having trouble sleeping early in camp again, i wanted to try and explain why i have such an attachment to anime songs even though i don't listen to it much, don't really go full out on anime, or singers, or seiyuu. but really i have a huge liking for anime songs, and u can actually consider it my hobby haha. the following could be extremely irrelevant so don't read if ur not interested.
so ya for those of u who know my music list, literally all of it is anime songs haha. im not saying i don't appreciate other genres, i like korean songs for catchiness, chinese for songs with good meanings, also love songs with nice bands. but anime songs are all i need to listen to, at least for now. the reason why i like it is quite different from why others like music, i think.
so firstly, i really like jap as a language. it allows u flexibility in conveying the same message, as well as create ambiguity sometimes, which can make convos interesting. plus knowing english and chinese is a huge advantage in learning it, and i can improve or maintain just by watching anime. my aim is to be able to watch anime raw, and be able to appreciate normal jap shows, but that's abit too high lvl haha.
for me, a song takes time to register itself to my memory and liking, and it's usually a combination of reasons. it could be related to why i started the anime, whether i heard the voice before, which episode it came out on, what kind of feels i get before the episode melds into the song haha. op's (opening song) and ed's (ending song) have different reasons why i like them.
don't get me wrong, i don't have that much attachment to every song. some i will really end up forgetting or stop listening to. in fact, i don't listen to anime songs often, not the way people usually do. but they usually come as random thoughts, or i hum/whistle them regularly whenever im in a relaxed mood (travelling, etc).
there's certain things i really like, one is the band/instruments. i love songs with nice percussion as it allows me to lose myself in it. emotion is also very important for the same reason, though too corny i don't like. i also like originality in song, doesn't repeat too expectedly, lyrics too generic, or just seems too overheard. and the voice also matters la of course, but i don't really mind who sings if i have many other reasons to like the song.
but those that really strike a chord with me can really encompass the meaning of the anime, or have very likeable lyrics, comfortable for me to sing, very feelgood or have a very nice tune and instrumentals. for some weird reason, they are not usually the well known singers, and i do not always like their other songs. i do like the more famous songs, but sometimes i can get sick of listening to them.
ok enough explanation le, more than i thought a casual post will have, becoming to rant-like and hard to understand. my very nice song list: (im sure many ppl will question haha)
those i want to try in an anime band:
kimi no shiranai monogatari (bakemonogatari) - amazing but tricky lyrics, my voice not suited, piano skills required not easy
links (railgun) - but no one else might like this song that much haha
this game (no game no life) - probably the one i want to do the most, freaking outstanding everywhere, anime-related song too
songs i like cos i heard them recently:
log horizon op and ed - just different, a bit electronic and related to the anime haha
oration (no game no life) - nice feels, voice feels so shiro-like
equalizer/black bullet (fripside) - i just like her voice haha
most saki songs (esp op of s1 and s2) - cos mahjong, happy mood songs too
feelgood or unique songs:
working (someone else) - duh :P. the ed is catchy also
q&a recital (tonari no kaibutsu-kun) - love the wackiness, just like the anime haha
real world (jinrui) - nice lyrics actually, fun song too
aoi haru (seitokai) - damn catchy, but wtf impossibly fast
dead end (mirai nikki) - omg its english
rpg (c) - can't even remember full anime title, but so nice :D
abnormalize (psycho pass) - no guy i know can sing this
ichiban no takaramono (angel beats) - too pretty a song, great simple lyrics
my soul, your beats (angel beats, lia ver) - great emotion, describes the anime perfectly
ambivalent world (bakemonogatari) - feelgood, and i just don't get bored of it
yasashisa no riyuu (hyouka) - too attached, first anime song did in hostel heheh
railgun ed's - cos i was so pro-railgun once
songs i like even though i din't watch the anime o.o :
the bravery (supercell) - the band's too amazing, too bad i'll nvr be able to perform it, difficult lyrics and instrumentals.
no pain no game (ktboom or something) - dat voice and power
nevereverland (nano) - not even an anime, i can't believe its vocaloid
too much rant-mode le. if u want form band or disagree strongly with me, pls pm haha. that's all for now bye ~~
