Joskun, I hope you don't mind--I want you to add to this too, and definitely still put up that thread about how to find those harder songs. This is just a list of sites that I personally use when I'm looking for songs.

Please refer to these sites before requesting, because I can almost assure you that one of these sites has it.

As I find more useful sites or as people tell me about more, I'll add to this list.

If you still can't find what you're looking for, go ahead and make you're request in my request thread or check my Track List.

-----

Anime and Video Game sites

Anime Yume - Not the biggest assembly of anime songs, but this has a lot of variety. Lots of anime titles. A good place to find opening and ending themes to popular anime.

Starless Night - A site dedicated to Japanese Singers. There's a lot of nice J-Pop artists here. Big thanks to Arinayed for informing everyone of this site. ^^

KHInsider - My favorite. This site's practically got it all--from video game music to anime music.

EDIT

KHInsider seems to have issues with downloads now... Lame.

AnimeOST - An amazing site packed full of anime OSTs and the like. Compliments of Joskun.

EDIT

Did this site shut down or does it just no longer work on my computer?

Blue Laguna - A lot of Video game albums. Great for Final Fantasy, the 'Tales of' series, and Kingdom Hearts, among many other games.

Gendou's Anime Music - It doesn't have everything, but it does have some pretty hard to find songs.

Anime Suki Forums (Vocaloid 2 Thread) - Do you like Vocaloid? Then just root through the 70+ pages of this thread of a forum (no registration required). There are 100's of links to Vocaloid songs posted by people here.

Torrent Sites (For Japanese and Anime things)

Tokyo Toshokan - A torrent site with LOTS of Japanese albums. If you need a torrent extractor, I personally like uTorrent but of course there's hundreds of others.

Nyaa Torrents - A Japanese themed torrent site. I downloaded the famous 'Vocaloid' program from this site. I'm sure it has other awesome things as well.

Youtube audio/video ripping and Conversion sites

flv2mp3 - This site can extract audio from Youtube videos and allow you to download it. Of all the Youtube online audio capture sites, this one has always been the most reliable for me.

Vixy - An alternative to flv2mp3. Also allows you to download the Youtube video itself in a handful of different formats.

All Around Downloading Sites

mp3dl - A general mp3 downloading site... It's had a lot of random Japanese songs that I've searched for before. I use it a lot for J-Pop and such.

4Shared - A general downloading site. I find a lot of J-pop/J-rock albums here in .rar or .zip form. It has other things too, but it's really a great place to find music.

Beemp3 - This site has a bit of everything, music-wise. I found a lot of J-Pop here.

eSnips - You have to make an account (it's free) but this site has quite a number of different things. I found all my Higurashi songs here. Not all people who upload songs have a download link though. :[

Other

Flash Flash Revolution - No, really! In the Simfile database, you can search for specific songs, then, download them to get the audio. Flash Flash has saved my butt while looking for songs a number of times. It really does have a lot of good songs, 'specially those faster, upbeat, techno-y ones.

I found a pretty reliable site for game music, maybe not 100% but, I found a few good things here. Like the broken Angel soundtrack from Fullmetal Alchemist

Well, I'm in Gendou and

Submitted by Santosuu-chan on Sat, 04/10/2008 - 16:17.

Well, I'm in Gendou and animeOST, but not with this username. :p (I still am, but I'm having issues with the e-mail I used to register in aost.)

I used KHInsider too though, but I'm not having problems with the downloads.

Well, I don't mean to be mean or anything, but don't you think that "Asian Music" is too broad a category you specified? I mean, Gendou, and AOST have Japanese pop which are employed as original soundtracks of Japanese animated series/ live dramas (for the case of AOST, since Gendou doesn't allow character songs and live version osts in it) Most of the sites you gave have downloads for only Japanese songs, no Malaysian, Indonesian, Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Iraqi or whatever other Asian nationality songs in them. (Probably the "general mp3 download sites" are an exception.)

I mean, if it meant "Asian Songs", then some dedicated sites for K-pop (Korean pop if you don't know) would have been included too, right? I'm not racist by the way. It's just that I am an Asian, and most of the links for song downloads (NOT the video to mp3 conversion sites) pertain to Japanese pop/rock music.

hmm, i see what you mean, but i know a site where you can download a decent amount of Chinese and Korean music, but you can't download individual songs only complete albums.

Submitted by Avi on Sun, 05/10/2008 - 02:09.

Hey, oh man... The last thing I wanted to do was offend anyone.

I know I don't have sites for finding Chinese, Korean, etc. up now, but I do like the genre of music, and I would like someone to post up links for finding those as well.

I don't want people to think that to help the thread, it HAS to be Japanese. Because I would LOVE for some to help me out by posting sites for other Eastern languages as well.

Santosuu-chan I'm sure

Submitted by Joskun on Thu, 09/10/2008 - 02:19.

Santosuu-chan I'm sure Avi-chan wasn't aware of that. It's a good remark nonetheless. I know a few K-Pop like : Jewelry,1TYM,Baby V.O.X.(thanks to arinayed :)
BoA,Harisu,M.I.L.K and a few others. I know little of C-Pop :(
This site is all about community and sharing awesome songs so please if you know other Asian artists feel free to make a post about them so we can discover and enjoy them ^^

@Arinayed: nice link :D !!!
