Special OST mention: 

Beautiful!

Howdy!

Big soundtrack lover here.  Soundtracks make scenes a lot richer than they would be without a great song in the background.      

It's very difficult for me to pick only three, since there are so many.        

Some that I never get tired of listening are:        

Bloody Romance       

10 Miles of Peach Blossoms (Eternal Love)       

Legend of Fuyao         

      

However, there are some music and scenes that go so well together that I keep going back and watching them.  

One example is the drama The Double and the zither competition between the two sisters. 

There are several others. This is just the latest one. 

       

I have one question.  Where do you get the music from?  I usually find them on YouTube but the quality and availability is limited.  Where can we get the real thing?

       

Cheers!

You mean like streaming or a physical CD? 

I wonder too!! 😆

I mean, I've been lucky to find a few OST's on Amazon Music, but seems like others have some success on Spotify.

I tried Spotify but their titles seem to be in their original language (Chinese, Korean, etc.); therefore, difficult to find for me.      Haven't seen them on Amazon yet, only YouTube. 

Wasn't able to find CDs here in the US either.  Maybe they are only available in the dramas' countries of origin?

I wouldn't be surprised if they are only available in the org. country. I've had difficulty using the org. language names too. Sometimes it works to use Google translate, but that's even kinda rare.

I'm sure there are a few MDL members who knows what's what, lol. Maybe they will see your post!

Yeah I mean I have sometimes had to use like a Japanese website to find an OST CD and just Google translated my way through the checkout page. It's tricky though I don't think all sites do international shipping. I know some people will use a courier service or ask a friend to help them purchase stuff, especially limited time sales. I've seen a few of those kinds of sales on Etsy but idk how legit those are. 

The other alternative is to torrent like maybe on nyaa. There used to be some pretty good direct download music archives for anime, but I think the last one I knew of was taken down. 

When it comes to finding tracks on Spotify

  •  what I usually do is go to the drama page, copy and paste the native language title. Usually in Spotify it's the right one if the title is in weird brackets like something that looks like <<text>>  or maybe 《text》 for Chinese titles and something that looks like a strange L shape on the left and upside-down L shape on the right for Japanese titles. Usually the drama title is  in the place where they have the album title. 
  • Alternatively, looking up the translated drama title will pop up fanmade playlists that sometimes people use an accurate tracklist for. 
  • If you know who the composer is, you can sometimes find the instrumental OST that way. 

@Fiflylover: 

your method is the same as mine :)   I'm still looking for sound track songs: 

H Yan Bin aka Tiger Hu  "Returning door / Resurrection Door" from   The Mystic Nine, the complete Longest Day In Chang'an OST (the one with Reza's rock song that uses Bai Li's poem about a swordsman), and my most recent obession, the Intro song from Original Sin (there is a version on youtube believe it or not!)

For Mystic Nine, I found this in Apple Music but I'll let you search for the specific track since idk what it sounds like. I think you should be able to preview the tracks even if you dont have a subscription: https://music.apple.com/cn/album/%E8%80%81%E4%B9%9D%E9%96%80-%E9%9B%BB%E8%A6%96%E5%8E%9F%E8%81%B2%E5%B8%B6/1138600910

As for the rest I think need more information to help.

Oh my goodness, are you kind!   Thanks for the links to the OST (I hve apple music & itunes).  The song isn't on that OST - which is weird because the song I'm looking for is the ending theme (this one: 

胡彦斌(Tiger Hu) - 还魂门(Resurrection Gate) 电视剧《老九门》(The Drama "The Mystic Nine") OST)
