I am totally capable of closing my HTML tags properly.
Sorry this took so long -- I've been busy with work and things.
Requests
Song: Daisy to Croissant to Waltz
Game/Anime/etc.: N/A
Type: J-pop
Artist: Orikasa Ai
Comments: As the title suggests, it's a waltz-styled song. And... I'm really not sure what else to say about it. Uh... it's pretty?
Download!
Song: Kaze ni Naru Made
Game/Anime/etc.: Metal Fighter Miku
Type: OP
Artist: Momoda Kayoko
Comments: Cheerful slightly-rockish pop; fairly catchy. It's got kind of a generic "90s anime theme" sound to it, but it's not a bad song by any means.

Song: Melodie [Salva Nos ver.]
Game/Anime/etc.: Noir
Type:
Artist: Kajiura Yuki
Comments: It starts out with a keyboard (?) version of the Melodie, er, melody, then adds violins. About halfway through Salva Nos comes in, shortly followed by a choir singing lyrics which I'm pretty sure are English to the tune of Melodie. It's pretty typical Kajiura Yuki techno-meets-classical fare overall, but hey, it works.

Song: Moonlight Densetsu
Game/Anime/etc.: ... uh.
Type: Anime/cover
Artist: Hayami Shou
Comments: No, Hayami Shou was not actually in Sailor Moon. No, I don't know where this is from. Probably a radio show, I'm guessing. I'm not really sure how to describe it, beyond that it's Moonlight Densetsu as sung by Hayami Shou. What more do you need, really?

Song: Mrs. Robinson
Game/Anime/etc.: N/A
Type: J-pop/cover
Artist: Takano Urara
Comments: I remembered this as being painfully Engrishy with a weird arrangement that really didn't work for me, but listening to it again, it's not so bad. It doesn't do anything too new with the song, I don't think (though it's been a while since I've heard the original), and it doesn't seem to suit Takano Urara's voice very well, but it's decent.

Song: Tabikounen Sora e
Game/Anime/etc.: N/A
Type: J-pop
Artist: tiaraway
Comments: Upbeat and poppy without being cutesy. It's pleasant to listen to, but generic, and leaves little in the way of a lasting impression.

My Picks
Song: Doshaburi LONELY HEART
Game/Anime/etc.: Harukanaru Toki no Naka de ~Mai Hitoyo~
Type: Tenma song
Artist: Seki Tomokazu
Comments: Fast, rockish song. I don't know what it is about this song that makes me love it so much more than any of the similar songs I have, but for some reason I do. Also, it's good for driving very fast to. Particularly at night and/or in the rain (not that I encourage such reckless behavior, and I'd certainly never do it myself).

Song: Yorokobi no Uta / Watashi no Aozora (a capella)
Game/Anime/etc.: Sakura Taisen
Type:
Artist: Teikoku Kagekidan (plus Orikasa Ai)
Comments: From a live show, so the quality isn't great, but the song itself is lovely. It starts off with a slow bit to the tune of the Ode to Joy (why, I have no idea -- it's a bit odd but at least it sounds nice), and then goes into an a capella version of Watashi no Aozora (the ED of the original OVA). The girls (or women, I suppose -- they're nothing like as young as the characters they play) harmonize very well, and the arrangement is very nice and... basically I love this song.

As always, requests are open; my list is here. One request per customer, please request a specific song (not "anything by ____" or "anything from ____"), I will only take the first six (6) requests. Please comment with your requests on this post and not any other.
Jesus, people, I have six requests already. I had six within a day of posting this. You can stop now and, you know, wait for the next rotation.
