Of course, this thing isn't always going to be used for just NaNo! Feel free to browse the contents of this page if you need mood music, or are just looking for something new to listen to!
I'm sorry for the roughness of this page... I promise I'll do my best to get it all spiffy as soon as I can!! =D I'm busy with other things, but I'll try and always make time for this page!!
Tsuyunoinochi's (me) recommended songs:
.hack:
.hack music is mostly instrumental, with a few vocal tracks ranging in opera tones and soft ballads. These songs are recommended for those who need soft, somewhat depressing or serene music. Some of the songs are also suited for a battle.
- Arche Kloen Falls - This song isn't particularly suited for a depressing, sensitive scene but more for an adventure scene, like perhaps a scenario of going through a cave. It's got a mysterious, adventurey vibe to it.
- Differences Between People - Definately a battle song. This can probably be used for a battle scene.
- Doppleganger - Another battle song.
- Eight Keys - There's a sensitive feel to this song. It could easily be used for a romantic scene or a depressing scene. I could definately see someone spilling out their heart with this song playing.
- Eightfold Illusion -
12012:
12012 is a Japanese heavy metal/rock band. I like to listen to a lot of their music in the case of an angry mood. They've also got a few nice ballads, and their rock songs aren't half bad either. Their lyric translations are, to say the least, extremely interesting. Some make no sense to me whatsoever, while others make me cry. It's entirely up to your own discretion.
- Over -
- Page -
- Pistol -
- Want Want Want - A beautiful ballad describing the story of a person who is dying, turning to sand, and speaking of their lover. He (well, presumably it's a 'he') wants this lover back. At least, this was what I got from the lyrics. It's such a pretty song!
Antic Cafe:
A Japanese oshare band. Their music is typically cute, and adorably so. They're good for summer scenes, or a happy scene in general.
- Nyappy in the World (Metropolitan Expressway Mix) - This is a club-like song. It would be perfect for a few characters going to a club, and it's a pretty long song as well, for minimal repeat.
Bonnie Pink:
Bonnie Pink is a Jpop artist. Her music, like most Jpop, is catchy and fun. Therefore, she is a fantastic summer-song artist.
- A Perfect Sky -
- Last Kiss -
Cali=Gari:
Their music is mostly erotic rock, which is quite obviously made for erotic scenes. They make odd genres of music, most of which I can't particularly describe.
- Erotopia - Erotic, pure and simple, hence the 'ero' in the title of the song. It'd definately an interesting song, with the middle of the song being made up entirely of moans. If you're looking for an erotic music, this is your song!
Death Note:
Death Note is a famous anime/movie/manga series that has begun to rage all over the world. The music is rather interesting, mostly finding its roots in mystery.
- L's Theme -
- L's Theme B -
- Light's Theme -
Duel Jewel:
Duel Jewel is an indie Japanese rock band. Their music is, for the most part, plain rock, but with an edge. Not all of it is for writers, but there are a few particular songs I enjoy from them.
- Azure - Azure is a wonderful rock song with great screaming and echoing vocals. It's got a great, interesting beat. It could probably be used for some sort of action scene, or a rock concert.
Camui Gackt:
The most amazing artist there is. For those who aren't familiar with him, you should be! Gackt creates some of the most exquisite, most amazing, best writing music one could possibly find! From piano ballads to rock songs to hyper to depressed, he's got everything! His lyrics are also worth looking up. I use them quite plentifully as the chapter titles to my stories. He's amazing!
- 12 Gatsu no Love Song - A Christmas song, so likely one can use it for Christmas. It's a ballad of sorts, and he actually used this song's (the Japanese version, I believe) PV as a tribute to 9-11. Also, this song is done in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and English, for your language of choice. It's also karaoke, if you prefer it lyric-less.
- Ares - A pretty, rather short track with Gackt singing what I assume is falsetto in the background, in a very high pitched voice. The sound is gorgeous, with minimal, practically silent instruments adding a wonderful background sound to Gackt's voice.
- Birdcage - A very contemplative song. The lyrics deal with memories and being trapped, hence the title.
- Fragrance - A contemplative, nostalgic tune. I find this most useful for scenes where a character is in a 'who am I' and 'what's my purpose' state of mind. Read the lyrics, and you'll find exactly why that is.
- Freesia ~op 2~ -
- Hoshi no Suna - A quiet piano ballad, useful for depressing scenes.
- Kimi ni Aitakute - A sweet song, a sort of ballad, telling a story about a guy who wants to see a specific girl again, and he tells their story through this song. It could be used for romantic scenes or perhaps a contemplative scene where a character is thinking back on a loved one.
- Last Song - One of Gackt's most meaningful songs, it tells a depressing story about a lost love, and dying. I very often use it for depressing scenes or goodbye scenes between romantically attached characters.
- Lust for Blood - This is an angry song, about being reborn and becoming human and whole... it could easily be used in a vampire scene of some sort, or a revenge scene. Listening to it, I could picture it being used as a killing scene, also.
