"This is a friendly reminder, don't upload mp3s."
Jeez, and I was about to post some of my t3mdc songs too (granted, we do other peoples' stuff, oh well). I guess whoever in charge decided a blanket ban was easier to deal with. Whatever. And here I was, not half an hour after rendering La Soldier and thinking it'd make a great showcase piece here. I practised my part for weeks until I was hoarse, too :|
In any case, you can grab the original here (i'dliketoseethemtrytakingthatdown) - http://www.sailormusic.net/tracks/bonus_singles.html
It's the 1st song in the 1st group of 4 songs ("La Soldier & Sailor War", CODC-227). It's in ogg vorbis format, if your pitiful media player can't handle that, download Audacity (a well-known freeware music utility) and export it as mp3 (you'll need to google the LAME mp3 codec to export in mp3 btw, and that's also a free download).
La Soldier / performed by Moon Lips
これ以上ムリよ 待てないわ
スレスレで 終らせないで
あなたのすべて 欲しい
ふたりをへだてたスライドが
ハラリ 滑り落ちて あとは
露わにされた真珠
まなざしに攻められて
こころが透き通る 芯まで
幾千年 くり返した
恋は神秘の戦いね
あなたからの あいのMoon light
浴びてわたしは 変わってゆく
鮮やかに 秘めやかに La Soldier
もっとこのままで いたいけど
微笑みで変わす別れに
約束はこめないで
また逢える次回が明日でも
二百年後でも同じ
運命が迎えにくる
こころの形 そっと
なぞって 忘れずに 憶えて
めぎりめぐる ロマンの中
恋はいつでも 戦いね
わたしは今愛のLunatic
奇蹟も夢も見せてあげる
果てしなく 麗わしく La Soldier
幾千年 くり返した
恋は神秘の戦いね
あなたからの あいのMoon light
浴びてわたしは 変わってゆく
鮮やかに 秘めやかに La Soldier

I've had enough, I can't wait anymore
We're so close... Don't let it end
I want all of you
We are separated by a slide
But after gently sliding downwards
A pearl was revealed to us
From the way you look at me
It's like you can see into my mind, even into my heart
Repeated for thousands of years
Love is a mysterious battle, isn't it?
From you comes the Moonlight of love
I'm showered in it and am transformed
Vividly, secretly, into La Soldier
Continuing like this is painful, but...
The smile that we exchange as we part
Does not include a promise
We may meet again tomorrow...
or in 200 years - it's the same
Our meeting is foreordained
The shape of the heart is secret
It's said to be a riddle - don't forget... remember!
Cycling around again in this romance
Love is always a battle, isn't it?
Right now, I'm a love Lunatic
Miracles and dreams... I'll show them to you
Everlastingly, Beautifully, La Soldier
Repeated for thousands of years
Love is a mysterious battle, isn't it?
From you comes the Moonlight of love
I'm showered in it and am transformed
Vividly, secretly, into La Soldier

One of my favourite bits is
まなざしに攻められて
こころが透き通る 芯まで
Struck by that look
My heart becomes transparent to the core
(the synth part at the end of the first line was a nice touch)... What do YOU read into that tone of voice? Mind, I've been (re)re-reading OACDYCSF recently.
Oh, and we do an instrumental version centered around a couple of glockenspiels. Can't gloss over mistakes like you can on a synth.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programme.
When is Sins of a Solar Empire coming out? I can't freaking wait! :D
