Music

Thank you so much! You are truly the best. I am indebted to you for a very long time....probably until June 11th...nah just kidding

I enjoy...well for the most part the only Japanese music I listen to is just openings and endings to shows I like.

Outside of that, I particularly like the Pillows and Hirasawa Susumu.

I dunno in this subject really.

I like the pillows and whoever does the music for Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (still can't find that CD state side...may import it)

but can we have like a feature song of the week or something in the club? Like play a song or part of a song in the club to introduce different Japanese artists?
It might ruin the flow of the club if we do it in between the anime but like before we start showing anime mabey, just have a song play and include it in the summary e-mails?

So like, I just found out about this top 300 anime songs list as voted by 2ch. It was a pretty fun waste of an hour just sitting here looking/listening through all of them and seeing how many of them I recognized and actually liked, though I disagreed with quite a lot of them. At least Tori no Uta was 4th. lol

300-201
200-101
100-1

Well for something hot blooded, you could always go with JAM project

Also, surprisingly hot blooded.

I'm stunned GaoGaiGar made it to 23, yet HEATS (Shin Getter robo) was stuck in 99. I'm pleasantly surprised that You Get to Burning (nadesico) made it to 18 though.

Somehow I'm not surprised #1 is Evangelion.

Eva #1= yeah!
Slayers #7 = sweet surprise!
Alladin even mentioned in the top 300 = WTF?!

By "disagreed with quite a lot of them," I probably meant around "80% of the list."

For those who care (CattieBrie), the soul eater OP is out.
BTW that music ranking list sucks, Hishoku no Sora was wayy too far down the list.

A lot of things weren't even on the list, so yeah.

To Chumara,
Thank you so much. I found "Resonance" on souleaterfan.com if anyone else wants the full version to the beginning song.

Well since someone mentioned music and alternative forms of Japanese media in club...

I figured it'd probably be a lot easier to do this sort of thing online, since it does save a lot of hassle.

Also, there's too many songs I enjoy for me to consider having a favorite. I'll post some songs later.

hmmm my favs include After Dark by Asian Kung-Fu Generation(Bleach OP), Seishun kyousoukyoku by Sambomaster(Naruto OP), Shissou by Last Alliance(Ouran Host Club ED), and God Knows by Aya Hirano (TMoHS)

after those its pretty random. Things like 'Colors of the Heart', 'Paper Moon', 'Again', 'Rise' and alot of the stuff by M-Flo are songs i frequent.

Most J-music I listen to consists of I've Sound stuff (which really encompasses a ton of stuff), various doujin covers, and game OSTs (I'm looking at you GG and BB).

Btw, just want to throw this out, but Japanese non-animated PVs... suck suck HARD.

I agree on Shissou 100%, but I also liked the Mata Ashita Remix just becuase it was up beat and fun; once I listened to the remix, I got bored with the original. o-o Have you hear the Shissou version where Vic sings it? XD I also like Obsession by See-Saw, the .Hack//Sign OP. Hmmm, Tamaki Nami is a fave of mine just because it's more upbeat, my favorite song has to be My Way. UVERworld is another favorite with a fave song called Colors of the Heart. Any songs that are up beat I'll usually like. Like Rage Beat from Gravitation. XD Oh, Michiyuki from Loveless is a must. o-o I'm also a big Yuki Kajiura fan. >> I just found out that Yuki actually made a song for Pandora Hearts which I actually enjoyed. XD

If I had to name some more favorites I'd say Sakanoue Yosuke who sings Super Drive from Gravitation, Utada Hikaru (>>), and L`Arc~en~Ciel. Does anybody know who sings, Toki no Ito? Whoever it is, I love that song to. XD Yeah, I have a lot of people and songs I love, but we'll stop here. >>
