TV Drama music thread
I've been a long-time frequenter of vgmdb, but somehow I never wandered into the "Miscellaneous Discussion" subforums, so I was surprised to see a few threads on soundtracks of Japanese TV series. That's why I thought that a proper topic is in order for folks to discuss & share recommendations.
I've been watching doramas regularly since 2008, more so than anime, so here's a few recommendations. My biggest favourite is probably the soundtrack for LIFE, a dorama adaptation of the manga of the same name. While most drama soundtracks tend to favor orchestral and piano music, then LIFE adapts an edgier sound. Sort of a combination of raw electronics and rock. The more relaxed themes are of acoustic guitar variety. Kairou - One of the standouts of the album for sure Niky Probably the most eclectic track. It's actually a character theme, and it's exceptionally fitting! I wish the ending melody would last longer though. Senkou - Nice mellow piece. While I don't hold the dorama in high esteem, Hanazakari no kimitachi e (the first one) has quite a cheerful and peppy sound it. Ikemen BOOGIE Boyz be Ambitious Hana yori dango (both seasons) also sports a really wonderful array of tunes! A bit sappy at places, but never overbearing. It is a soundtrack for a romantic comedy after all! Hana Yori Dango Main Theme Cloudy Noon - Probably my favourite off the whole soundtrack. F4 The theme for the boy group. Generally plays when bad things start happening :P So here's a few tonight. I have quite a bit of more, but I'll post them later! Look forward to people's opinions on dorama music! |

I enjoyed Kairou, Niky (your link is broken), Senkou, and F4. Nice selections. I'm not familiar with any Japanese live-action works aside from Yoko Kanno's soundtracks.

I thought Hana Yori Dango sounded nice. Then I realized it's by Kousuke Yamashita. Guess I've got to check out the full album.

Raziel, thank you for starting this thread.
I start noticing drama soundtracks when I was searching for more CD´s of my favorite anime composers like Sahashi, Kanno, Hattori, Iwashiro and than I found that these composers are also really prolific in drama music scene. I saw my first drama which was GOLD because of inspiring music by "titan duo" Akira Senju and Yoshihiro Ike and than I saw drama Kokosei Restaurant with music of my favorite composer Takayuki Hattori. Japanese TV Drama is really special animal - some of my favorites: Hero, Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de, 37 Sai de Isha ni Natta Boku, Hotaru No Hikari , Ogon no Buta, Senyiu Tantei Tokage Now I am watching: Kodoko no Gurume season 3 - this is probably my favorite drama, Gekiryuu - Watashi o Oboeteimasuka, Machi Isha Jumbo!! and I am planning to watch Hanzawa Naoki SOME MUSIC INSPIRATION GOLD (AKIRA SENJU) - Fight for Victory http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOZJTuq2uJQ This is Senju excellent action track (you can hear there some of his action scoring trademarks) Restaurant de Roi theme - TAKAYUKI HATTORI (live performance) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydssLJGFEog Man I would really like see this live. Oh, why there isn´t DVD/BD release of this concert...
