Favorite Character Songs

[J Dude]

Well there's already a thread for funniest character songs, but how about a thread for character songs that you just like listening to because you enjoy them, whether they're funny or just enjoyable to listen to? Personally, I've been jamming this one for the past several days.

It's from Digimon Frontier and is Takuya's character song, which is of course sung by Junko Takeuchi, who has became one of my favorite female seiyuu.

Not sure if this is a character song or not, but it's certainly another one I really like. It's from Devil Hunter Yohko, which I have yet to see, but I certainly enjoy the song, and it's sung by Aya Hisakawa, another one of my favorites. :)

I've really started disliking character songs recently, I've been deleting them right and left. Most of the seiyuu can't sing for beans in their character voices. It didn't really bother me before I started learning Japanese, but the more exposed I became to the language, the more the character songs began to bug me. The only ones that I can really tolerate at this point are Iwao Junko's Tomoyo songs from Card Captor Sakura and even those I've really fallen out of love with.

EDIT: Although come to think of it, I guess some of the Touch music I've got could be considered character music, and it isn't so bad.

I could be mistaken, but I thought "character song" meant a vocal song that was sang by a seiyuu (voice actress) as if they were the character they play in an anime. For example, if the seiyuu plays Taiga in Toradora, and she sings a song as if she was Taiga, then that's a character song. Not that there's anything wrong with character themes, I'm just trying to explain what I think the topic creator was looking for.

[Sora N]

^Yes "character song" means a vocal song sang by the character voice actor/actress...character songs “usually” tells a story or information about the character and/or the anime series…

I'd have to say Death Note themes

My mistake.-_-;
There's only one song that I like then. Akane's baka song from Ranma 1/2. :D Perhaps I should try to listen to a few others.

It's not female, but:
On the Street Where You Live, sung by Freddy Eynsford-Hill in the musical My Fair Lady, which is Lerner and Lowe's adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion.

Music can be the delicious food for our spiritual life. In a sense, music to life is just like salt to food. Salt can make our food delicious and music can make our lives rich and colorful. But it’s all known that different people prefer different tastes: salty, spicy, fresh, aromatic or pungent. Similarly, music is usually divided into classical and popular ones. Some people enjoy classical music, while others are fascinated by pop music. It’s a liberal world today. Personally speaking, I prefer classical music for the following reasons.
First of all, classical music outweighs its popular counterpart in that it molds one’s character, temperament and disposition. In the history of classical music, there are almost uncountable famous classical musicians such as Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Brahms and Vivaldi. Their classical music has benefited uncountable people all over the world.
