Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra is probably my favorite band of all time, and they’ve built up quite a catalogue. I absolutely adore their cover of the theme from Brazil: https://youtu.be/Jw9Av1BSefQ

Lately in terms of Japanese music, Susumu Hirasawa never fails to impress me with his unique style of music and the first time I discovered his music when Berserk 1997 was shown to me by a friend and yes I love the music and the series overall because of that. if John Williams is to Star Wars, then Susumu Hirasawa is to Berserk.
