Light Novels should be adapted as Movies rather then TV shows more often.

This week's #ThursdayFiveList, courtesy of @neurothing , will have songs with the theme of #TheShadows. The genres within this list vary between heavy metal, jrock, jpop, and even obscure songs.

Myth & Roid - Shadowgraph
YouTube (Official MV): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epz9O3OStZM
Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1B0HA8uX2OMfWBCqkPDs9T

This is an opening theme song to Boogiepop & Others. This song does well on reflecting the primary cast of characters and the complexity behind people's thoughts and actions.

Yousei Teitoku - Shadow Corps
YouTube (Offical MV): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr7hSCtcd6Y
Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1yWBY7v0eGStMMiA9UPyeM
Translation (Unofficial): https://www.jpopasia.com/youseiteikoku/lyrics/290191/shadow-corpse/shadow-corps/

This is a about (or at least how I interpret it) a kingdom is being razed where a scared king attempts to fan the flames against a coup d'etat.

Nishizawa Shiena - Light & Shadow
YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvSydfoRmg4
Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/6AZUX0aeww63C8z4XSVE67
Translation (unofficial): https://myjpop.jspinyin.net/lyrics-%E8%A5%BF%E6%B2%A2%E5%B9%B8%E5%A5%8F-light-and-shadow-%E6%AD%8C%E8%A9%9E/

This song feels like it's about overcoming difficulties and acknowledging the shadow walking alongside you.

Momori - Togameru Kage (咎める翳)
YouTube (unofficial): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVGylz8faW0
Wordpress Translation (unofficial): https://mirrorofparanoia.wordpress.com/2012/05/24/togameru-kage-the-root-of-heads/

A mix of multiple meanings (while the literal translation is "Blamed Shadows", it's better interpreted as "Who to blame"), it is a song that feels like a cry of sorrows on something traumatic.

Diao ye zong (凋叶棕) feat. Meramipop - Karakurenai no Kage (からくれなゐの影)
YouTube (Unofficial): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCQ7WuYXIHg
Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/48M7uujYm16G37XM4g15Ns
Translation (Unofficial): https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Lyrics:_%E3%81%8B%E3%82%89%E3%81%8F%E3%82%8C%E3%81%AA%E3%82%90%E3%81%AE%E5%BD%B1

A song that tells a story about one of the characters in Touhou, Reimu. Translating the title would be "The Crimson Shadow"

Anime Video Review: Boogiepop & Others (2019)

2019, 3 years ago, was the first time that the Boogiepop novels had gotten an anime adaptation. It's time for me to give my thoughts before I get into the earlier Boogiepop anime series.
