Rotation XVII - Christmas Special
Don't forget to read the RULES!
Alright, it's exactly one week 'til Christmas Eve, so I decided to revive the Christmas Special Rotation. Some of the things will be known from two(?) years ago, but most are new things I've never uploaded before ♥
Name: 二人みりのメリークリスマス (Futari miri no Merry Christmas)
Artist: 皆川純子 (Minagawa Junko)
CD: PROGRESS
Series: Prince of Tennis
Comment: This is a very, well, silent and calm christmas song that consists, musically speaking, of not much more than MinaJun's singing and a background choir. I don't know, but it somehow gives you a bit of the feeling of a church choir performing a kinda jazz-y christmas song. I like it~

Name: Heaven's Place
Artist: Janne da Arc
CD: D.N.A.

Name: Hurry Xmas
Artist: L'Arc~en~Ciel
CD: KISS
Comment: aaaw, I love this one~ I was so happy last year that my CD arrived early enough in December so that I was able to put on this song on Christmas xD It kinda makes you happy, I think, and that's what christmas is about, isn't it? Plus, I totally love the PV with all those dancing santas and the stop-motion-movie ^_^
[DOWNLOAD]
Name: Hurry Xmas (Silent Night Version)
Artist: L'Arc~en~Ciel
CD: Hurry Xmas (single)
Comment: basically, it's an instrumental version of the song above, but not less cute xD
[DOWNLOAD]
Name: I WISH 2007
Artist: P'UNK~en~Ciel
CD: Hurry Xmas (single)
Comment: not your typical christmas-song, perhaps XD; It's got punk (lotsa :3), it's got a chorus, it's pretty cool. One of my favourites out of the P'UNK-stuff that's out so far~
[DOWNLOAD]
Name: 祈り (Inori)
Artist: Psycho le Cému
CD: Beautiful World
Comment: it's a very peaceful and lovely song, fitting very much to the winter- and christmas times. But nevertheless, it sounds quite PLC-like and personally, I heart it very much. It's like a small precious gift...
[DOWNLOAD]
Name: 清しこの夜 (kiyoshi kono yoru)
Artist: 置鮎龍太郎 (Okiayu Ryoutarou)
CD: ?
Comment: Silent Night in Japanese. I love how Okki sings a certain part that in German, for some reason, everyone sings so highly that it usually hurts - unless someone can really sing well. Unfortunately, most of the people I've hear singing that can't. It's also the song that's sung in first semester Japanese class at Ruhr-Universität Bochum, btw XD *has lyrics at home*
[DOWNLOAD]
Name: 丸い太陽 -winter ver- (Marui Taiyou -winter ver-)
Artist: 太陽とシスコムーン (Taiyou to Ciscomoon)
CD: ?
Series: 魔術士オーフェンRevenge
Comment: Pop of doom! The three girls have nicely fitting voices that form a good unity, but I must say that in sum, they aren't really different from the other Hello!Project things... ^^'
[DOWNLOAD]
Name: Mid-Winter's Night
Artist: Blackmore's Night
CD: Minstrels and Ballads
Comment: *deeerp happy sigh* I looooooove Blackmore's Night *__* Their songs are always so rich in sound and Candelice's voice is so lovely. I must admit I seldom really love female voices, but I lost my heart to this one and her singing abilities <3 Everybody should listen to some BN stuff, it will make you feel warm, I swear.
(although it may not be everyone's taste since it's Renaissance(?) styled music...)
[DOWNLOAD]
Name: 白い世界で君と (shiroi sekai de kimi to)
Artist: 皆川純子 (Minagawa Junko)
CD: PROGRESS
Series: Prince of Tennis
Comment: This one is more pop-ish and kinda more lightly than Futari. One of those classical christmas/winter songs that makes you happy. In fact, this is also a kind of Ryoma-birthday-song, since this character's birthday is, if I'm not mistaken, December 25th...
[DOWNLOAD]
Name: The Snowfall Avenue
Artist: Lastier
CD: Singles Collection
Comment: Like many winter-songs this one is kinda warm and cute and such, and personally, I like it alot. I admit there are better songs on the CD, but this one is one of those where you can lay down, close your eyes and just relax. It's, by sound, a very typical Lastier-track as well.
[DOWNLOAD]
Name: Winter
Artist: Deb Lyons (composed and written by Kajiura Yuki)
CD: Fiction
Comment: I like music composed by Kajiura Yuki very much and so I enjoy this album alot. To me, this song sounds like vast, beautiful winter landscapes full of snow forming the strangest creatures when lying on tress and plants. I guess you know what I mean, don't you? ^^' The lyrics are really lovely and kinda give a feeling of hope and happiness. It's so cute.
[DOWNLOAD]
Name: winter Fall
Artist: L'Arc~en~Ciel
CD: Heart
Comment: When they played this one on their Paris concert, I was like "wtf, it's may XD" or so and it gave me a big surprise. But on the other hand, it fitted there, since it's a happy, bouncy song, kinda and quite danceable. And, of course, Hyde's singing makes it even better XD
[DOWNLOAD]
Name: 雪の足跡 (Yuki no Ashiato)
Artist: L'Arc~en~Ciel
CD: KISS
Comment: This one here is more of a ballad, but Laruku's ballads are always wonderful. You're probably already sick of hearing me saying so, but that's also thanks to Hyde's incredible voice I'd say. Seldom do I hear people (outside of an opera house perhaps) that are able to sing such notes as he does. This one here fits especially to chirstmas alot (althouh it's no actual christmas song) and is also very impressive when performed live. Did I ever mention I adore Laruku...?

That's all for today~ Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays ^_^
