Has anyone else heard this song? It is the ending theme to the Anime Naruto season 1. I think both the lyrics and acoustics are brilliant and refreshing and would just like to share it with everyone. Anyone else got any good songs to recommend? Any genre. I'm opening my audible sense to discover great music again. d/l link: http://narutofan.com/index.php/content-multimedia,music Lyrics: Wind "Cultivate your hunger before you idealize Motivate your anger to make them realize Climbing the moutain. Never coming down? Break into the contents. Never falling down My knee is still shaking like I was twelve Sneaking out the class room by the back door A man railed at me twice but I didn't care Waiting is wasting for people like me. Don't try to live so wise. Don't cry coz you're so right. Don't dry with fakes or fears. Coz you will hate yourself in the end. You say "dreams are dreams. I ain't gonna play the fool anymore." You say "coz I still got my soul." Take your time baby your blood needs to slow down. "Breach your soul." "Reach yourself before you gloom." Reflection of fear makes shadows of nothing. You still are blind if you see the winding road. Coz there is always a straight way to the point you see Don't try to live so wise. Don't cry coz you're so right. Don't dry with fakes or fears. Coz you will hate yourself in the end."
Naruto rocks and the song is darn good tooo. Too bad it had such a short stay on the anime. The first song to go to be changed. Don't about what song I'd recommend but I'd recommend the anime slam dunk if you liked naruto. IMO, it was as important to the popularization of basketball in China as Yao (ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit).
Pokemon Theme (Full) I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was. To catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause. I will travel across the land, searching far and wide. Each Pokemon to understand, the power that's inside. Chorus: Pokemon! It's you and me. I know it's my destiny. Oh, you're my best friend, in a world we must defend. Pokemon! A heart so true! Our courage to pull us through. You teach me and I'll teach you. Pokemon Gotta catch em all! Pokemon! Every challenge along the way, with courage I will face. I will battle everyday, to claim my rightful place. Come with me, the time is right, there's no better team. Arm in arm we'll win the fight, it's always been our dream. Chorus Pokemon World (full) So you wanna be a master? (Pokemon!) Understand the secrets and (Have some fun!) So you wanna be a master? (Pokemon!) Do ya have the skills ta be? (Number one!) I wanna take the ultimate step, find the courage to be bold. To risk it all, and not forget, the lessons that I hold... I wanna go where no one's been, far beyond the crowd. Learn the way to take command. (Use the power that's in my hand) Chorus: We all live in a Pokemon world! (Pokemon) I wanna be the greatest master of them all! (Greatest master!) We all live in a Pokemon world! (Pokemon) I put myself to the test to be better than all the rest! Everyday along the way, I will be prepared. With every challenge, I will gain, the knowledge to be shared. In my heart, there's no doubt, of who I wanna be! Right here standing strong, THE GREATEST MASTER OF POKEMON. Chorus So you wanna be a master?
Music and Anime, nothing tops Yoko Kanno's work, especially on Cowboy Bebop. Actually, I was hoping our resident music aficionados, especially the ones who like Jazz, would listen to a few select cuts and tell me what they think. http://jameswong.com/ykproject/disc/disc.php?cd=bebop_1 On this page, listen to tracks 1, 2, and I guess 13. http://jameswong.com/ykproject/disc/disc.php?cd=bebop_blue #8 and 17 http://jameswong.com/ykproject/disc/disc.php?cd=bebop_futureblues #7 and #9(this was a song from a chase sequence, you can tell just from listening to it)
I was wondering what other animes people would recommend. I've seen part of Kenshin, all of Cowboy Bebop, all of Fruits Basket, all of DNAngel, some Naruto. Also read most of the Slam Dunk mangas as well as a few others...Any recs?
Last Exile, Scrapped Princess (If you got the latest Winamp and connect to Internet TV some guy is streaming the whole series off of it. Almost no buffering errors at all.), Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex Season 1 & 2, Witch Hunter Robin (airs on Cartoon Network now. They finished Ep 4 of it last night. Comes on Mon-Thurs.). http://www.animesuki.com http://crackrock.net/~box/tracker http://www.downloadanime.org/ Those are some Anime bit torrent sites that have the series. Cowboy Bebop is a good series, and the creators of the series are making a samurai anime airing soon in Japan called Samurai Champloo. http://www.samuraichamploo.com/ for the website. I forget the musical theme they're going for but I think it'll be more hip-hop opposed to the Jazz theme of Cowboy Bebop. Trying to think of some other anime I've watched recently that I liked. If you're into the anime with a story that starts and ends after every episode like Cowboy Bebop, then the Ghost in the Shell series is the right one for you. The anime with a more continuous story line are Last Exile, and Scrapped Princess. Witch Hunter Robin is a mix of both. The first 11 episodes are more different story every episode, then at ep 12 changes to a continuous storyline. I'll think of some others that I liked later.
oh yeah http://www.suprnova.org has an anime section. It's been down as of late for me but if/when it comes back up, it's got a large selection of anime to download off of.
