It has always been my impression, that listening to the right music can vastly increase a reading experience.
The very best books for me are those I can totally lose myself in. Where their world becomes real when I read them. I can get into this state of mind much more easily when listening to music at the same time.
It usually takes a while for me to find the "right" music for a book, but when I do, I will, from that moment on, always think of the story whenever I hear the music.
Here is a list of music I think fits very well to particular manga stories:
Manga Title | Manga Artist | Music Artist | Music Title |
---|---|---|---|
Appleseed | Masamune Shirow | Ryuichi Sakamoto | The Last Emperor |
Battle Angel Alita (Gunnm) | Yukito Kishiro | Metallica | S&M |
Dragon Ball | Akira Toriyama | Chris de Burgh | Crusader |
Magic Knight Rayearth | Clamp | The Cranberries | Bury The Hatchet |
Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind | Hayao Miyazaki | 10 000 Maniacs | Blind Man's Zoo |
Outlanders | Johji Manabe | Tracy Chapman | Crossroads |
3x3 Eyes | Yuzo Takada | Soundtrack | 3x3 Eyes |
Video Girl Ai | Masakazu Katsura | Mietta | Volano Le Pagine |
Wish | Clamp | The Cranberries | To The Faithful Departed |
