Music Post - Saiyuki

[tj_dragonblade]

Quite awhile back, I promised 'Saiyuki Music' to tad_coast. I've also been promising the same to my friend back home for...eheh. Even longer. Thus. It's high time I get to it, ne? Done here in case anyone else would be interested as well. ^_^;

If you're looking for the four character songs from the Saiyuki Requiem movie, you can find them here (if they don't dL with info attched, holler at me and I can provide tagging info). One song for each of the boys, including Hakkai (he speaks over a musical track, instead of singing).

Translations for several of the songs can be found here, as well as translations for the omake/drama tracks. If anyone's looking for those, btw (they run from mildly amusing to rolling-on-the-floor hilarious), holler at me and I'll get them up as well. Sanzo singing karaoke, Hakkai asleep behind the wheel, and Gojyo dancing naked for the others are my personal favorites.

I'm afraid that somehow, I don't have the opening song for Gunlock (WAG - Don't Look Back Again, I think it is). If anyone out there has it, would you mind sending it my way if it's not too much trouble? I'd be most appreciative. *bows humbly*

If I skipped any links, or mis-pasted any links, again, just holler. I will fix. ^_^

Yay! Love for you, downloading for me! :D Thank you!!

[tadity.livejournal.com]

And in the midst of my downloading, I noticed that you have Sanzo no Theme linked under Gojyo no Theme. ;)

Hah. Whoops. Fixed! (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=C97F82D54A7D0AC8) Thank you.

Also, Brad's provided link for the opening song from Gunlock - see below. ^_^

Just to throw it out therE: Knight of Midnight isn't a Saiyuki song. ;)

[tj-dragonblade.livejournal.com]

...It's not? Oh thank god. Heh. Thank you. I hate to disseminate mis-information. It's hard to know what tagging info to trust when I'm not the one ripping the CD, and I always like to get it right. Would you happen to know where it is from?

[thefacelessevil.livejournal.com]

It's actually from a radio program that Akira did way back when called "Knight of Midnight" Hakkai has only had the "Something in my mind" song.

Akira's actually a better singer then Hoshi when you find his right tune. hehe. But he's too shy.

Akira's actually a better singer then Hoshi when you find his right tune.

Which is not Knight of Midnight, I daresay. I never thought that it suited his voice very well; if a person is shy about singing to begin with, then I'd definitely pair him with a simpler, stronger, less-complex piece than that. But that's just me.

I always thought it was a shame he doesn't sing much when his speaking voice is so utterly lovely.

[thefacelessevil.livejournal.com]

He did that awhile back ago so he probably wasn't a huge-fancy-star who could call his own shots back then. Now he's popular enough to whimper and say he refuses to sing and people obey. ;)

There is a song he has for the girls-love game Haruka. I should upload it for you, he uses his deep voice there... very soothing.

I believe I have several songs of his back in Slayers days as Xellos. Interested, while I should encode some Kawamura Ryuichi and Luna Sea for you.

Don't Look Back Again by Wag

[tj-dragonblade.livejournal.com]

^_^ Thank you!

[deathlike.livejournal.com]

No problemo. Anything else do you need?

[tj-dragonblade.livejournal.com]

Mmm...not that I can think of right off--or...well, I know life keeps you busy. But if you had time somewhere, and wanted to send a couple of those Ishida Akira songs my way, I wouldn't complain. ^_^;;
