I've never heard of any English versions of any Ayumi Hamasaki songs, either.

I spent almost two weeks looking for opening and ending themes of Abenobashi Mahou Shotengai {Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi}. Once I found them, I listened to them on repeat for a few days.

Actually the song played at the end of Escaflowne the Movie is Yubiwa (Ring). Yakusoku wa Iranai (I Don't Need Promises) is the opening theme to Escaflowne the series. *sweatdrop* Sorry, I just had to say that...^.^;;

Don't want to give away my age, but...

Is metal dead in Japan? There was group back in the `80's called Loudness that I thought was pretty good, but most music I hear coming out of Japan is either pop or regular rock.

Well, I am sure there are plenty of metal bands in Japan, just as there are with any other country. Most of the music that leaves America is pop music as well, but there are still a lot of metal bands there.

I always liked Yoko Anno, but her music usually doesn't involve singing. She worked with Shinichiro Watanabe on most of his projects

I found the English language version of Deep Forest. Or at least AN English version of it.

Its between a minute and a half to two minutes long, sounds like it was performed live instead of in a studio, and has a harmonica instead of a flute.

Its okay, but I wish it was longer....

Is there a studio version also, or is this it?

That's the only version I've been able to find. It wouldn't be so bad if you could actually hear the lyrics. It almost sounds like they turned down the microphone sometime during the recording.

Hikaru Utada, Doa As Infinity, See-Saw, T.M.Revolution, and Gackt are all my faves :3
