The letter "P" song survey

[pacificpikachu]

Song letter meme from onoes_mischief:

Comment and I'll give you a letter. In your journal, list 10 of your favorite songs that begin with that letter. All songs will be available for download. It's kind of a mixtape thing.

I was given P for Pikachu! Unsurprisingly, Yoko Kanno is FTW for this and therefore half of the songs are her. THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD DOWNLOAD ALL OF THESE. THE ONLY EXCUSE YOU HAVE TO NOT DOWNLOAD THEM IS IF YOU HAVE THEM ALREADY. XDDD

1. Pride~ Nageki no Tabi - Yoko Kanno, from Sousei no Aquarion OST 1. (Loooove Sousei no Aquarion OSTs!)

An upbeat, really pretty J-pop-ish song. It seriously floods me with happiness every time I listen to it. I'm rather obsessed with this song, and have been for well over a year (two years?) now.

2. Perdeski Cloyn - Yoko Kanno, from the Ashura-jo no Hitomi OST.

Awesome, intense, beautiful song--oriental sounding, with awesome, chant-type vocals. It's an exhilarating song.

3. Prophet - Yoko Kanno, from the Earth Girl Arjuna OST 1.

Low-key, rhythm-and-chants song that slowly builds into something overwhelming with an orchestra and a difficult to describe sense of life itself. A very reverent song--reminds me of the power of the natural world.

4. Pearls - Yoko Kanno, from the Cowboy Bebop: Tank! The! Best! CD

Sad, jazzy, lovely, slightly operatic ballad in Italian, with Ilaria Graziano's gorgeous vocals and Yoko Kanno's (as always) masterful piano.

5. Pilgrim Snow - Yoko Kanno, from Wolf's Rain OST 1 (Wolf's Rain = my favorite soundtrack ever)

Sweet, pretty song that reminds me of the snow falling. And Toboe. ♥

6. Paradiso - Yoko Kanno, from Wolf's Rain OST 1

Downbeat, saxophone-and-piano song that is a reprise of the main instrumental theme of Wolf's Rain. Filled with emotion, like most Wolf's Rain songs are.

7. Pastel Doori - DEPAPEPE meets Honey & Clover

Gorgeous guitar piece--so nostalgic and pretty and clear and nice. ♥

8. Planetes (Affettuoso) - Hitomi, from PlaneteS

Flowing piano and voice piece. Beautiful and gentle-sounding. Gah, I should have put the normal version (just PlaneteS) on here, because it's longer and I love the later parts of that version, but this version is really pretty, too. You can find the other one on Gendou.com.

9. Prism (TV Edit) - Ikeda Ayako, from Dennou Coil

A good J-pop song, if not a little typical. I actually like the ending theme better (so pretty), but it doesn't start with a "P". Yes, I'm pimping Dennou Coil more. XD

10. Pokémon Symphonic Melody Mitsuru Kazumi, from Pokémon/Pocket Monsters

Orchestral piece basically to the tune of Mezase Pokémon Master. :D One of the Japanese themes. I was going to put the original English Pokémon theme on here, but, uh, who hasn't heard that? O_o;

That took me longer than you know (ugh, had to dig through 100+ anime CDs, decide on songs, rip them, upload, etc.), so please partake and download all of them. :D Or AT LEAST the Yoko Kanno ones. Let me know if any of the links are wrong, though they shouldn't be.

[hitchi.livejournal.com]

C for...Chihiro Onitsuka? =D I intend to downlaod at least some of your songs, but I just found a bunch of sweet Oni covers, so I've been recording/saving those, and...haha, I should have room. *crosses fingers*

Yoko Kanno ftw!! ♥♥ Her music is so beautiful~ (Pilgrim Snow! ♥)

[ylmik-wisty.livejournal.com]

Pretties...

I have the Wolf's Rain OSTs, I love the two you chose. <3 Paradiso.

All right, off to download the others!

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

I'm obsessed with Yoko Kanno to the point where I commonly refer to her as God. Yeeeeah. XDDD

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

The Wolf's Rain OSTs are my favorite two CDs ever, I think, though there are a great many other Yoko Kanno CDs that are absolutely stunning. I've never heard a Yoko Kanno CD I didn't love (and I have...what, forty of her CDs now, or something? Maybe more?).

[pacificpikachu.livejournal.com]

Ah, but it has to be song titles, not artists! Tricky tricky.

If you don't have room, I can always burn stuff for you. I have stuff to send you anyway. @_@

[hitchi.livejournal.com]

Yes, but Oni has Call, Cage, Crow, and Castle Imitation! I shall upload one of those.

I currently have 48MB on my HD, so I should have enough, and plus I have at least a couple of those songs. Yay!
