Hi, everyone. I was thinking of posting a few samples of music from every folder on my PC on occasion to kind of maybe give you a glimpse of my personality from the specific songs I am attracted to. ^-^ I encourage anyone else to post from their personal collections, too.
The way my collection works is that I have a folder on a huge secondary hard drive named SK's Music. It must be, oh, over 300 gigs in size, now, mostly due to YouTube videos of random things in one particular subfolder that is not necessarily dedicated to music but other stuff like comedy sketches and funny critical reviews of games and movies that I find on YT. But there are about 30 subfolders in all for just audio files of music of all kinds. Depending on the number of files in each subfolder, I will post a sample from YouTube (if I can find th esong on there without it being blocked) anywhere from one or two to five or six to represent each subfolder, so you can have a good glimpse into the kind of stuff I have tucked away in my music box. (Yes, downloaded from YouTube, bought as an mp3, but nothing as a result of pirating since I quit that habit a long time ago.) These subfolders will be listed in alphabetical order as they appear on my PC. 'Like my things neat and orderly.
So, here I go with Part 1 of SK's Music Box =>
From "Air TV" Folder:
Air was a strange and hard-to-follow but somehow pleasant anime with many a likable character. About this wandering guy with a peculiar ability for puppeteering who stumbles upon a harbor town whose inhabitants - each with their own personal mental and emotional problems - really change the course of his life over a magical summer season.
First and foremost here is the tv series ending theme, the "Farewell Song", probably my most favorite song in Japanese of all time.
This is a non-vocal song that plays, if I remember, correctly when the male protagonist meets the first friend he'll make in this new town, a friendly autistic girl named Misuzu, easily one of the most likable characters in the anime I have seen (although that isn't a very high bar to set =P )
____________
From "Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon" Folder:
While secular music from the pop or rock genres are grouped more generally together, a lot of the subfolders in SK's Music Box are reserved for individual anime I either still really like, or know from my past and long-realized were silly but still have great music. This is an example of the latter. ^-^
This is the rendition of "Heart Moving" that is found on the Sailor Moon Orgel Fantasia CD. "Orgel Fantasia is a Sailor Moon anime CD that contained music from the anime series arranged for the celesta" (quoted from Wikia). I don't know what that means in musical terms, actually; I just know that the songs on this CD are pleasant to hear.
The opening theme in Japanese to Sailor Moon Stars, a season I never saw as a kid because I think only the first two of five or six seasons total ever made it to the U.S. in the 90's.
And finally, perhaps my favorite vocal song from this anime,
______________
From "Cardcaptor Sakura" Folder:
Unfortunately none of the songs from the OST I could find on YouTube in their original forms. I guess it's one of those things that just gets blocked on copyright grounds or whatever. So these three songs below are all vocal.
"Tooi Kono Machi de" (perhaps my second favorite song in all of anime) =>
Tooi kono machi de Naomi - SCC (sub español + roma)
"I am a Dreamer" (in third place, right after "Tooi Kono Machi de" ) =>
Sakura Cardcaptor - I Am A Dreamer
Also, this one is a song from a
CD I happened across by sheer accident one time during college, in some out-of-the-way comics store, where apparently the female cast of Cardcaptor Sakura put on a Christmas concert or something at their school =>
Maria no Komoriuta
____________
And now we finally get to a folder for something other than anime music. It's from video games, now.
From "Chrono Cross/Chrono Trigger":
Chrono Cross turned out to be a disappointing game in the very end mostly due to its story and cast of characters that were 80% useless and inconsequential, but one tremendous strength it always had was its musical score. Even better music overall than its predecessor Chrono Trigger.
Chrono Cross OST - Another Arni
Chrono Cross OST - Reminiscence
Chrono Cross OST - Dimension Breach
Chrono Trigger - Memories of Green

Whew. That's enough for now. More to come later.
Again, I encourage everyone to post their own music collection if they so desire.
