Best Instrumental of 2010?

What is your favorite Anime song played without vocal? Sometimes it sounds alot different without voice, Mine favorite for now is Fuyu No Hi, from K-on. it sounds different without the chipmunk voice singing and rather happy song, listen to it and enjoy some pics of Yui and Ui :P
I also like JOINT from SnS but that was back in 2008~
what do you like?
I don't watch many anime this year. For K-ON!! itself I like GO! GO! MANIAC the best. The instrument play sounds very challenging :) of course it's best without the vocal, lol XD
Totally agree, the guitarist behind Yui and Mio was awesome. Forgive me but I'm gonna be honest, Yui's voice is awful and Mio's is ok but not great IMO.
The ED song of Soremachi is very good, too. Very creative.
My vote as far as instrumentals goes to Brave Song from Angel Beats!
Tenshi ni Fureta Yo sounded very very joyful when on instrumentals... though it really was sad when it was being sang to Azusa. =3
My vote is, Watahi no koi wa hotch kiss.
I practice the lead every day last time, and even manage to reproduce the whole off vocal song using Fruity Loop.
If I were to narrow my choices to a selection of actual songs with lyrics and ignored movies which contained music from previous years, such as Haruhi, Tengen Toppa, Macross Frontier, Evangelion, and Eden of the East, but included animes which extended its run from the winter 09 cours into 2010, such as, Railgun and Kobato, I would list the following as my favorite anime songs from 2010. I don't normally listen to instrumental tracks, but I mostly like such tracks if I like the song. ^^
1. "Kuchizuke" from Shiki
2. "No, Thank You!" from K-On!!
3. "Irony" from Oreimo (an instrumental track does not actually exist in publication, I don't think)
4. "Trust Me" from Durarara
5. Listen!! from K-On!!
6. "Jellyfish no Kokuhaku" from Kobato
7. "Flying Humanoid" from Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin
8. "Hatsukoi wa Zakuro-iro" from Zakuro
9. "Real Force" from Railgun
10. "Dear My Friend" from Railgun (the Japanese Engrish reversal of possessive adjective with mere adjective is delightful)
Alas, my favorite anime song from 2010 is only about 35~55 seconds long and may or may not have instrumental accompaniment. It's the battle song from Zakuro. The lyrics are lyrical, the melody is charming, and I love the playful chanting at "Asore Apare Apare Aparena."
BTW, I think the top 3 sexiest K-On! girls would be--
1) Ui
2) Yui
3) Ritsu
--if they would only let their hair down. :p
I listen to so many anime songs, and if I have the song on my ipod, you bet you can find it's instrumental as well. I can't really pinpoint one instrumental I like, but besides AB! instrumentals and many other anime song instrumentals, my favorite of all time is JOINT by Mami Kawada, both the song and it's instrumental. It's so cool that I can't really explain it.
One instrumental I've been dying to find is Irony by Claris used as the opening for Oreimo. While the album claims to have it, I checked and it's only the TV size version. The only place I've sort of found it is here in a mix with Renai Circulation:

Can anyone tell me where I can find it? It's such a good song and the instrumental on my ipod would be a great addition.
hmmmm
Seishun Vibration - K-ON!! Akiyama Mio Character Image CD
:D
what a bass intro <3
LOVE by death devil sounds intense instrumentally too :P
I agree^^, that is my fav instrumental of the year!!!
Bah, can't believe no one's mentioned the incredible trumpet rendition of Amazing Grace from Sora No Woto. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgOe4eqxkQc
because that is not a happy song
I'll agree on the Angel Beats! choice -- specifically "My Soul, Your Beats!" for me. When I can clearly hear the instruments, specifically in the 2nd and final chorus parts, it brings a totally euphoric feeling for me. ^^;
Angel Beats aye
Yasashii Boukyaku gets my vote as well <3
