Music Update
It's been too long since I updated a music list. :P This list is already about a week or more out of date, but I still want to post it. Given the funk that I was in at the time of my last music posting, I decided to make a "happy" playlist of songs that kept me upbeat and wouldn't fail to make me smile. With Japanese songs, I don't always read the lyrics/translations, and just go with the feel of the song. I know that's a discredit to Ruki and the others who write such awesome lyics, but until I learn more Japanese it's going to be based more on sound than story, unfortunately.
Anyway, here's my top songs:
Black Cherry by Acid Black Cherry-- Yaaaaaasssssuuuuuu. <3 Some songs are forever linked with the video images in my mind and this is one of them. Also, remember my indecision on my "crush list" between Nao and Shinji? Well, they're both kicked to the curb and Yasu is SO ON this list. But, singer aside, I love this song with it's jazzy rock and raunchy lyrics (yeah, checked 'em on this one!!) Dave also likes this song a lot, and uses it to practice picking out English mixed in with Japanese. I could babble about my love for this song forever.
Cubic'「L/R」ock by Ayabie-- This is one that I saw the PV for first, and it was SO CUTE. I hadn't ever listened to Ayabie before, but really liked this album when i heard it. Which leads me to...
Ai no uta also by Ayabie-- Why I like this but can't stomach Jpop...I have no explanation for it. But this has got to be the fluffiest happiest giddy-with-love song ever.
Regret by the Gazette-- I know Ruki, so I know that they lyrics to this don't match the music, tone wise. But still it's on my happy list for the reason above. And I did just look at the lyrics, and dang if I didn't miss the English bits, and put in English for some of the Japanese. *fail*
Paradise Lost by Ruvie--I like Ruvie a lot, though I don't know much about them. I don't have the lyics to this, so I don't know what's going on. But it sounds kinda hopeful and I LIKE IT.
Caramel by SID-- Hee. This song is so nice and mellow, sweet and comforting. Just like caramel. <3
Credit goes to silvery_night for the Ayabie and probably the Ruvie. I'm not sure where I picked up the others. >_>
