[[Favorites of 2025]] ![[My Music of the Year 2025-1766948215616.png]] Besides [[Games]], [[Music]] remains one of my biggest loves. My [Last.fm Profile](https://www.last.fm/user/eightbittunes) is proof enough of that, lol. But I never actually *write* about my music of the year, because I listen to so much of it. In fact I think I completely opted out of a list last year for this exact reason. This year is no exception — in fact, it’s probably the year with the most fantastic music I’ve ever gotten to listen to in that timespan. From singles to albums to collections to game soundtracks, it feels like the quality of music I’ve been blessed with has been directly proportional to how bad my year has actually been, lmao. So this year I’ve just made a simple list. In 2026 I’m gonna be a little better about that — and about writing about music in general, as one of my [[2026 Creative Resolutions]]. But I hope you check out some, or even all, of these bangers. I have immaculate taste, if I do say so myself[^1], so I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. --- - **Kpop Demon Hunters Original Soundtrack** - **New Horizon** - DJ Mitsu the Beats - **The Universe Smiles Upon You ii** - Khruangbin - **Oscillaria** - Natsukashii - **Give Us Shelter** - The Glitch Mob - **Once Upon a Katamari** - **Windblown** - Danger - **THE BPM** - Sudan Archives - **SPACE RANGER I: DISCOVERY** - Tsundere Alley - **Liminal** - Brian Eno & Beatie Wolfe - **Skate Story Soundtrack Vol. 1** - Blood Cultures - **Panty & Stocking Season 2 Soundtrack** - **JANE DOE** - Kenshi Yonezu & Hikaru Utada - **Unerthed: Hole Erth Unplugged** - Toro y Moi - **SQ Music Collections** - Square Enix Music - **semicolon** - yama - **Luv Sux Sessions** - Survive Said the Prophet - **The Rogue Prince of Persia** - ASADI - **Anyway** - Amanaguchi - **METAL FORTH** - BABYMETAL - **I Love My Computer** - Ninajirachi - **CHARON** - 1000 Eyes - **Jazz in Time** - SHIN-SKI - **Claire Obscur: Expedition 33 Original Soundtrack** - **TRON: Ares** - Nine Inch Nails - **THIS IS FOR** - TWICE - **BEAUTIFUL CHAOS** - KATSEYE - **Radiant Revival** - Jamie Paige & Hatsune Miku - **opoona original soundtrack** - BASICSCAPE - **SAND LAND** - Bandai Namaco - **Flow Tides** - TOMGGG - **Manual Drive 1991** - Dusqk - **For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women)** - Japanese Breakfast [^1]: and I do
