Subject: Shinigami

Title: Amen

Warnings: Spoil, spoil, spoil. Please read the entire manga before reading the commentary on this mix. This series is full of soap-opera-style twists and turns, and I love it so much that I really don't want to ruin any of it for you.

Notes: An FST for Full Moon, based heavily on the manga (in contrast to the anime). Made for the sad lack of mixes to any Arina Tanemura work, and because I love this series to death - not the happy-go-lucky anime. The manga, as any hardcore Full Moon fan knows, is a whole lot darker, for better or worse. (Angst, might I add, with a happy ending! Remarkable!)Shinigami is the topic, but it extends to Eichi and, of course, shinigami interaction with Mitsuki. Ah, come on. Cover art is pretty. You know you want it~. All songs wallow in angst, except for the two (bonus) shippy-songs, that are too happy for my super-exclusive angst-muffin mix!





AMEN - A Shinigami FST



(1)...smells like teen spirit/tori amos (takuto, meroko, mitsuki: lament for teen angst)

our little group/it's always been/and always will be/until the end

(2)... bleed like me/garbage (shinigami et al: hidden vices)

you should see my scars

(3)... in my head/anna nalick (mitsuki/eichi: clinging to love lost)

under the weight of your wings/i'll make believe
you are all that i'll ever need.../all that i need

(4)... afterglow/vanessa carlton (shinigami: finding life after death)

and as i sit here in this dark room/all i seem to
feel is light/i see color/i see the maroon/of this life

(5)... if god will send his angels/u2 (mitsuki/takuto: the night that mitsuki runs away to eichi)

nobody else here baby/no one here to blame/no one to point the finger/
it's just you and me and the rain

(6)... silent night/damien rice (meroko/izumi: their history says no, their hearts say yes)

silent night/moonlit night/nothing's changed/nothing's right/.../
i found some hate for you/just for show/you found some love for me/thinking i'd go

(7)... amen/jewel (shinigami: their failure sealed their fate)

only angels have wings/and the rest must wait to be saved

bonus:

pins and needles/billy talent (izumi/meroko: true love can hurt)

is it worth the pain/with no one to blame/for all of my insecurities/how did i ever let you go?/.../accept this confession/you're not my possession

crazy for this girl/evan & jaron (takuto/mitsuki: so far away, but so, so close)

she's got me thinking about her constantly/but she don't know how i feel/she carries on/without a doubt/i wonder if she's figured it out/i'm crazy for this girl
