Does anyone else listen to a specific song while reading a manga in particular?

[Grindstone]

I do that for all of my favorite series. Each one of them has their own handpicked BGM that I tend to look for until I find one that I feel like it fits the atmosphere of the story.
But aside from that I also have multiple playlists for manga of the romance genre in general (since that's most of what I read).
I would imagine it's fairly common for people listen to music while reading manga, but do you all also handpick songs or/and create playlists for them too?

For example, this is what I listen to while reading:

Live or Not - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7PMJfAT6fk
Horimiya - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfephiFN76E
Boku no Orion - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx1HluBGqU0 (preferably before going to sleep)
One Punch Man - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjyTzL6sxdQ
Sleeping Princess and Dreaming Devil -
Fushigi no Kuni no Arisugawa-san - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isx1oNFDki4

These are just a few examples though. So, what do you listen to? ^__^

I tend to avoid listening to music when I read manga because it sort of reduces my ability to focus

For me, songs are a limited motivation resource; after listening to a song multiple times, it kind of loses its effectiveness, and I have to avoid it for a while to give it time to "recharge". (I'd say that for me, a song typically regains its full effectiveness after about 6 months.) Since manga is like a consuming activity, using it with music would be kind of a waste for me! I try to save music for when I really have to be productive, like for school, or work.

That said, there are some songs that are just very strongly associated with an manga in my mind. I don't really know why. Maybe it's because I happened to hear the song around the same time that I first got into the series? Anyway, here are some examples:

- "The Lost One's Weeping": very strongly associated with Nononono for me... idk, the music sounds really reminds me of ski-jumping for some reason.
- "Chiru Chiru": very strongly associated with 3-gatsu no Lion for me... They just feel really similar for some reason.
- "Streaming Heart": very strongly associated with Death Parade for me (This is an anime) It... actually fits surprisingly well with one of the stories in the anime.
- "Coward Mont Blanc": For some reason, this reminds me a lot of Kazumi from Brynhildr in the Darkness.
- "Caramel Heaven": For some reason, this reminds me a lot of Kyouko from Danganronpa (this is a video game/anime franchise).

im pluviophile so listening to rain / droplets / sea / storm / thunderstorm / river stream will help me read faster and understand deeper or even picking some detail i haven't pick-up yet from the previous reading .

i don't have any problem yet while listening to music when im reading , but it's simply normal . sometimes i forgot them , if im too absorbed to read .

however , do avoid listening to music while you reading a manga especially when you're driving ... seriously you'll die
