10 tracks for Dr. Akihiko Sanada. The first seven deal with his background up until the start of Babylonoir. The last three are for Dark Hour "canon". Aka: Akihiko/Vergil. Cover art, track list, link, etc, all under the cut.
Part the First: Scars and Stitches
(To prevent confusion: Akihiko was born with the name "Miki". The name change is explained below.)
Anthem of a Misguided Youth - chthonic
Remix of some Legend of Zelda music. A theme for Miki's childhood as he grows up in the orphanage before being adopted by a doctor along with his best friend Shinji. The doctor begins to train them.
Blood Makes Noise - Suzanne Vega
"I think that you might want to know
The details and the facts
But there's something in my blood
Denies the memory of the acts"
Miki is unable to cope during the direct aftermath of Shinji's mistake and disappearance. (Alternate song: "Nineteen" by Tegan and Sara.)
Doctor Jones - Aqua
"Please, please cure me
Doctor Jones, Doctor Jones (wake up now)"
Miki finishes his training, then lands a good job as the private doctor for a very wealthy family. An upbeat song for a life that's going well.
Stupid - Sarah Mclachlan
"How stupid could I be
A simpleton could see
That you're no good for me
But you're the only one I see."
Miki gets (romantically) involved with his employer's oldest son, even though deep down he knows it's a terrible idea. (Alternate song: "Hands Clean" by Alanis Morissette)
Into the Ocean - Blue October
"Not knowing how to think
I scream aloud, begin to sink
My legs and arms are broken down
With envy for the solid ground
I'm reaching for the life within me
How can one man stop his ending?
I thought of just your face
Relaxed, and floated into space.
I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean."
His employer finds out about the relationship and threatens to kill Miki. His lover urges him to flee, and Miki is left with no other choice.
Duvet (Lain's Theme) - Boa
"I am falling
I am fading
I have lost it all"
Miki escapes, leaving everything behind. He shaves off his beard, dyes his hair, and changes his name to Akihiko.
The World You Love - Jimmy Eat World
"I'm in love with the ordinary
I need a simple space
And rest my head
Everything gets clear
Well, I'm a little ashamed of asking
But just a little helps
It gets me straight again
Helps me get over it.
But I won't give in now
Not for any amount."
Akihiko moves onto Tartarus Way, and begins to rebuild.
Part the Second: Dark Hour Special
What is this Feeling - Wicked
"What is this feeling, so sudden and new?"
Vergil's response to Akihiko's advances.
What Would Happen - Meredith Brooks
"What would happen if we kissed?
Would your tongue slip past my lips
Would you run away? Would you stay?
Or would I melt into you
Mouth to mouth, lust to lust
Spontaneously combust."
Because both Akihiko and Vergil used it on the latest Dark Hour post. Both are wondering, and Akihiko is slowly wearing Vergil down.
Drive - Melissa Ferrick
"Whatever you want
I’ll give it to you
I’ll give it to you slowly
Till you’re just begging me to hold you
Yeah whatever you want
Whatever you want
But you’re gonna have to ask me.
I'll hold you up and drive you all night
I'll hold you up and drive you, baby,
Till you feel the daylight
Oh, and this has just begun.
Right here between your hips
This is where I want to live
This is where all the love you give exists."
Yeah, pretty much this whole song. Akihiko has plans for Vergil, indeed he does.
