Oh wow I wasn't aware of that, though I remember there being a similar case with both the opening themes being based on two of the writer's earlier songs.

Unfortunately Sedaka's original version of the second OP remains unreleased, as far as I know.
The ED was based on one of his songs as well, which I actually really like (don't much care for Better Days are Coming on the other hand)

Hopefully this is not too off topic, but this singer does lots of covers of retro anime and tokusatsu songs and dropped a really faithful Mio L-Gaim cover today. Thought other anons may enjoy this.

I will forever hate the name on that third video, spoiled me on something I had no idea about. My own fault for looking the OST up for Danpei's theme but I just didn't expect that shit to be there, could've easily called it something like Rikishi's Theme 2 or something.

Speaking of AnJ music, here are Joe and Carlos's theme when they're entering the ring.

I think that my favorite Anime soundtrack is probably Akira's. I love the prog, traditional, and ambient fusion that the soundtrack has. Geinoh Yamashirogumi's entire discography is fantastic as well. Akira's soundtrack essentially has two sibling albums as well. Ecophony Rinne and Ecophony Gaia. Rinne is my favorite ambient album. If anyone enjoyed Akira's soundtrack I highly recommend listening to these if you haven't done so already.
Akira sample: https://files.catbox.moe/hfrn06.flac
Rinne: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yvm2PUgP9_s
Gaia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS1wkJqU3G0

My second favorite is probably Turn A Gundam's soundtrack. I believe that it is by far Kanno's best. The soundtrack is nostalgic and refreshing. The mix of British folk sounds and wide open Coplandesque feeling pieces perfectly fit the show's Amerian setting.

Utena's soundtrack is fantastic. It got me into listening to Japanese Zeuhl and brutal prog like ruins and Koenji Hyakkei.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W36iAoH_FSs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyUnpIIK2FA

The rest is amazing too. Clear and crystalline melodies that enhance the show a great deal, but never feel obtrusive. Really is peak BGM. I feel that the Pokemon anime had a soundtrack of a similar quality for a time.
