I'm so very happy Spirited Away finally got its share of fanmix love! Thank you, and you have my love for the job you did. Will be downloading and listening)
And I've seen SA in eng dub, but I don't think you can miss pre-romance vibe there, because I was totally enamoured with it. So fresh and delightfully underplayed)

[amethyst_rei]

Thank you! I was really astonished when I couldn't find a SA mix anywhere. I mean, the entire movie is just so fanmix worthy, isn't it?

I've seen it in Eng dub, too (J-dub too, though, both with subs and a native J-speaker beside me), and I know that most people get that very obvious vibe, but it amazes me how easily it could go right over some people's heads. I recently made some of my friends watch it with me and when I tried to squee about all the awesome shippy subtext when the movie ended, it was like they didn't know what I was talking about. "Aren't they too young for that?" they kept asking me. *Shakes head* I didn't know whether to feel exasperated or embarrassed. Hence, this mix.

Anyways, thanks so much for checking this out and taking the time to comment. I really hope you enjoy it.

(and you icon is too darn cute! Sunako-chan, right?)

The "too young" argument is just so... in sync with some superficial PC logic, it would hardy come to the minds of people familiar with Japanese animanga:))

And no, icon is Sawako from Kimi ni Todoke) Sunako didn't make it to my icons because I fill grim-looking vacancies with pretty boys (Hei and Jin mostly XD), and Sawako beats Sunako at cuteness)

[amethyst_rei]

Agreed.

And Oh Wow. Somehow I completely missed that. And I just saw Kimi ni Todoke a few months ago, too. *smh* Anyway, I must be terribly odd because I personally find Sunako to be more adorable than Sawako. For some reason.

And ah, your icon reminds me of good times. I seriously need to watch the second season of DtB.

This looks so beautiful! And now that you mention it, you're right -- I've never seen a Spirited Away fanmix either. How strange, this movie is wonderful enough to deserve quite a few! At least there's one now, haha.

Anyway, I love the work that went into this, and ohmigosh you have The Garden of Everything on here~ ♥ AAAAH I'm so looking forward to listening to this!

Thank you for sharing, and I'll be looking forward to any other Spirited Away fanmixes you make as well. (also you're amazing for working on one centering on Chihiro and Kaonashi, just so you know~)

[amethyst_rei]

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment! I do hope you enjoy the mix!

And it's odd, isn't it? Especially considering that SA is one of Miyazaki's more popular films.

"GoE" is totes awesomesauce. When I first discovered the song I was practically on cloud 9. Maaya S. and Steve C. on their own are incredible. Together? Phenomenal.

Once again, thanks so much for checking the mix out. I truly hope you enjoy it (and the Kaonashi one to come. Kaonashi... GUH.).

Cheers~

Good to know it wasn't *too* many songs. Lol.

And faeries. Also good to know I'm not the only one utterly smitten with pretty much anything faerie related (well, I know I'm not the only one, but it's nice meeting another person).

Hope you enjoy the mix!

I love the movie! So, I'm excited with this fanmix. It makes me happy.

Downloading!

(Your icon is just precious ♥)

Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy the mix!

It's one of my favourite movies too. :)

Thank you for making these mixes available. I only recognize a few of the artists so I'm looking forward to listening to this.
