----------
Tokyo Babylon's music tends to differ from conventional anime themes, partly because each and every song reflects the story or characters in some manner, and also because it has a bit of everything (pop, rock, dance, techno). The character singles are sometimes upbeat, sometimes depressing, and occasionally just downright crazy. Drawing huge influence from popular culture in the late 80s and early 90s, these songs are a varied bunch with lyrics that are, at times, entirely appropriate to the mood of the story and characters. Unfortunately, these CDs listed are either out of print or extremely rare, so head on over to the music page to get a taster of what's to come.
