I've rarely caught up with anime so this is really a great compilations! I thought I had already listened to all of her songs for the past decades but I was completely wrong, I still found 5-6 treasures from here that I haven't heard of yet. Thanks! I totally agree with your no #1, "and the world upon your back will crack" is magical
Arjuna and RahXephon are both so damn underrated: both have incredible visuals, characters and music. That being said, it's somewhat understandable why they're not so well known: Arjuna is about environmental issues, which not all people care about; Rah is mostly dismissed as an Eva copy. My favourite MS song has got to be Tune the Rainbow, for the RahXephon movie of 2003. There's also an ED song she did for CLAMP School Detectives, as well as "Ready? Action!" for CLAMP In Wonderland 2.
And the craziest part is despite all of this musical excellence, she didn't perform "No Promises to Keep". I actually didn't know she made this many anisongs! I'm very familiar with her work with Yoko Kanno but had no idea she did THIS many songs.
while I do have some gripes about the list, not bad. Reminded me of some old songs I have not heard in ages, became a fan of hers back during Escaflowne, 20 someodd years ago. From the list I would definitely put Tune the Rainbow on top, but my favorite, yet not her best, but still my favorite Sakamoto Maaya song, the hidden track from the Escaflowne movie soundtrack. The one that pops up if you leave the album playing for like 20 minutes after the last song on the CD😅. It was sung with her voice, no editing and clearing her voice up.
There is a song name "Stranger in Paradise" and im pretty sure exist a song from an anime or OVA with the same melody, and not so sure that the singer is Maaya. Could somebody give me a hand remembering which song is it?

It's so nice to see so many Wolf's Rain song well placed 😭
#47 is my favorite.
My number one is num 19.. hikari no naka e, have been like that for 24 years. And reigning over all genre of musician and ost.
Soy fan de maaya sakamoto... y no tenia mapeado algunas canciones que eran de anime.. las escuchaba porque eran muy buenas

Great list!
She just knows how to make good songs and in a pretty way. Thx!
NOW NINA THE STARRY BRIDE IS HER NEW BEST & LATEST AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
#6 best
Remedyいい曲。
#33 deserves to rank higher. I mean, it's one of the most known anime song during 90s era, and also one of her signature songs during that time
My Top 2 just escaped out of top 5 lol, my #3 would be #1 or #21 here altho

Never mind i remembered. is The Garden of Everything
and by the way, i dont see any reason why "The Garden of Everything" is not in the list. Is Awesome.
Oh that song is golden. I think she collaborated with Steve Conte. I almost forgot that was an anisong.
i might agree / disagree but... i mean... kiseki no umi not even hitting top 5...? well! we all like different things, i guess! #MaayaSakamoto4Ever
Its still a great song though for the record.
#26？
It's a mashup between Triangler, Lion and other songs from Macross F.
