Be Your Girl by Chieko Kawabe

Even though I did not really understand the plot of the anime series "Elfen Lied" I still love the soundtrack. Most especially the ending song entitled Be Your Girl by Chieko Kawabe. Take a look at the lyrics below:

Maybe, I wanna be your girl

Maybe, all I need is you

Anna ni mou soba ni ite mo

Konna ni mou ai sarete mo

Jikan wa mikata shite kurezu ni

Anata no kanojo ni narenai atashi

Sore de mo ii tte nan do mo omotta

Anata wo dareka to SHEA shite iru keredo

Sore ja iya da tte nan do mo naiteru

Uso de mo kiyasume de mo atashi dake tte itte

KISU no masui kirete itaku naru

Anata wa mou kaetchau no?

Koko de namida wa hikyou da tte

Ha wo kuishibatte gaman shite iru yo

Sore de mo ii tte nan do mo omotta

Anata wo dareka to SHEA shite iru keredo

Sore ja iya da tte nan do mo naiteru

Uso de mo kiyasume de mo

Ne onegai

Atashi no naka wa anata dake

Ai shite iru no wa atashi dake tte itte

Hoshii mono wa hitotsu dake tada anata no zenbu ga hoshii na

Kono michi no saki ni matte iru sekai

Nigezu ni tsuzuki wo kono me de mite mitai

Tatoe kore ijou kizutsuku to shite mo

Zettai tomerarenai kono kimochi da kara ne

Sore de mo ii tte nan do mo omotta

Anata wo dareka to SHEA shite iru keredo

Sore ja iya da tte nan do mo naiteru

Uso de mo kiyasume de mo atashi dake tte itte

Maybe, I wanna be your girl

Maybe, all I need is you

Hidden Track

Hidden Track

I've mentioned in a previous post that I am a huge fan of Jay Chou right? So here's another movie that has him on it. I have been looking for a torrent download for this movie but the one I found does not have any seeds (huhuhuhu). Anyways, the movie revolves around Jay Chou's song entitled "Gui Ji" which is said to be a hidden track and a girl's pursuit to finding it. When I listened to the song I fell in love with it (that seems to be the case with every Jay Chou song I've listened to LOL).  You can watch Jay Chou perform the song during his concert in Taipei below. 

 

If you are interested in downloading the mp3 file of the song. Get it at the Downloadable Goodies page.

You can also download a copy of the video above here: Downloadable Goodies

I've given up hope of downloading the movie anywhere online so I've made a purchase on ebay for the DVD copy and I cannot wait for it to arrive. I so so so so love Jay Chou!!!! Weeeeeeeee

Elfen Lied

Episodes: 13 and 1 OAV

Plot:

Elfen Lied takes place in Kamakura, Japan, focusing on a new strain of the human race - Diclonius, similar to ordinary human beings, yet different at the genetic level and notable due to physical abnormalities, particularly a pair of short horn-like protrusions. One such Diclonius, Lucy, is the main character of the series: initially held in a facility built for experimentation, located off the coast of Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, she manages to escape and wreak havoc, but is injured in the process, an event which causes her to develop a secondary, child-like personality known as Nyu.

She is found by two local residents, Kohta, who studies at the local university, and his cousin Yuka. They agree to take her in, becoming involved with the numerous, often brutal, attempts to recapture Lucy by a Special Assault Team and a number of other Diclonius, who shift from oblivious to murderous frequently. Other characters include Bando, a SAT trooper who was mauled by Lucy and infected with a virus, and Kurama, a carrier of the virus.

While the animated series ends with Lucy confronting a large team of SAT members, after which she disappears, the manga continues by showing the mad plans of Kakuzawa, leader of the Diclonius' research, and his ultimate failure. The world itself is endangered. [Source: Wikipedia]

Casper: The Friendly Ghost [1995]

I remembered watching this when I was in elementary during a film showing and let's just say this is one of my absolute favorites.

Lover's Concerto by Kelly Chen

I fell in love with this song after watching her [Kelly Chen] and Takeshi Kaneshiro on a 1998 movie entitled "Anna Magdalena".

-----------------------------------
Taken from Wikipedia:


Title:


The title refers to the keyboard piece Minuet in G Major believed to have been written by Johann Sebastian Bach's colleague, Christian Petzold, from the 1725 Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach[2]. Anna Magdalena was Bach's second wife. The music attracts the attention of Chan Kar-fu and Yau Muk-yan as Kelly Chen's character plays it on her piano. The film score uses this theme repeatedly.


Synopsis:


The film structure loosely follows that of the minuet: four "movements", which are announced by titles: two themes, a duet, and a set of variations[2]. 1- Chan Kar-fu's (Takeshi Kaneshiro) introduction 2- Yau Muk-yan's (Aaron Kwok) effect on his life 3- Mok Man-Yee's (Kelly Chen) effect on their lives 4- Chan Kar-fu's literary vision of love.[5] This fourth "movement" (Variations) is a wild fantasy on the previous material, based on the novel written by Kaneshiro's character: The XO Pair[3].
Unemployed aspiring writer Yau Muk-yan (Aaron Kwok) moves into the apartment of Chan Kar-fu (Takeshi Kaneshiro), a shy piano tuner. Both will soon fall in love with their new neighbor Mok Man-Yee (Kelly Chen).


-------------------------------


Kelly Chen's rendition of the song is just so soothing I cannot help but fall in love with it. If you want to download the movie, click here and be sure to download the English Subtitle here. For the mp3 version of Kelly Chen's - Lover's Concerto you can get it here.
