My favorite Japanese music right about now
Music UPLOAD DESU~!
I'mma start attaching that sucker to everything from now on, heh heh... XD
"No Boy No Cry" - Naruto opening theme
:: Download with Megaupload.
Thoughts: ROCK. ROCK ROCK ROCK. ANGST. AND MORE ROCK. This song is full of so much energy and rocking. It ...rocks. It's even more cool if you know the lyrics. "Boy, hear me out... humans aren't anything special... we don't need a tomorrow or anything..." 0o0 SO ANGST-AWESOME-ROCK-ISH. XD
"Nakushita kotoba" - No Regret Life (Naruto ending theme)
:: Download with Megaupload.
Thoughts: Rock anthem/ballad. Also angsty, but like many angsty songs, very pretty and melodic. In general, pretty generic allegro rock beat and vocals. But I like. :3 Appeals to the sid eof me that likes rock ballads and stuff, so there ya go.
"KOISURU OTOME" - Ikimono ga kari
:: Download with Megaupload.
Thoughts: I am in love with this band's lead singer girl person's voice. It might not be for everyone, but I personally think she's got just the most awesome tone. :D This is the band that did Bleach's ending theme "Hanabi", by the by. A little slower than that song, but it's got the same simple rock/pop vibe goin' on. And, I just, love. her voice. Yeah.
"Around the World" - Monkey Majik
:: Download with Megaupload.
Thoughts: Here's the band I was talking about that's got two Canadian brothers as the lead singers and two Japanese guys for the drums and bass. This song is a great intro to their music especially since it's half-English and half-Japanese. :D He sounds good singing either language, sweet! But, yeah, the genre is kinda rock-with-dance-beat and stuff. Maybe ska? Possibly? Just in general, very feel-good.
"INNOCENT SORROW" - abingdon boys school (D.Gray-man opening theme)
:: Download with Megaupload.
Thoughts: So, anyone know what happened to T.M.Revolution? ^o^;;; Their singer's, like, in this band. ...Eh? Anyway, pretty much the same fast-paced, driving-beat-rock kind of stuff from lots of other T.M. stuff. Lots of fun techno effects in the background, but with drums and electric guitar and crazy vibrato-voice driving it. :D
"Movin !!" - Takacha (Bleach ending theme)
:: Download with Megaupload.
Thoughts: This is just plain adorable, and very feel-good and groovy and awesome. :D It's all beep-boop-itty and hip hop and really hard to not tap your foot to, seriously. "I dun' wanna loose, dun' wanna cry, 'cause I just wanna laugh..."
"Groovin' magic" - ROUND TABLE feat. Nino (Diebuster opening theme)
:: Download with Megaupload.
Thoughts: YET MORE feel-good music. XD If you know the opening themes to "Chobits" or ".hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet" or "Welcome to the NHK!", then you know how these guys sound. If not, I'll say it's uber-cutesy, but not quite as hyper as other sugar-y Japanese female singers. She's actually the most normal-sounding nasal-style singer I've heard. I approve. She's just so casual-sounding or something. And then you have the background, which is ADORABLE orchestra and groovy guitar and drums. Another definite toe-tapper.
"Karma" - Bump of Chicken (Tales of Abyss opening theme)
:: Download with Megaupload.
Thoughts: Great for fans of the band, and a good song to listen to if you're curious what they're like. They're kinda like a happier, peppier version of a lot of America's emo bands, I think. XD Does that make sense? No, I didn't think so. Basically, same instrumentation as those bands, but no emo. Of course, this song has some random stuff stuck in there since it's for a video game release; not all their songs have bells and xylophone in them. ^o^;;;
