I’ve Sound have some weirdass song titles. Just saying.
Yuki over at I’ve Sound Blog posted the news about KOTOKO’s latest song. The song is the theme song for BALDRSKY Dive2 and is called… jihad.
Yes, believe it or not KOTOKO’s latest song is named after a controversial Islamic term. The short version of the song doesn’t sound bad at all, but… why that term, out of all the random wikipedia pages?
While I find I’ve Sound have always had a history of bizarre titles (The penchant for Botany related terms is something I picked up on – song titles such as Lythrum, Meconopsis, Oxisols exist plus strange things like Everything is assumed to be connected, intron tone, Vacillate, Scheherazade), this one just makes me scratch my head more than usual.
So in some sort of experiment to satisfy my curiosity, this is a meme that I plucked off livejournal which uses the Special:Random page over at wikipedia to generate an album and some songs. Will it resemble anything particularly I’ve Sound-ish? Let’s see.
I’ve Sound Blog Has A Karaoke Competition: Brace Yourselves
Aibu over at I’ve Sound Blog is having a karaoke contest! For those of you who don’t mind embarrassing themselves by singing an I’ve song for all the readers of Aibu’s blog to gape over, this competition is for you.
The songs are restricted to those that are explicitly linked to I’ve Sound. (So if you really wanted to, you could sing C.G. mix’s under the darkness and pretend that you are a bishounen born from… under the darkness.)
I have decided that one way or another, I will be taking part in this contest. For the actual entry specifics, here’s the entry in which this is being discussed (I can’t believe I forgot about that, thanks Aibu for reminding me.)
It is proving to be complete fun finding a song for me to actually sing. I’ve found myself eliminating most MELL songs for reasons stated previously.
The more I look it, the more I find it more likely that I am going to sing a KOTOKO song. While I’d like to keep my most likely choices to myself for a bit of a surprise for the readers of I’ve Sound Blog, the one song I would have probably wanted to do would be KOTOKO’s Suppuration or Suppuration -core-, neither of which have a karaoke or instrumental version.
But in any instance, I’m off to practise two or three songs and see what works best. Of course, as this contest progresses, I will keep this blog updated.
