What type of music is this?

Nujabes-Mystline
Daker than black (yoko kanno)-Night Cruise
Bleach - Escalon
Play the chill
A short list of music that sounds as if it had been composed if that makes sense.
Unfortunately i can only find this type of music in anime osts? Anybody know of any composers/artists who produce this type of music? Because I've been searching for hours lmao.

So, a lot of music you find in anime opening credits/closing credits, are composed by a studio. Sometimes some of these anime production companies will hire known or popular kpop singers or kpop/krock bands to write short little pieces of music for anime, or to sing vocals to already written music the studio has, and it's actually more common than it is uncommon.

The genre these often short pieces of music could fall under is maybe a little broad, because there's a lot of it the is pop, a lot of it that is rock, but a majority of it is sort of electronica with vocals too. And the reason you aren't likely to find a lot it other than in the anime they're a part of, is because to my knowledge, it isn't released to the public to purchase, it's just part of the anime only. But you can sometimes find this stuff if you search the name of whoever they have sing the vocals, and actually if you pay attention to the closing credits, whoever sings the song, or if its a group that wrote the song, it lists who the song is by or at least who sings on it.

NUJABES! R.I.P.

Dunno the others, but Nujabes is Hip Hop, and one of the greatest Hip Hop beatmakers in my opinion. His blend of Jazz beats and Hip Hop is amazing.. most of his stuff is instrumental, but sometimes rappers are featured. Check his Metaphorical Music album and the OST of Samurai Champloo, that he made in collaboration with Fat Jon, another amazing Hip Hop producer

Oh, and if you want music like Nujabes you should check other instrumental Hip Hop artists.. I recommend you the aforementioned Fat Jon, Soulchef, The Cancel, Ta-Ku, J Dilla (but who doesn't know J Dilla? He's the most loved beatmaker of all time, R.I.P.), L'Orange, Rhythmatical, Jazz Liberatorz, Samiyam, Flying Lotus and so on.. P.S. you'll probably find vocals on some tunes. I love vocals too, but if that's not your case, skip them

When I first started exploring relaxing instrumental hip-hop the YouTube channel DLoaw was invaluable.
Spend some time browsing it here: DLoaw - YouTube

He has also cooperated with a lot of great artists in the scene to release some free compilations that you should definitely check out:
