FanimeCon 2011, Black and White Ball Music Requests

Persona · May 02, 2011, 12:17:29 PM

I'm not at all familiar with suitable music for dances, however I think these would work (and I'd love to dance to them):

Shiina Ringo -- Yume no Ato -- waltz

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x76rAgWhY8

Shiina Ringo -- Onaji yoru

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is3kdSVhtEA

Shiina Ringo -- Stem ~ daimyou asobi hen (there is another version of Stem as well as a Japanese version, I recommend this version; also, there is no dialogue in the actual song)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K58hOW2ZdRs

Tokyo Jihen -- Kokoro

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBQkM-_-zP8

Mitsuishi Kotono (Sailormoon) -- Tuxedo Mirage

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zIMKfWkIy0

Lee Haeri -- Red Bean/Hong Dou (Korean ver) (Faye Wong sings the original, which may be easier to find, but I like this arr. better)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYo2oc4CSM0

David Sylvian/Ryuichi Sakamoto -- Forbidden Colours (also a solo piano and full orchestral version if the vocals rub you the wrong way)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztVooc7uMnA

Youme -- Byul (Star) from 200 Pounds Beauty

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pnDM-fVBGI

Thanks~

VNV Nation - Illusion

I'll probably have a few more later, but that's one I really wanted to get in.

Tangosucka · May 02, 2011, 10:52:07 PM

Louise Armstrong: La Vie En Rose (Wall-E)

Rikki/Susan Calloway (Distant Worlds): Sutaki Da ne (Final Fantasy X)

Distant Worlds: Theme of Love (Final Fantasy IV)

Susan Calloway (Distant Worlds): Distant Worlds (Final Fantasy XI)

yea...I'm planning to go there with the girl I'm currently dating :3

Serena88 · May 06, 2011, 01:53:44 AM

Everyone uses the FFVIII waltz song. I hope they pick something different this time.

Cardcaptor Sakura- Walt's of Courage - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QATRx86TyGc

Emma Victorian Romance- Belle of the Ball- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHhmR3TePHg

Emma Victorian Romance- Memory- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Scxd_bRLpQo

Personally, I think the opening theme to Howl's Moving Castle would be awesome at the ball.

Also, the opening for Princess Tutu, Morning Grace.

Thank you for all your suggestions. The staff of the Black and White Ball will listen to them all, we will also have the final say of which songs make the final cut.

Thank you,
Kevin

ZiggyB · May 12, 2011, 12:35:29 AM

Here's a few songs that I think would be fantastic for Argentine Tango/Ballroom Tango. Sadly these aren't really anime/asian themed.

Traditional:
Libertango - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUAPf_ccobc
Tivoli - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzcFbGLFnmU (also works for waltz/viennese)

Basically anything by Gotan Project, but here's some standouts:
Santa Maria - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_5wIvSh-LU
Una Musica Brutal - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVQbyRZ_euQ
El Capitalismo Foráneo - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuk8w5aziZQ
Queremos Paz - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3UpZydTFb0

And here's some contemporary songs that also work (w/ examples):
I Bust The Windows Out Your Car (Jazmine Sullivan) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOW8FUePfIA
Cry (Prince) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A6Wzg_nWdw
Kiss (Prince - Glee Version) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ymCQZ0WUqs

OtakuMcGreevy · May 13, 2011, 06:58:33 PM

Kimi Ga Iru Kara, from Final Fantasy XIII. I've heard it was done last year, but still would be good.
Also, though it's not related in any way, Mambo Number 5, by Lou Bega.

I've found what i believed to be a series of good songs for a ball room environment.
Check out the Entire Rasmus Faber Presents Platina Jazz Anime Standards Collection. Its like just wow.

Here are just a few bits. The CD can be found on itunes.

Hajimete no Chuu (My First Kiss)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SfLag6ktJc&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

Genesis Of Aquarion (Performance in Japan)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MplkNuTCLi4

Seikan Hikou
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=351cD3wZuUc&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

I can't seem to find the rest on Youtube but they've got all the major Anime tracks that resonate with us all in a classy jazz form that would fool any untrained ear into not realizing their anime origins and would be perfect for dancing to. Everything from "Hare Hare Yukai" to "Merry go round of life" from howls moving castle

You can see short previews of each song on itunes as well http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/rasmus-faber-presents-platina/id417860725

"Namida no Hurricane" by Bon Bon Blanco from the anime Getbackers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul4mfawMHb8

I was watching the dance videos and i think that Merengue would be a good dance for this.
