Ummm…so I don’t think my last post went over all that well. Hopefully you all like this one better! So the theme of this post is as though I were suddenly in charge of finding the score for a shoujo anime, complete with the standard troubles and tribulations that a couple would go through.

Kimi Dake – Teppei Koike
Japanese| Pop
I think this would be good as an opening theme. It’s heartfelt, and could easily be edited into a 30-second opening showcasing each of the characters: the boy who’s longing to see the girl and the girl who he loves. And then, the lyrics allude to the stuff they’d have to go through.

My Man – Davichi
Korean | Pop
Oddly enough, I had never even listened to Davichi. In a lot of ways it does express how a girl feels when she’s finally set on a particular guy. There’s that upbeat, happy kind of thinking that everything will work out fine. The beat is catchy and the song is relatively simple but still a good one to listen to.

Why I Like You – Super Junior
Korean | Pop
I think this would be a good background song, especially during the happy times in the fictional anime. It’s upbeat and definitely focuses on the good times of the story, the happiness that everyone experiences when they first fall in love.

If – Tae Yeon
Korean | Ballad
There isn’t anything overly memorable about the song that I can think of, but the theme of being so silly that you let the person you love walk away from you is a great one to have. The song is heartfelt but not overly sappy. It doesn’t sound like she’s about to ball her eyes out, but it does make you think that she regrets what she did.

널 붙잡을 노래 – Rain
Korean | Ballad
Okay, I couldn’t help but end this rotation with this song. It’s sad and heartfelt. Now, it always takes two to break up a relationship: one to actually do the breaking up and the other accepts the break. In this case, Rain doesn’t seem to accept things but he can’t seem to do anything about it except wish for the girl to come back. It would be a good song to end with, although I do think it might be harder to cut it down to the usual ending theme length without losing some of the song’s meaning.

VACATION!
I was busy with my exams last week so I couldn’t upload anything..but now I’m done with everything, so you can expect more updates. ^.^

Rotation 14 is, again, summer themed. I also included my picks, which are new releases too.

~Chayenne


SweetS
Lolita Strawberry in Summer
Japanese

SweetS was a girlgroup with 5 members. They disbanded in June 2006
This song is from their first single. Their voices are pretty high-pitched, which makes this song more cute.


WaT
Hava Rava
Japanese

The beginning of the song is kinda slow..so I thought it would stay that way. But it doesn’t. It’s more upbeat and really cute.


Teppei Koike
Sweet Summer
Japanese

More Teppei! I really can’t believe he’s in his twenties already..he sounds like a fiveteen years old ._.
Anyway, this song is from his first solo album pieces and he wrote all the songs himself. He hasn’t got the best voice ever, but it suits this song.


TVXQ
Hi Ya Ya
Summer Dream
Korean/Japanese

Hi Ya Ya was the first TVXQ song I’ve ever heard! This’ll definitely give you a summer feeling! It’s a cover of Perfect Tragedy, a song by Don Kenneth Ramage. I like TVXQ's version better though.


Yuna Ito
Mahaloha
Japanese

Mahaloha is a nice song and it’s got a Hawaiian feeling in it. The male is Mirco (Nishimiya Yuki) from Def Tech. I don’t like his voice much as when he sings alone, but they sound nice together.


Otsuka Ai
Peach
Japanese

Peach was used as the ending theme for the Japanese drama Hanazakari no Kimitachi e. I decided to upload this because I LOVE eating peaches in the summer. The song itself isn’t really great..but I really like Ai-chans’ sweet songs! I always get in a good mood after listening to this.


Yui – Summer Song (single)
01. Summer Song
02. Oh My God
03. Laugh Away ~Yui Acoustic Version~
Japanese

YUI’s got such a sweet, typical Japanese voice, which I really like. Summer Song was aired on the last episode of YUI locks (May 29th). Summer Song and Oh My God are two upbeat songs with nice guitar work as always. This single also includes the acoustic version of Laugh Away, to promote her last album I LOVED YESTERDAY. You can look at Haruhi's past rotation for the normal version.

My picks


F.T. Island - Soyogi (album)
01. Friendship
02. ミライジテンシャ (Mirai Jitensha)
03. Soyogi
04. Stars
05. A song for You
06. F.T. Island
07. Primadonna
08. Always be Mine
Korean/Japanese/English

F.T. Islands’ first Japanese album! Their Japanese sounds really good, better than Big Bangs’ Japanese.
All the songs are really catchy and WonBin sings a lot more in this album, which is good because I like his voice. F.T. Island and Primadonna are sung in Korean and Always be Mine is the English version of 첫키스. HongKi’s English is so cute and so is the lyrics! He keeps saying everting :3


TVXQ
Doushite Kimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimattan Darou
Japanese

I really, really LOVE this song! It has such a beautiful melody and their voices sound so good. Especially JaeJoongs’.. This is highly recommended!
Oh by the way, it’s not the best quality and there’s a silence at the beginning, so I’ll update this one if there’s a better version.

Don't forget to comment please!
