Anyone who loves Japanese anime soundtrack music knows Yoko Kanno. She’s one of the best in the business, and I’ve long been a fan of her compositions for various productions.

Here is a YouTube sample list of 3 of her best pieces (some videos are AMV or fan-made music videos using footage from the anime).

Anime = Macross :: Title = Voices

Anime = Cowboy Bebop :: Title = The Real Folk Blues

Anime = Escaflowne (Movie) :: Title = Sora
