I trust your taste in music so I'd like to ask you for headcanons of what the following haikyuu!! characters would enjoy listening to: Kuroo, Daichi, Suga, Akaashi, Iwa, Bokuto, Semi, Kiyoko, Yachi, Lev, Shirabu, Aone, Futakuchi, Tsukki. (just the genres please) Thanks Kayla! Sorry if it's too much work!
hi anon! thank you so much for the request! it was the first thing i saw when i woke up this morning & just had to get it out bc i had so many thoughts on it? also please don’t apologize! it was so much fun to write! i’m sorry i didn’t include semi or lev or shirabu, i’m not comfortable with their characters enough at this point, but i hope you enjoy the rest!
note: i did add some links of songs i think fit the genre & that they would listen to!
okay i see daichi as having pretty standard music taste
i don’t wanna say he’s basic? (but he’s kinda basic)
but that’s not a bad thing! he likes bops that bop, pretty catchy music that’s universally agreed upon to be good
he listens to the radio a lot, but i also see him as having playlists for very specific *activities* (not moods, which is how i make my playlists)
for example, daichi has a driving playlist, workout playlist, running playlist, practice playlist, etc
his GUILTY PLEASURE music however, is oldies country
like john denver & johnny cash type of vibes
he can often be heard singing “ring of fire” under his breath when he’s focusing
he doesn’t even realize he’s doing it?
the songs just give him a sense of comfort and familiarity
ok this man has a really versatile music library
it ranges from sweet pop to heavy metal and pretty rarely does he listen to anything in between
he does use lofi music when he’s working on homework or studying because he feels like it puts him in the zone
definitely has playlists with meme based names like “pikachu face”
ok i see suga as having somewhat similar music taste to mine (i have no good reason for thinking this, it’s just kind of the vibe i get)
he likes to listen to pretty much anything?
but he draws the line at like SUPER screamo metal
but his favorite genre is probably indie and bedroom pop vibes
i’m imagining the paper kites but with troye sivan thrown in, something like this
this man has impeccable music taste i don’t know what to tell you
it’s too advanced for me to speak to honestly
i see him listening to a lot of lofi sort of music, especially when he’s studying
but when he’s editing or writing? straight up instrumental
but not in the classical music sense?
this man is rocking out to some truly amazing soundtracks as he works
his favorite composers include: john powell and hans zimmer (think how to train your dragon and the lord of the rings. oh and jurassic park)
but if he’s just kind of hanging and vibing out, he likes soft folky music
idk why but this was a tough one
but i see iwa as listening to classic rock
it not only pumps him up but it can also be really heartfelt and emotional?
i think that balance suits him really well, it provides versatility within one genre that’s pretty easy for him to access
like imagine him rocking out to cold hard bitch but then also loving november rain?
bokuto is ALL OVER THE PLACE
this man knows every song in the top 40 one one week and then the next has no clue what any of the songs his teammates suggest are
he can appreciate anything, from classical music to rap (the former does not hold his attention well, but he can appreciate it)
he listens constantly to beachy music as his general vibe because it makes him happy and calm, like this and this
but if he’s getting hyped up for a game he listens to heavy metal (he and kuroo have a shared playlist that they add to together)
he’s very receptive to music suggestions, and if someone gives him one he’ll listen carefully all the way through
the kind of guy to have playlists based on all of his friends with music suggestions from them
like suga i also see kiyoko as the bedroom pop type
she can relax to it, get work done to it, and likes to support lesser known artists
BUT we stan a versatile queen
she also loves the kind of music that makes you want to climb on a motorcycle and get out of town, like this
this sweet angel listens to what i like to call “twinkle lights and light pink” music
i do not have another word for it, i’m sure there’s a name for the genre, but idk what it is
it’s soft and light and very sweet
she likes to listen to it in the mornings when she’s getting ready and finds it calms her and puts her in the right mindset for the day
i also see her enjoying pop music, top 40s sort of catchy beats
this man listens to calming music 24/7
people are always surprised bc they expect some sort of loud angry music just based on appearance alone, but aone really loves the way that calming lofi and acoustic music makes him feel
i also see him enjoying country music
this man screams 2000s alternative music to me
he is rocking out to like stacy’s mom, flavor of the week kinda vibes
he also listens to hip hop occasionally, but it’s not the majority
ok i strongly feel like tsukki’s taste in music is kinda,, basic??
not in a bad way, but he definitely tries to make it seem like he’s the kind of guy who listens to,,, underground really obscure artists when he’s really listening to whatever taylor swift or ariana grande just put out (the one i linked is a BOP)
also listens to podcasts 100% unironically
his favorites are the true crime ones but he’ll also listen to music history
omg i forgot to add my faves 🥰(also taglist): @oyakags @cosmictooru @over5feettall @kaidasen @achoohq
