I've been trying and failing to come up with a theme song for Team Rocket... J+J when compared side by side don't have a lot in common, and each TR team is different from the next. What "theme" can you bring out in song? There's the TR theme "Prepare for Trouble" on the Pokemon soundtrack, but it seems too easy, like giving up.

Help me Help you!

Anybody got anything?

Talk it out - Describe TR how you'd like to describe them in a vid, maybe you'll help me think of somethin.

S3 stands for "Selection for Societal Sanity", not "solid snake simulation". Our plan is not to censor content, but to create context. So you see, we're the S3, not you.

Well, for AHG, Star Wars themes are suddenly coming to mind. 8shrugs* Not completely sure why.
Anyway, I don't know if you know the songs from "Labyrinth", but I've got the soundtrack if you want. They always have some great lyrics- in fact, I can see several of them to Kare Kano. If you want more info on those tracks, I will say more.
+_+ Ug. I'll have to figure out a better signature.

How about the theme to Bewitched for AMG ?

How does it feel to be the enemy...

Post by dj_ultima_the_great » Fri Dec 17, 2004 8:19 pm

Um, just to let everyone know that I'm still here (actually, I should be posting on my Side Character thread...,) I've decided to post back - though I don't have much to say.

Kalium - actually, I've heard "Flame." Turns out, someone else decided to use that song for a video they were making (a video game music video.) I suggested something else, and while the person liked it, he went with "Flame" anyway. So, I am familiar with that song - and I do like it. I'll think about it. Although, I do have one comment about Blood: it doesn't have to be a combat-oriented song. I was thinking of doing a more mellow section, rather than the oft-seen slice-and-dice kind of Blood video people are used to seeing. For your sake, though, I do consider "Flame" to be a multi-purpose song. That meaning, I think it would work well for a mellow or action-packed video. As for "Who Wants to Live Forever," I do like Queen, but I don't like that song. So, thanks for the suggestions - I'll think about "Flame." I'm interested in that one.

pinky - as for Team Rocket (that being the Jessie and James side of it)...I think I want something serious. This might sound funny, but they did have serious moments - especially back near the beginning of the series. (Sadly, I feel as if they've become little more than comedy bit parts in the recent seasons...) Also, if you look back to their past, they do have more in common than you might think. I don't know how much that helps, but maybe it'll be a start...?

Laz_the_white - don't worry. ^_^ I probably will use "Good Thing," but if you remember, I said, and I quote:
"Lastly, after listening to "Good Thing," I've decided that I really like it. I'm still going to wait for more suggestions, but I may very well use that song for Ah! My Goddess."
Note the "I'm still going to wait for more suggestions" part. The reason I'm iffy on this is because I haven't decided whether I want to use the movie or the OAVs. If I use the movie, then I want a more serious song. If I use the OAVs, then I'll use "Good Thing" for sure - I can promise you that. As it is, I'm really leaning towards using the OAVs, cuz they have more variety of footage in comparison to the movie (from which I have seen endless videos with the same footage.) I want to be a little more original with this.

Appaku - okay, I am an uber-fan of Star Wars and all of its music, but I will say this: I would never use SW music in a music video. Sorry, it's just not my style. Also, I don't know any music from "Labyrinth." The movie, right? If so, then I should mention that's it's been a LONG time since I've seen that movie - long enough that I barely remember it. So, I would very much appreciate some musical refreshers, as well as a Kare Kano suggestion.

pinky (again) - I don't know the theme from Bewitched, so I can't really comment on that. I'll look into it, but until then...I don't know. You'll have to wait, I guess...? :?

Well, I'm done for now. Thanks for the suggestions - I really appreciate it! So, until I next post, here is the list (with a confusion-negater to boot!):
Ah! My Goddess (!!debating a song!!)
Angel Sanctuary
Blood The Last Vampire
Kare Kano (His and Her Circumstances)
Love Hina
Pokemon
Saishu Heiki Kanojo (SaiKano) (!!debating a song!!)

(By the way, I notice that Angel Sanctuary has been avoided completely [besides one comment from Lady Shinsei {thank you}] thus far. Is it that no one likes that anime, no one knows it, or the ideas just aren't coming for it?)

My horoscope predicts: "Farewell, Good Luck, and Happy AMV-ing!"

I was thinking about their past - If you can pull it off, I'm all for a serious TR vid. I mean, James came from a wealthy family and had everything, Both Jessie and Meowth came from humble beginings where they had to struggle for anything - The only bringing them together is their ambition to be great! Uh, good luck on that...

BeWitched is an instrumental, cute little classic theme song - I thought of it as I understand they're coming out with a movie soon.

Early on in the SCC, I posted my favorite Pokemon video - I do hope you've seen it - I think it might change your mind about TR heading down the drain this season - Looks like something interesting is on the horizon. If anyone knows what it is - DON'T SAY! I Wanna Be Surprised!

Kinda a bluesy kinda feel

Okay - One more Go -

Love Hina - "All I have to Do is Dream" - Everly Brothers - I think this one would be really good match for this anime. I will look to see if I can get my hands on a cd and send you something. I think this is the one I originally wanted to suggest to you. http://www.geocities.com/chloephilip/dream.htm

AMG - "She's so High Above Me"

AMG - "I'm a Believer" - Monkees

AMG - "Calling on Angels" - Train

Angel Santurary - End of Green´s Evergreen

It fits to the subtile atmosphere of AS and it´s has lyrics that would fit quite well in my eyes.

Sooooooooo late!

Post by dj_ultima_the_great » Fri Dec 24, 2004 11:18 am

I'm terrible sorry that it has taken me so long to reply. To be honest, I just finished watching Saikano (finally! - no I hadn't finished the series when I asked for suggestions...) and that's been keeping me pretty busy on the computer with AMV-watching and image-searching. Well, I'm back now, and I intend to respond to a few things.

pinky - sorry, but I'm going to have to shoot down all of those ideas on these grounds:
1. Even if the song is appropriate, I said no 'oldies' in the first post. Therefore, the Monkees and the Everly Brothers are really not on my list of songs to edit to.
2. As for "She's So High" and "Calling All Angels" they've already been done to Ah! My Goddess - a few times. In fact, I used to have a good AMG video on my computer set to "She's So High."
3. Lastly, I don't do blues. Too 'oldies' feeling to me.
Also, I haven't seen the Pokemon video that you posted - it can't be downloaded. Everytime I check, it's never available. Anywho, thanks for the suggestions - I'd like more, but try to stay away from the oldies, okies?

Warheart - I don't know that song, but I'd like to check it out. Do you have an .mp3 that you could provide? I'd very much appreciate it.

Oh, one last thing! I almost forgot!

Shinji Strife - I thought even MORE about "She Will Be Loved," and, after finishing the series, I think that song works best for the first half of the series. So, I've decided for sure that I will use that song. Thank you again for suggesting it.

I'm all out of thoughts, so here is the revised list:
Ah! My Goddess (!!debating a song!!)
Angel Sanctuary
Blood The Last Vampire
Kare Kano (His and Her Circumstances)
Love Hina
Pokemon

With that said, Farewell, Good Luck, and Happy AMV-ing!
