2) Reply with a comment to this entry; I'll give you a letter of the alphabet, and you find five songs on your iPod/playlist that start with that letter and post them to your journal.
Ne-chan bestowed upon me the letter "G", so here I go:
1) Garasu Dama - L'Arc~en~Ciel I wonder if there's a Laruku song in my iPod for every letter of the alphabet...except "Q"....and maybe "X". Anyway, it's the best song off of Heavenly, so good choice.
2) Get Over - Sowelu One of the few songs I can stand by Sowelu. And her vocals are grating in some spots here, too. But it has its moments.
3) Get On! - m-flo loves Crystal Kay Funky, almost salsa-like beat with tri-lingual rapping by VERBAL. m-flo does it again.
4) GIRL TALK - Namie Amuro Part of Namie's new (i.e., within the last two years) hip-hop style...I just like the part when she says her girlfriends dish with each other "Sex in the City mitai ni". American TV is everywhere, baby.
5) gimme a guitar - S.O.A.P. One of about three SOAP tracks in my playlist; I've heard it many times and I still don't understand about 85% of the Engrish. Poor Ken.
I think I'm supposed to upload the files for those, aren't I? Oops. Well, I don't have them here anyway, but ask if there's anything you want and I'll try to oblige.
I'm a day late, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY, katana28!!!! (and of course, to Z as well.....)
