2008/01/28 MP3 Post
These are the sample mp3 for 2008/01/28. If you like them, buy a CD and support the original artist! The sound quality will be much better and you get the CD booklets and more songs if you buy the CDs. Anyway, these songs are my recent favorites. I’ve been listening to them alot.
Title: above the clouds
Artist: Bonnie Pink
Album: above the clouds
Series: Unknown
Download: MediaFire|SendSpace
Rating: 4/5 stars. It’s a very unique song… I’m not really quite sure how to describe it, but it’s nice.
Title: Agape
Artist: Ogata Megumi
Album: Animegu.
Series: Unknown
Download: MediaFire|SendSpace
Rating: 5/5 stars. This is a very cute song. The two parts flow together and apart like the waves of the sea and the voice is very cute. I’m still trying to figure out the title: does it mean agape as in “to stand there with your mouth open in shock like an idiot” or agape as in the Greek word for unconditional Divine love? I’m thinking that it’s the latter, but I’m not sure… how many Japanese songwriters study ancient Greek? Anyway, this song is adorable and catchy. It’s one of Ogata’s remixes from her new Animegu CD. I got the CD from http://singalong.astralromance.com/.
Title: Beautiful World
Artist: Utada Hikaru
Album: Beautiful World/Kiss & Cry
Series: Evangelion Rebirth
Download: SendSpace
Rating: 5/5 stars. This is one of Utada’s fast-paced songs in the style of “Passion.” It’s very dancable…
Title: Believe in Heaven
Artist: Katsuhiko Kawamoto (Deidara’s seiyuu! Yay!)
Album: Unknown
Series: Unknown
Download: SendSpace
Rating: 4/5 stars. This is a great song, but one of its real selling points is that the guy who sings it is Deidara’s Japanese voice actor. Even if that were not so, however, it’s still a great song.
Title: Danzai no Hana ~Guilty Sky~
Artist: Riyu Kosaka;
Album: Danzai no Hana ~Guilty Sky~ Single

Title: Inori ~You Raise Me Up~
Artist: LENA PARK
Album:
Series: Romeo x Juliet
Download: SendSpace
Rating: 5/5 stars. This is a very moving song. It’s a cover of a song by Josh Groban, by the way.
Title: romanesque
Artist: FictionJunction YUUKA
Album: El Cazador-romanesque
Series: El Cazador
Download: SendSpace
Rating: 4/5 stars. This is a fast-paced song that reminds me of something that 19th century Spaniards would have used as a dance song. It definitely has a Spanish influence. The composer and singer is Kajiura Yuki, whose stage name is FictionJunction Yuuka.
Title: Synchronicity
Artist: Makino Yui (Sakura’s seiyuu)
Album: Synchronicity
Series: Tsubasa Tokyo Revelations
Download: SendSpace
Rating: 4/5 stars. This is a cute and passionate song sung by Sakura’s seiyuu from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle.
Title: undelete
Artist: Mami Kawada
Album: Baldr Force EXE Resolution-Face of Fact -RESOLUTION ver.- / undelete
Series: Baldr Force EXE Resolution-Face of Fact
Download: SendSpace
Rating: 4/5 stars. This is a hopeful song and a very beautiful one. It’s the sort of song that they would play in an anime when a character everyone thought was dead turns out to be alive and is reunited with their loved ones. It’s calm but cheerful.
