In need of anime music suggestions

[thejohncheng]

Hey everyone, my band is in need of some suggestions.  we keep getting booked for anime cons so we figure WE NEED SOME MORE ANIME MUSIC.  So far I do a cello duet with the piano (Adesso e Fortuna from Record of Lodoss War), and we do Naruto's Wind Theme.  We are also in the process of learning Totoro.  However, our violin player would like to sing more so if anyone knows of some male vocal pieces that are good could you guys make some suggestions? also I'm still in need for a good anime/video game song that could be turned into a cello solo.  Thanks everyone

ur violinist can sing ne song, even if its a female part.  just have him sing it down an octave or 2.  when i sing songs that 2 performed by guys, i sing it up an octave, so its not 2 hard.

Sleepless Beauty from Gravitation!!!! Sacred Air Mix! Your violin player could sing like Ryuichi does in the episode it's played in!  XD That and you guys would get a stampede of fangirls.

Hey thanx for the suggestions, but is that from a Yaoi, cuz that's what our violinists says, but he wants to make sure, if so, is there any more suggestions, (he's thinking of doing Change the World from Inuyasha, but just with piano acompany) man my spelling suxors

How about some of the Pillows' stuff from FLCL? I can list at least six songs that I'd love to hear. ^_^

[Ameria-chan]

Pillows is good!! And Change the World!

...Gravitation is shounen-ai (clean), not yaoi (graphic). And what's wrong with that anyway? It's just the music! And the music in Gravi is amazing because Daisuke Asakura composed it. *nodnod*

[thejohncheng]

Well I"m not familiar with Asakura, but I he just said he doesn't want to sing anything from a Yaoi, or graphic anime I guess.  But either way if it's clean I don't see what's wrong with it either.  Sorry didn't mean to offend anyone who watches Yaoi or anything

[Ameria-chan]

Shounen-ai is just sweet stuff, no worries there, and the music's great! Please consider Sleepless Beauty, I guarantee it'll be a hit. ^_^

Will do if i can d/l it from Kazaa I can't find it!!! do u have a link or something? also i don't think we can do Pillows stuff, we are a cello, piano, guitar, 2 violins and a flute, we don't have the drums, although their music is really good

[Ameria-chan]

They have all 3 mixes here: http://www.nittlegrasper.com/nittles/gravitation_nittles_music2.shtml

The Sacred Air mix is probably the best for you guys, though.

Man the slow version didn't have lyrics, i think if we do it, we'll have to write a totally new arranged piece and by "we" i mean Kanako Sueyoshi
but i'll see if our violin player wants to do it

[Ameria-chan]

In the slow version in the show you just hear Ryuichi singing along to the first verse or so a couple times like "Ima mo todokanu, hikari no yukue, azayaka ni mau....omoi o egakou...Michibiku, kotoba wa, koboete, shimawaru you ni...utsuru toki o...osorenaide~....Todokanu hikari..." and then the music takes over. ^^ If he could do that, there would be girls screaming their heads off. XD Hm..On Kazaa you might be able to find that version called "Zapp Tokyo" or "Zapp Tokyo Concert" or something along those lines.

Sayonara from Saikano.  I'm in love with that song now.

In fact, I just finished a new piece that I think would be perfect for your band.  The title is Cruel Angel's Thesis, it's the opening to Evangelion.

why dont you try "farewell" from vision of escaflowne?
