Switch Hitting (fanmix)
This is my fanmix for sweetpaopuwind 's fic for the jent_bigbang fic Switch Hitting. Here is a link to the fic in question and oh my god seriously; stop whatever you are doing right this second and go and read the fic because it is absolutely exquisite. Before you click on the link, please be aware that prior to creating this fanmix that I was a photoshop virgin :/

orz Just realized this is getting progressively more flail-y. And long. I'll try to keep it under control. >>;
Sotto Kyutto--SMAP~ Such a pretty song~ <3 Works so well once Jin and Kame realize how they feel about each other. x3
This is Hardcore-- ...Ah. THis one. Hmm~ This one was tricky for me. xD Looking at the lyrics, I thought it would fit with the scene where Jin and Kame have sex, but...listening to it, I thought the mood better fit in with the confusion Kame feels as a result of the conversation about the penis festival and the subsequent nights he and Jin spend fooling around, so that's where I put it. I ended up switching the order slightly to do that, putting it before SMAP. ^^; I'd be really interested in hearing your thoughts on this one and seeing if our interpretations are different~
...The last three songs. I really like all of them, which makes me really happy, because I was just telling sou_kiri last night that I think the end of the fic is my favorite part of the whole thing. x3 All Will Be Forgotten is just gorgeous, and Sticking With You... The first time I played it, I lol'd listening to the lyrics, but then... The fact that it starts out kind of silly and then gets more serious/romantic towards the end...I think that's the perfect note on which to end the fic, really. I love it. <3
*deep breath* That was a lot. Sorry for the ridiculously long comment, but I wouldn't have done it if I didn't think you deserved it for putting together such a great, interesting mix. Thank you so much for adding this element of depth to my fic~ <3

lksjdf please do not apologise. This comment is very stream of conscious because I am writing as I read your comment, lol.
And yeah, gotta have some SMAP in there (I am biased because I finally got to see them live last summer :D).
Hm. For me This is Hardcore works both as a song to have sex to, but also about the confusion that their feelings caused? Hm, honestly this song also works well in all of the other intimate sections because of the sensuality of it? I've always found Pulps music this odd mix of sexuality and sensuality? If that makes any sense...
Ahaha, yes, the last three songs were the one's I struggled the most with, but I'd decided that I'm Sticking With You would be the perfect ending to my mix :D
Thank you so, so much for your comments. I do apologise for the artwork--I wasn't kidding when I said that this was my first attempts at using PS! But thank you, and I look forward to rereading your fic :D
