Music for the Black and White Ball 2010

[tkdteo]

Hello everyone,

So since there were some suggestions about music for BWBall this year, I thought I would get an early jump for 2010.  So if you have any requests or ideas for songs to be played either at the Black and White Ball or the dance lessons taught in the days prior to ball, please let me know.

As always, if you could email the song or link the song that would be great!  The best though is sending us an MP3 of the song.  But if you do not have a copy of the song just list the title/artiste/anime or video game.  Please remember that we try to accomodate everyone's suggestions for music but it is not a gaurantee that your song will be played at the Ball or the dance lessons.  Thanks.

What type of music?  Is there a goal to keep it strictly to anime music?

[tkdteo]

All types of music are welcome.  But our main focus is usually on anime, video game, or jpop music.  But for some of the dances like tango and swing, it is hard to find music in those genre so we will use other types of music.  So feel free to post your suggestions.

Perhaps a little bit of notation of what dances the song would be suited for may be useful too along with the name and artist...

[tkdteo]

If at all possible please send suggesions in this format

Name of song - Artist (if known) - Series or game it is from (if applicable) - Dance suggestion done to the song (if known)

I tried this last year and had to good responses.  When I mention dance suggestions, please mark them with dances like waltz, tango, cha cha, etc..  Slow or fast does not constitute a dance suggestion.  We will have people go through the songs before we make a decision on to include the songs or not.  The panel can tell you what dances your song suggestions may fit.  Thanks!

Warera Gonin No Samurai Nari (We Are Five Samurai) - by PE'Z - Death Note Tribute - Salsa/Waltz

^ Don't let the title fool you! The beat and rhythm are really great to dance to.

Links?  Anyone have links to their suggestions where we may be able to hear it or dare I ask, could you email the mp3 or so to [email protected]?  It just makes it easier for us.  But if not, we will see if we can find it.  As a reminder, we will try to accomodate suggestions but there are no gaurantees that your suggestions will make it into the final playlist due to the amount of time we have for the BWBall and the amount of music suggested by Fanime goers.  Thanks.

Great idea! It's always good to plan early :P I've sent you a few songs, tell me what you think of them and if it's alright lol. Can't wait! The B&W ball was absolutely fun this year! Hoping for another year of fun as well. Oh, and about the dancing lessons...any ideas what you guys will be teaching? Salsa? Cha cha? Waltz? etc?

[morgaine]

I think "Shissou" (the waltz version) from OHSHC would be nice ^-^

The point of this is to actually dance, if you could tell us what dances could be done to those songs that would be cool.

I dont have recommendations per se, but if you play that Old Mc Donald's music crap again, I know a few rovers who will kill you....literally. Just letting you know  ;D

[Okach]

@MonkeyRikku - my bad:  WCS = west coast swing.  Easiest way to explain it is to have the pros do it -
