WON Soundtrack; God I hope this works out this time...

Okay, here's what this thread is all about. Each person can choose a theme song representing their character(s). The theme song doesn't have to match with lyrics but it can match with the musical style, although lyrics are an option. So try to choose the song that best fits your character. I'll try to keep an up-to-date list of the character's individual songs and if you want, you can also choose a song that fits the village well. In the villages' case, it would probably be best to have some sort of ambient song, or instrumental song for a village.

Now I have yet to choose a song for myself, but when I do, I'll post and then add it to the list. Once enough tracks are selected, me or someone else who's willing to give it a try will try to make the album art (ie. front cover, back cover) so that it looks really official and moderately cool. I hope everyone enjoys this and I hope it works out.

Before I kept using random rock songs which i felt the lyrics fit very well. But the truth is that for any given characters theres a million songs that fit them. Just look at how every linkin park song seems to fit: sasuke, naruto, zabuza, haku, gaara, kimmimaru, etc. I think Sach is right, that the music's emotion itself should fit the character more. Which why i went with this song.

"Gekkou" by asian kung-fu generation

English translation(roughly) :

The sudden evening shower has passed, chasing after the seasons
Although it will never reach it
At any point, my sadness can come calling
Softly, without any reason

After the sound of the rain has disappeared
The silence, together with loneliness, dances through the night
At any point, without a reason
I can lose my bearings forever

The final time is arriving
If it’s a dream, I wanted you to just wake up
The moon is shining again today, as if searching for a lost child

The memories running down your face
Melt away, and irony comes to the surface

The memories that overflow from the stagnant depths inside of me
Never knew the means to drown out the unending pain in this cold world

The final time is arriving
If it’s a dream, I wanted you to just wake up
The moon is shining again today, as if searching for a lost child



Aside from the obvious name implication, I like the tone of this song. It's a steady but not to slow guitar, a style which really isn't done to often, these days if it doesnt have some crazy fast or distorted guitar it is hardly even seen as rock music or is written off as an emo imitation of rock. But this song is really relaxing, ye tit still holds up more than some slow beat song. Plus the lyrics seem to hold some kind of poetic meaning (although this is a translation, and all japanese to english translation seem to be kinda scratchy and end up with some song that makes no sense). When I read these lyrics (and listen to the song itself) they give this image of somebody standing at night in the rain, but it slowly clears away, they are ditching the all that and just trying to move on. Not sitting around mopping over it forever, which is exactly what I am trying to do with Kin. Before he was......as some would joke, emo....all he did was bitch about how his life sucked and therefore he had the right to be an asshole to everybody. But now he has grown up, he is getting over all that and is just trying to be a better person rather than being immature about all of that stuff. Even if the lyrics above are a crap translation the music holds this as well, its slow beat and almost depressing at first, but them moves into an electric guitar that moves faster, but isn't shred-o-matic like every rock song on the face of the earth.

in my opinion: picking a song thats just meant to played while your kicking ass isn't even a real theme, that's jsut a fighting song.

NEED MORE METHAMPHEDAMINES!!!!
I've always liked Origa songs, and I thought that the lyrics and music in the song "date of rebirth" caught my attention. It's about different changes, etc., and seems fitting somehow.

Kingdom Hearts AMV: http://youtube.com/watch?v=d8n4rvnLuO8 (actually pretty good)
Just the song at ending of GITS:SAC:SSS: http://youtube.com/watch?v=lV_LCQNeMgc

"Date of Rebirth"



(Accelleration,
Flight,
Jump,
Calculation
Of a fall.
I knew about everything beforehand.
I believed I was going across
What for?)

It's a revolution.



(To find in order to lose,
To fall in order to stand up,
To igite by cooling down.
To find myself in oneself
And not fear the egde.
To be reborn by perishing)



(One swallow
Has opened up up a stream
Of doubts.
The new world
(...two lines...
unintelligable...)

(What for?
It's a revolution.)


(What for?
It's a revolution.)



(To find in order to lose,
To fall in order to stand up,
To igite by cooling down.
To find myself in oneself
And not fear the egde
To be reborn by perishing)

To the new world
To the new world)


(To find in order to lose,
To fall in order to stand up,
To igite by cooling down.
To find myself in oneself
And not fear the egde
To be reborn by perishing)

To the new world
To the new world)



(To find in order to lose,
To fall in order to stand up,
To be reborn by perishing)
In the new world

To the new world.

Well it was actually kind of tough to find what that i considered 'fit' Takoru. But i finally did after about an Hour of looking er...Listening.
I was actually looking for a song that went good with him by Tune but then i saw Raives post and decided i needed Lyrics that kinda made since with Takoru and welll here it is.

Listen: http://youtube.com/watch?v=TzNza21A2uo
Pieces By Sum 41

"Pieces"

I tried to be perfect
But nothing was worth it
I don’t believe it makes me real
I thought it’d be easy
But no one believes me
I meant all the things I said

If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I’m trying to let you know
That I’m better off on my own

This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I don’t know how it got so bad
Sometimes it’s so crazy
That nothing can save me
But it’s the only thing that I have

If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I’m trying to let you know
That I’m better off on my own

On my own

I tried to be perfect
It just wasn’t worth it
Nothing could ever be so wrong
It’s hard to believe me
It never gets easy
I guess I knew that all along

If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I’m trying to let you know
That I’m better off on my own

Hmm another one of these threads ey? wel this is good because i was just thinking about it the theme song i'd pick for Seisho is also a good fight song becasue its metal/screamo but deffinatly the theme for seisho would be This Fire Burns by Killswitch Engage

Lyrics: you!!!

Yeah

All I've ever wanted was destiny to be fulfilled
It is in my hands, I must not fail, I must not fail

Even through the darkest days
This fire burns always
This fire burns always

This is the broken ground
Misery begins to rise
Turn away from yesterday
Tomorrow's in my eyes (Oh!)

Nevermore to be held down
By the wings of history
Nevermore to be cast aside
This day is mine

Even through the darkest days
This fire burns always
This fire burns always

I will not be denied in this final hour
I will not be denied, this day is mine
This passion inside me is burning is burning
This passion inside me is burning is burning

Even through the darkest days
This fire burns always (always)
This fire burns (fire burns) always
Always (always)


This is an AMV with the song for it, i couldn't find a music video
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Xlm4z7LFPy4

I think this song fits seisho because i always have him struggling within events and in kumo, with his own subordinates, and being defeated at times makes him struggle to leave the past behind him and unleash his potential

Um...yea i already have my theme song labeled in my profile above my appearance but anyways. Namines real theme song is Sorrow by Flyleaf. (The lyrics speak for itself.)


KH AMV for the song Sorrow- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZn8k7OhWy8

"Sorrow"

Sometimes life seems too quiet
Into paralyzing silence
Like the moonless dark
Meant to make me strong

Familiar breath of my old lies
Changed the color in my eyes
Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by

Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me

Left alone with only reflections of the memory
To face the ugly girl that's smothering me
Sitting closer than my pain
He knew each tear before it came
Soon He will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by

Sorrow last through this night
I'll take this piece of You
And hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As You flew right through me

And we kiss each other one more time
And sing this lie that's halfway mine
The sword is slicing through the question
So I won't be fooled by his angel light

Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me
And up into the stars

Joy will come

Hmm For themesong Nevets would probably fit with me against the world by Simple Plan

"Me Against The World"

We're not gonna be
Just apart of their game
We're not gonna be
Just the victims
They're taking our dreams
And they tear them apart
'til everyone's the same
I've got no place to go
I've got no where to run
They love to watch me fall
They think they know it all

I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
I've gotta prove them wrong
Me against the world
It's me against the world

We won't let them change
How we feel in our hearts
We're not gonna let them control us
We won't let them shove
All their thoughts in our heads
And we'll never be like them

I've got no place to go
I've got no where to run
They love to watch me fall
They think they know it all

I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
I'm gonna prove them wrong
It's me against the world
Me against the world

Now I'm sick of this waiting
So come on and take your shot
You can spit all your insults
But nothing you say is gonna change us
You can sit there and judge me
Say what you want to
We'll never let you in

I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
Me against the world

I'm a nightmare, a disaster
That's what they always said
I'm a lost cause, not a hero
But I'll make it on my own
I've got to prove them wrong
They'll never bring us down

We'll never fall in line
I'll make it on my own
Me against the world


And if all else fails enterance theme will be Stupid MF by Mindless Self Indulgence WOOOO!!

The Energizer Bunny XD
Well i gotta say a good song for Ginji would be Downfall by Trust Company. I'd pick this because When Ginji was younger he killed his best friend out of mad emotions, and for a long period of his life he would keep them held up in side until everynow and then they would brake out and he would flip and have a breakdown of anger. But the part about breaking away fits also because Takai helped Ginji take control of his emotion and get over it and stay strong so it fits.

Heres the Lyrics.


Fear in me so deep it gets the best of me,
In the fear I fall, here it comes face to face with me,
Here I stand hold back so no one can see,
I feel these wounds, step down, step down,
step down.

(am I) Breaking Down
Can I break away
Push me away, make me fall,
Just to see, another side of me,
Push me away, you can see,
what I see, the other side of me.

Fall back on me, and I’ll be the strength I need,
to save me now, just come face to face with me,
stay in place you'll be the first to see, me heal these wounds,
step down, step down, step down, down

I’m not breaking, down
can I break away
push me away, make me fall,
just to see another side of me,
push me away you can see,
what I see, the other side of me

Go!

Fall, can I break away
push me away, make me fall,
just to see another side of me,
push me away you can see,
what I see, the other side of me

No one can see anything on the other side of me
I walk, I crawl, loosing everything and waiting for the downfall
No one can see everything on the other side of me
I walk, I crawl loosing everything on the downfall.
Downfall, Fall.

Okay, I've got both of my theme songs. I'm not going to put up the lyrics because I find the idea of putting them up to be stupid. >_> (especially because my choices have nothing to do with the lyrics)

My song choices are as follows:

For Kisuke, I felt a song that was exciting was the only song that would work for him, he may have some darker things about him, but they're not the primary thing. So my choice for Kisuke was:

Guerrrilla Radio by RATM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS8ajkhRpHw

And for Itami, due to him being a darker more messed in the head and sadistic individual I felt that the following song fits him to a T, my song choice was:

Forsaken by Disturbed (ft. Korn)

Oh, you saucy temptress...
Okay, here I thought I'd look up a song and get it within 10 minutes... it took me the whole fuckin day and 3 ppls help to pick a single song for just ONE of my characters.


Tenma (Dem): Darkness by Disturbed

This was recommended by Kisuke. The music itself fits Tenma's isolated (emo) personality well.
