extrapenguinI've been a bit busy with other things, so this is a bit late. Sorry.
In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favorite interview, a book, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much.![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)

Now, I decided to "return to roots" with this, so to speak, and offer something that I haven't really talked about before: Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. I reeeeally liked the Major, and she was a bit of a formative influence, I think. But what I've carried with me the most is the music. Not limited to Japanese and English, but also spanning such languages as Russian and Italian in a much more global than usual linguistic palette, the lyrics are more than word salad evocative of a feel and instead rather gut-punchy in places, and it's all COMPOSED BY YOKO KANNO.
Here are some of my favorites:
Inner Universe
(another translation
Rise
(a translation)
I Can't be Cool
(a translation)
Player
(a translation)
Date of Rebirth
(a translation (scroll down a bit to see romanized Russian + >English side by side))
