To me, one of Diigmon's strongest features has always been the music. So, in this thread, describe your favorite songs from 02, be they Japanese or English.
My favorite song (encompassing one of my favorite moments in the entire franchise) is "Our Digital World," sung during the final episode by Kouji Wada, the narrator, and ALL the kids and their Digimon. That alone is cool, but the melody is awesome, and it's an absolutely perfect accompaniment to the final episode. It might well be my favorite Digimon song period.
So...anyone else? What songs do you like?
I've always like the English version and its songs I can't really remember the names of them though those insert songs.
The only song I remember 02 introducing was Run Around, which was awesome.
Our War Game had the best stuff though, like Kick it up

I believe the names of the three English songs were "Run Around," "I'm Going Digital," and "Let's Kick it Up." I prefer "Break-Up" and "Beat Hit" myself, but they were an improvement from Adventure's battle song.
Also, while they never appeared in the show, 02 did have some pretty cool image songs. My favorites were the ones for Ken ("Only One", a rocking dedication to the Digimon Kaiser's evilness), and Wormmon ("The Future You Dreamed of, The Future I Dreamed of", a melancholy tune that's masterfully sung).
...Shouldn't surprise anyone who's read my thoughts on 02.
But really, they are the best of the image songs.

"Here we gooooo!" -- Mario
Those English songs are on the Digimon Movie soundtrack CD (although not all the tracks are listed).
Other original songs on there are "Hey Digimon", "Here we go" and "Change into Power". I did once copy the details for the missing tracks from the movie credits but I can't remember where I put it (I think it was on paper...)
Signature? What signature?
Oh man, I had completely forgotten about 'Change into Power' until I read it listed here. I liked that one a lot.
Let's see here though...I actually enjoyed a lot of the insert songs on the English side, such as Kick It Up, Run Around, and even the infamous Digi-Rap. I've got most of them on my MP3 player, but I also have some of the Japanese soundtrack.
For favorites on the Japanese side...well, any song done by Kouji Wada is an automatic win, so there's all (well most) of the opening themes and the evolution themes. I also love 'Goggle Boy' and Koushiro's theme (the name escapes me at the moment).
Oh! And going back to the English stuff, I really like the theme from Season 4, especially the half-karaoke version used for the dubs of the other movies when we finally got them. Also worthy of mention is Melissa Fahn's lovely singing of 'Promise Me' in the second Tamers film.

Want your work listed on 'Fandom Writer'? Let me know.
"There are two kinds of folks who sit around thinking about how to kill people. Psychopaths, and mystery writers. I'm the kind that pays better."
Me again.
It's worth noting that episode 38 (the Christmas episode) features two Christmas songs, each one sung by one of the "voices" of Digimon's music, so to speak (Kouji Wada and Ai Maeda, who usually do the opening and ending songs respectively). Interestingly, I usually prefer Wada's stuff to Maeda (don't know why, maybe I think they're more powerful), but that is not the case here. The song she sings, "The Angel's Prayer" (played over the ending montage of all the kids) is absolutely beautiful.
