Hi everyone on minegarde, tis the annoying blue haired kino...

I need help debtating on 4 songs to use for my Senior Art Portfolio

-what is it? - My senior art portfolio is a about a 5 min video showing my progression in a program I am called Art Academy. from freshman-senior year. And I theme I have to incorporate into this video.

I plan on using video game songs, but most likely I will be using touhou stuff.

the first song I know what I am going to use for sure is "Bad Apple" but I don't know whether to do vocal or non vocal
- non vocal -
- vocal -

and if anyone has song suggestions, please post too
I want my portfolio to be good, since I will also be sending them to different colleges, and the "school board of education" of my city, and some people, like the principal of my HS will be watching them.

^__^;; I sound all sucky... I'm not good a decisions

I'd go vocal, for me, it makes things seem more alive...otherwise I find them kinda bland. I wouldn't know what songs to recommend you to use though
you mentioned my name accidentally >_>

I did?

Not sure what emotional chord you want to strike on your presentation but I suggest Ningen un tte by KOKIA. She is not well known Japan and actually she prefers to reside in France but Akiko is a great singer better than a lot of drivel the Japanese seem to prefer. In any event here is a link to a fan vid with her music:

In a presentation, I believe music should be a background thing, not the main attraction. So I'd say non-vocal, because it's a distraction to what yr trying to showcase. UNLESS, the lyrics go hand in hand WITH the presentation.

For example, someone is presenting a design for a building of a hospital. Anyone with a decent thought process wouldn't use a mainstream hip-hop or a death metal song, but more likely a classy orchestrated ensemble or some slow-tempo instrumental, just for moods sake.

I dunno, its been a long day at work and its just my two pennies.

-fantasy
-anime
-other stuff

The non-vocal loses quite a lot of the melody the voice makes it the song in a case like this, for instance the when the beat mostly stops for the questions "こんな自分に未来はあるの? こな世界にわたしわいるよ?" It sounds beautiful, which is lost without the vocals... yeah, Bad Apple!! is beautiful and depressing. needs the voice, of the two choices at least You should try to incorporate Lilium, mainly because I've been listening to it all day <3. It can be used as a backdrop for anything beautiful
