Ok, so I have this little side job I do writing arrangements of anime themes for string quartets to play at anime conventions. We've decided we're actually going to record and sell a CD of these pieces, but the 10 pieces I've written already only fill about half the CD! So we need suggestions for what else should be written and included on the CD. If you have any favorite anime themes that you'd like to hear on this CD, make your voice heard now, and I might be willing to give out freebies to anyone who's suggestion is put on the CD...

What songs do you have planned for the CD now?

Here's my suggestions:
Lupin III '78 Theme (same as the theme to the current Cartoon Network version)

Just Wild Beat Communication (theme to Gundam Wing)

Invoke or Moment (both from Gundam SEED - Invoke is more high energy, Moment is beautiful)

God Finger (Burning Gundam battle theme from Mobile Fighter G Gundum)

Tank! from Cowboy Bebop, just because it would be awesome to hear it done by a string quartet

Currently the list is:
Bolero of Sorrow (Excel Saga ending)
Blue (Cowboy Bebop)
Change the World (Inu-Yasha opening)
Yakusoku wa Iranai (Escaflowne opening)
Zankoku na Tenshi no Thesis (Evangelion opening)
Hiru no Tsuki (Outlaw Star 2nd ending)
Yume no Naka e (string version, His and Her Circumstances)
Let Me Be With You (Chobits opening)
Melody - Salva Nos version (Noir)
Sakura Saku (Love Hina opening)
The Starry Sky (Angelic Layer 1st ending)

We're already planning on doing Just Communication, and the Lupin one was on the list of possibilities... but I hadn't thought of Invoke! Thanks!
Keep the ideas coming!

Oh, and Tank? Phew... Not gonna happen... It just doesn't translate well to string quartet, believe me, I tried!

Shit, I was gonna recommend Tank next, too. Oh well, thanks for trying. I was also gonna recommend all sorts of Inu Yasha music, but having Change The World on there is good enough for me.

Great idea man, and best of luck to you. I look forward to the end result.

I actually did some brainstorming, and it could be POSSIBLE to do Tank... It would sound different of course, without the drums, but it could work... I'll keep it in mind. :^)
