Live Anime Themes

Post by **Kassidy** » Fri May 04, 2007 11:53 pm

So a while back on another board I frequent (Spanish Geek Kingdoms) I did a post covering a few anime theme songs. Basically, I'd take, let's say, Melissa (Full Metal Alchemist Opening 1), link the original opening, a dub or two, the music video by the original band, and any live performances I found. Sadly, the live performance for this one in question was taken down by the YouTube Nazis.

Anyway, on to my point, I started searching through the Tubes to find Live Performances of Anime Themes by their Original Artists (seyuu, is that the right word?), and lo and behold there happen to be a few. I was particularily happy to find Successful Mission by Hayashibara, since I just finished binjing on Saber Marionette J (from what I've seen of the OVAs and JtoX, I'm probably best off leaving my viewing at the one series). Anyway, anyone else find any interesting ones?

Note, I don't mean fan covers, music videos, anime music videos, or the opening sequences themselves.

Hey,

That's pretty cool! If you happen to find Samurai Champloo's theme please pass it along.

Peace,

Hee hee,

Sorry Sheexy, I didn't mean to make you spend more money.

By the way, why isn't there a sad face Rabite that occurs automatically when you make a :( ?

Just curious,

Do you mean Battle Cry by Shing02?

Post by **manaman** » Sat May 05, 2007 12:31 am

Yes,

That's the one, Kassidy. I have the recording of it, I just have never even thought of seeing it live.

Maybe you might find it?

Peace,

manaman

Hmmm, I can manage an ending theme for it. Opening I haven't had any luck yet.

KASSIDY!

YES!

This is one of my favorite songs!
Ahhh!

I wonder if we can find "Who's Theme" by her... that one is even more amazing

EDIT:
Aww man, this doesn't sound half as good as I thought it would ...
At the beginning at least...

Hey Kassidy,

That's freakin' awesome! I LOVE the ending theme actually even better than the intro theme. Thanks a ton. The opening, of course, would be cool as well.

Thanks a million,

manaman

Their nicely done except that they kind of tend to over exaggerate like in the DBZ one, it's good non the less though. Heh, I've also seen my avatar's little pop up, funny. Say, did you already post the youtube link for the Fullmetal Alchemist 1st opening theme? I love that anime and songs, as well as many others. Are there any more like this Kassidy?

Edit: Darn, I see that you've said it was taken down... I've also seen many clips from youtube taken down like that unfortunetly.
