Forums - Music Discussion - Need Suggestions for VGM Study Playlist

Hi all,

I was hoping to create a good study-music playlist (or ~4 hour long video to put on YouTube) of VGM (and anime music could be considered too; but preferably without lyrics ex: Girei from Naruto) and wanted to enlist the help of this userbase. Have any suggestions for good video-game/anime music that you want to contribute? Fire away!

A few loose guidelines:

If you see a song you like that has already been posted, you can endorse that selection by adding a little "+1 to'Darude Sandstorm'" in your post alongside your selection. I appreciate all the help I can get, but at the same time suggestions can dogpile very quickly and at that point it becomes hard to wade through; so try not to get too out of hand lol.

Furthermore, try to consider music that you could conceivably see yourselves succesfully study to (just an optional guideline to show you where my head is at). I did consider selecting songs from Platina's music recommendation thread, but that list is huge lol. I'd much rather set some relatively-loose guidelines and ask the community for their help.

I'll try to compile an agreeable list and then order them well and make a nice video and/or playlist before finals start next month. If someone else on the site can benefit from a premade study music album/playlist, then all the better!

If you are struggling to come up with a suggestion but want to contribute, I'd say that main menu and overworld themes make the best choices; but honestly there are no bad suggestions. Some good examples of study music for me that will probably make the list would be Oxenfurt from The Witcher 3 or Home in Florence from AC2

If you choose to help out, thank you in advance! If not thank you for reading, perhaps you may get something out of this anyhow.

Cheers!

Unsure what the song is called, I think it is referred to as Savannah Symphony on the official soundtrack, but basically it's the Stickerbrush Symphony remix from DKC: Tropical Freeze.

It's the one song that I can pretty much always listen to when studying, no joke.



bet: lost

Individual songs or complete OSTs?

Also depends on if you would like calm music or lively ones too.. ?

Most of mine are from Nintendo consoles as a heads up :p

Individual songs would be best for playlist compilation.

I prefer calm-ish ones but throwing in a few lively songs to change up the pace won't hurt, so fire at will! And it doesn't matter the source

I have different tastes when I study so you may or may not like it.

Studio Ghibli OSTs, preferably Joe Hisaishi's 29 Song Golden Collection. He composes music from all of Hayao Miyazaki's films. They're very pleasing and original. My favorite would have to be Porco Rosso's theme and Princess Mononoke's theme.

As for video games, I love me a good classical soundtrack for studying. And you can't go wrong with Dragon Quest VII's "Memories of a Lost World".

Classical music, and music in general, is very mathematic in nature. It helps your brain process and digest information. I've been listening to classical VGM and classical Anime music since highschool and I made straight A's from Freshmen to Senior. And I was going through the toughest time in my life during those last 3 years. It really soothes you and helps you get your mind off of other things that don't matter.

Some Links For You:

Anime Selection

Those are my suggestions, take em or leave em.
