Anthy, totally "Doll Parts" by Hole:

i am doll eyes
doll mouth, doll legs
i am doll arms, big veins
dog bait
yeah, they really want you
they really want you, they really do
yeah, they really want you
they really want you, and i do too
i want to be the girl with the most cake
i love it so much it just turns to hate
i fake it so true, i am beyond fake
and someday, you will ache like i ache
someday, you will ache like i ache
i am doll parts
bad skin, doll heart
it's stands for knife
for the rest of my life
yeah, they really want you
they really want you, they really do
yeah, they really want you
they really want you, and i do too
i want to be the girl with the most cake
he only loves those things because he loves
to see them break
i fake it so true i am beyond fake
and someday, you will ache like i ache
someday, you will ache like i ache
someday, you will ache like i ache
someday, you will ache like i ache
someday, you will ache like i ache

Touga, "Kennedy" by Kill Hannah:

I wanna be a Kennedy
I wanna be a big heartbreaker
Live fast and for real
And you can follow it in the papers

I wanna be a Kennedy
I wanna shake hands with heroes
And kiss the girls of centerfolds on the tongue
And die young

I'll be brave tonight
Either live or die
I'll be brave tonight
Standing tall and bright
Such romantic eyes
Got me hypnotized
And if I had my chance I'd never let you go
And if I had my chance I'd never let you go

I wanna be a Kennedy
I wanna be tall and handsome
I'd conquer the world
And you'd see it on television

If I could be a Kennedy
If I could be a real heartbreaker
I'd watch you crash into my arms
We're the stars under the barrel of a gun
We die young

I'll be brave tonight
Standing tall and bright
Such romantic eyes
Got me hypnotized
And if I had my chance I'd never let you go
And if I had my chance I'd never let you go

Re: Themesongs for characters!

Playground school bell rings - again

Since Ohtori is a school for all student's regardless of grade some can say that the normal school bell is simply "Playground school bell's" correct?

Rain clouds come to play again

When they first introduce Mikage it is raining in that episode, almost all throughout but it fits in my opinion

Has no one told you she's not breathing?

Perfect Analogy of Mamiya, all you'd need to do is change she to he.

Hello, I'm your mind giving you someone to talk too Hello

Akio says that Mikage created his own illusion's of Mamiya over his regret in losing Tokiko I suppose that was even before Anthy started to play Mamiya.

If I smile and don't - believe

Anthy/Mamiya inwardly speaking to Mikage, since she seemed to enjoy her time with him as hinted by Akio.

Soon I know I'll wake from this dream

Once again another line belonging to Anthy/Mamiya was the time spent that precious to her? that's more then likely under debate.

Don't try to fix me I'm not broken

Mikage inwardly yelling at himself, which I'm sure happened more then once, doubtedly during the time of the series though.


Hello, I'm the lie living for you so you can hide
Don't cry


Nemuro undoubtedly wrestled with doubt, guilt and self loathing, over the fact he had killed one hundred innocent's. Though the analytical part of himself made excuses. It's hard to measure the time between the transformation from Nemuro to Mikage, but undoubtedly Mikage won in the end and Nemuro was sealed away.

Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
The rude awakening that Mikage went through in his duel when Mamiya started speaking to him and told him it was all an illusion. But it's strange... it was either Anthy, his mind, or the actual spirit of the deceased boy.

Hello, I'm still here
All that's left of yesterday


True, he was all that was left from a time long gone. Anthy and Akio on the other hand are from a time much further away then yesterday... I need to make a video of this song using Mikage... now if only I knew how to use Movie Maker... /sigh...

Re: Themesongs for characters!

SO
I'm going to continuously post here. Because I can.
What band am I suddenly hearing SKU within all their songs?
The Birthday Massacre

Akio and Anthy, in reference to their control of the duels and connections to Utena.
Happy Birthday
I think my friend said, "I hear footsteps."
I wore my black and white dress to the
Birthday massacre, birthday massacre, birthday...
I wore my black and white dress

I think my friend said, "Stick it in the back of her head."
I think my friend said, "Two of them are sisters."
"I'm a murder tramp, birthday boy", I think I said
"I'm gonna bash them in, bash them in", I think he said

We wished them all a happy birthday
We kissed them all goodnight
Now he chases me to my room,
Chases me to my room, chases me
In my black and red dress

Akio and Anthy
Queen of Hearts
He puts the gun to her head
She tells him everything
Her voice is haunted like a dream
He sews the crack in his heart
Before he tears her apart
In the basement underneath
He says,
Never say no to me

Mikage
Broken
Time is the promise
It turns and tells them what to do
It makes them dishonest
They let the suspicion kill the truth

Broken heart, Broken mind
When you let me in
Did you not know where I had been?

And love's what they wasted
A lie that makes their dreams come true
They're hiding their faces
Their smiles can break the heart in two


ah, man does not exist; ah, within the darkness; ah, the sound of the waves

Re: Themesongs for characters!

These Things by She Wants Revenge to me is a full out all SKU series, I think each charecter has a little peice of the song.  I'm going to make a AMV for it once I learn how.

These Things

There is nothing to see here people keep moving on
Slowly their necks turn and then they're gone
No one cares when the show is done

Standing in line and its cold and you want to go
Remember a joke so you turn around
There is no one to listen so you laugh by yourself

[Chorus:]
I heard it's cold out, but her popsicle melts
She's in the bathroom, she pleasures herself
Says I'm a bad man, she's locking me out
It's cause of these things, it's cause of these things

Let make a fast plan, watch it burn to the ground
I try to whisper, so no one figures it out
I'm not a bad man, I'm just overwhelmed
It's cause of these things, it's cause of these things

The crowd on the street walks slowly, don't mind the rain
Lovers hold hands to numb the pain,
Gripping tightly to something that they will never own

And those by themselves by choice or by some reward
No mistakes only now you're bored
This is the time of your life but you just can't tell

[Chorus 2.5X]

Edit: Frosty, you have excllent taste in music!

Twirling round with this familiar parabol
Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and
Celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing

Re: Themesongs for characters!

I can't remember the title or artist, but I do remember some lyrics that reminded me of Anthy and Akio's relationship. It could even be taken as Anthy's point of view on any of the other characters...

I'm on the outside
and I'm looking in.
I can see through you,
See to the real you.
Inside you're ugly...
You're ugly like me.
I can see through you,
see through the real you.


Does anyone know what this song is?

Re: Themesongs for characters!

I found the absolute perfect song for Touga and Kozue. No other song could possibly fit them better. This is the end all of theme songs. I dare you to find a more fitting duet. I DARE you.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=BPKAe0IiDsg


"You said you would do anything for me, right Mamiya?" Mikage purred as he slithered close. "Yes that's right" Mamiya said with a rosey blush. Mikage's smile was evil and cinister as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a banana. "Eeny meeny myny moo. I wonder where my banana will go?" - The Forbidden Passions of Nemuro

Re: Themesongs for characters!

For those of you who listen to Pet Shop Boys, they have this song called "This must be the place I waited years to leave" that I think fits Mikage pretty well.

Each morning after Sunblest
Feel the benefit, mental arithmetic
I waited by the staffroom
In time for benediction
Living a law just short of delusion
When we fall in love there's confusion
This must be the place I waited years to leave

To our voices nobody's listening
We shiver in the rain by the touchline
Then a coach ride to the station
"My lord, the carriage awaiteth!"
Living a law just short of delusion
When we fall in love there's confusion
This must be the place I waited years to leave
This must be the place I waited years to leave
And how
How long?

I'm listening to the words I thought I'd never hear again
A litany of saints and other ordinary men
Kneeling on the parquet
Whatever has gone wrong?
The fear and feeling hopelessness
I don't want to belong

I dreamt I was back in uniform
And a candidate for examination
History, someone had blundered
And a voice rapped knuckle under
Living a law just short of delusion
When we fall in love there's confusion
This must be the place I waited years to leave
This must be the place I waited years to leave
And how
And how
How long?


"Momma, I'm scared of Peter Pan!" "We all are, honey."

Re: Themesongs for characters!

OH SNAP. I was listening to Dope Stars Inc. today, and I don't know why this song never jumped out at me before as the perfect Anthy/Akio song. (I started putting this in the AMV idea thread, but I doubt anyone would ever want to see this as an AMV anyway, so I figured this would be more fitting.)

Kiss by Dope Stars Inc.
You'll never understand
The meaning in the end
We're standing at the gate
You'll meet the darker fate...

I'm on my knees
I beg your mercy
My soul is my loss
I'm well hung from your cross

Take me
Take me in your arms my love and rape me
Don't hide behind your rage
I know you love me
And always will

Your purity and rage
Your passion and your hate
You promised more than bliss
With your God and with your kiss

I'm on my knees
I beg your mercy
My soul is my loss
I'm well hung from your cross

Take me
Take me in your arms my love and rape me
Don't hide behind your rage
I know you love me
And always will

I'm on my knees
I beg your mercy
My soul is my loss
I'm well hung from your cross

Take me
Take me in your arms my love and rape me
Don't hide behind your rage
I know you love me
And always will

You're my possession
Of that, my love, there really is no question
Don't hide behind your rage
I know you love me
And always will...

My better half, it's true
Has seen the darker side of you
Innocence stripped away
At least I've the brighter fate


ah, man does not exist; ah, within the darkness; ah, the sound of the waves
