What is your favorite insert song?

[destiny4ever]

Watching Initial D has reminded me of how awesome insert songs can truly be. They can add that extra something to important scenes, they can help express the feelings of the characters or/and they can help to tell the story itself. With that in mind, I would like to ask you, what is/are your favorite insert song/s?

Here are two of my favorite insert songs from Initial D:

Night of Fire


Wings of Fire


And here is my favorite insert song from TLOTLH:

Energy

Meh, if we're talking about insert song I am instantly reminded of...





As those fans of Code Geass might have known, this song is played near the ending of the series and caused quite lots of fans to form their theories about the plot. Either way the lyric is beautiful and strong, the arrangement is nice and unique. I love it.

Yoko Kanno's insert song for "Darker than Black" still is one of my absolute favourites and one of the few I probably won't forget about. Made the fight between Hei and Wei even more awesome.

Tsubasa Chronicle may have a weak plot, but the soundtrack of the anime is just pure beauty. This song here easily becomes one of my most favorite ever. Keiko's voice is also so beautiful.

I can’t listen to that song without getting teary-eyed . Another wonderful insert song from Code Geass is:



Both songs awake powerful emotions within me.

Continued Story always gives me some kind of chill, as if...

...Lulu is still alive and he's trying to convey a message to us to keep on fighting for life.

How can I not love it?

I only listened to Stories lately, but I also like it. Too bad we never heard it on the series directly, I think(?).

The last episode of Code Geass had a very strong impact on me because of many reasons so that’s why I can’t listen to those songs without getting all teary-eyed.

Insert songs form practically the backbone of Macross Frontier, since it involves songstresses. Here's a medley of most of the songs, which I really love
Nyan Nyan Service Medley


And then there's Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann ...which really wouldn't be what it is without ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAAAA
(aka) Libera Me From Hell

Salad-chan!!! Welcome back to the OC! It is so good to see you, thank you for sharing those awesome songs with us.

Another anime that has amazing insert songs is Clannad (Clannad = Clannad + Clannad After Story). The insert songs in Clannad are so emotionally powerful, they are not only beautiful songs but they also help highlight important scenes incredibly well. Here is one of my favorite insert songs from Clannad:

That song is so beautiful!

Initial D – Fourth Stage

Act 4

[phio_chan]

My current favorite insert song is this one from Gundam Seed (although I never watched the series)...



I read that it's supposed to be sung by Tanaka Rie, composed by Kajiura-sensei. I suppose she made Wakana sang it instead afterwards? LOL~ Anyway it's good and sooo calming.

I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned it yet but Bleach has a lot of cool and great insert songs, below is one of my favorite ones:
