Amusingly since the #ThursdayFiveList has a theme of #TheBlue, I shall use it to link music from anime with "Blue" in the name since there's like 50 of that for some reason. Some giving two blues for the price of one! "Savior of Song" by Nano - Arpeggio of Blue Steel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2uqpqrYmMY "EVERBLUE" by Omoinotake - Blue Period https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92ylxOeT1_g "Season" by M-Voice - Perfect Blue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsVsmWHBw6w "Blue Water" by Miho Morikawa - Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsiFTDCh8H0 This scene from Liz and the Blue Bird which is just to unbelievably great you don't even know, seriously holy crap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnvpIX_193I

"...this #ThursdayFiveList all about #MovieSongs. Songs from a movie or movie soundtrack, or a song that references a movie in some way. You choose."

"My Generation" by The Who - Kingsman: The Golden Circle - also

I... uh... wanted to find songs I could tie to an EN movie and hide a JP movie inside, but frankly I think I'm tapped out at just that one! 😝 Either the EN or the JP is a TV show instead, from the other stuff I can connect to. Bah

SO FINE

The #ThursdayFiveList this week is about #falling so you know what THAT means….

Sawano Drops!

Mkaliez - Aldnoah.Zero - https://youtu.be/ZmbUxjXLSdE?si=igrRFBIHYSRfQJmD (this one dropped a whole damn colony)

Vigilante - Gundam Narrative - https://youtu.be/6pzVkvrXCHI?si=9qNWakoqAXMr1zkz

Can I turn this day into an extended exploration of Sawano Drops?

Surely we can try!

#ThursdayFiveList #falling

So wherein was “my first time” probably…?

One assumes Kill la Kill, so that means…. Kiryu G@ Ki Ll? https://youtu.be/VTiYdpeHIv4?si=xn0J5tB_cRzmujmG (this track names, man😝)

…but how high is current quality, and can it OP?

https://animethemes.moe/anime/mecha_ude_tv/OP1

Looks like all engines still go!

Of course it could always OP, probably as best-exemplified by Re:Creators. Should I drop gravityWall or sh0ut? BOTH, you say? WELL OK

https://animethemes.moe/anime/recreators/OP1-NCBD1080

https://animethemes.moe/anime/recreators/OP2-NCBD1080

I wonder how an early work like Zombie-Loan went? Soul Link? Might there be a drop-less past? 😱 I need to investigate further.

MEANwhile…

Of course @otakureview noted that if tumbling down doesn't get a mention, what are we doing here anyway?

THEREFORE

A normal five

The End Of Evangelion - Komm Süsser Tod - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kguaGI7aZg - It all comes tumb-a-ling down...

Falling Down - Oasis - the SPECIAL OP version

Fallen Angel by Mitsunori Ikeda ft. Aimee B

Fallin' (marina, VISUAL ARTS/Key - Charlotte insert song)

Snow Falling which I know is not the right season, but it's Kalafina and Kajiura and from Garden of SInners, and so

The End Of Evangelion - Komm Süsser Tod - Come Sweet Death (HQ)

Of course this was just a reprieve... today is about DROPPING!

Another Kill la Kill? Let us Blumenkranz! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRI5uW6DLXg&list=PLgBAXaMeVtyoPTxZCNM9zdX9ohYO8BZQ0&index=4

Are puppets immune to drops? Absolutely not! And so we Thunderboltfantasy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_TEgBHyqY4&list=PLRW80bBvVD3WhZkvlOqFnGIyBkNLAw_Ac

Someone will probably hurt me if I do not drop any 86, especially if I don't call to the EDs: https://animethemes.moe/anime/86/ED1 - https://animethemes.moe/anime/86/ED2

Possibly more if I don't drop something from Promare, and so WORLDBIGFLAMEUP

Is there such a thing as too much slapping?

Blumenkranz

...and the challenge mode is still up.

Can it Zombie-Loan?

Can it Soul Link?

It feels... nascent. But the predilection is nevertheless present.

It can certainly Guilty Crown

And doing the familiar in Blue Exorcist

...but how to end for now? What feels the most... Sawanodroppy, in concept?

I'm betting it's dude with a frickin' gun for his head

#ThursdayFiveList about #mythology you say?

Not in a position to be fancy, but I do have something mythological I love to push with WAY more than five tracks, so…

Want to know what Carmina Burana is all about? https://youtu.be/c-fcAMZE11g

Want to dig in?

https://youtu.be/Halo18XizGQ

Basically my favorite “work” (tend to separate things like “work” or “piece” or “song” or “album” or “track” so I can play varied favoritism ;-) ), so everyone getcha cantata on!

(Also that there is a https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kcgZZlW9nXT4CThNod94gNeZgIginzXZo&si=SQ22KehwPL9lBxyE of it is also fascinating.)

The Medieval Wheel of Fortune - Carmina Burana by Carl Orff.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

This #ThursdayFiveList involves #children so...

Tzurezure Children was short and sweet, blush-filled series of high school romances, and its OP by Inori Minase conveys that well.

I have not started SANDA yet, which is broadcasting currently, but it is Science SARU, so surely worth a shot. Its OP, Adult Chick Children is kind of a banger. Not the lightest of subject matter, but stylistic, and with solid drive.

Osomatsu-san weird fun, with Otona÷6 x Kodomo x 6

Children of the Whales OP, "Sono Saki e"

Kodomo no Omochi has one of the OP of all time. Learn it! Love it! Collect all the weirdest hats!

Since the #ThursdayFiveList involves #RainyDayMusic there is one thing I MUST include, and... I guess I'll find four more right now!

Let's start with a pleasant little Summer Rain, OP from Cross Game (READ CROSS GAME WATCH CROSS GAME)

Perhaps you might enjoy receiving a Rain-Kissed Bouquet, OP2 from Yawara (Be a fashionable judo girl!)

Probably lots know THIS Rain quite well... (FMA:B)

With some BITTER RAIN entering in the back half. (Lupin Part VI, ED2)

...but the best ED of all time is simple. It's Gonna Rain!

Bonus non-rain name but rain/umbrella-themed excellence from Chime. FuRuBa firing on all cylinders.

This week’s #ThursdayFiveList theme is #GenreQuintessance — five tracks that perfectly represent their genre, that make you go "yup, that's definitely [that genre]" when you hear them.

And since I'm not sure how I want to weeb it up yet, and classical is far too broad... I'm'a gonna "Big Band Jazz"

It Don't Mean a Thing - Duke Ellington

In the Mood - Glenn Miller

The Jumpin Jive - Cab Calloway

Sing, Sing, Sing - Benny Goodman

Jumpin' at the Woodside - Count Basie

Duke Ellington - It don't mean a thing (1943)

Duke Ellington and his orchestra playing this awesome tune in 1943."It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" is a 1931 composition by Duke Ellingt...

This week's #ThursdayFiveList has a theme of #TheShortestSongs

I'm not sure I can build meaningfully to five, but the first that comes to mind Is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8pE-0ufsfA

...at ~20 seconds

Not sure I'm going to want to chase down anything else that short, but I'll go on the hunt later.

I guess let's see what Beethoven had to offer.

...and a little Chopin

Jazz is difficult in this regard, but let's see how Roland Kirk does

And to end, of course, Monty Python reminds us that We've Got Two Legs

"Weird Al" Yankovic - Harvey the Wonder Hamster

YouTube

Today's #ThursdayFiveList them is #ForeignAffairs "songs in a language that isn't your first language"

And... first off, considering what I almost always post anyway, let me just go 😝 🤣 😝

So what should I do as a challenge instead? Hm. Let us try to map out five songs from different languages, and no Japanese.

#1 starts big-big, with the beginning of my favorite work of all time, O Fortuna - Carmina Burana - Latin

#2 shifts small with Le temps de la rentrée (IKYKY)

#3 did you know The Girl from Ipanema is best in its original Portuguese? Garota de Ipanema?

#4 goes OTYKEN, like, Chulym

#5 Daler MendhI remains fascinating
