The song is called Rise. Or both? :-) If so, that really is a pretty song. I *thought* I was hearing snippets of English in there, even though the closed captioning just said Singing in Japanese, or something like that. Singing in Russian actually. (Quite distinct from Japanese to my ear) The singer is Origa AKA Olga Vitalevna Jakovleva . From Wiki: Origa has as of 2005 released seven solo albums, two mini-albums, and 3 singles. She gained popularity outside of Japan and Russia with the release of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and the subsequent original soundtrack, written by long-time friend and composer Yoko Kanno, hosting the theme song Inner Universe (featuring boy soprano Benedict Delmaestro). (Origa first performed with Kanno for the ? Gundam, singing Gabriela Robin's Moon with the Gey's AX chorus.) An additional opening theme song from Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd GIG (the second season of the popular anime series), Rise, also gained acclaim. I really love the quality of her voice. I found a website where I could d/l MP3s of many anime theme tracks (most of which are performed and/or written by popular Japanese bands) and ended up burning a CD of my favorite Anime music tracks. So now I have all the GITS, Cowboy BeBop, and FullMetal Alchemist music I can eat. I even have the theme to Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo which is quite ass kicking on its own thank you very much. The full versions are much better that the edited versions heard during the credits. My track list goes like this 1 Justice League Unlimited theme 2 Inner Universe (GITS first theme) Origa and Yoko Kanno 3 Real Folk Blues (Cowboy BeBop closer) 4 Rewrite (FMA opener in the final episodes) 5 Run Rabbit Junk (GITS incidental) Yoko Kanno 6 Tank (Cowboy Bebop opener) 7 Wild Challenger (Bo Bo Bo opener) Jindou 8 Ready Steady Go (older FMA opener) L'Arc~En~Ceil 9 Rise (current GITS opener) Origa and Yoko Kanno It is a bit short really, bit just long enough for my normal commute.

to admitting that you have NOTHING left to write about but your job,
and it's about the U.S.A., which says I am SUCH a loser that I have
to kiss your national ass to get any airplay.

Nights in white satin, Never reaching the end, Letters I've written, Never meaning to send. Beauty I'd always missed With these eyes before, Just what the truth is I can't say anymore. 'cause I love you, Yes, I love you, Oh, how, I love you. Gazing at people, Some hand in hand, Just what I'm going thru They can understand. Some try to tell me Thoughts they cannot defend, Just what you want to be You will be in the end, And I love you, Yes, I love you, Oh, how, I love you. Oh, how, I love you.

Re: Hello (hello, hello)
This is an unfinished song that my lovely and delicate wife and I started writing while driving back from the Pacific Northwest. We were in the kind of mood that is driving this thread, having just turned off God Bless the USA or some other piece of patrioreligious tripe. We haven't recorded it yet, but we do have music. If you've heard God Bless the USA, you know where we're headed with this. Think of the frighteningly sincere cowboy type who has to choke back tears on every other line. Think lots of swelling strings. I Love America (And Jesus Does, Too) When God was creating the earth, He saved the best for us: The grandest canyon, The rockiest mountains, Great plains alive with grains. For God so loved the world That He gave His only Son, And to our most-favored nation, This land. (spoken) Thy will be done The master has a purpose For this land under red, white, and blue. Yes, I love America, And Jesus does, too. He walked upon the waters Created us equally And blessed our founding fathers From sea to shining sea His gift has been wrapped in red, white, and blue.
