[FST] Walk With the Mighty

Jun 02, 2008 21:46

So I posted an 8059 FST here a while back, and ever since then I've been working on a general KHR soundtrack as well. This took a while, and before anything else, I have to give credit where credit is due: xshoutitloudx and poisontea were amazing help in finding songs for Colonnello, Shamal, and Dino, and I can't thank them enough. ♥

So! On to the music.



Walk With the Mighty: a Katekyou Hitman Reborn! fan soundtrack

I. Daily Life Arc

In This Diary (The Ataris) [download]
Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up
These are the best days of our lives
The only thing that matters is just following your heart
And eventually you'll finally get it right

Zany mafia antics aside, the essence of the Daily Life Arc is simply a bunch of teenage kids running around and doing crazy things together. Too young to think of the dangers up ahead; too young to realize how they'll one day look back on these times with nostalgia.

Reborn - The Hitman (Queen) [download]
I'm the hitman
Stand aside
I'm the hitman
I want your life
Ain't no escaping
Don't run and hide
There goes the neighborhood

Make no mistake, Reborn is one baaaaad mother--(shut your mouth!). He's no-nonsense all the way, and nothing seems to faze him. Don't mess with the best.

Sawada Tsunayoshi - Times Like These (Foo Fighters) [download]
I, I'm a new day rising
I'm a brand new sky to hang
The stars upon tonight
I, I'm a little divided
Do I stay or run away
And leave it all behind?

If KHR has a heart and soul, Tsuna is at its center. This is a kid who is slowly learning to stop running and face the world, terrifying as it is. Step by step, he's learning how to live.

Gokudera Hayato - Right Before Your Eyes (Hoobastank) [download]
When the door shuts, it shuts finally
A new person that I have become
I'll follow my heart to my destiny
The living in fear and the sorrow is done
There will be no more feeling that I’m all alone
I will surround myself with things that help me grow

A lone wolf who's finally found a pack, Gokudera, like Tsuna, is also going through a turnaround of sorts. He's devoted to something now, and in his determination to be worthy of it, he won't let anything hold him back.

Yamamoto Takeshi - Summer Rain (U2) [download]
Just as you find me
Always I will be
A little bit too free
With myself
I lost myself in the summer rain

Open and carefree, Yamamoto is the type of guy who can be prompted to smile by even the simplest things. He is the quintessential Rain Guardian, ever-reliable and content.

Sasagawa Ryohei - It's My Life (Bon Jovi) [download]
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud
It's my life, and it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive

If it's possible to put 110% into everything, Ryohei is that possibility. This is the guy who lives with a perpetual dying will. It's all about living life extremely to the fullest!!

Lambo - The Middle (Jimmy Eat World) [download]
Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out
Or looked down on
Just try your best
Try everything you can
And don't you worry what they tell themselves
When you're away

Lambo can be pretty failtastic at times, but at age five, at least he has an excuse. It's not easy being the youngest guardian, but we know he'll get there eventually--even if he has to wait 10 (or 20) years.

Hibari Kyoya - Defeat You (Smash Mouth) [download]
Born is a human with a kung-fu spine
Equipped with a detector of what's on your mind
You jive, you shuck, you bob, you weave
And when you're down you’ve got something up your sleeve
And you've got it good, as bad as it gets
You make your own incisions that come with regrets
You're in it to win it and make every minute count
You put it all together and dish it out

There's a reason why they call him the strongest guardian. Hibari is the type of person who lives and breathes combat, a force of nature who fights for the sake of it and shows no mercy.

Dino Cavallone - Grenade Jumper (Fall Out Boy) [download]
My heart ticks in beat with these kids that I grew up with
Living like life's going out of style
And you came to watch us play
Like a big shot talent
But at the end of the day
You know where we come from and where we call home

He's not technically Vongola, but as a fellow mafia boss and mentor to Tsuna, in a way Dino is still part of the family. Even as the sometimes-skilled head of one of the strongest mafia families around, he's still down-to-earth and always willing to lend his "little brother" a hand.

Bianchi - Cosmic Dare (Pretty With a Pistol) (The Seatbelts) [download]
Still sittin' pretty with a pistol in hand
Living to love you, will you be my man?
If I beg, if I plead
Will you please, please, please satisfy me
Anything goes in this cosmic dare
Anything goes so take care
Did you feel my heartbeat to your lies
Listen close, sweet love of mine

Her poison cooking makes her one of the deadliest assassins around, but for all that she terrifies people, Bianchi is a simple romantic at heart. Love is a many-splendored thing, and love is what motivates her above all else.

Shamal - Medicine Man (The Hush Sound) [download]
Medicine man, I lay my head in your hands
Medicine man, you will clear my mind
Medicine man, can you heal my body?
Medicine man, can you hear my cry?
I don't want to be the one that you forget
I don't just want to be your regret

Shamal's the type who gives "love doctor" a rather different meaning. He's both an assassin and a healer, but he's a player first and foremost; the kind of guy who just can't get over his love for the fairer sex.

I-Pin - Buttercup (I'm a Supergirl) (Shonen Knife) [download]
You know I'm a super girl
Yes, I'm a punky girl
I never say die
No one can stop me

What can you really say about a five-year-old girl who's sweet and adorable and can kill you with her pinky? She's nearsighted, she's shy, and she just happens to be ranked third out of 52,262 people for being a promising assassin. Cute and deadly.

Colonnello - Combat Baby (Metric) [download]
Combat baby, come back baby
Fight off the lethargy
Don't go quietly
Combat baby
Said you would never give up easy

To be an Arcobaleno means to be one of the strongest, and Colonnello--whose hobbies include training elite soldiers by shooting them with bazookas and punting them off cliffs--definitely fits the bill. Always a vibrant force, even at the very end he refused to go down without a fight.

Miura Haru - Beautiful Stranger (Madonna) [download]
Haven't we met?
You're some kind of beautiful stranger
You could be good for me
I've had a taste for danger
If I'm smart then I'll run away
But I'm not so I guess I'll stay
Heaven forbid, I'll take my chance on a beautiful stranger

Once upon a time, there was a young middle-school girl who was rescued one day by a handsome mafioso, and together they lived happily ever after. Or at least, that's how it is in Haru's world. She doesn't need to daydream about love at first sight--she's found it.

Sasagawa Kyoko - Hand in My Pocket (Alanis Morissette) [download]
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine, fine, fine
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five

Kyoko is the kind of sweet, innocent girl ideally suited to be someone's first crush. Always smiling, always friendly, always looking on the bright side no matter what comes her way.

II. Kokuyou Arc

The Hell Song (Sum 41) [download]
Knowing endless consequences
I feel so useless in this
Get back, step back
And as for me, I can't believe
Part of me won't agree
'Cause I don’t know if it's for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure

The Kokuyou Arc marks the beginning of a transition for both the series and its characters. Suddenly the fun and games have come to a halt. People are getting hurt. And for the first time, Tsuna finds himself having to stand and fight to protect what he holds dear.

Rokudou Mukuro - The Package (A Perfect Circle) [download]
Eye on what I'm after
I don't need another friend
Nod and watch your lips move
If you need me to pretend
Because clever got me this far
Then tricky got me in

Deception may come naturally to Mukuro, but for all that he moves in circles, he's surprisingly single-minded when it comes to his actual goals. He knows what he wants and he goes for it.

Lancia - Your Time Has Come (Audioslave) [download]
I've been wandering sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
Still, I don't know why you're dying
Long before your time has come

The strongest man in Northern Italy has seen--and caused--more than his share of death, and it's taken a toll on him. Thanks to Tsuna, he has a chance to live again, but it's a second chance most will never have, and he will never forget.

III. Varia Arc

Blow Me Away (Breaking Benjamin) [download]
They fall in line one at a time
Ready to play
(I can't see them anyway)
No time to lose, we've got to move
Steady your hand
(I am losing sight again)
Fire your guns, it's time to run
Blow me away

The Varia Arc is plain and simply a good old-fashioned tournament arc, and everything that comes with that. Everyone has their moment in the sun, everyone has their chance to fight. And one by one, they'll see who is the strongest.

XANXUS - King Nothing (Metallica) [download]
And it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name

From childhood, Xanxus was taught that Vongola was his birthright, and he didn't take too kindly to finding out all of it was a lie. To him, the anger is justified, and the position of Tenth Boss is something he won't be denied, no matter the cost.

Superbi Squalo - In the Belly of a Shark (Gallows) [download]
So here I lie
In the belly of a shark
So fucking cold and so fucking dark

The obvious references aside, as a ruthless predator of a swordsman who thrives on blood and being the strongest, Squalo is pretty well suited to a song like this.

Belphegor - You Know My Name (Chris Cornell) [download]
Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize; it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins

The Prince is pretty single-minded when it comes to combat, a genius killer who delights in the thrill of it. He never seems to doubt that he'll win--and most of the time he's right.

Mammon - Head Like a Hole (Nine Inch Nails) [download]
God money, I'll do anything for you
God money, just tell me what you want me to
God money, nail me up against the wall
God money don't want everything; he wants it all

Of all the Arcobaleno, Viper has struggled the most against the curse that binds them. He's the type that refuses to give up control of his own destiny; he keeps his pacifier wrapped in chains, and he hoards money so that he'll always have power. The rest can do as they like, but he won't give in so easily.

Chrome Dokuro - All Around Me (Flyleaf) [download]
I'm alive, I'm alive
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing

Mukuro is always with Chrome and Chrome is always with Mukuro. Because of him, she has another chance at life, and she will never again be alone.

IV. Future Arc

It's Not My Time (3 Doors Down) [download]
I look ahead to all the plans that we made
And the dreams that we had
I'm in a world that tries to take them away
Oh, but I'm taking them back

As the series takes an unprecedented dark turn, the Future Arc sees the Vongola confront their most desperate situation yet. And yet, even as they struggle for survival in a world where everything they've known is dying around them, they still have hope--and they won't go down without a fight.

Lal Mirch - Hang On (Seether) [download]
My selfish enemy
Still has the best of me
Empty and feeling numb
Wish I could take it away

Her lover, her fellow Arcobaleno; Lal's lost more than most to the Millefiore, and she's not immune to the grief. Still, she fights on, even when there doesn't seem to be much left worth fighting for.

Byakuran - The Trickster (Radiohead) [download]
Long white gloves
Police check carefully
Escaped from the zoo
The perfect child facsimile is
Talking out the world

On the surface, Byakuran is all smiles. Underneath, he's ruthless, the cool architect of what is essentially a genocide. Even though we still haven't learned about his true motivations, one thing is certain--he's not to be trusted.

Irie Shouichi - No More Sorrow (Linkin Park) [download]
No, no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced

While we don't yet know exactly what Shouichi's grudge against the Vongola is, we know it's big, and we know it's serious. He's bringing about their demise now, and in his eyes it's totally justified.

V. Vongola

The Red Summer Sun (Third Eye Blind) [download]
I've seen car wreck kids
Walk away from it
I laughed from within
I know these days will end
Been a long time, been a long time
To walk with the mighty

The new generation of the Vongola family is still coming into its own, but already they are a force to be reckoned with. Anything is possible; odds are meaningless. "Things that can't be translated into numbers... that's where their strength lies."

These days won't last forever... but while they do, it'll be a wild ride.
