Brought to you by the letter R
1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List (and upload, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.
ladysisyphus gave me R, so, here we go.
"Red Helmet's Extermination" - Masami Ueda
Okami is a fabulous game, with fabulous music, and if you have a PS2 or a Wii and enjoy Zelda-type RPGs, originality and creativity, and/or Japanese folklore, then you owe it to yourself to play this game, because there is absolutely nothing else like it. This is the theme from one of the major boss fights.
"Running One" - Tykwer, Klimek & Heil
I saw "Lola Rennt" / "Run Lola, Run" years and years ago, and very much enjoyed it (and have since inflicted it on my family as well). It's a really cool, original film with a techno soundtrack as only the Germans can do it. And if you've seen JJ Abram's "Alias", then watching it'll probably make you go, "hey..."
"Ring" - Yoko Kanno
Back n eight grade, when I was jsut starting to get into anime, my friends showed me a six episode OVA called "Please Save my Earth". The anime hasn't really stuck with me, but some of the music has. Very evocative and kind of ethereal.
"Red Right Hand" - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
laylah sent this to me as a song for Kimberly from FMA, years ago. As you can see, the focus has shifted somewhat, but it's still an awesome song all around. (It was used in 'Hellboy', too, which just serves as proof that that movie rocks).
"Rose and Release" - Masami Okui
The ending theme for the final episode of Utena. I tear up every time I listen to this (more for its context than the song itself, but still). I love that show.
Feel free to take any / all of these; if any of the links fail you, let me know.
Also, I have a new haircut!
The only downside of short haircuts like these is that they remind me just how much I resemble my brothers. XP
