My finds tonight!
Feb. 20th, 2006 02:24 amFor your listening pleasure:
Eyeshield 21 - SONG FIELD 4 - Sakuraba Haruto (Miyano Mamoru) - Make My Way
Eyeshield 21- SONG FIELD 5 - Shin Seijuro (Gomoto Naoya) - Atarashii Kaze
Eyeshield 21 - SONG FIELD 6 - Taki Suzuna (Nakagawa Shouko) - Go For it!!
Listening the cast messages, I really wish I knew what they were saying. Miyano Mamoru sounded so embarrassed and so bashful when he was talking about Naoyan and I swear at some point Miyano said Naoyan was cool. He's so happy in his cast message which fits what I remember of him from Tenimyu. I laughed when he said "Shin wa Gomoto Naoya, NE?" So cute! It was as though he thought everyone listening would know this already.
And listening to Naoyan's cast message again, he DOES talk about Miyano too! ^^ I didn't understand a thing though... :( But I was able to recognize names at least...
Still, it's cool. I liked it a lot. ^^ I mean they knew each other back from Tenimyu and now they're collaborating on Eyeshield together... It's neat to hear them talking about each other. :)
Taki Suzuna's song, Go for It!!! sung by Nakagawa Shouko. She doesn't have anything to do with Tenimyu (not that I know of) so she wasn't as fun to listening to but... I have yet to listen to her cast message but I will. If she talks about Naoyan or Miyano, well, aside from recognizing their names I doubt I'll be able to pick anything else out of it. The song itself is...genki. But it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I mean her character is just kinda excitable and happy and full of energy so I kinda thought her character single would be the same and the very beginning kinda supports that idea but it's not as genki as it could be. I've definitely have heard worse. It's not something I would listen to for long lengths since it is a bit too happy for me and I'd probably go nuts but it's a pretty good character single over all. I just don't usually go for female vocals...
Atarashii Kaze however, is a different story. Naoyan is singing more or less singing with his own voice rather than Shin's ultra deep voice which makes it a better song. I couldn't imagine how a song with Shin's voice would sound like... o.O That would be weird.
The song itself, well, I wouldn't call it a happy song but it's not an unhappy song either... There's a hint of the whole knights and the middle ages with the organs (electric organs?) in the beginning but I found that once the guitars and drums came in that it made for a very neat sound in the background. His voice, well, I have much love for it. I don't know what the song is about but it doesn't matter because it just sounds like a good song. Usually it's the chorus of a song that hooks me, most of the time because it's replayed so many times but in this song I kinda liked the rest of the lyrics better. But I have to admit, that one part of the chorus where he's punctuated by the organs is absolutely wonderful.
As for Miyano Mamoru's song... Well, I had downloaded Naoyan's Atarashii Kaze first and totally fell in love with it. And since it was the 5th SONG FIELD, I immediately felt like I was missing a part of myself without the 4th when I already had 1-3 in my collection. I am a collector at heart, always. I just had to have it. So I went to #aznmp3 and found someone who was serving the songs. It was only one person and he had Tazuna's too so I felt like I had hit the jackpot.
I loved Sakuraba from Eyeshield. And Miyano as Sakuraba just made him so much more endearing. And when I listened to Make My Way, well, I just fell in love again. I love Miyano's voice and I love the song. It's so hopeful and pure and so Sakuraba when he says "I'm going to make my way, I'm going to never stop" that my heart just went out to him.
I liked Atarashii Kaze for it's depth and it's touch of hardness/harshness and darkness but I like Make my way for slightly opposite reasons -- it's a fun, hopeful, happy song that is a bit lighter. It's hard to classify them... I mean the song for Atarashii is definitely a bit less light than Make my way from the instruments used and the way it's sung... But Naoyan's rendition of it softens the song. Just as you can't just count Make My Way as a wishy-washy happy song because there's this definition vein of determination that Miyano taps into. I think Make My Way might be a bit easier on the ears but Atarashii Kaze has the features of a song that I like. Overall, I like both of them... I was going to say I liked one over the other but after listening to them again and trying to sort out my feelings for the two songs, I just can't choose! They're both good and I like both of them to the point where it's not as though one is better than the other.
Anyway, I'll leave these up for people to download. I enjoyed them immensely, especially the cast messages which are definitely a laugh. ^^
Oh! I just had a thought -- wouldn't it be great if there was an Eyeshield musical where Naoyan and Miyano played their respective parts? I think it would cool to conserve those voices. But it'll never happen so it's just a neat thought though.
