Apple Music Replay of 2024

My Apple Music Replay for 2024 just dropped, and it's always such a fun, sometimes surprising, look back at the soundtrack of my year! For me, this isn't just a list of songs; it’s almost like a personal 'listening order' or a curated 'watch list' of my favorite musical journeys and discoveries. If you're someone who loves exploring new sounds or even looking for a 'guide' through popular J-Pop and Anime Soundtracks, my replay might just give you some fantastic ideas. This year, my listening habits were clearly dominated by J-Pop and Anime Soundtracks, with Rock and Pop filling out the rest. It makes sense, as I often find myself diving deep into the incredible musical worlds that accompany my favorite anime series. My top artists really highlight this: voyager, Takanori Nishikawa, Aimer, See-Saw, and SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]. Each of these artists brings something unique to the table, and they've definitely been on heavy rotation. Takanori Nishikawa, in particular, seems to be a constant presence, as seen with hits like 'Freedom (with...' and 'FREEDOM' making my top songs list, alongside voyager & オオタユカ's 'ULTRA PRIDE'. It’s fascinating to see how certain tracks become anthems for the year. The albums I couldn't get enough of include 'ULTRA PRIDE' by オオタ ユカ & voyager and 'Freedom (with...' by Takanori Nishikawa, cementing their hold on my ears. Even a classic like Disney's 'A Whole New Sound' made an appearance, showing a bit of variety! My playlists also tell a story; the 'Build Playlist' and 'Gundam Build Playlist' clearly indicate where a lot of my listening focus was. These aren't just random collections; they're carefully crafted lists that I revisit, much like someone might follow an 'Index watch order' for an anime series, but for music. The 'Deadpool Official Playlist' was a fun outlier, proving that sometimes you just need a bit of chaos in your listening! Reaching milestones like 7,500 minutes listened, 250 artists played, and 500 songs enjoyed truly shows the depth of my musical exploration. It’s not just about passively listening; it’s about actively engaging with the art. For anyone wondering about the best way to get into anime music or J-Pop, or perhaps even seeking out a 'monogatari watch list' of tunes, this replay offers a genuine, user-generated glimpse into what's currently captivating listeners. Think of it as a personal 'top replay' recommendation list from someone who spends a lot of time in these genres. I hope sharing my journey provides some inspiration for your own musical discoveries!
