Prowling

Postby Moon Princess on Sat Mar 22, 2008 5:30 am

It's damn quiet.

Perhaps I can rouse some conversation. Since it's Easter weekend, what's better than a lil hunting. No no, not for eggs... rather for scans and other interesting media. If you're looking for something and can't find it... images of a certain character or whatever else perhaps someone else has it or can find it.

I'll just share a torrent I've downloaded and am seeding right now.

Return To Zero - Fate Zero Original Image Soundtrack was released at Comiket 73. The instrumental tracks are okie, but it's the two vocal tracks that stand out. Track 02 - Starlit Faith and Track 15 - Beginning Oath are both sung in English.

Download Torrent

I'm sharing this cause I took the time to type out the lyrics from the scanned booklet. I'm placing them in a spoiler tag to save space. Copy and save if you want...

CD: Fate Zero Original Image Soundtrack
---------------------------------------

02 Starlit Faith
Vocals: Watanabe Kazuhiro

Once in time there was a place
A Place called Life, where we all belonged
Shining past, dreams of tomorrow
All fade away, we let it go

A day in life there was a time
Time so pure, time we all believed
Love for the world, free from the sorrow
So far away to go back now

But the light will lead me back to you
Through the valley of darkness, it guides me through
The slightest desire will know the way

Reach out, the starry skies above
Catch a shining star

We will be there
Love will return
Back to the stars
We will return
(to)where we belong

Coldest of the winter nights
Darkness of the pitch black skies
May this body parish to dust
I will hold you here, crown your love in my heart

Yes, the light will lead me back to you
Under the starless clouds, this faith is true
The slightest of hope will show the way

Reach out, the starry skies above
Catch a shining star

We will be there
Love will return
Back to the stars
We will return

We will be there
Love will return
Back to the stars
We will return
(to)where we belong

-----

15 Beginning Oath
Vocals: Itou Kanako

After the rain
And after all the broken hearts
Silence embraces us
Like blackets of stars in the sky

I'd ask an Angel
If I ever have the chance
You gave up your world...
Why your dreams, [why] it asked for more..*

Your seedling of love
Strech out the timeless branch of life
The tree of hope will grow
Before the storm
Holding faith in my heart
Your love, resolve, grow strong
So strong

I'll ask the angels
So when you get there I will know
I give you my world...
And your dreams, inherit in mine

Your seedling of love
Strech out the timeless branch of life
Sleep in peace my love
The night has gone
Holding you in my heart
This oath will bind us strong
So strong

* [Why your dreams, why it asked for more..] is in the printed lyrics. However, it is sung [Why your dreams, it asked for more..] so I left the lyrics as is with the absent [why] commented.

Edit: I'm gonna have to kill that blinding blue link color. >.<

I usualy consider myself good at finding things. But this is something I haven't been able to find since the WWW was around.

It was a movie, possibly b-rated, that was in the very early 80's. It's about a kid who's obsessed with an arcade game. He constantly tries to beat it beyond a certain level. Eventually he finally beats it and some wireframe face (back then alot of arcade games were done with wireframe graphics e.g. Asteroids and Battlezone) starts talking to him and comes to life and tries to kill him.

I have yet to find this movie or any hint as to what the name of it could be.

Hmm. I haven't listened to Return to Zero yet... I have this tendancy to download alot of things at once and then forget about them until I sort them out. I think the copy I have is a FLAC though, a format I'm not terribly impressed with.

I am in search of something in particular though, and have had no luck on any front in finding it. Or them, to be specific. Its two songs, both by Nozomi Odagi, circa 1999, titled Aurifer and Druid, both from the OAV Harlock Saga. From what I can find, they were apparently released together as a single in 1999, but as for finding a copy online for download, or even a CD to buy, I have been rather unsuccessful. Below is a YouTube clip of the ending animation for Harlock Saga, featuring the song Aurifer. A ridiculously melancholy song.



If anyone can find this for me you would have both my gratitude and respect for your tracking abilities. =)

Got some hits on an OST. It's called Captain Harlok - Symphonic Suite (Harlock Saga OST)

Request #1:

Nightmares
1983

There were four stories in one show. The one you want is the second story called "Bishop of Battle" staring Emilio Estevez.

IMDb
Wikipedia

Bishop of Battle Part 1
Bishop of Battle Part 2
Bishop of Battle Part 3

-----

Request #2:

I really love these two songs myself.

I'm waiting for different versions to download to see which one is best of each song. However, both are only as you hear at the end of the ova itself. I'm trying to get my hands on the two OST's to see if the full versions are on them and not just the ova length. I'll keep looking for the full versions, but I'll send you the best of the ova versions I find.

Yeah I found more hits when I found out that aurifer had two spellings.

And Sonya, words can not express the gratitude I have for you having found this movie for me. I am not worthy. I reliniquish my claim of an expert at finding things to you. Thank you so very much.

Ok Gray, here's the first song. I'll edit this post when the second song is released. It's in mp3 format. 44/128. I'm hopeing that there are some HQ's out there but this is what I have so far.

Two things to note: 1. they sound pretty good for 44/128's. 2. The second theme's missing the first 6 seconds.

I still have HQ's on queue but it's not looking like they are going to hit any time soon. Sorry.

EDIT: the second one is 192/44 but still has the first 6 seconds missing.

I found what I thought was a HQ of the second ending. It's the complete song, however for a 48/256 it sounds like someone took a lower quality one and stepped it up or they used a poor encoder, it seems more obvious when the bass gets more intense. Moon, it's the same one you grabbed, infact I get mine from you, I did a speaker compare..if you don't mind try a headphone compare and tell me what you think.

Stalker huh? Does it seem that way? It really isn't my fault that i've bumped into places you are or have been as we have similar interests. I'm certainly not looking for you out there, and for your own security I won't disclose how it came about or where I found you.

Seeing as how you've already aquired various dl's of the songs Gray has been looking for I'm going to go ahead and remove them from my webspace (I only have a 5MB space, never really needed alot of that anyway) and put back what I had up before.
