insanenekoI'm sharing more songs by Utada Hikaru because everyone should experience her wonderful music. These are again random samplings:
Sakura Drops
[Lyrics and translation]
I associate this song very closely with a PoT fanfic of the same name...^_^;
Deep River
[Lyrics and translation]
I hesitated to include this because![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
petronia included it in her Mirage of Blaze FST, but...it's such a nice song. Oh, and another thing, I am not that impressed with the translation, but...it's such a nice song...really, it is.
Distance
Final Distance
[Lyrics and translation]
The two songs have the same lyrics and melody, but are two very different songs. Distance came out first...listen to that one first, then listen to Final Distance. Oh, boy, are they different. :D
As I was digging through my music collection, I listened to the following two Onitsuka Chihiro songs, and they have now been assigned as Mirage of Blaze Naoe songs in my head. ^_^; Regardless of any perceived association with the story, they are both lovely ballads, and the singer has a very nice voice.
Infection by Onitsuka Chihiro (.m4a song)
[Lyrics and translation]
Just plain Naoe. Poor boy. You can't escape. You must keep pursuing your glittering master/tempter/beloved/tormentor...
This foolish disease of mine
Only grows worse and worse
The fragments of my heart, exploded and strewn
The fragments, the fragments, all around me
Since when have I
Become this weak?
Ryuuseigun by Onitsuka Chihiro (.m4a song)
[Lyrics and translation]
First off, I want to say I absolutely love this song. I was very obsessed with it a couple of weeks back..I thought this reflected Naoe's plaintive insistence that all he needs is Takaya. He tells Takaya, who keeps trying to run away so that he doesn't kill Naoe with his poisoned body, that he needs Takaya's presence to exist. I love the passion with which he tells Takaya that even if his poison does kill him, he'll just possess another body...he'll go through every body on earth in order to be with him because without him the world is meaningless...
Your calling voice always turns into sadness
Just proving to me that I am this ugly
But I still need it
If I can't touch you, it's the same as if I didn't exist
And I really should get back to doing all the things I should be doing...

Date: 2005-02-05 03:49 pm (UTC)Listening to the first one... lovely.
But the 2nd one is not working again. A problem uploading to YSI most probably as it "renamed" the file and the result is only a 2kb file.

Date: 2005-02-05 05:12 pm (UTC)Of course the words are probably depressing as all hell if they put Naoe to mind :)

Date: 2005-02-05 05:18 pm (UTC)The 2nd one is very very good too... I just listened to it while playing at snipping RX 24... the music fitted the mood of Ayato's transformation ^_^

Date: 2005-02-05 05:27 pm (UTC)Hm, I wonder if the words will fit...

Date: 2005-02-05 05:32 pm (UTC)I'm not using it.
It's just that it was playing while I'm cleaning up the last few episodes I need to clip before I can start working on Eternally ^_^
And the music was slow and lyrical and it fitted the scenes I was looking at while snipping, that is all :)

Date: 2005-02-05 05:35 pm (UTC)So you're almost done with clipping? You've been doing it for a while...

Date: 2005-02-05 05:37 pm (UTC)Now will be the fun of looking at them... and the lyrics... and see what I want to say.
Ah for people who thought it was as easy as putting nice clips together. That could be done very easily with the "movie generator function" if that was what I wanted... nice images with nice music.
Unfortunately? I have this weird idea that one can express either a story or a mood through images & music :)
