* From a real unknown AMERICAN one: ''DigitalALoveStory'', composer 4mat composed the AWESOME rockin' chiptune [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-EAZK9X-Rk Paper Dolls]] that has about 20-30 seconds of nice buildup before literally rocking out.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t8akS3hEQo Gentle Jena]], the title screen from the very short VN ''{{Planetarian}}''. ''Planetarian'' was made by KEY, most notable for making Air, Kanon, and Clannad so listening to this (peaceful) song can help you guess what kind of plot stuff will happen since it IS a KEY work.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WixjopTY18Q Noisy Sweet Home]] from ''{{Deardrops}}'' is the perfectly energetic way to end the main route.

** Also comparable to "Karma": [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrZDyqpXb6M "Once More"]], from {{Never 7}}.

* ''{{Ever17}}''[='=]s [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-XT9FS9TJo Opening Song]] sets the dark and mysterious mood of the VN while still being pretty catchy.

** Among the tracks of ''{{Remember11}}'' there are [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7AmwE9Rw_E "Paranoia"]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSFwiTokRFA "All or None"]] (which is comparable in tone and occasion to "Karma").

* Most of ''{{Tsukihime}}'''s soundtrack is rather understated, due to it being a doujin work. But there is one crowning piece of music in its soundtrack, the melancholy [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFd_Hoo_xaw Homesickness]].

* ''DaCapo''[='=]s [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEcQmOTSYQ4 Small Cherry Promised Bell]] is used at the tension points to great effect.

* ''SoulLink''[='=]s opening [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSHy8egnoeU Not Accepted]] sets the tone for the novel well.

* ''MeltyBlood'' opening, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzuYs7YFtH4 Tribreath]], [=MintJam=]'s version is an awesome rock song, even if you never play the game.

* From the VN Card Game ''Soukoku no Arterial'':
** Here's the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQmV270QHh4 Final Boss Theme]] for each route.
** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3fZz1caKcY OP]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MruvZppfoPM ED]] are also quite good.

* To celebrate finished translation of ''VisualNovel/MajiDeWatashiNiKoiShinasai'' here's the most awesome of character Leitmotif, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zce0tkumWkI Sword Dance]]

* MasaakiEndoh did some music for ''VisualNovel/DengekiStryker''. The opening [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgg-uon5Ls0 Burst Dream]] is a pretty good rock song, but insert song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_ARkwVYw5g BREAKING!]] (a collaboration with AiRi) is incredibly catchy.
** He did it again in UpdatedReleased [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toz0U121B4s OP]] and of course it's awesome too

* ''The Silver Case'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRuy1E6tUsM ''Kouichi'']] is just an epic track for the game.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFouGLSwlOY Final Movement of the Space Rhapsody]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_1c24VPhL8 The Last Song of the World]], the themes for the final battle which decides the fate of the universe. It's very appropriate considering the sheer, absolute power both sides are wielding by that point.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fx2DgzonNdU Song of Saya I]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV-i4OY_5Wk II]] is pretty cool as well.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T22g1mwdfLs Song of Saya I]] is pretty cool as well.

** And on the villains' side, we have Master Therion's theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So7eaYnIn5s I Am Laughing At the Beasts]], and Anticross's "evil stuff is happening" theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYts6iJtIqs Seven Points on Ten]].

* ''VisualNovel/LamentoBeyondTheVoid'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9KmOg-W-cc soundtrack]] is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekyh9bn7m_w beautiful]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y4OrE_ZHq4 lyrical]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsSvL-sU5Og emotional]].

There is some debate to if Visual Novels are actually 'video games' or not. Nevertheless Visual Novels do tend to have some great music which is sad since many people tend to overlook visual novels for other media.
