The Akira soundtrack in it's entirety is good gym music. It helps me focus when I'm lifting weights or doing some cardio like running or boxing.

If anyone knows why there are two different versions of Osorezan and which came first, please let me know. I'm not talking about the live version, there are two subtly different studio versions.

The version closer to 19 minutes, credited as 18:55, is the version that was first released. The version closer to 20 minutes wasn't released until much later. Why the the change? No idea, i'd have to look into it and possibly get a Japanese translator to figure that one out.

@DarkJesus similar artists will never be satisfactory because Geinoh Yamashirogumi have quite a very unique sound which you can't easily find in other artists. It also doesn't sound like typical score music at all even if you would compare it to contemporary japanese score music. It's true that japanese scoring, specifically in the anime genre, do also often use soft synths the same way Yamashirogumi does but they don't incorporate ethnic and traditional sounds like you hear on the Akira score. The only score that I found a bit related in sound to Akira is Kenji Kawai's score for Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence. It has the same kind of eccentricity you hear in Akira.
