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)

And then I take it for a listen of this:
The only song I don't actually listen to outside of auditioning/testing heapdhones, but it's sooo good.
