RULES!
I'm back. And I bring mp3's oO;
by request:
Name: Seeds
Artist: Lastier
CD: Singles Collection
Series: Miami Guns
Comment: This song was used as the opening for the Miami Guns anime (without Lastier, I'd have never even known the name of this series oO; ), but it's quite different from the
TV-Version. The one they used for the opening is a lot more pop-ish, while this CD-version brings the usual Lastier-rock-Sound. Basically, I like it very much. It's upbeat and has a very cool melody and refrain. Very good song ^.^

Name: Speed
Artist: Ken
CD: Speed (single)
Comment: Very new Solo-Stuff by Laruku's Guitarist Ken. While I found his singing during several occasions (Laruku-lives, TV-shows) quite strange, I was very positively surprised by this one. The song itself has a quite interesting atmosphere - it's not extremely dark, but it's also absolutely not lighhearted. Sorry, I can't describe it ^^' The point is, that it's more or less unusal, but very good. And of course, the guitar-work is brilliant ^_^
[DOWNLOAD] Name: Mission
Artist: Hyde
CD: Faith
Comment: A nice song that somehow stands a bit away from the other songs on this album, because it sounds quite pop-ish. A lot of guitar-stuff, also with an acoustic one and some kind of "make music, not war"-message. I like it very much, because it can lighten your mood up, I think, but what I fancy most on this is Hyde's wonderful singing. There are several passages in the refrain where he holds his voice fantastically on one tone and I just think "wow". It's really stunning.
[DOWNALOAD] Name: Driver's High
Artist: L'Arc~en~Ciel
CD: Ark
Series: GTO - Great Teacher Onizuka
Comment: Somehow I've grown a likening to this. It's upbeat and also quite cute, I think and the PV, in which Laruku rob a bank in America and flee over the highways is also very entertaining. I also think that it's a very good song to play live, because I saw on the Awake live DVD that it seems to be quite popular in Japan and also gives opportunities for the audience to have their part in it. I think it's really fun to watch this part on the DVD and maybe that's the reason I began to like it quite much X3
[DOWNLOAD] Name: My Dear (live)
Artist: L'Arc~en~Ciel
CD: Awake Tour 2005 [DVD]
Comment: When I uploaded the studio-version of this a while ago, I already talked about how good the live version from last year's Awake Tour is, and so now here's the live-version ^.^ The part that is, in the studio version, done by computers, is here replaced by a piano, which gives the song a totally new sound. A very good sound indeed. This song also has a part with Hyde holding his voice for a relatively long time and it's really impressing how well he does this. Personally, I sometimes try to and I'm always almost dieing x_X" But it's absolutely wonderful to listen to this on your parents' sound-system adjusted to concert-DVDs *hugs DVD*... X3~
[DOWNLOAD] Name: Heaven's Drive 2005
Artist: P'UNK~en~Ciel
CD: Jyoujyoushi (single)
Comment: A new-recorded and very much more punk-ish version of Laruku's good old Heaven's Drive and honestly, I prefer this over the original version. Somehow I don't really know what to tell about it, I think you have to listen youself. It's very different from the original Heaven's Drive, but this new, fresh sound makes it almost a completely new song.
[DOWNLOAD] Name: Tiefer
Artist: Fred Röttcher
CD: Pretty Cure Soundtrack
Series: Pretty Cure (German Version)
Comment: This song was used on the German Soundtrack for the Pretty Cure anime, but somehow I don't really know if it fits the series. I mean, I'm not interested in Pretty Cure, but it seems too cute and candy-like to me for such a song. Anyway, I do like it quite much. It has quite a dark atmosphere and the lyrics also fit to this. Fred's singing is also very good, but I never expected anything else XD Honestly, this is more or less the only song from this Soundtrack I really like... ^^'
[DOWNLOAD] Name: Trigger
Artist: The Rasmus
CD: Hide from the Sun
Comment: First off, I do have Hide form the Sun, but on my version, it's not there. Some kind of bonus-track for other countries? ^^' Anyway, this song is quite short, but very Rasmus-like, meaning a lot of quitars and great sound. Komi really likes it a lot ^^
[DOWNLOAD] Name: Nosferatu
Artist: Psycho le Cému
CD: Epilogue ~kataritsugaeru monogatari~
Comment: From PLC's last album T_T It's a very good song with a lot of guitars and stuff. Although it's not the most lighthearted song, it's very upbeat and fun to listen to, I think. It's also lacking of this classical up-and-down- scheme most songs generally employ and so it has more or less the same speed all the time, no matter if there's a stanza, refrain or whatever, what makes the whole song extremely fast. Very well done.
[DOWNLOAD] Name: Tsuki no Curse
Artist: Okina Reika
CD: Loveless TV Animation Soundtrack
Series: Loveless
Comment: Wow, a song by a female in this row. Quite unusual for me XD But I must say, I like it a lot ^-^It has very nice lyrics and a very cool, in some parts not absolutely normal sound. I especially like the chior, which is especially audible during the brigde. The only thing that bothered me while watching Loveless was the point that the opening itself contains a lot of in-series-sequences, while I think they better could have made more sequences exclusively for the opening, like it is the case for most other anime. Still, that luckily doesn't change the good song ^.^
[DOWNLOAD] Name: Destination
Artist: Janne da Arc
CD: Furimukeba.../Destination (single)
Comment: Another quite fast song. The beginning, which is alsomore or less repeated on several other points during the song, sounds quite different from the rest of the song, but on the other hand, first to it and makes it a quite unique piece.
[DOWNLOAD] Name: Hedgehog Peter
Artist: Morikubo Shoutarou
CD: Zui
Comment: This song is, imho, very innovative. Morikubo tells the tale of a hedgehog named Peter, who fell in love with a female hedgehog by the name of Morisette. Without telling the whole story here, it's quite strange and has a somehow sad ending. You can find the lyrics
here, btw. However, the song itself is quite dark and kinda evil and Morikubo-san uses a voice fitting to this. It's kinda scary o_O But very cool ^^
