Help Me Exploit I Mean Win The Hearts Of Anime Fans!

So a few friends of mine convinced me to play my violin at a local anime convention in March. I personally think this is a great idea to get my skills out to the pubic and start a little solo job with my skills and that good think but the thing is, I do have limited knowledge of what's songs are popular with anime fans. So this is where you guys, my loyal and respectful fans of my work come in.

What anime songs from the past and present are popular with the anime fanbase? What songs would give me instant praise,respect, and nerdy anime fangirls if I play them?

So far, here's the songs I know how to play:


The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Lost My Music


Cowboy Bebop - The Real Folk Blues


Sailor Saturn's Theme

Yes, a very wide range of selection of music, amirite? Anyways, I need suggestions and ideas of what songs I should play.

One-Winged Angel would easily win the hearts of millions.

Learn some Naruto songs. You'll lose your dignity but win their hearts!

Seriously though, the more popular animes will be the ones that more people will know so I guess they'll be more interested.

As well as any other mainstream Final Fantasy songs.

Yeah. Althrough I ♥♥♥♥in' hate Naruto and love my dignity, I could whore myself into the Naruto fanbase. I could do a Spike Spencer (V/A for Shinji in Neon Genesis who hated the character and the series and only did it for the money) and whore myself to that fanbase so that I could get respected more.

I figure popular anime titles like Naruto, TMOHS, Death Note, and Bleach could do. What songs from those anime are popular, however.

Death Note, either of the openings is really all I know. Unless you wanted to do uh, I think it's Light's Theme.

Or maybe L's theme.

I have absolutely no idea if those are playable on violin or anything, though.

You could do the song from the FMA movie, too.

Here's something that's already for the violin, but you'd need a chick to sing.

The surest way to win not only to win the hearts of anime fans, but also their deep respect and affection, is to do a One Piece song, namely We Are.

We Are (Instrumental)

As for Bleach songs, I think the melody here
would roll pretty well with a skilled violin - D-tecnolife.

Also, remember the ol' rule: anime fans = Square fans
So, Hikari from Kingdom Hearts.

Try Kyoudai from FMA.

Aerith/Aeris's theme. You'll win nostalgia points of epic proportions.

And Cloud smiles From Advent Children.

You should try and learn this:

This is Sayuri's melody from the movie "The Place Promised in our Early Days". Its a lovely melody that I think anime fans will enjoy, I know I do.

Though not a popular anime, .Hack//Sign has some memorable music.

Edit:

You can also learn some songs from some of Miyazikis films.

Do On the Precipice of Defeat from Bleach, if you can.

A friend of mines suggestive to me that I should learn Country Road from "Hipsters of the Heart". The violin part isn't too hard, but I think I might learn the part of the chick singing and ♥♥♥♥.

Yeah, I have to whore myself to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥s I hate the most: Final Fantasy VII fans. Sure Aeris' theme is great and all but i hate that game and it's fanbase so much.

A sad song. I already know how to play that song.

I am gonna learn the Hare Hare Yukai song. However, if I see some ♥♥♥♥in' nerds dancing to that song, I'm gonna stop playing. Oh and speaking of the Hare hare Yuaki song, I have a joke for ya:

What's the difference between the Hare Hare Yukai dance and the Moonwalk?

What's the difference between the performer/singer of Hare Hare Yukai and the performer of the Moonwalk and Bille Jean?

You could try the opening from elfen Lied.

But I don't know how difficult it is.

It's not hard at all. Found the sheet music for it and I can play it!

What about nighteyes from Umineko n koro ni?Lots of people like Umineko!

Or perhaps Dear You from Higurashi? I know this song on the ocarina,its really fun to play!

And I second the request to play the Elfen Lied theme,it sounds beautiful on the violin. And you better play some Sailor Moon songs,dammit!
(post videos on youtube of you playing the songs!I want to see you play!)

You play the violin too?! I didn't know that.

Try to adapt your own version of the Caramelldansen. It's not impossible and if you do it well enough you will get some major fans.

Yep! I think I'll upload some videos soon on YouTube.


Yo Sira, so yeah, I listen to Elfen Laid and watch the anime. What. The. Hell? Oh, boo woo Lucy, you were pick on as a little girl because of your mutant powers and blood. No seriously, Lilum is a pretty song. Very sad as well.
