TOKYO BABYLON FST: BOX
what's poppin TyoBabi fandom, I got a present for you
.zip File Download:
DISCS 1 & 2 (109MB)
This FST is basically an in-depth run down of the collection of songs that were sung/mentioned/in the "VOL. 7/BOX" chapter of Tokyo Babylon 5, with some info about the artists and songs themselves. This, as far as I know, is the most thorough run-through of the music of "BOX" on the English web! I've divided it into two "discs", the first being the songs mentioned themselves, and the second being a few fun related extras. You can check out the second disc over on Radio Free T.Y.O, if you're interested ♥
Ginza no Koi no Monogatari
銀座の恋の物語 - "Ginza Love Story"
石原裕次郎・牧村旬子 - Ishihara Yuujirou and Makimura Junko
mp3 download || youtube
The song that Seishirou and Hokuto are pouring their very souls into to perform in the beginning of the chapter. Released in 1961, this a smoky, jazzy duet typical of its time, telling the story of two star-crossed lovers, one in Tokyo and one in Ginza. It was an immediate hit, even having a movie based upon it made, starring Ishihara-san in the lead role. It's a staple duet in karaoke even to this day.
Nakanaide
泣かないで - "Don't Cry"
舘ひろし - Tachi Hiroshi
mp3 download || youtube
The song that the random selector spits up for Subaru to sing, which Sei-chan subsequently picks up after sending him off to buy cigarettes/exorcise the OL. This was released in 1984, by Tachi Hiroshi, a singer and actor who became quite the sensation when he had a starring role in 西部警察 (Seibu Keisatsu; "Western Police") -- incidentally, directed by the abovementioned Ishihara-san, as you'd have it. "Nakanaide" was a hit, coming in 59th on the ORICON's 1984 top singles list. It's from his seventh album In the Mood.
Nanpasen
難破船 - "Shipwreck"
中森明菜 - Nakamori Akina
m4a download || youtube
The song that the OL ghost sings. A dark and heartfelt song about a dying love, it was a massive hit when it was released in 1987, shooting straight to the top of the ORICON charts (as Nakamori-san's 17th number one hit), and has been a karaoke regular since then, just as the OL says in the chapter. Originally written and performed by the very respected Kato Tokiko for her 最後のダンスパーティ (Saigo no Dance Party; "Last Dance Party") album of 1984; she personally requested that Nakamori-san perform the song. It's been covered countless times, including by the original singer/songwriter and the cover artist themselves.
Daite...
抱いて… - "Hold Me..."
松田聖子 - Matsuda Seiko
mp3 download || youtube
Not actually sung, but the OL ghost suggests she'd like to sing it next. A dramatic and emotional slice of idol pop from the Eternal Idol herself, Matsuda Seiko (who also performs "Who's That Boy", found on Single White). Released in 1987 as a promo-only single from her fifteenth studio album, 1988's Citron. Despite never being released as an official single, it's one of Matsuda's more popular songs, especially karaoke-wise. It's rather interesting that the OL picks a Matsuda song directly after a Nakamori Akina track -- the pair were notorious rivals in the 80s, supposedly even in love.
Benkyo no Uta
勉强の歌 - "Study Song"
森高千里 - Moritaka Chisato
mp3 download || youtube
The song Hokuto is singing when Subaru attempts to sneak back into the karaoke box. Released in 1991, it peaked at #4 on the ORICON charts, and was remixed on Moritaka's second remix album as ザ・勉強の歌 (Za・Benkyo no Uta; "The・Study Song"). It was used as the opening theme to the anime TV series "Mischievous Twins: The Tales of St. Clare's". It's a totally gimmicky song (complete with voguing in the very weird video clip), though cheerful and catchy, so its popularity on the karaoke circuit at the time shouldn't surprise anyone. (You just know that Hokuto unironically adored this song, and drove Subaru batty by singing it at every opportunity.)
Wakaretemo Suki na Hito
別れても好きな人 - "Beloved Even if We're Separated"
ロス・インディオス&シルヴィア - Los Indios & Silvia
mp3 download || youtube
The song that Hokuto announces Subaru should sing with Seishirou as punishment for being late. Another staple in the duets section of karaoke, still, this 1979 release was actually a cover. The song was released by two Toshiba EMI artists, Matsudaira Kemeko and the Purple Shadows, respectively, in 1969. In October 1975, Los Indios released a single-voice version, and in 1979 it was rearranged as a male and female duet, with some lyrics changed slightly. The song was an instant hit, and by 1980, it had sold a million copies.

QSMP EGG SONGS (updated) (long post)
TALLULAH: Goodbye My Danish Sweetheart by Mitski / Here Comes A Thought from Steven Universe
“And I don't blame you
If you want to bury me in your memory
I'm not the girl I ought to be, but
Maybe when you tell your friends
You can tell them what you saw in me
And not the way I am
And I don't mean to make your heart blue
But could we be what we're meant to be?
I'm just about to beg you, please
And then, when you tell your friends
You can tell them what you saw in me
And not the way I used to be”
“Here comes a thought that might alarm me
What someone said and how it harmed me
Something I did that failed to be charming
Things that I said are suddenly swarming
And, oh, I'm losing sight, I'm losing touch
All these little things seem to matter so much
That they confuse me
That I might lose me”
BOBBY: Mi Último Deseo by Banda Los Recoditos / Mother’s Song from Wolf Children
“Me gustan los parties y las desveladas
Lunes a Domingo y toda la semana
Me la paso alegre y disfruto la vida
Y así seguiré hasta mi último día
Me gusta el desmadre, el ambiente me prende
Yo así soy feliz, no le temo a la muerte
Yo no pienso en eso, es tiempo perdido
Pues nadie se escapa de nuestro destino”
“泣きはらした目で 膝を抱える
訳を聞かせて すべて話して
だいじょうぶ どこへも行かないよ
なにがあっても いっしょにいるよ
あなたの笑った顔が 好きよ
落ち込んでいても 元気をくれる
ルルル ルルル おいで 歌 歌おうよ
うおおん うおおん おいで のど 鳴らそうよ”
SUNNY: Sunny by Boney M / What if they’re right from Bob’s Burgers
“Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
The dark days are gone
And the bright days are here
My Sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny one so true, I love you”
“Feels like
Something's wrong with me
And they know it
They took one look my way and exposed it
I'm ready to give up the fight
And just admit that they are right.”
RAMÓN: Talk to You by Ricky Montgomery / John, Take Me With You by JW Francis
“Been a pretty long time
Been a really long time
Sincе you saw me last
Since I saw you last
Wonder if wе met today
Would you turn and walk away?
Would you take me for a ride?
Would you toss me to the side?”
“Do you want your time alone?
You're the place I feel at home
I'll be roaming
I've got my phone
And you call when you feel all right
And you can call when you feel all right
And you can call when you feel all right”
DAPPER: you are my sunshine by Christina Perri but specifically sung by BadBoyHalo / Black Hair by Alex G
“You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take
My sunshine away
The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you
In my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried”
“Black hair it's swimming in my head
Black hair it's bigger than death
Black hair don't leave me in the dirt
Black hair I'll show you what I'm worth”
LEONARDA: memories by Maki Otsuki / Cop Car by Mitski
“Moshi mo sekai ga kawaru no nara
Nanimo shiranai koro no watashi ni
Tsurete itte omoide ga
Iro asenai you ni
Chisana koro kara uta o utatte
Yume miru kokoro atatameteta
Minna de maneshita himitsu no merodei
Kondo wa jouzu ni kikoeru you ni”
“I get mean when I'm nervous like a bad dog
I get mean when I'm nervous like a bad dog”
CHAYANNE: When I Grow Up from Matilda the Musical / Today Today by Jack Stauber
“When I grow up, when I grow up (When I grow up)
I will be strong enough to carry all
The heavy things you have to haul
Around with you when you're a grown-up
And when I grow up, when I grow up (When I grow up)
I will be brave enough to fight the creatures
That you have to fight beneath the bed
Each night to be a grown-up”
“Today, today is one of those days
That carries you slowly into next time
And as those walk by, you see with your eye
Part of me is repeatedly given”
JUANAFLIPPA: Everything Stays from Adventure Time / Sarah by Alex G
“Everything stays right where you left it
Everything stays
But it still changes
Ever so slightly, daily and nightly
In little ways, when everything stays”
“I can't be what you need
I am stuck in a dream
I am stuck in a dream
Don't you know she's been here all along in a dream?
She belongs in a dream”

“Si tú quieres bailar, jugar, pintar, cantar
Tú puedes venir a mi casa
La idea es compartir, te vas a divertir
Si quieres venir a mi casa
Quiero invitar a jugar a mi casa
A todas mis amigas y amigos
Quiero saltar y bailar
Y lo que tengo, compartir contigo”
EMPANADA: Escapism from Steven Universe / No More Birthdays by Sophie May / Sweet Tooth by Maya Hawke (im not biased idk what you mean)
“I guess I have to face
That in this awful place
I shouldn't show a trace of doubt
But pulled against the grain
I feel a little pain
That I would rather do without
I'd rather be
Free, free, free
I'd rather be
Free, free, free
Free, free, free
From here”
“My baby don’t cry
She just sleeps through the night
She don’t fuss, she don’t wine
She stays perfectly quiet
But while I watch her grow (I watch her grow)
My poor heart grows a hole
Oh, Lord, say (Say it ain't so) it ain't so
Can't you please make an exception? I've got good intentions
I just crave protection for my ball of perfection”
“Told my mother that I love her
And that I'd lie to the accountant if she wants
I'll do whatever to protect her
I'll say anything just to make her stop
I saw a movie everybody hated
In an empty theatre in Duluth
Swear I really loved it
Love is such a better thing to do
I'm grateful for everything you put me through
It's the only reason I'm any good to talk to
When I'm sick or suffering, I'll still call you
About my big, sore sweet tooth”
POMME: Enfance 80 by Mattyeux, Videoclub / Mai by Videoclub / Class of 2013 by Mitski
“J'ai touché l'enfance dans mes doigts encore feutrés
Ressassé cette histoire comme si je l'avais rencontrée
La vraie belle nouveauté, c'est celle qui ne vieillit pas
Celle qui nous garde le ciel pastel, l'orage quand il fait froid
Je laisse aux autres les demains
Moi, je prends que les maintenant
Si c'est pour penser la fin
Compte sur mes rêves d'enfant
Je laisse aux autres les demains
Moi, je prends que les maintenant
Si c'est pour penser la fin
Compte sur mes rêves d'enfant”
“M'envoler dans la pluie
Déchirer mes copies
Échanger ces regards et pouvoir rentrer très tard
J'aurais dû sauver le jour pour t'offrir la nuit
Tes yeux regards hagards, essaye j'ai ma part
J'aurais pu, j'aurais dû
Oublier voir l'été
Entre tes doigts
Moi je les vois
Les couleurs d'autrefois”
“Mom, am I still young?
Can I dream for a few months more?”
TILÍN: Mama’s Boy by Dominic Fike / I Miss My Mum by Cavetown
“How do my plans fit in with yours? (Oh)
You're such a doll and I'm a boy
Where did my parents go? (Oh, oh)
I'm not in Italy
They like vacation homes much more than they love me”
“The sun feels nice
Through the window with a view
It's fine bein' a person
'Cause I got to meet you, ooh
Buddy
You just need to find home
And I think maybe
You just miss your mum”
TRUMP: I Wait for You by Alex G / O Superman by Laurie Anderson
“It's what I do
I wait for you
I wait for you
I wait for you
I wait for you
I wait for you”
“So hold me, Mom, in your long arms
So hold me, Mom, in your long arms
In your automatic arms, your electronic arms
In your arms
So hold me, Mom, in your long arms
Your petrochemical arms, your military arms
In your electronic arms”
RICHARLYSON: Velha Infância by Tribalistas / Boys Will Be Bugs by Cavetown
“Você é assim
Um sonho pra mim
E quando eu não te vejo
Eu penso em você
Desde o amanhecer
Até quando eu me deito
Eu gosto de você
E gosto de ficar com você
Meu riso é tão feliz contigo
O meu melhor amigo é o meu amor”
“The other boys at school
Think it's cool to hate your parents
But they're lying all the time
The bugs advised that I should let 'em
And if you wanna cry
Make sure that they never see it
Or even better yet
Block it out and never feel it
I just turned 14
And I think I know everything”
CHUNSIK / 춘식: Water Island from My Singing Monsters
“The ocean's deep
The currents strong
Right here I found where I belong
It's all around
Can you feel the sound?
I'm alright now
Cool, calm, and clear like water
I'll make it somehow
I'll go with the flow like water”
HOPE: Any Day Now by Bo Burnham / Last Words of a Shooting Star by Mitski
“It'll stop any day now (any day now, any day now)
It'll stop any day now (any day now, any day now)
It'll stop any day now (any day now, any day now)
It'll stop any day now (any day now, any day now)
It'll stop any day now (any day now, any day now)
It'll stop any day now (any day now, any day now)”
“They'll never know how I'd stared at the dark in that room
With no thoughts
Like a blood-sniffing shark
And while my dreams made music in the night
Carefully
I was going to live”
GEGG: Things To Do by Alex G
“Hold on tight to this time, this place
'Cause everything you know will be erased
You were born inside your head
And that is where you'll be when you are dead
You are just a boy you are no man and
Nobody you know will understand
You are just a boy you are no man and
Nobody you know will understand”

After the Rain- Tokyo Clone (東京クローン) English Lyrics
ハイセンスナンセンス
ぶっ壊してオッケー
High-sense nonsense
Beat the shit out of it, ok?
アンハッピーぶった世界を壊してください
道行く人の波は お手元の画面に涙
感情が電波に乗ってバグっちゃうわ
Destroy this unhappy, sob-story of a world
Waves of people in the street cry at the screens in their hands
Everyone’s emotions swing with their signal and they’re bugging out
本当を聞かせて?
本当です
なら目を合わせて?
うるさいなあ
Tell me the truth?
It’s the truth
Then look me in the eyes?
stfu
泣いて泣くほど手を叩いてさ
言葉の裏の裏
買い直した素顔で実際の心境は?
I’ve done the crying. I’ve clapped my hands so hard that I've cried
On the other side of every word
And behind that bareface you paid to fix, what’s your actual mental state?
今日も一日0点で完 はい
ぱっぱらぱなしで問題はない はい
うざいくらいの正論に凹んだ今日は燃えないゴミの中へ
Got a 0 today and that’s a wrap. ‘Kay!
Not gonna clean up everywhere, not gonna do my share. ‘Kay!
All these annoying ideologies are bringing me down, so they’re going out with the unburnable garbage today
どろん
東京クローン 近未来は表の裏で踊る
映えない日常を捨てたら 今日から本当のボクら
東京クローン どうしてなんで 常識も何も壊せ
上下なんて関係ないぜ 好きに踊ればいい
明日が来るまで
k bai
Tokyo Clone, the near-future dances behind what’s on the surface
If we throw away these un-instagrammable lives, we could start being our real selves
Tokyo Clone, why are we like this? Common sense, anything, destroy it
Hierarchies don’t mean anything here! Just dance how you like
Until tomorrow comes
目に映る世界を暴いてください
間に合わせじゃ意味ないし
貼り付けた仮面はどれも
ハイセンスなふりして失敬だわ
Expose how the world is reflected in your eyes
Not like it matters if you make your deadlines
Each of these pasted masks
Act like they’re high-sense; what a disgrace
どうだっていいこと 有象無象を集めた
それが都会とかいうモンスターなんだ
Pointless things draw the masses
That’s the monster this city is
あー切って貼って 正しいってなるなら
願ったもの全て叶いそう
そりゃ結構 期待はしないぜ
Ah, cut and paste, as long as it becomes “right”
Anything you wish for can come true, apparently
Well, no thx. I’m not gonna get my hopes up
生まれ持ったカードで
勝敗決まる賭博みたいな
イカサマのしようもない
しょうもない人生というゲーム
The cards I was born with
Decide the outcome of this gamble
There’s no way to cheat
This cheating game of life
長考したって何も変わらない どう転んでも
ならばいっそ終わってしまえばいい
Thinking long and hard won’t change anything, this life doesn’t give out good lemons
I just want to get it all done and over with
今日も一日0点で完
ぱっぱらぱなしで問題はない
どうだって何も変わりやしないさ
妄想をぶちまけて
Got a 0 today and that’s a wrap
Not gonna clean up everywhere, not gonna do my share
Not like I can change anything anyways
Let your delusions run wild
どろん
東京クローン 誰だって モラル トレンド被せ
消えない傷なんてむしろ特別さ 洒落て見えるぜ
東京クローン 似通った 服着てボクと歌おう
上下なんて関係ないぜ 好きに踊ればいい
明日が来るまで
k bai
Tokyo Clone, everyone, anyone, wear the morals and trends
Permanent wounds are what’s really special. They look lit as fuck
Tokyo Clone, I wear the same clothes as everyone elseー sing with me
Hierarchies don’t mean anything here! Just dance how you like
Until tomorrow comes
東京クローン wow
Wow 東京クローン
Tokyo Clone, wow
Wow, Tokyo Clone
君が泣きそうな夜へ
For the nights you want to cry
東京クローン wow
wow 東京クローン
Tokyo Clone, wow
Wow, Tokyo Clone
ボクらトんでいくぜ
We’re gonna go all out!
ハイセンスナンセンス
ぶっ壊してオッケー
High-sense nonsense
Beat the shit out of it, ok?
