*** The promised movies are equally awesome. ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwluBRxGAeI Universal Bunny]'', ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB-UQYpsR7U Pink Monsoon]'', ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnZ9cglDGf8&feature=related Obelisk]'', and from ''[[Grand Finale|The Wings of Goodbye]]''? [[This Is the Final Battle|Try]] '''''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cmnAmzcRx4 The Wings of Goodbye]'''''. The final soundtrack auspiciously named {{spoiler|''End of Triangle''}} also featured, as its last song, one more version of ''[[Tear Jerker|Diamond Crevasse]]'': ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldp48dzdlWs Diamond Crevasse ~ thank you, Frontier]''.
*** At this point you should realize that ''all'' of the soundtracks count.
* Often looked over is her work for ''[[Turn aA Gundam (Anime)|Turn a Gundam]]''. Quite a few of the songs are very well done, especially [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_OlWVTQPJA Black History] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU35fJNtxp8 Moon].
* ''[[Vision of Escaflowne]]'''s "Dance of Curse." [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSlNHi6wgQQ Repetitive, but awesome].
** The movie had an up-tempo reprise [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVi2HVWm72c "Dance of Curse II"], and then took it to the next level with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1clgyPLkUg "Black Escaflowne"]. Neither track would have been out of place in an apocalyptic Hollywood movie preview.
Line 80:
** There's also the desperate, melancholy [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBwwUfCVA0c Christmas in the Silent Forest].
** To sum up, the soundtrack is really, REALLY good!
* Several tracks from ''[[Turn aA Gundam (Anime)|Turn a Gundam]]'': Moon [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_He5ZhyDXUg (especially the live version)], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWJY2zJ8u5s Tsuki no Mayu], and This Troper's personal favorite, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxOU-HTCF6Y Back to the River - Original Vocal Version].
* [[Brain Powerd]] is also worthy of note as sort of a precursor to [[Turn aA Gundam (Anime)|Turn a Gundam]], this was the first collaberation between Kanno and Yoshiyuki Tomino and gave us such great songs as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbBerjcezXM Light of Love], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JaEgxL6VmM Sonne] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn9vOyGDTZ8 Flow].
* The ''[[Genesis of Aquarion]]'' soundtrack, especially the theme song ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez5Aqj30g8w Sousei no Aquarion]'', composed by her.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDc7e2lBAa0 The English version] is no slouche either.
