Atashi sanjou! Hoshi's Introduction! Amy Grant, Barenaked Ladies, No Doubt, Fiona Apple, Etc.

Jul 08, 2008 14:36

Hey guys! I've arrived :3 I'm Hoshi the long-time watcher, but now new uploader of the group :D I've been friends with the head of the group, Megumi, for over 10 years. I'm one of her longest running friends, and the only one who I think can beat me is Ceri XD Who's the past member and namer of the group (I'm sure there's others who can beat me IRL XD)

Anywho, Megumi agreed to let me be a new member of the group, so here I am! (Bad Den-O jokes aside XD) And I've come with goods!

I decided I'd upload some personal meaning songs for my introduction. Blessed, their mostly English, but I highly doubt you people will mind XD Most of my J-Pop is from these wonderful ladies, but guess what! I have most of the archives! So if you ever need something from a past post- feel free to request it!

I do have a lot of American/English Music, though god bless we don't have shitloads of American music laying around the house.

But here are some of my personal favorite songs :3 Uploaded on Mediafire.

Artist: Amy Grant
Title: Hats
Album: Heart in Motion
Language: English
Length: 4:09
Size: 2.86 MB
I use to listen to Amy Grant when I was little, and granted I'm not one for Christian Music, her songs aren't very close to what you'd think of for her genre. This one is one of my favorites because of how silly it is :3 It's your typical 90s genre song, but it's unique, as it's mostly done with brass, drums and guitar. It's very minimal, but there's a lot of trumpet, and it's really good for how old it is - 1991!

Album: Stunt

The saddest part about this song is the fact I've memorized ALL of the lyrics. This song doesn't need to have much of a description if you listened to the radio in the mid-90s but!- This song's VERY FAST and the lyrics FLY by. It's horridly addictive though XD It's really hard to understand sometimes XD BUT! SALOR MOON REFRENCE~! Look for it X3

Ah- another song you should of heard in the mid-90s :3 I'm a tremendous fan of No Doubt, and this is probably their most famous song, and an anthem of girls world-wide :3 It's got its classic Tom Dumont guitar riff that WILL get stuck in your head. It's really one of their most rock-y songs they have, and one of the most classic 90s Pop songs of the era.

Album: When the Pawn

One of the classic singer-songwriter girls. Yet another song I've memorized. Fiona Apple's a well-but-not-to-well known of the singer-songwriters of the 90s and she's one of my favorites <3 I originally found this on the old Napster, but this is off my album I finally found :3 It's very slow, but very driven in a slow way. It's got a steady piano (Played by Apple herself) leading the entire song, backed up by soft trumpets and drums. As most of her songs, there's no guitar. I love her lyrics, as they're great for anyone who's had to deal with a stupid boy.

Artist: ATC
Title: Around The World (La La La La La)
Album: Around The World (La La La La La)
Language: English
Length: 3:36
Size: 4.97 MB
A most loved techno song :3 Again from the 90s, this one was REALLY popular as the techno wave just was starting to hit. It's most renowned for it's constant bell beat, and the bells run constantly through out the song, interchanging different pitches throughout. It's mostly drums and bells, but it's blended in awesome simplicity. These lyrics WILL get stuck in your head!

Artist: Ian van Dahl
Title: Castles In The Sky [Radio Mix]
Album: Castles in the Sky [Single]
Language: English
Length: 3:45
Size: 3.44 MB
One of my all-time favorite Trance songs :3 Back when Trance hadn't been coined yet! This one has one of those eerie melodies that just carries you off into another world. The synth has a driving melodic beat and (what I think is) a vocal chorus sings softly in the background. I also love the metaphor of the song, you can really apply it to anything. I like to think it applies to earth in space :3

Artist: Murray Head
Title: One Night In Bangkok
Album: One Night In Bangkok [Single]
Language: English
Length: 3:51
Size: 4.42 MB
One of my old obsessions I didn't find until recently XD I use to always squee when this came on when Jack FM use to be Star Radio. It's a classic track from the Chess musical. It's got a catchy drum beat and all sorts of classic asian instruments running ALL through it. It's harrowingly addictive.

Artist: Daft Punk
Title: Digital Love
Album: Discovery
Language: English
Length: 4:58
Size: 4.56 MB
The track after Aerodynamic that Windsong posted. This is by the French duo Daft Punk, this album became Leiji Matsumoto's Interstella 5555. This is the third track of the album, where Shep dreams of Stella. This originally came to me on a former friend's CD she gave me. I didn't find out what it was until I heard it on my friend Joe's PSP in his car XD It's got a strong guitar riff running the whole song, and all of the song is synthed so strongly, hell if I can figure out the rest XD This is as addictive as Aerodynamic, and rightfully so. It's the happy love song of the album :3

Album: Best of Trance Vol 4
Language: English
Length: 2:58

One of my favorites out of my early expeditions of trying to find Trance music. Ian Van Dahl again, and my favorite of the first Trance album I ever found. It's got a driving organ synth driving most of the song. Sadly It's insanely short D:

Artist: Gnarls Barkley
Title: Crazy
Album: St. Elsewhere
Language: English
Length: 2:57
Size: 2.71 MB
Ah, an anthem for anyone who knows the true meaning of "Crazy". I love this song like no one should, because it's got such a meaning of what the definition of Crazy really is. It's got a really smooth rhythm of synchronized guitar and drums running consistently all through the song, and makes the song all the more fun. This one's fun to sing, and you'll love it stuck in your head :D

Artist: Gwen Stefani
Title: Fluorescent
Album: The Sweet Escape
Language: English
Length: 4:17
Size: 3.94 MB
Gwen Stefani's music is kind of hit-and-miss, especially her second album "The Sweet Escape", which has a lot of crap on it. But this is one of it's Gems. It's got a nice beat running it, and it got lots of different 80s style keyboards alternating through the song. Plus! Gwen's Awesome voice! It makes me really wish I had a love this good D:

Artist: Peach Hips
Title: Koisuru Otome wa Makenai
Album: PC Engine Single
Language: Japanese
Length: 4:57
Size: 4.54 MB
And to top it off, a Sailor Moon song! Probably one you've NEVER heard! It's from the PC Engine game from Japan, and I encoded it to mp3 just for you guys :3 It's your classic Sailor Moon song, but if you look up the lyrics they're the most genkai and girly lyrics in Sailor Moon fandom I think XD It's sure to be running though your head so much you have to hear it again and again XD I had this on repeat for a good few days when I first discovered it. IT'S THAT ADDICTIVE.

I'm still working on getting my playlist ready, plus, I need a place to host it D:! But if you want anything from the old requests, I'm likely to have it. Plus, If you want anything that might be out of my father's CD collection (pics posted above XD), feel free. It's full of old Rock and Jazz and whatnot. Oh, we have all of the existing Frank Zappa albums, too. Feel free to request, I may even look it up if we don't have it :3
