ARCHIVED HTML - Ravens Crying
Queen Beryl - Molly
Tone/Mood
It seems to be a very angry song for the most part. THe music sort of reminds me of something out of linkin park...
Memorable
I wouldn't really call this song too memorable, since I've heard so many songs that sound so much like it..
Lyrics
The lyrics work well with the music. They seem very angry, yet a little sad at the same time, because of fear.
Overall Rating
I'd give this song a 3..
Kuroki Mio - Kara
TONE/MOOD:
Ah, here we go. Some good old-fashioned wild-hair and leather, Saturday-night's-the-night-for-fighting music. And here's Endo's voice in full bloom, the way it needs to be and the way it needs to stay. There's so much emotion, so much range, and so much more strength than before. I'm incredibly impressed.PLACEMENT:
N/AMEMBORABLE:
Yes, very.LYRICS:
Heh heh. He swears.... Okay, now that that's out of my system ... good stuff.Far away cries are a melody chasing, chasing after an illusion
Where do you want to go? I'll follow until we reach it.
What do you want to do? I'll follow until we do it.
You'd expect something a lot more sentimental to go with that, wouldn't you? No. This is aggression, this is the need to fight for something, and it works. That's the best part. It actually WORKS. I've seen so many mismatched moods and lyrics, and I thought this was going to be another. But this one really meshes.
OVERALL:
5 out of 5. More of these, Endo-sama, more of these.
Sailor Uranus - G.E. Artemis
Tone/Mood:
The intro is ROCKIN’! I love it. The singing, however, is definitely sub-par. Erk. However, the actual music is good enough to save this song for me.Placement:
Actually, I don’t know. ^^; I don’t know if it’s on Deep Under or some other album.Lyrics:
Where do you want to go? I'll follow until we reach it.What do you want to do? I'll follow until we do it.
Scared to fly
Scared to fly high
Scared to fly so free
Okay, this makes perfect sense to me. It translates from Japanese to English very well.
Yo say! It's not too late
Just cry out those all your bull shit
Get lost! Fuck my way off!
Beggin me down killing me down
For true, don't know why
I wanna fly high and reach the sky blue
However, this part is WTF. XD Maybe because it’s in Engrish, but it doesn’t fit in with the rest of the lyrics.

Sailor Neptune - Ruth
Tone/Mood
Heavy. Rock. Good beat....singing. Downfall. Ug...I don't like the singing. I really think it would be better if there was a different singer. It's all broken and off. I'm sorry to say this song is on the bottom of the list of my Endo-sama's music. >.<Placement
Not used in the show.Memorable
No.Lyrics
"So trueKoudaina sora miagete wa kanjiteta isshu no KATARUSHISU
So true
Jibun no sonzai no chisana Jibun no yabou no kateshina sa
So true so true to face
Touku hibiku MERUDEI oikakete oikakete meisou"
Heh...this song has a mixture of English and Japanese lyrics and mind you, there's some English in there that may not be suitable for younger listeners. And because of that I chose "clean" Japanese lyrics to display here. :P
In English it's stating that he will follow whatever she's after until they reach the "goal" or "end" together. However, it turns ugly and it sounds as though he has had enough with her bull**** (ooo that was also used. LOL) and leaves her. Drama much?
Overall Rating
2/5! Singing singing singing oh how I dislike the singing portion of the song. New singer who doesn't have a broken voice. Sometimes a broken voice does wonders but not here. Maybe next time...or not.
Tuxedo Mask - Kero-chan
Tone/Mood:
This one starts with a strong opening, using the electric guitar; something that is becoming quite usual in Yoshito's songs. It sounds like his other songs where he has wanted to make very hard-core rock, but I think that he needs to put some more style on them. They need something that makes them different, unique and easy to distinguish from, like the piano melodies. As I said before we need something more like HALO and AWAKEN please!Placement:
Yoshito's band album.Memorable:
I don't think so; 'Ravens' cry' sounds exactly the same as his other songs. He needs to sit down and create different styles so that the listeners can know when they are hearing this or that song.Lyrics:
It has strong lyrics, as I have read it sounds like he is claiming something to someone in a not-so-polite way XDCry out soul revolution
Cry out soul liberation
So true
I want to look at the empty sky and feel a kind of catharsis
So true
My own existance is so small My own existance will soon end
So true so true to face
Far away cries are a melody chasing, chasing after an illusion
Where do you want to go? I'll follow until we reach it. What do you want to do? I'll follow until we do it.
Scared to fly Scared to fly high
Scared to fly so free
I like this part because it's strong; it shows the true feeling of demanding something in an angry way without cursing XD
Overall Rating:
I'll give this song 3/5 and it's just for the lyrics they go with the music but, even so, I like neither the music nor Endo's voice.
Sailor Mars - De'Angelo
Tone/Mood
When the song started playing, I thought I actually heard ravens flying! I guess the name of the song got my brain ready for it before I knew it! The first verse's melody seems like the person behind the vocals is "scared to fly", as it says in the chorus. Also, that pause before the first verse makes me feel a little scared. o.OPlacement
N/AMemorable
The only memorable part of this song is the chorus. You can actually hear exactly what he's saying for the most part. The first verse wasn't really clear to me - until I read the lyrics, anyway! ~.^Lyrics
I like these lyrics alot! It reminds me of my fear of going into space - I'm scared because I might lose control and get pulled down onto a planet/moon by its gravity and die or something. I'm basically scared of anything that is in space. In this song, the *ahem* protagonist *ahem* is scared to fly because he doesn't know what's out there except possible death."My own existance is so small My own existance will soon end"
This is my favorite line because it says so much if you think about it. You are only one out of more than 6 billion (sorry for showing off what I learn in my fantastic charter school) on Earth - VERY small! And looking at how long the Earth has been around, your existance ends pretty quick compared to things that aren't living.
Overall Rating
I give this song a 4. I would've given it a five, but the ablility to know what he said in the first verse without having a look at the lyrics dragged the score down. I think I DEFINITELY want the CD now!
Dark Sailor Mercury - Ilse
Tone/Mood
The beginning is almost the same like a part in a song of Sum41!!! I don't know if they stole it, but it's VERY familiar. Too bad it's only a sample, now that I like this stress song, the sample is too short for words :@!Placement
-Memorable
Yes, it is! For me it is, although I only heard the sample.Lyrics

The lyric base is the same as Route 99. I like the lyrics not Very much, they're average
Overall rating
4! It's a good song!
Princess Serenity - Elly
Tone/Mood
Very hard-rock music. The bit after the opening rift is kind of pleasant though. The background music reminds me a lot of something by Linkin Park.Placement
DEEP UNDER by Amber Dust, the band that Yoshito Endo is lead vocalist and pianist for.Memorable
If only for that damned screaching he does. God, that annoys me.Lyrics
Far away cries are a melody chasing, chasing after an illusionWhere do you want to go? I'll follow until we reach it. What do you want to do? I'll follow until we do it.
This sounds romantic, for some odd reason. Endless compassion and loyalty, I guess. Yoshito is the dream man, afterall.
Overall rating
It gets a three for now. I'm not really impressed with the lyrics. Interested in hearing more, though.
Sailor Saturn - Miri-chan
Tone/Mood
Not a moment of peace in this song. Nope. The beginning seemed wonderful, but once we got to the verse and chorus, I turned down the volume. I'm frankly sick of screaming in songs now.Placement

No! Get it out of my head!Lyrics

Oooooooookay. Most definitely an angst song, right there.
Overall Rating
Sorry to say so, but 1 out of 5 hearts.
Sailor V - Jessica
Tone/Mood
From the sound of the music, I'm going for an incredibly angry tone here. The mood seems to say 'leave me alone', insert a few swear words in that sentence where you wish, because it sounds as if they should be there! I may be being dense, but I can't get a lot from his voice in this track, it sounds as if its stretched too far and just makes me want to turn the song off.Placement
None in PGSMMemorable
Erm, sorry, I'll be trying to forget this one.Lyrics

Unfortunately the only part of the song that I find remotely interesting.
Overall Rating
1/5
Sailor Luna - Emo-chan
Tone/Mood
It reminds me of a Linkin Park song! Its much more hardcore than his other pieces for this month. I like the sounds in it, and his voice is good. But sadly it seems to be a little hidden behind the instruments.Placement
N/AMemorible
Sure. I like it, and if I heard the whole song, Im sure i would be able to remember more of it.Lyrics
Ain't lost I'll do it for my own reasons Which way is good for us to go? Ain't lost From which way is a good way to come? From which way is a good way to come?It sounds like he is confused. And that can be related by me because of how life works. Especially now when im going into College, and its a confusing time for me. I like how i can relate to it in that sense.
Overall Rating
A 4. I like the sounds and the words, and I enjoy the fact that it reminds me of Linkin Park a little bit.
Sailor Pluto - Sailorasteroid
Mood:
whiny. Typical of the angst-filled, not-quite-hard, not-quite-soft, semi-rock, semi-metal that dominates the current music scene. Why does he feel he has to cater to the masses when the piano stuff works so well?Placement:
Maybe they can use it as a theme for one of those pro wrestling events or monster truck rallies.Memorable:
No. It's a rip of the themes used by so many great artists going all the way back to the golden age of rock and roll, and still being pushed out today.Lyrics:
More whiny teenage goth-girl poetry:"So true
I want to look at the empty sky and feel a kind of catharsis
So true
My own existence is so small My own existence will soon end
So true so true to face"
Overall:
Not even worthy of putting down. One.
Nephrite - Frosted_Rain
Tone/Mood
Oh yeah, JROCK at it's finest! Long, cool intro to start the song with lots of shouting, drum bashing and solo electric guitar preformances. FLY, RAVENS, FLY!Placement
N/AMemorable
Oh yeah, nothing like good live rock music... i remember. Probably this song will find its way on a gothic-genre anime in the future (like Hellsing and Trinity Blood)Lyrics
Yo say! It's not too late Just cry out those all your bull sxxts Get lost! Fxxk my way off! Beggin me down killing me down For true, do't know why I wanna fly high and reach the sky blue. Whoa! EXPLICIT LYRICS!!! Now that's what I call ROCK MUSIC! Fly, Endo-san, Fly High!!!Overall Rating
5/5 Oh yeah. I can't wait for the longer version of this song. Good to hear for all those jrock fans (sorry jpop fans, it's not your type).
