Bienvenue...
... au jardin d'Éden
      Hello and welcome to
Nagareboshi, an mp3 rotation. Here,
Kyuu rotates selections from her mp3 collection about every three to four weeks, featuring anime, j-pop, j-rock, orchestral, and all sorts of different music. Every rotation encompasses a total of five or six songs from across the spectrum, so there's plenty to choose from!
You are currently viewing version 13, "Within My Wing's Embrace", which features Chihaya and Kagetsuya from Kouga Yun's Earthian. A minimal resolution of 800x600 is required, as well as div layers and stylesheet.
So, what are you waiting for? Get on exploring! But please don't forget to read the rules. Thank you for visiting, and please enjoy your stay.

      First rotation of the new year! *laughs* I guess my New Year's Resolution is to actually follow a rotation schedule and stick by it. I'm surprised you guys don't hate me yet.
Or maybe you do.
This rotation has a more cheerful and upbeat demeanor. I'm feeling more happy as of late, and it's probably showing in my music taste. Also, I think I'm starting to rotate less anime. Mreh. There are comments this time because Mel would probably lynch me if there weren't. And I had to rotate or else Ryk would kill me too. *coughs* I left the mood music up, since it's on SaveFile and I really don't care.
I'm trying something else as well. The "samples" lead to Radio.Blog.Club in which you can listen to the song and deem if it's worthy of downloading or not. ^~ It's good, I promise, but you might not believe me.
Also, I took off the contact form. I'm sorry, but the spam from that it's starting to drive me crazy. *spazzes* I'm going to kill it if it stays up any longer. Anyway, enjoy the rotation! I have SATs tomorrow, so link exchange thingie coming...eventually.
     
Next Rotation: around February
29th 28th
Rules...
... on doit obéir
1. Download one file at a time! Not 2, not 3! Multiple downloads will kill my server, and then you won't be able to get anymore songs.
2. Do not direct link! Unless if you have special permission from me, if I catch you direct linking, I
will hunt you down and murder you.
3. Delete within 24 hours of download. Keeping mp3's any longer is punishable by law! If you like these, please go
support their artists!
4. Do not request songs! The "requested by"'s are from people I ask to choose. If you request, the only thing that will happen is me hating you.
5. Nagareboshi will not be held responsible if the files corrupt or damage your computer (which it shouldn't).
6. You need either
Winzip or
Winrar to open these files.
7. Failure to comply will shut down this site.

... la musique classique
Song: Collide
Album: Stop All the World Now
Artist: Howie Day
Length: 4:09
Comments: I've listened to this song so many times, yet I can't quite pinpoint what I love so much about it. You're probably going to yell at me and scream that it's just another pop song. Which it is. But the way that Howie Day sings just enraptures the song in a certain warmth, and how it comes together--the lyrics, his voice, the music... There's no way to really describe this song than "it feels right."

Song: Anyplace, Anywhere, Anytime
Album: Anyplace, Anywhere, Anytime
Artist: Nena feat. Kim Wilde
Length: 4:03
Comments: Oh, German, how I can't speak you to save my life. It's just part of what makes this song really cool though. The German and English are so well-balanced, and the lyrics are so beautiful. I'm not really a big fan of techno, but for this song, it works so well. It's all sorts of swirly and colorful and makes me go, "Woo~" (That was a very unintelligible comment, yes, I know.) This should be a DDR song.

Song: I'll Be
Album: Misguided Roses
Artist: Edwin McCain
Length: 5:27
Comments: This is possibly one of the most beautiful love songs I've ever listened to. There's always something so beautifully devoted about it that makes me want to cry when I hear it. The sound behind it is such a beautiful and rich blend, and the combination of lyrics and passionate vocals always moves somethieng within me. It's like... this is what love Is. This is why we love.

Song: Destiny of Love
Album: Destiny of Love
Artist: Yiruma
Length: 4:48
Comments: Tiffy's recently introduced me to Yiruma's music, and I've absolutely fallen in love with it. He has a very individualized sense of style with the music he creates and it's always so beautiful and soft. This song is almost melancholy in a certain way, and very atmospheric. Yiruma's playing is most definitely some of the most beautifully composed music for piano since the Romantic era.

Song: You Are My Love
Series: Tsubasa Chronicle
Artist: Yuki Kajiura
Length: 2:34
Comments: If there's one thing that saves Tsubasa Chronicle from being a failure of an anime in my eyes, it's definitely the fact that Yuki Kajiura is the composer of its music. This song is soft and a little sorrowful, filled with the nostalgia that Sakura feels from her lack of memory. I'm ambivilent about the vocals, just a bit. Such a fragile-sounding song.

Song: Agony
Series: Kannazuki no Miko
Artist: Kotoko
Length: 4:22
Comments: There was one review I read for Kannazuki no Miko in which the reviewer commented that Kotoko's music all sounds the same. This amuses me, though I can't agree or disagree since I don't listen to her much. This is a very interesting listen though, and even with its upbeat techno tempo and almost falsly cheerful sound, you can still pick up the traces of longing and anguish that marks its name.

Layout...
... la belle peinture
      Version 13 of this site is entitled "
Within My Wing's Embrace" and features Chihaya and Kagetsuya from Kouga Yun's
Earthian. The images are from her 2002 rerelease of the series, and are from the
Your Eyes Only artbook.
This came out nicely. The blending is smooth and ethereal, but it's got some more modern looking elements to it as well. I don't like purple all that much, but it worked really well with this layout. I'm happy that I was able to do this picture justice.
Layout was created with Adobe Photoshop 6.0 and coded in Notepad.
