Story Mode

Eternal Core

PRAGMATISM by Laur is an artcore song with beautiful and dreamy instrumentals. It also has a slightly remixed form for the Beyond chart.
Sheriruth by Team Grimoire serves as Tairitsu's first signature song and its intense beats highlight her determination to get rid of negative Arcaea. It even has a remix by Laur!
Solitary Dream by ak+q ft. Senzai is an add-on to the pack. A beautiful and catchy song, its instrumental was the game's startup music from v2.2.0 to 3.12.10 and might as well be the game's Theme Song.

Vicious Labyrinth

Grievous Lady by Team Grimoire & Laur mixes orchestral instruments with extremely intense beats and a memorable melody to create a powerful song fitting for one of the hardest levels in the game. The extended versions expand on the buildup and the climax to deliver the full force of the song in its uncut form.

Luminous Sky

Ether Strike by Akira Complex has an outstanding drop that elevates the entire song to a whole new level.
Fracture Ray, the Anomaly boss track of Luminous Sky, made by the BMS of Fighters legend Sakuzyo, has intense rapid-fire beats and several intense drops.

Black Fate

Dantalion by Team Grimoire (who also did Sheriruth and Grievous Lady) starts with some ominous choirs then proceeds with the hardcore element. And after the calm but haunting part in the middle of the song, the song became intense and chaotic, which remains until the end of the song.
#1f1e33 is an intense Neurofunk by famed EDM producer (and frequent Rhythm Game music maker) Camellia.
Tempestissimo by famous J-core producer t+pazolite is a powerful song created to serve as the hardest song in the entire game, with its highest difficulty being Beyond 11.

Final Verdict

Infinite Strife, by BlackYooh vs siromaru is a powerful hardcore track and features enchanting vocals by Risa Yuzuki. It is the first unlock of Axiom of the End which pumps up the players for the next set of challenges.
Pentiment by Nothing by Requiem with Museo (a.k.a. RoughSketch) is an intense and chaotic song, and in the middle of the song the lane becomes six! After some rest, it ends with a Last Note Nightmare.
Arcana Eden by Team Grimoire vs Sakuzyo vs Laur. The creators of previous Anomaly songs "Grievous Lady" and "Fracture Ray" have joined up to create the penultimate track of Arcaea. The composers' parts in this song are well defined, and after a loud kick the song becomes very intense, ending with a barrage of irregular rhythms. The chart also features the same six lanes as "Pentiment", adding to the challenge.
Testify by void(Mournfinale) feat.星熊南巫 starts with Ominous Latin Chanting as it welcomes players to the story's finale. The song is accompanied by heavenly piano and vocals with the lyrics describing Hikari's struggle while fighting Tairitsu. The song ends with another chant, and when playing for the first time the lane breaks apart! This is the Final Boss song of Arcaea and has the first and only Beyond 12.

Silent Answer

Loveless Dress by かねこちはる is a somber piano piece at the beginning to signify the despair after losing someone dear. Then it turns into a triumphant piece which gives a glimmer of hope even when all seems lost.
"Last" by onoken is aptly used for Arcaea's final credits, and it comes in three versions! An instrumental version which is played initially, "Last | Moment" for the first ending, and "Last | Eternity" for the second ending. The lyrics of "Moment" and "Eternity" perfectly describe Hikari's feelings in both endings.

Lasting Eden

Abstruse Dilemma by Ashrount vs. 打打だいず is a manic, mood swinging melody that shifts between being cheery and grim, perfectly encapsulating Maya's fractured mental state and her desire to live again or die a second time.

Memory Archive (individual-song DLC)

Alexandrite by WAiKURO (a.k.a. BlackY) is an amazing trance song with an extremely memorable melody. Xeraphinite, a "sequel" to "Alexandrite", is just as mesmerizing.
