J-List carries the awesome iTunes Japan prepaid cards, which allow you to buy great music from Japan for your iPod, iPhone or Mac/PC, including many great anime themes and related songs. Since there’s no cental page for anime-related music on iTunes it can be a bit challenging to find the anime soundtracks you want, but a good place to start is by searching for “anime” in Japanese or English (note, all links open iTunes). Another suggestion we have is searching for songs published by Lantis, the record label that releases many of the best anime soundtracks — click here for some nice ones. Checking out sets of songs created by users is also fun, like this link featuring the most popular tunes from popular Japanese video site Nico Nico Dougu. Some other suggestions: fans of Shana of the Blazing Eyes should check this out, that dreamy Wolf and Spice OP theme is here, there are plenty of great songs by the red-hot Kotoko here, and a really cool “Heavy Metal Anime Remix” album can be seen here. Our prepaid iTunes Cards are available in 1500 and 3000 yen versions.
