Image Songs?

[kaji]

Also known as evidence of my unhealthy obsession with Bleach. See, the characters had songs assigned. I was one of the ones who spent hours trying to figure out what they meant, besides that Kubo-sama has really weird music taste.

So, without further ado,I shall post my list.If you want the lyrics, email me, but I can't therwise get them to you without killing my bandwith, and thus occuring the wrath of the rest of the family. I would like to know how they fit character-wise, being a geek that way. ^.~

Feel free to post your suggestions! The only guidline is to pick a song you think fits! It can be for a specific character, a pairing, or heck, even the whole comic.

Let the geekery begin.

---

Oro- 'For You'- BNL
Drew-'Dive to Blue'- L'Arc~En~Ciel
Ben- 'I'm Too Sexy'-Right Said Fred 'Misfits'-Third Eye Blind
Fei-'D-Technolife'-UNVERWORLD
Alice-'Apocalypse Please'-Muse
Anna-'Pinch Me'- BNL
~Pairings~

Ben/Drew- 'For Real'-Tokuyama Hidenori
Fei/Oro-'Falling for the First Time'-BNL

and, finally

DIVE-'Tightrope'-Charcoal Filter

-----------

This is obviously not a complete list. Feel free to add people/pairings, or suggest different songs. Remember, only Faye's word is law here. The rest of us get to be flexible. =D;

to get the lyrics, send a message to kajichan*gmail.com, after replacing the '*' with '@'. I'll try to be prompt in sending them, but I'm not the best at that. ^^; if I haven't in a couple days, feel free to poke me here.

I do not know any of these songs D:. Oh, well.

I will, however, say that I have listened to Ishida's bizarre "Idioteque" image song, and didn't understand how it related to him. The last time I checked, he wasn't a paranoid schizophrenic. Uh... on the other hand, I'm sure he would want the women and children to go first.

Anyways, I guess a lot of anime have image songs for their characters. Tao Ren had like... three. If you ever want to hear Paku Romi/Fullmetal/Ren/Ueki/Katsushiro singing something that sounds like it takes place in a nightclub and scantily clad, Muge would probably be the best to listen to, though :D;;.

On a somewhat related note, I finally realized I could put the image songs on the cast info page up on my school webspace D:, as seen below:
people.brandeis.edu/~amoon/image-songs/

Anyways, you're going to have to deal with an incomplete lyrics list.
Ringo Urami Uta (Awaya Ringo version)* : web.pitas.com/torturess/ringo_urami_uta.html
Alive (Raiko)**: www.animelyrics.com/anime/naruto/alive.htm
Sundance Kid (Kent): www.kent.uk.freeuk.com/music/translations/vapen/sundance.htm

* There's another version by Hayashibara Megumi, but I don't like that one as much.
** These lyrics are a little sketchy.

Anyways, I'm always interested to know what people suggest for the characters. I don't listen to a whole lot of music, so there are probably better songs out there than the ones I picked out :P

Yes. Well. Actually, it makes sense at around 3 am after listening to it for the 347th time in a row, but I can't recall why. But, hey, I like the song, so it works. ^^

Wait...Romi Paku--wait what? Strip clubs with Hitsugaya? What? WHERE?

Your haven't heard any of these? SAD. *makes note to find way to send all of them.* Heard of the bands, at least? O.O

...*squees on songs, but cannot convince to save on compy. D=*

[kaji]

gah, double post. ;_;

.....I cannot puzzle Ben's song out, and it seems REALLY like it should be obvious.

....and I just like Fei's in general. *squees* Reminds me of muse, and that makes me a happy Kaji.

[Faye]

I've heard of L'Arc and Third Eye Blind. I have no idea who UNVERWORLD and BNL are. It's possible I've heard something by Tokuyama Hidenori and not known it, if he did any anime songs.

Anyways, uh... I'll upload Muge into the same folder. It's labelled "No Stopping", and I'm not sure why. Unless, of course, Muge means "no stopping", and I don't think it does.

About Ben's song... I'm not sure how Awaya intended it to be, but I always thought it was written from the point of view of someone who is so deeply in love with someone else that it turns into hate, or maybe the other way around... Every time she sings, "It's because I hate you", it seems like what she really wants to say is, "it's because I love you", but somehow fails (In Shaman King, Anna's pride is what gets in the way).

At any rate, it's a very angsty song D:.

Yes, I've always liked Sundance Kid and I jump at the chance to use it when I can. My favorite part is, "Now you can call me the Sundance Kid". Oh, man.

...but yeah, if you could send me yours that would be nice . As I am without means of downloading right now...

For Real is the opening to GensouMaden Saiyuki.>>; BNL is an abbreviation for Barenaked Ladies, which I use because the band is made of 5, 30 and above, fully-dressed canadian men. >>;

Yeah, alright, that makes more sense. It's very Anna. I was just distracted by 'Ringo? Beatles? Damn, now I have Yellow Submarine stuck in my head.'

But angsty is good. we like angst.

Alright! I will sendeth those asap! Call it a late present. >>;

Ah, thank you. Yousendit is such a valuable site .

Anyways, ringo = apple. So Ringo Urami Uta is something like "the bitter song of an apple", I guess. I personally don't like bitter apples; Fuji is my favorite kind. But maybe a bitter singing apple.

[kaji]

I knew that, it's just word association. >>;

Brings up some scary mental images.
