Wheee, music.

I grabbed Tsuzuki for the character soundtracks over at fst, and I was just wondering: does anyone have any song recs for him? It'd be particularly helpful if you had some happy ones, but any would be good, really. And feel free to rec shippy songs too- Tatsumi/Tsuzuki, Muraki/Tsuzuki, Hisoka/Tsuzuki, whatever.

^^ Any suggestions?

Beautiful Stranger, by Madonna.

Nouvelle Vague's version of "I Melt With You" is very happy!Hisoka/Tsuzuki to me. The Whitlams' "Make the World Safe". Dar Williams' cover of "Better Things", Tommy february6's "I'm in the mood for dancing", The Reputation's "Follow-Through Time", Poxy's "Sweet Tooth", My Friend the Chocolate Cake's "It's All in the Way" and/or "The Romp" (instrumental).

Ooh, and Hisoka/Tsuzuki - Moxy Fruvous, My Baby Loves a Bunch of Authors

*dies*

[quixotic-sense.livejournal.com]

I like your taste in music.

"I think I'm paranoid" - Garbage
"Ice Cream" - Sarah McLachlan (Tsuzuki/Hisoka)
"All You Wanted" - Michelle Branch (Tatsumi/Tsuzuki)
"Tourniquet" - Evanescence

First three are happy(ish), the last is... not, but is my ultimate Tsuzuki song. I think it captures Kyoto and broken Tsuzuki so perfectly. All of these are going on my own soundtrack, which, dammit, I WILL put up later today. If you need any of them, I can send them to you. ^_^

The Alfee, "Dark Side Meditation" for Tsuzuki. I used to have a sheet of translation, I'll have to dig it up when the grannybox decides to kindly boot again... it made sense lyrically(!), and IIRC, Tsuzuki is a canon fan of The Alfee, so... *koff* Ye-ah. Ahum.

For Muraki and Hisoka... "Cat People (Putting Out Fire)", David Bowie. It worked, once upon a time. Really, honest. ._.;

How? by John Lennon. Not that upbeat, but the lyrics are so Tsuzuki, and it has this mood of subtle angst.

Watching the Wheels is very Tsuzuki too. It has the "I'm a slacker, but I like it!" thing.

It's a Sin, Pet Shop Boys. I can't help but think of Tsuzuki every time I hear that.

It's Probably Me by Sting, Tsuzuki/Hisoka song.

Pretty When You Cry, VAST. SO Muraki/Tsuzuki.

All the rest I have are too obscure to mention ^_^;;

I just friended you, so I thought I'd leave a comment saying hi ;)

Unforgivable Sinner by Lene Marlin is a good Tsuzuki theme song, with a bit of a reference to someone who could be Ruka, I guess. It isn't exactly cheery though.

Rapture by Ilo is pretty Tsuzuki themed too. Sugar references abound, and it's happy. Ish.

[coffeeandink.livejournal.com]

I think of Grant Lee Buffalo's "Honey, Don't Think" as Tsuzuki to Hisoka in Kyoto, although it works almost as well for Tsuzuki & Tatsumi or Watari.

There's a Tatsumi/Tsuzuki song I really like, but if I tell it to you, Boni will probably kill me. Or I hope she would, because she should be working on that vid, damnit.

"The Fine Art of Falling Apart" by Matthew Good Band has always struck me as rather Tsuzuki/Hisoka from Tsuzuki's POV. Also, MGB's "Weapon," which I find inspirational for a lot of my fandoms, but which works stunningly well for any Shinigami.

The Vienna Teng song Boni used in her music vid, the name of which I don't think I've ever learned. "Overcome?" The Go-Gos' cover of "I Want Candy," for really goofy crack!addled Tsuzuki/Hisoka.

The Smashing Pumpkins' "Disarm," of course. A-ha's "Scoundrel Days" is another one that could work pretty well for several of the Shinigami. Also, Counting Crows' "'Round Here."

It's a start.

[coffeeandink.livejournal.com]

The Vienna Teng song is "Momentum," but if you want something slightly less familiar but still Tsuzuki/Hisoka, I'd go with "Gravity."

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Ooo, very nice one. I hadn't heard of this before you rec'd it, but now I really want to find a copy of it. ^^

Re: *sneaks online*

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you! Those are some great choices- and hee, I'd never heard that cover of "I Want Candy" before. ^^

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hee!

I love that song- someone sent me a copy of it a while ago.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Oh, very nice choices! And I love "Ice Cream" for Tsuzuki and Hisoka... have you heard the acoustic version of it? I like it even better than the regular one.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Oh, hmm. I've never heard that song, but it sounds like it'd be good. I'll have to try and scrounge up a copy somewhere.

And hee! Good choice, there, it really does work.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

*_* Very nice recs- I never would have thought to look up some of these groups.

And I'd always though of "Pretty When You Cry" as a Muraki/Hisoka song, but you're right, it works for Tsuzuki too.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hi! ^_^ I was getting so depressed- no one new had friended me in a long time. So yay! And hello.

Oh, oh- it might not be cheery, but that song is perfect! Thank you so much.

[eag.livejournal.com]

I can send you one - just message me on aim later. :)

[eag.livejournal.com]

I did, via yousendit. <.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Oh, good suggestion- I have that song, but I hadn't thought of it. It does work very well, though.

Aww. And Tatsumi's the one I'm having the hardest time finding a song for.

Re: *sneaks online*

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Heh, whoops #^^#. Clicked on the wrong 'reply to' button.

But I love your choices- you have such great taste in music. I'm definetly going to have to find these, especially since I know a few of the groups and love them.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Oo, good songs. I hadn't heard of the MGB ones before, but they do work very well. And hee- the cover of "I Want Candy" cracks me up. Defintley downloading these.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

My favorite Vienna Teng song for Tsuzuki/Hisoka has always been "Eric's Song", but nearly all of her music can be applied to one couple or another.

[ranalore.livejournal.com]

The vid was called Momentum, I just wasn't sure the song was as well. Thanks for letting me know!

"Gravity" is gorgeous, but I always think of it as being from Hisoka's POV, which is why I didn't mention it.
