wheatsquares talks about Monogatari music corner. Monogatari is a weird, long, sprawling series that I have seen all of (but it was like 6-7 years ago at this point, so I don't remember much, I generally liked it for the artistry but a lot of the content is...questionable). Anyway, Renai Circulation is obviously the BIG opening everyone knows from that show, but honestly the series consistently has some of the coolest song + video combinations in all of anime. I like Renai Circulation, but I don't even know if it's in my top 5 for the series.
See also:
Mathemagics - Marina Inoue
Mousou Express - also by Kana Hanazawa, totally different vibe to Renai Circulation though
Sugar Sweet Nightmare - Yui Horie
Kogarashi Sentiment - Chiwa Saitou & Shinichiro Miki (probably my favorite Monogatari opening--love the city pop vibe of the song, and the visuals are ridiculous, maybe my favorite anime opening ever visually)
The Last Day of My Adolescence - Miyuki Sawashiro (full length song flows better than the shortened version though)
Ok that's all I could remember off the top of my head

When I was listening the rankdown I wrote down notes for almost every song 28 Kana Hanazawa - 恋愛サーキュレーション: Ok 25 João Gilberto - Chega de Saudade: Decent 4 Daler Mehndi - Tunak Tunak Tun: Absolute banger 29 Issam Hajali - Khobs: Kinda boring 26 King Sunny Ade - Ja Funmi: Felt repetitive 31 Ali Farka Touré with Ry Cooder - Ai Du: Felt too long and kinda boring 23 Marek Grechuta - Dni, których nie znamy: The final part was my favorite 18 Red Velvet - Bad Boy: Fun 27 Ata Kak - Daa Nyinaa: I don't really like his voice but instrumentation is fire 32 Los Saicos - Demolición: This was more annoying than enjoyable 17 Egschiglen - Hunnu: This is weird but in a good way

some thoughts on this set
32: unsurprising last place but still a cool addition to the list imo 31: I may have underranked this, it honestly rips especially for the time it came out 30: at first I thought this got a bit annoyingly repetitive but that beat is very infectious 28: just a very pleasant listen 27: I really wish I could've ranked this higher 26: same situation here 24: I've definitely seen that video before somewhere lol 23: the instrumental is really nice, totally deserved higher

so so happy for this turnout of participation
even the songs I ranked low like Ai Du and Hunnu were so cool to check out and discover
Daa Nyinaa was absolutely brilliant, and 'Dni, których nie znamy' deserved so much better - I had it at #4 at some point. Maybe it's my polish roots speaking here.
Khobs is very simple but that's the magic about it imo. it also hit too close to home, Lebanese people had to suffer so much throughout the years and the story behind it is insane.
Tunak Tunak Tun just manages to put a smile on my face from start to finish, plus I'm convinced the music video is one of the greatest things ever made.

{WALL OF WORDS}#32: Yeah, I figured this would be low, as it was probably too out there even for this list. A common theme in this RD: Really liked this, but it just kept getting pushed down by even better discoveries. #31: Fun little song, just a bit outclassed here. #30: Repeated itself a lot and went on a biiiiiiit too long, but a trimmed down version would probably bang. #29: The "right" choice for a Red Velvet representative, though not my personal favorite, for very obvious reasons to some of you. #28: A very timely song, but a good one. #27: Mdou Moctar opened my eyes to African guitar music, and man, it's all just so good. #26: Icon. If anything, I probably underranked this a bit...but then, what do I put below it? #25: The only song here that I didn't really get a lot out of. It's fine, but in a rankdown that has so many standout songs, it gets lost in the shuffle easily. #24: Well, I thought this would have the highest SD, but I genuinely thought it would escape the first day. I went in expecting this to be my 32, and then I listened to it again, and, honestly, it kind of rules? #23: He has better. #22: Cute little song, but definitely not the best example of an anime theme here. I didn't lose a single song in my top 20, wtf lol

I am open to hearing more foreign instrumental songs but I wasn’t feeling Homesickness.

while listening to this I found this lady lived her last decades in Jerusalem which is very interesting
a pleasant listen and I’ll check out more of her, just lacking something in it

I was able to understand what Na boca do sol was about before I looked up the translated lyrics. Impressive.

Homesickness inspired me to listen to the full length from Emahoy that came out this year (I think it's all archival recordings). It's really really good

炉心融解 and ラグトレイン are both strong vocaloid tracks. The latter is a bit easier to consume.
