infinity LAUNCH

Some of you might’ve seen how I have the writers of Rikutsu Kurasu structure their headings. For those of you that haven’t, it’s like this [I’m giving an example based on an upcoming fic I’m working on]:

‘Moon Child’
“Scare Tactics” by Ryuuzaki Kusakurin

DISCLAIMER: [insert disclaimer]

Warnings: [stuff like ‘rough language’, ‘violence’, etc., go here]
Characters: [characters involved in the story]
Theme Songs: [songs I listened to while working on the story]
Pairings: [if there are any pairings involved, they’re listed here]

[Author notes go here]

So, that aside, Yumi asked me why I ask for the theme song area, which in turn became a conversation about the most frequently used songs while writing, and then my favourites. So I made a list for her. [and she said I wouldn’t do it. Hah.]

Top 15 Songs of Summer 2008:

Number 15: Rumor [Miyavi]

Number 14: Obscure [Dir en grey]

Number 13: Nocturnal Romance [Moi dix Mois]

Number 12: Zhong Guo Hua [S.H.E.]

Number 11: Fragrance [Gackt]

Number 10: LOVE SAVER [T.M.Revolution]

Number 9: HOWLING [abingdon boys school]

Number 8: Season’s Call [HYDE]

Number 7: ダウﾄ＆トラスト [Access]

Number 6: Señor Señora Señorita [Miyavi]

Number 5: Zips [T.M.Revolution]

Number 4: Mizérable [Gackt]

Number 3: Vanilla [Gackt]

Number 2: Nine Spiral [Gackt]

Number 1: Illuminati [Malice Mizer]

I realise that Illuminati is vaguely blasphemous, but it got the top spot for sounding so good and being one of the first songs I heard of Malice Mizer. I immidiately fell in love with the band, and from there started wandering into an entirely new genre. I’m so glad I did. *nods*

Some Contenders [that didn’t make the list]:

Nervous Breakdown [abingdon boys school]
Innocent Sorrow [abingdon boys school]
瞳ノ翼 [Access]
EDGE [Access]
Sandstorm [Darude]
Lu:Na [Gackt]
Metamorphoze [Gackt]
BLACK STONE [Gackt]
Speed Master [Gackt]
Albireo [T.M.Revolution]
Invoke [T.M.Revolution]
Coinlockers Baby [Miyavi]
LOST HEAVEN [L’Arc~en~Ciel]
