A Rumiko Takahashi couples fst

[.livejournal.com]

This is the unlocked FST I made for fst last month. This FST features the couples from the series by my favorite mangaka, Rumiko Takahashi. It includes the manga: Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku, Rumic World: Firetripper, Mermaid Saga, The One Pound Gospel, Ranma 1/2 and InuYasha- Sengoku o Togi Zoushi with songs for the main and side couples of the series.

I hope you all enjoy!


Rumiko Takahashi: highest paid manga artist in Japan, best selling female comic artist in the world, and known as the princess of manga. Takahashi enlivened shounen manga, with her vibrant stories and her ability to write shounen manga 'with a woman's sensibility.' Her couples run the gambit from comedic to dramatic and everything in between. If Rumiko were to be exemplified by just one of her great gifts, it would be her character development, which is perhaps best displayed in the way she creates romantic relationships and develops them along the course of her stories.

The following FST is devoted to Rumiko Takahashi's romances, spanning almost thirty years- from her big breakout, the crazy comedy, Urusei Yatsura in 1978 to her most recent serial, the epic fantasy, InuYasha- Sengoku o Togi Zoushi. The songs are presented in chronological order as to her series, and just like Rumiko's couples, range from the silly to the to the sublime. There are also four all-encompassing songs, two at the beginning and two at the end.

All files are uploaded on sendspace. There is a zip file featuring all the songs at the end, as well as a .M3U file so it will load onto your playlist in order. Please let me know if you grab anything, and I hope you enjoy this foray into Rumiko Takahashi's stories. ^^

LOVE ME CRAZY - A Rumiko Takahashi couples fst






Overall
1. Weezer- Knock Down Drag Out [lyrics]

Take no prisoners here in this knock down drag out war
That were waging on each other forever more

It's all that I can do right now
To make it up to you somehow
And meet you on the other side of home
Say you love me now.


2. R.E.M. - Love is All Around [lyrics]

You know I love you I always will
My mind's made up by the way that I feel
There's no beginning, there'll be no end
'Cause on my love you can depend



Urusei Yatsura

Lum x Ataru: He'll chase any girl out there; but now he's got a girl chasing him.

3. Grease- You're the One that I Want [lyrics]

I got chills.
They're multiplyin'.
And I'm losin' control.
'Cause the power
you're supplyin',
it's electrifyin'!





4. Cake- Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps [lyrics]

If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't wanna' wind up
Being parted, broken hearted

So if you really love me
Say yes
But if you don't, dear,
Confess
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps




Shinobu x Inaba: Honest men just don't fall out of the sky. Well, except in this case.

5. The Misfits- Dream Lover [lyrics]

Dream lover, where are you with a love, oh, so true?
And I hand that can hold, to feel you near as I grow old?
'cause I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone








Ran x Rei: Bringing a whole new meaning to the statement: "A way to a man's heart is through his stomach."

6. Adam Sandler- Food Innuendo Guy [lyrics]

Oh baby, baby, baby, you got eggplant parmigiana
Baby, baby, baby, bite my zucchini if you wanna
I'll give you fresh fruit salad
I don't get it from no can
Your string bean days are over
I'm your cucumber man
I'm your food inunendo guy, food innuendo guy
Oh so delicious



Ryuunosuke x Nagisa: It's a perfectly normal gender-bent relationship. Well, aside from the fact he's a ghost.

7. The Killers- Somebody Told Me [lyrics]

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around





Maison Ikkoku

Kyoko x Godai: "The woman I love burns with jealousy, leaps to conclusions, cries and turns to ice; but when she laughs- the world is mine."

8. Coldplay- Fix You [lyrics]

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth



Mitaka x Asuna: It was love at first sight; for her and her dogs.

9. Bon Jovi- Woman in Love [lyrics]

She can part the water
When the seas get rough
But there ain't no woman
Like a woman in love

If lust is just a dirty dog
I've been scratching with the fleas
I've been waking up your neighbours
Barking up your tree





Rumic World: Firetripper

Suzuko x Shukumaru: Long before "InuYasha," this was the original love that transcended time.

10. Indigo Girls- Strange Fire [lyrics]

I come to you with strange fire,
I make an offering of love,
The incense of my soul is burned by the fire in my blood.
I come with a softer answer
To the questions that lie in your path.
I want to harbor you from the anger,
Find a refuge from the wrath.







Mermaid Saga

Mana x Yuta: It took five hundred years for him to find a kindred spirit.

11. Yuki Kajiura- Winter [lyrics]

I was always sad and cold
All alone, before we met
Now you've taught me how to find the light
Even in darkness of winter

We are wandering hand in hand
Up and over hills of snow
We'll keep on walking through winter.




Yuta x Rin: "It was a short dream. But a nice one."

12. Strata- In a Sweet Dream [lyrics]

As soon as you wake you will
Find me on my way.
And soon when it's safe you may
Find a love again.
And I will be broken by this
Sweet dream
But it's all I have.





Yuta x Nae: A love that ended in tragic misunderstanding.

13. Sarah Brightman- Who Wants to Live Forever [lyrics]

There's no chance for us,
It's all decided for us,
This world has only one sweet moment
Set aside for us.

Who wants to live forever?








One Pound Gospel

Kosaku x Angela: His greatest love-rival is the Lord. No, seriously.

14. AltarBoyz- I Believe [lyrics]

One beam of light, is enough to see where you're going
One wrong turn, is enough to lose your way
One choice, is all you have to make
One ounce of faith could save the day
I believe, that I came to know you for a reason
I believe, that the things that you say will come true
I believe that with you in my life I'll make it
I believe in you






Ranma 1/2

Ranma x Akane: The quintessential couple-in-denial.

15. Barenaked Ladies- Falling for the First Time [lyrics]

I'm so cool, too bad I'm a loser
I'm so smart, too bad I can't get anything figured out
I'm so brave, too bad I'm a baby
I'm so fly, that's probably why it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time.







Ryouga x Akari: She loves everything about him, even the fact he turns into a pig.

16. Blessid Union of Souls - Hey Leonardo [lyrics]

She likes me for me
Not because I look like Tyson Beckford
With the charm of Robert Redford
Oozing out my ears
But what she sees
Are my faults and indecisions
My insecure conditions





Mousse x Shampoo: He's always there for her; and sometimes- she even takes notice.

17. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Love Rollercoaster [lyrics]

All is fair in a big fair ground
Let's go slow. Let's go fast
Like a licorice twist gonna whip your ass.

Rollercoaster- Say what?

I will be there for you I will be your man.





InuYasha

InuYasha x Kagome: "That's right. When did it happen that... it seems natural that Kagome being beside me is my home."

18. Aqualung- Brighter Than Sunshine [lyrics]

Tied up in ancient history
I didnt believe in destiny
I look up you're standing next to me
What a feeling

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
Brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
And it's brighter than sunshine.



19. The Choirboys- It Don't Get Better [lyrics]

She’s always there by my side
You can see devotion in her eyes

Love (It’s been on my mind)
Don’t get better than taking her out all around my town
Love (It’s been on my mind)
Don’t get better than taking her out all around my town
She loves my face and she shares my space
If it’s love that you’re looking for
It don’t get better than that .




Miroku x Sango: Now if only he'd keep his hands to himself...

20. INXS- We Are Thrown Together [lyrics]

I walk this mile
Like anyone
What could be found
In this sweet damaged smile

We are lost, we are found
We are thrown together.
Would you take my hand?





Overall

21. Avenue Q- The More You Ruv Someone [lyrics]

The more you love someone,
The more he make you crazy.
The more you love someone,
The more you wishing him dead!


22. The Monkees- I'm a Believer [lyrics]

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave her if I tried.
