#english and japanese theme songs

Y’all ever think about how when rouge confronted shadow over the biolizard she asked him “what are you”
Than the scene right after shadow turns around and asks sonic “what are you” after learning he can use chao control
Chaos control, which is like the one common denominator between him and the biolizard
And THATS when sonic says what you see is that you get ?? Just a guy who loves adventure
Cause I do man
#sonic#shadow the hedgehog#sonic the hedgehog#StH#shadow: wtf r u#sonic: :)#also the stage theme between the two is just shadow being like having an crisis over it lol#SA2 is funny cause the localization is WAY more obscure from the original Japanese version#but if you grew up with the Japanese localization all the songs are still in English so u miss out on half the characterization agdhsh#also the English lines kick more ass it’s true#and if sonic is not constantly interrupting shadow all the time what even is the point

I made a spotify playlist for one of my fav Silm fics of all time "A Thread Unraveled" by ScribeofArda on Ao3 or @theheirofashandfire here on tumblr
Summary of fic: "Maedhros wakes up again, on the first morning of the Nirnaeth Arnoediad.
Of course, nobody calls it that. For them, it hasn't happened yet."
The paylist follows the general vibe of the narrative: Maedhros' realization of the cycles, his struggles, his saving grace, and his determination to succeed in battle with his loved ones alive no matter how many times he has to get back up and try again. The songs genre is mostly: indie, folk, with some musical numbers thrown in because honestly, its not one of my playlists without a musical song or two
This is a brilliant fic so if you havent read it already i would reccomend! It's also an ongoing series and I've probably read the entire thing over a dozen times, its really become one of my favourite comfort fics/series of all time.
#fic recs#silmarillion#maedhros#russingon#fingon#a thread unraveled#threadverse#playlist#i forced some of my friends to help me pick songs and i think it turned out well#ill still probably play around with it like i do with all my playlists and add songs or take them away as time goes on#but this one isnt bad the song flow is a lot better than when i started#i love that cover of bad apple and the english lyrics fit so well but damn did the half japanese lyrics feel jarring#when compared to all the other songs :/ a huge shame#im also still not fully sold on the deadpool song it might vanish in a couple days but its safe for now#this all started cause i was listening to fernando by abba and was like this is the perfect russingon reunion theme in threadverse#Spotify

oh my GOD funniest thing abt bravern is smith sucking at japanese cause like. that leaves bravern with one of two options. option one is that whatever universal translator function he acquired to be able to speak german (?) ALSO let him speak japanese however my guy was still going around saying shit like “japan!” and “soulmates” in english and ALSO ALSO whatever tf was going on with his omiai declaration 😭 but OPTION TWO is that he was still fucking around talking in english and throwing in broken japanese whenever he could and isami was just there like. damn i really miss smith. sometimes i still hear his voice. because this robot has the same exact vocabulary. anyways
#AND IS HIS THEME SONG IN JAPANESE OR ENGLISH?????? I NEED TO KNOW#FNDNFJDJDN. everytime i think this show cannot get more wild it DOES#there could be more options too but these are just making me laugh 😭#also this reinforces my idea that if they dub this show. azkm should just voice smith in english too#his delivery is so good!!!!! it would be so good!!!!!!#a: bravern#bravern spoilers#t.bbbb#WHAT IF SOMEONE LOVED YOU SO MUCH TJEY BECAME GERMAN. BUT NOT JAPANESE#ch: lewis smith#ch: bravern

Sometimes I think of the difference between Yu-Gi-Oh and Kingdom Hearts in term of storytelling. (Like ygo is my current hyperfixation but KH will always be somewhere in the back of my mind.)
On one hand, you have ygo. It has so many incoherences and plot holes. The story works and they won't bother you until you think about them, but it leaves a lot of stuff free of interpretation for the reader. It's nice because it gives you a lot of things to explore in fanwork.
On another hand, you have Kingdom Hearts. Everything single details is thought, planned. Everything is a clue, the smallest thing is an answer. Nomura has a story to tell and he knows what he is doing. But to understand whatever is going in this man's brain you have to put the whole fandom together and read whole essays that will dissect all the parallels and symbolisms in the story. You miss one game? Well, too bad. You will probably don't understand a thing happening anymore. Side games? There is no side game. You have to play all 14 freaking games to get the story. Even the gacha games on mobile. Yes. Even the rhythm game. Yes. Even the freaking opera tour can give you clues. A new game gives you answers? It brings you x10 more questions. You will hurt yourself trying to understand Kingdom Hearts and nothing can prepare you for it. AND WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE NEW GAME WE WILL NEVER BE FREEJGKGKFKKF
(Sorry I didn't mean to get this worked up.)
#turns out I'm still not normal about KH#Who wanna sing Simple and Clean with me?#WHEN YOU WALK AWAY YOU DON'T HEAR ME SAY-#oh yes even the theme songs can be clues and they have different meanings in Japanese and English so you better listen to the two versions

月を見ていた (Moongazing)
米津玄師 (Kenshi Yonezu)
Moonlit, the willow trees sway;
I’m a pebble by the roadside
Like counting sheep, my thoughts were of you, so far away
If there’s meaning to this parting,
Don’t mourn for it, at the very least
Onwards to the unquiet sky, filled with unwavering love
No matter what the night brings, even through continued losses
We lived together, though it was but fleeting
I was gazing at the moon, searching for something
When I was frightened by the storm,
I’m glad that it was you who appeared before me
As though everything had never happened
I know, surely, this flame will never die out
Should the wind beat upon the window,
Leave it ajar
Just one thing; yes, but one thing
Cry out in a voice beyond words
Should I be reborn, should I not remember,
I know I’ll find my way back to you
I was gazing at the moon, having set it all ablaze
Even if some found it pitiful,
I was happy as long as you were there
Even if it were far from being right,
It will not be extinguished
Call my name, just once more
In the gentle embrace of your soft voice
With the moon my guide, the bough I held on to was you
It was you...
I was gazing at the moon, searching for something
When I was frightened by the storm,
I’m glad that it was you who appeared before me
As though everything had never happened
I know, surely, this flame will never die out

With the popularity of Planet of the Bass I've noticed a lot of people getting eurobeat and eurodance confused. This is understandable but also REALLY funny to me as a eurobeat girlie. Reigning Eurobeat queen Odyssey (you may know her as the girl behind "Discord I'm howlin at the moon") has a good Twitter thread on the subject, but to add my own summary that's hopefully not too jargon-y:
It's PROBABLY EUROBEAT if:
Main lyrical themes are cars/driving/going Very Fast, Touhou, My Little Pony, or Japan (though the latter is more of a grey area since Japan comes up as a theme in some eurodance as well)
Between every verse is a synthesizer riff that sounds too fast to ever possibly be played live by human hands
There's a section where all but the last word or so of every line is omitted (this is where "dancing, we wanna feel the light is flashing, I send the power to myself" becomes "dancing... flashing... to myself")
There's an electric guitar solo (may or may not be synthesized)
The rhythm is a straight four-on-the-floor beat, aka it sounds like WOMP WOMP WOMP WOMP
There's car vroom vroom sound effects
It's PROBABLY EURODANCE (at least as opposed to eurobeat) if:
There's a rapper
Themes include world peace or partying (there are SOME party eurobeat songs but not as many, and it's not like eurobeat is pro-war, they're just driving too fast to think about it)
It's more downtempo
The rhythm is a shuffle beat, aka it sounds like WA-WOMP WA-WOMP
It's in a language other than English or Japanese
It's DEFINITELY eurobeat if:
The YouTube thumbnail looks like this or otherwise involves an anime character and a car
Eurobeat songs you may know include Running in the 90s, Deja Vu, Gas Gas Gas, The Top, Night of Fire, and an honorable mention to The Living Tombstone's remix of Odyssey's eurobeat remix of Discord.
Eurodance songs you may know include Every Time We Touch, Butterfly, Caramelldansen, Cotton-Eye Joe (yes, really!), Dragostea Din Tei, and Blue.
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!!

Tsukasa and Rui are known collectively amongst their classmates as "Oddball 1-2 Finish" (in the JP, KR, and TW servers. The English localisation calls them "Weirdo Wombo Combo"). Due to this, they are frequently asociated with the numbers 1, 2 and any combination or variation of the two (12, 21, etc), both individually and as a duo.
In terms of cover songs, there's Telecaster B-Boy, where they sing the counting part at the beginning. Tsukasa says the number 1, and Rui says the number 2. Tsukasa is Oddball 1, and Rui is Oddball 2.
There's also a lyric in Oki ni Mesu mama sung by Tsukasa, that goes "Waiting for the "1, 2..." signal, holding hands with you is an act of courage for me". Whilst the lyric itself is entirely coincidental, having Tsukasa sing it was very likely intentional. The cover supposedly represents the growth in trust between Tsukasa and Rui, so with that context in mind, one could view the lyric as a reference to Tsukasa reaching out his hand to Rui at the end of the main story, a significant step in the development of their mutual trust.
There's also a few instances of staff releasing content for them on the 21st of a month. Examples include the Fixer 2DMV, which released on September 21st 2023, and their 2022 Summer Memorial illustration releasing on the 21st of August that year. This was also the 12th illustration in that series.
Coincidentally (or maybe not), A Story Where You Are the Star released on the 22nd of November 2023, or 11/22, and featured them both as 4* cards on the accompanying gacha. The event was announced the day prior, on the 21st again.
Rui's 3rd Anniversary Countdown illustration depicted their pillow fight from A Once-In-A-Lifetime Pandemonium!?, an event focused on their relationship, and was released 12 days before the anniversary.
The OST that plays during their Romeo and Juliet rehearsal in KAMIKOU FESTIVAL!, Ma・Ai no Theme ~True Love Song~, was later reused in A Song of Vows for You, Dressed in Pure White and released on the 2nd OST Album alongside the other music from that event. However, instead of being listed with the other tracks from that event on the album, it's listed as track 12.
Them being in class 3-C is a pun based on their status as Oddball 1-2. C is pronounced as "shi" in Japanese, which is the same as how the Japanese word for four is pronounced. Tsukasa and Rui being in class 3-C makes 1 2 3 4. Additionally, 1+2=3, and if you apply A=1, B-2, so on, then this also applies to A (Tsukasa's original class) + B (Rui's original class) =C.
There's also various smaller references, such as the full combo for KING on expert being 1002, Tsukasa growing 1cm and Rui growing 2cm at the 3rd anniversary, as well as Tsukasa telling Rui in the main story that he'll put 12000% into any role Rui gives him. The 12000% quote was also referenced in the 2DMV for their Dappou Rock cover.
#i'm playing colopale at their own game if they're gonna keep up the 1-2 references then i'll 1-up them#(i'm running this joke into the ground on my first go so i never have to make it again)#project sekai#tsukasa tenma#rui kamishiro

Bridget is trans.
I've given up arguing. There is no argument to be made. There is no debate to be had. One side is objectively right, and one side is objectively wrong, and trying to both-sides it is, in the end, blatant transphobia.
Bridget is trans now. She outright says "I'm a girl", her outfit has a queer symbol instead of the male symbol she used to have, her theme song is one of the most trans songs I have ever heard period, the in-house translation done by Arc System Works themselves is so faithful to the original Japanese it might as well have been written in English first, she was shit rep for effeminate men and is now good rep for trans girls, and no amount of transphobic bellyaching is going to change any of that.
Either accept she's trans, or shut the fuck up. Your best argument is based on a 20 year old plot line that is still canon, just reframed in a new context, because Bridget is trans. Transphobes stay losing.

Music Spotlight: MIYAVI
Are you ready for a special Music Spotlight guest appearance? This week, we’re featuring popular singer/songwriter, guitarist, and actor MIYAVI to celebrate the release of his anime cover album MIYAVIVERSE. Check out our full interview below!
Tell us about your recent album, and what you hope fans take away from it.
The new one is an anime song cover album. We cover anime songs like Evangelion or Naruto or Hunter, classic ones. One of the reasons why we did that was because I am Japanese, so it’s great to relearn that content, and I’m sure so many of my fans will be familiar with those anime. It’s a fun process to bring those anime tracks to MIYAVI’s world. It’s a different kind of vibe—anime songs, J-pop. But once I start playing the guitar, it’s like the original universe of the sound—and that’s why we named the album MIYAVIVERSE. It doesn’t have to be only the anime songs—it’s more like when we covered ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’, or ‘Youth of the Nation,’ or other Japanese tracks as well. Obviously it’s MIYAVI’s sound, but it’s a fun process to do a cover.
Your 14th studio album is themed around hit anime songs—what would you consider your favorite anime of all time, and your favorite opening/ending song?
My favorite is Dragon Ball Z. I know, it’s too classic, but that’s the thing I was watching when I was young. And every anime lover is going to respect Dragon Ball Z. To be honest, it’s too hard to cover that song—we can do it, but I don’t know if it's doable to perform on stage in a cool way. So that’s why we gave that one up.
Your illustrious career spans the last 20 years and multiple mediums—what would you consider the highlight up until now? Are there any major moments of growth you can recall?
Yes, a lot. First of all, when I moved to Tokyo from Osaka when I was 17 years old. I was kind of beginning to start finding myself as an artist. And then I became a solo artist, and then, you know, I started focusing on the guitars, and people started calling me a guitarist—so what’s my name? And then, in 2008, I started going on world tours, learning English, and acted in the film Unbroken with Angelina Jolie—so of course, you know these are big moments. And then I became an ambassador for UNHCR—that’s huge.
If you could give your younger self advice on how to cope with the pressures of society, especially in the entertainment industry, what would you tell them? Would you give your kids that same advice?
First of all, keep going and polishing up your skill, what you have—you know—your talent. That’s everything in the end. Nothing else helps you. I still just keep telling myself that. You know, it’s not about the connection or relationship or, of course, personality is counted—it’s included. More than that, as an artist, what you can give to the world is everything—so just keep going. As long as you have "it".
What are your biggest passions outside of music and acting? Are there any hobbies you turn to when you need to destress?
I play games. It’s a great connection with my daughters. It’s a huge connection, and then even while I'm away from home, I can still communicate with my daughters. And then it’s great to have something you share with your family. At the same time, it consumes a lot of time. So that’s the thing—once we start playing, it’s like we keep playing because it’s fun, and we go crazy. But at the same time, time is time, and I do need to work. But that is the hard part, and it is working well for our relationship. It is also the same thing if you play soccer or basketball or sports, it’s kind of the same thing.
This year marks your 20th anniversary, and in that time, you’ve racked up an impressive list of accomplishments. Is there anything you haven’t done yet that you’ve always wanted to? And are there any opportunities you regret not taking?
Basically, there are no opportunities that I regret not taking because I take everything. I never miss opportunities, as you know. When schedule conflicts, and some things that I was not able to do, there are some of course. But, personally, I never missed any opportunities in my life—so there is no regret. But there are tons of things that I have not accomplished, and want to accomplish. We haven’t gotten any GRAMMYs. These are not everything you know, but that's a great goal to have—and I have to work harder to accomplish it.

Ace Attorney 456 Tokyo Game Show Information Masterpost
Since I haven't seen all the information collected in one place, this post SHOULD be a comprehensive review of everything revealed today - though please let me know if I missed anything important.
New Trailer and Release Date
youtube
We got a new trailer for the 456 collection, which covers (most of) what I'm going to say in this post, and a release date of January 25, 2024!
New Features
Language Support: These games are now available in seven languages: Japanese, English, French, German, Korean, and Traditional and Simplified Chinese, along with voice dubs for each of these. These are some of the first times some of the games (in particular 5 and 6) are officially translated to many of these languages.
DLC: The previously DLC-exclusive cases Turnabout Reclaimed and Turnabout Time Traveler will be added to the game for free, along with previously DLC-exclusive costumes. You can dress up Phoenix in the Tigre outfit from the beginning!
QOL: As well, any of the quality of life features from the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles have been added to the 456 collection. This includes an episode/chapter select unlocked from the start, so you can skip straight to your favorite sections, autoplay and story mode, and a backlog/history to review recent text.
Art Gallery: The game will also include an "art gallery" which includes concept art for the games. This will also include special artworks commissioned exclusively for this collection, some of which are unlocked after beating each game and unlocking each trilogy.
Orchestra Hall: There is also an "orchestra hall" where you can listen to what seems to be the full soundtrack for all three games (though I haven't verified this), along with orchestral tracks from the 15th anniversary and 2019 orchestra concerts.
There are also two new "trilogy exclusive" songs: "Apollo Justice - A New Era Begins! 2024", and "Trucy's Theme - Bring It In, Everyone". The new "a new era begins" remix might possibly be what they're playing in the trailer. "Bring It In, Everyone" is distinct from Trucy's main theme, "Child of Magic" (listed earlier in the soundtrack list), so I have no idea what that one will be like.
Animation Studio: This new feature allows you to play around with character models, setting up different backgrounds and sprites and settings, to create whatever scene you want. This doesn't seem to have a text feature, so it just seems kind of like a worse objection.lol but with 3D sprites. (Although I'm sure the objection.lol people will find a way to rip the models in like... five minutes of the game's release)
Preorder Information
It seems we overseas people will only have the collection available digitally, but Japan seems to have physical copies along with a lot of preorder bonuses! You can find the official page here.
This includes the following:
Game Software: You can order this standalone, or with the other preorder goods, or seemingly just the goods on their own without the software included.
Original Drama CDs: Two new drama CDs are being developed for this collection! As far as I can tell, one involves the Gavinners attempting a one-night-only revival of the band (which goes poorly...), and the second involves Taka fleeing the courtroom.
Evidence and Items Set: This includes ten pieces of evidence available from the games, along with some original illustrations. As can be seen above, this includes things like the photo of Apollo and Clay from Dual Destinies, six ID photos of major characters, and a signed poster of Klavier.
As well, a new sleeve box drawn by Takuro Fuse, the character designer for 5 and 6.
That should cover everything, but please let me know if I missed any news!
