I'm finally bringing myself to answer these awesome threads, hahaha. Avoiding spoilers and stuff XD

It's been a while since I've listened to the GetBackers soundtracks, although I still remember all of the Japanese openings and endings.

For my favourite songs in the anime, it would definitely be Barairo no Sekai, the 2nd opening. It's just... upbeat, and positive! And it's within my pathetic vocal range and an awesome song to sing, hahaha.

"Even now the desperate world may be at its end, but it is not over yet.
You started to abandon hope. Surely the scenery we’d started to give up on will seem rose-coloured if we’re together."
<3333

And "Evil Eyes" by Ban.
I didn't know GetBackers had character songs until my friend let me listen to Kanna Nobutoshi's song. And that's when we heard him sing EVIL RICE and can never hear it as anything else EVER AGAIN. Give it a listen! Other than the rice, this song is fantastic and really IS everything Ban is. The attitude, especially. Ahhh, he sings brilliantly~ I gotta find this in the karaoke song list! Evil Rice, Evil Rice, Just a minute~

AND "Born Again" by Ginji.
Watching GetBackers, I became a HUGE fan of Morikubo Showtaro. Watching Prince of Tennis helped too. After following more shows he voiced in, you can tell he usually does punks, or misunderstood kids with attitude problems or something. Like Kadaj from Final Fantasy. So I found "Born Again" after I listened to his other Rock-ish Character songs (You can tell he LOVES rock, and english words in his lyrics), and GASP! This, this has got to be the only song where he's so sappy and carefree! There is no other song that I know of where he sounds like this. (If you DO know, let me know!) This song blew my mind. I didn't know Morikubo had it in him! This song is a favourite because it's so drastically different from all his other songs. THUMBS UP!

AND "TWINS" by Ban and Ginji.
JUST CAUSE THEY ARE SINGING TOGETHER. Even if I'm extremely disappointed in the instrumentation and the mood. Kanna Nobutoshi and Morikubo Showtaro obviously belongs in the Rock music catagory, so why don't they have a rock song together?! But they still sound asdfghjkl AWESOME, so it's okay.

For the soundtracks, there were some fantastic tracks, and some forgettable ones, but one of my favourites would be the mostly piano track, "Reminiscence". It's just, really beautiful, and calming.

"Bloom" is also really really great. The tempo increase, and that string instrument (the koto?). "MakubeX" is really haunting and sad, it makes you feel like the world is empty and void ;____;

Being a fan of jazz and most of its variations, "GetBackers", "Gymnopedie?" and "Honky Tonk Wan" are just perfect!

Strangely enough, I feel that the other tracks, mostly the fighting music, don't have much of an impact by themselves. Without the anime to really bring out the feelings and emotions, to me they aren't that powerful and gripping, but that's just my personal opinion :P




....... EVIL RICE!
