Which of these is best, in your opinion?
| A pretty hard question. For me, either her Chuu2koi OPs—especially if considering the B-sides, and of course "Sparkling Daydream" made her name. Or, one of her latest two— I love "Katarezu Tomo" for all its wonderful energy and aggression, and "hopeness", since it has such masterful lyrics, vocals, synth, and piano (ZAQ does all of those herself) and it's so perfectly suited to the inspiring tale it belongs to. Ooh, and the dubstep "OVERDRIVER" is also great. Edit: added her latest single, will keep on doing so. |

| From ones I heard, definitely Voice with Sparkling Daydream and Seven Doors close behind. Overdriver starts really fun (but sadly, I am not fond of the rest) I love how ZAQ's songs always sound original, and fun. |

Ooh those all have such spectacular vocals (the line futatsu no koi ga shinka suru gives me goosebumps) and strong backings too. And I get what you're talking about with "OVERDRIVER", it's rather different for her (but I love it and "TOGARE"). I guess I just love the wild and eccentic side of ZAQ a whole lot ;p |

| Well, I mean, I never expected to be included in a fan club for ZAQ for simply liking a couple of her anime-related music xD I feel like a filthy ZAQ casual or something now, but honestly, OVERDRIVER is the song that got me into ZAQ in the first place. The EDM on that track is just so sexy. |

The EDM on that track is just so sexy. Not at all, everyone's welcome here! This is for anyone who's seen a theme song by ZAQ, smiled, and thought 'this is good'. So naturally, I invited everyone who has her in their favorites. And btw, she basically doesn't have any non-anime-related music; she's exclusively an anison performer and songwriter, and as such pays a TON of attention to fitting music to the stories it accompanies. Look at some of the themes or character songs for other vocalists she's written, and you'll really see that; to hear about her approach in her own words, do check out this little piece and this interview. But yeah, I love "OVERDRIVER" too, for the great sizzling tension of the backing, and her smouldering vocals. (Right now, I'd say "OVERDRIVER" is my favorite ZAQ song.) |

| Sounds like "Seven Doors" is pretty well-regarded! TerranceTsang said: I can even know if the song is from ZAQ just by listening I know what you mean! Even most of the songs she's written for other performers are pretty recognizable. I think it's not just her voice or instrumentation, it's her unrestrained, "chaotic" in her words, sense in songwriting. |
