Onmyoji I and II OST

In the past couple of months I have become an ardent fan of the figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu for numerous reasons. I admire his courage in the face of unimaginable pressure as an athlete, but above all, his ability to make the sport an art form in itself always renders me speechless. Of his routines, his free skate from last season with which he smashed the world records again and again (x, x) is still my favourite. 

The music, of course, is a huge part of why the program is so critically acclaimed. It is a medley of soundtracks from the movies Onmyoji and Onmyoji II. It is a glorious mix of grandeur and tranquility, and Yuzuru’s elegant but powerful interpretation of the music just gets the blood pumping (check out this step sequence to bless your eyes). The percussion-heavy section which features the song Rambling God (荒ぶる神) is my favourite.

I have spent weeks hunting down the individual soundtracks because they are not easy to find without knowing Japanese, but I finally found them here! In the process I also found a whole treasure trove of other songs from the prolific composer Shigeru Umebayashi, and all his works are treasures.

Have a listen!

Oh, goody. It looks like the Internet Archive may be under yet another DDoS attack, a good time to remind everyone that two versions of Cayce's "This is NOT Greatest Site" are currently being built.

Kakidokei, formerly known as Kame, who was the official co-creator of the original NGS of nearly 20 years ago, is uploading here. Currently, all Buck-Tick, The Mortal, and Schwein lyrics are up, as well as a number of magazine and interview translations. Check them first.

This is NOT Greatest Site

This is NOT Greatest Site

Bringing J-rock translations and culture like it's 2006 again.

A mirror site of the original Geocities site, which may be most familiar to fans before the site was lost a couple of years ago, is being built here. Currently, features, articles, and guides are being prioritized to send translation-seekers to Kakidokei's site first.
