Three Tune Tuesday: Picks from my Anime List

(Edited)

For this week's Three Tune Tuesday — a tradition started by the one and only @Ablaze on Hive — I wanted to share a few songs that hold a special place in my heart. Each one is tied to a moment in my life, a cherished memory, or an obsession that just wouldn’t let go.

  1. I'll Be The One by Kazuhiro Hara, from Hikaru no Go
    This song takes me back to 2005, when a classmate in business school introduced me to the world of Go through the anime Hikaru no Go. It was my first real dive into the game, and it stuck with me ever since. The theme "I'll Be The One" captures that sense of discovery and passion I felt back then, and it remains a powerful reminder of that time.

  1. ブルーバード (Blue Bird) by Ikimono Gakari, from Naruto Shippuden
    Naruto quickly became a favorite for both me and my wife, Vera, when the manga started getting published in Finland. Vera, being the true collector, made sure we had every volume. Although we ended up selling them, those were fun times filled with great stories and even greater music. (An honorary mention goes to the Sadness and Sorrow by Toshio Masuda, a song from the same anime, which Vera particularly loved. Not to say I hated it, quite contrary.)

  1. Binks no Sake by Kohei Tanaka, from One Piece
    Lately, I've been deep into One Piece, and the story of Brook has somehow touched my heart in ways I didn’t expect. "Binks no Sake," with its old pirate's charm and soulful melody, feels like the perfect reflection of that story. It's a song that carries both the weight of loss and the joy of adventure — a fitting way to close this list.

There are so many great anime themes out there, and these are by no means the best of them — just a few that have resonated with me personally over the years. I hope they bring back some memories for you too!

Thank you for your thoughtful comment! 😊 Get Over is a fantastic choice too... it really captures that early 2000s anime vibe and brings back so many memories. I totally understand the emotional impact of Hikaru no Go, Sai’s story and is so heart-wrenching. 🥹

And yes, Ikimono Gakari is amazing! Blue Bird and Hanabi are both beautiful, and there’s something so unique about their melodies that just sticks with you. Anime OSTs truly do hit different; they have this way of capturing moments and emotions so perfectly.

I’m glad you enjoyed my picks! 🎵✨ Thanks for sharing your favorites too!

Good choice, especially the first one is one of those themes that never go away, that make us feel somewhat alone and sad, well at least that's what I feel. I wish you a happy night.

It’s a new day now, so good morning! ☀️ I completely agree about the first song — it does have that bittersweet quality that stays with you, evoking feelings of solitude and introspection. I think that’s why it’s such a memorable theme for many of us.

Thank you for your kind wishes! I hope you have a wonderful day ahead. 😊
