Dvorak: Symphony No.9 ('From the New World') 4th movement (for dat orchestra) Mozart: Oboe Concerto in C major K.314/285d Movement 1 (for dat oboe) Moon on the Water - The Dying Breed ft. Koyuki (for dat vocal and guitar) Spice of Life - Beck (for dat bass) Brave Shine - Aimer (female vocal) Black Rock Shooter - Hatsune Miku (for dat vocaloid)

The only song I don't actually listen to outside of auditioning/testing heapdhones, but it's sooo good.
