Week 41 Day 6 - Nami Tamaki

And.. moving on to my next post in the dead of the night, here's:-



Song: Prayer by 玉置 成実

Song: Sanctuary by 玉置 成実

Well, let's talk about each song individually first.
Prayer, contrary to what some people believe, was never used in any anime or game's context what-so-ever. Which is kinda interesting to say the least. While I do find this song like-able, it is pretty normal and sort of became a common tune for most of her later singles (or so I found). Anyways, some minor additional stuffs:-


[PV Angle 2. Where they take the dance routine in (what looks like) one take]


[A remixed version of the song, officially released on one of her later singles]

Now as for the second song, Sanctuary, was used as the OP to a (quite lesser known) anime, Kiba [牙-KIBA- | Fang]. I tried to follow it, but quickly lost too much interest in it. The OP found below:-



Additional stuffs include:-


[An awesome OP MAD for Gundam Unicorn]

Gundam 00 2nd also has a MAD treatment, but this one just looks like a normal audio replacement. Watchable here.


[A weird pitched down version of the song. One also exists for Prayer, but I rather link than embed]

I guess that's all for the 2 songs in question. Again, feeling a little... shorted out, here's a couple more:-



Song: Destiny by 玉置 成実

Only one additional video:-


[Awesome fan-made stuff for a great game]

And perhaps maybe one more? Let's see... which should I feature? Meh, I choose this:-



Song: Reason by 玉置 成実
Reason by Nami Tamaki

Mainly because of the few extra stuffs I can throw in. First up, this song was used as the ED to the mecha sequel Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny [機動戦士ガンダムSEED DESTINY | Kidō Senshi Gandamu Shīdo Desutinī] (occasionally known as the sequel that shouldn't happen, then again, I'm biased). The ED in question below:-

[Apologies for the LQ]

While I consider this one of her best songs ever, sadly the series wasn't the same. Nevertheless, I still enjoy this song greatly, almost on par with Realize (which I covered earlier before). Additional videos also include:-


[Dance angle of the PV]


[Megurine LUKA cover of the song. A short version featuring MIKU can also be viewed here.]


[A widely watched PV Mad. I'm just putting it]


[Another pitched down version]

Alright, that's all the additional stuffs I have for this post. As a bonus, you can click here to see what the other video I was contemplating of putting was. [The song is actually a cover of this, which was the ED of this. And also a Dave Rodgers version]

There. I've done it. Now I've set the standard.
But oh wells, time for me to close the post, and prepare for the next one.

Ciaoz

Note: I just realize I haven't heard from her in a while now, considering she was churning out about 4 singles a year back then.
