Several of his songs have been used in anime and live action dramas and movies adapted from manga.
Honey and Clover included songs from his album "Clover", like "Hachigatsu no Serenade", "Tsuki to Knife" and "Yubikiri". Suga provided the song "Aozora Pedal" for the live version movie, starring Arashi's Sho Sakurai. The song would become Arashi's 17th single.[3][4]

His song "Yūdachi" was used as the closing theme for the movie Boogiepop and Others,[5] and as the opening theme for the 2000 anime series Boogiepop Phantom. "Hajimari no Hi" was used as the first opening theme to Letter Bee, and after a year and three months, he released "Yakusoku", which would be the opening for the "Letter Bee" sequel, Letter Bee Reverse. In 2019's live action adaptation of the manga "Yotsuba ginkō Harashima Hiromi ga mono mōsu!~ Kono hito (on'na) ni kakero ~", his song "Tōi yoake" would be the first song he's written as a theme song for a TV Tokyo dorama.[6] On June 26, 2022, it was revealed that he would provide the song "Monster disco", arranged by Hyadain, which would serve as ending for Digimon Ghost Game's episodes, from ep 32 on.[7][8][9] Starting April 7, 2023, Suga's song "Hachimitsu" (ハチミツ, "Honey") will serve as ending song for Isekai's new anime series.[10][11][12]
