Was uploading songs for jpop_princess (sorry it took so late!) and thought I'd share a bunch more. It has been a while since my last rec post, anyway.

From Halko's Cover Best album. Best cover songs ever. D:
Momoi Haruko - Yume no Naka e (KareKano)
Momoi Haruko - Yuzurenai Negai (Rayearth)

Saiga Mitsuki - Coming Home to Terra
TERRAAAAA~. ♪ It sounds so cheesy, but I like it. :D Hm. It probably won't be of much interest to you if you don't watch Terra e and/or like Saiga Mitsuki.

Taniyama Kishou, Itou Kentarou & Miyano Mamoru - Kagayaki wa Diamond
Classical music meets boy band. And this is the full version of the OP, in case you're wondering.

Piano instrumentals because I'm horribly biased:
Maurice Ravel - Prelude (1913)
A sweet little prelude. I'm learning this piece at the moment.

Yiruma - All Myself...
Yiruma - Love Me
Yiruma - Mika's Song
Yiruma - Your Autumn Scene
I adore Yiruma's music--so introspective, poignant and warm. ♥ These are four of my favorites from him.

Danny Elfman - Victor's Piano Solo
From Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. This is the version used in the movie, so it's unfortunately not complete. You do get to hear Victor saying "Do forgive me" in the end, though. AWWW. ;~;

And lastly, some good ol' dempa/moe:
MOSAIC.WAV - Kimi ga Nan Terabyte?
I'm not really a fan of the group, but this song's pretty cute.

Unknown? - Tsurupettan
. . . This could very well be my image song.


Poke me for reups if anything goes wrong with the links, etc, etc. Ah, and I have Momoi Haruko and Yiruma's entire discographies (more or less :D?), so please feel free to request. o/

♪ I love this new icon!
♪ Enrolment on Monday! I've made up my mind to switch sections and I'm going to dammit! >:E Hopefully, since I enrolled late, someone else would get my slot? Please. D:
♪ I'm getting new glasses on Sunday! Yaaay. ♥
♪ Still need to write Henrietta fic.
♪ I can't copy-paste Japanese characters properly anymore. WTH, lj. My bullets should've been stars!
♪ Momoi will be holding an hour-long concert at some con in the US. I would be extremely happy with this news, except I'm here. orz
♪ I am in love with Corda's main theme, appropriately entitled "Kin'iro no Corda." I thought it was a classical piece at first, but it turned out to be entirely original. I have four versions of the instrumental (collected from the series' kajillion albums) and uploaded them individually to YSI. Half of the filenames/tags are in romaji. . . because I'm inconsistent like that.

01. Expressivo vers.
02. Expressivo 2 vers. (this one's my favorite)
03. Vivace vers.
04. Corda 2 Classical Music Collection vers. (mellower than the others, but still very nice)

I have to comment again that I really like the trumpet. Maybe I should learn how to play that someday, along with the violin? Or maybe something less common, like a piccolo!! Wow, I feel like some RPG character choosing my default weapon. |D
