Slayers Megumix Customer Reviews

I'd heard Megumi Hayashibara before then, but the first time I connected singing voice and name was when I heard "Midnight Blue," sung over the end credits of "Slayers: The Motion Picture." I was hooked. From that point on I was determined to locate as many Hayashibara recordings as I could. This was in the dark days before I had the internet and before I'd heard of CDJapan, so I had to prowl Japanese stores in New York and dealers' tables at conventions and I usually came up short. I did find several CDs of anime song collections and invariably the best songs on them were Megumi-sung songs from different incarnations of "Slayers." After I'd finally compiled a collection of her CDs, I realized that what I really needed was a collection devoted entirely to all her songs from "Slayers." Well, my prayers were answered with the release of this collection. And it's easily one of my favorite anime song CDs ever. All my favorites are here: "Midnight Blue," "Give a Reason," "Get Along," "Shining Girl," "Run All the Way," etc. She remains one of my favorite Japanese singers ever and the songs here are generally quite delightful--melodic, driving, and musically clever. And her clear, high voice brings out the best in them. The songs are sprinkled with English phrases which she handles with relish. "Get along, try again." "Give a reason for life." "Don't be afraid!" There are two discs of songs plus one disc for Karaoke. I have sung "Midnight Blue" in karaoke and this disc would have come in handy for practice. Well, there are more karaoke sessions ahead for the other songs. Still, instead of a karaoke disc, I would have preferred the third disc to be a DVD with music videos for the songs composed of anime clips from "Slayers." That would have been pretty awesome.

A really nice collection of songs from Slayers, real good choice for any fan of the anime series or movies.

A very nice selection of tracks. and the gold package is just gorgeous. I can't wait to listen the new single of Megumi Hayashibara (that comes in a little preview)

This is a perfect girt for any Slayers fan!!! Although I already had most of the songs, I really enjoy having this set <3 The highlight for me is the last track from the silver cd, "Kono Sekai no Dokoka de -MEGUMIX VERSION-" I was so happy she made her own version, I even cried, i was very moved! ;o; & the last cd, bronze, is great for parties, incuded many karaoke versions of slayers songs ^__^ The Megumi photobook was very beautiful! Awesome shots of megu <3333
