I was doing some room cleaning the other day and I found my copy of Soul Blade (The Japanese Version is named Soul Edge), the first fighting game that I bought when I got my PlayStation back in 1997. The opening cutscene and the theme song was amazing, I was so impressed with the graphics when I first seen it and I have to mention again, the music ROCKS! One thing bothering me was, although I think the song was superb, and I’ve probably listened to it more than a hundred times, I still couldn’t figure out what the singer was singing, so I did a little googling and I found a video that comes with the LYRICS. Finally! To Love! To Shine!

Here’s the lyrics :

Soul Blade (Soul Edge) Lyrics

Spoken part:
Transcending history and the world, a tale of soul and swords eternally
told

To love! To shine!

We all need to shine on, to see
how far we’ve come on our journey
How far yet to go, searching for our star

Deep in the night, I pray in my heart
for that special light
to shower me with love
to shower me with power
to shine from above

I got to get to the Edge of Soul, to carry on what I believed in from the
very start
I got to get to the Edge of Soul, to carry on deep in my heart

To love, to shine (2x)

Come strip down and face it, your all
About time you broke down your wall
Free your mind
A brand new world waits for you, you’ll find

Nobody can just do it for you
It’s time that you knew
It’s up to you to love
it’s up to you to shine
the light true and blue

You got to get to the Edge of Soul, to carry on what you believed in from
the very start

You got to get to the Edge of Soul, to carry on, deep in your heart

You got to get to the Edge of Soul, to carry on what you believed in from
the very start (3x)

You got to get to the Edge of Soul, to carry on, deep in your heart

To love, to shine! (2x)

To love!

Here’s the video:

Come to think of it, this game is already 9 years old, man I’m getting really old.

Ready for some kick ass music from Metal Gear Solid? Here’s a short clip from the Video Games Live Ochrestra Concert playing the main theme from the Metal Gear Solid.

Cool Zelda Soundboard for you to play with. It’s based on the first and second Zelda. I hope they can make one of these based on Ocarina of Time or Wind Waker.

Stepmania with The Legend of Zelda theme song? Weird…

I spot Jay playing Super Mario Theme again in a recent interview video with Hitoradio.com . In the beginning of the video, he’s actually playing a famous classical piano piece by Chopin. His new song, titled November’s Chopin is actually inspired by this famous piece. Towards the end of the clip, he shows off his skills again by playing a fast version of Mario Theme. He really likes playing Mario Theme doesn’t he? Well, this is enough to prove that he is an avid gamer after all.

If you don’t know this guy, he’s actually one of the most popular singer/composer around Asian countries especially among the Chinese-Speaking community. Jay Chou is a very talented Taiwanese musician specializing in R&B and Rap. He’s also known for his innovative usage of combining both Western and Chinese music styles to produce a fresh sound that is quite unlike what is produced in mainstream Taiwanese pop, and also unique lyrics which touch on various issues. - Read More about Jay

In the video, you’ll see him performing a classical piece which breaks into Mario Theme all of a sudden. Genius!

Awesome! I’ve been searching for this video for a long long time. If you haven’t watch it, watch it now! It’s two hours long but trust me, you won’t regret a single second of it.

The “Mario & Zelda Big Band Live” concert was held on September 14th, 2003, at the Nihon Seinenkan Hall in Tokyo, Japan. The DVD recording of this event was bundled with the Japanese gaming magazine “Nintendo Dream” vol. 101.
Mario & Zelda Big Band Live was, as the name suggests, live performances of Mario and Zelda music arranged into jazz, Latin, country, and bluegrass. The host, Ashura Benimaru Itoh, started off the concert with an awesome guitar arrangement of the Super Mario Bros. “main theme” and “underworld theme.” The performances that followed were divided almost evenly between the Tokyo CubaBoys Jr. (The Big Band of Rogues) and Mr. Yoshihiro Arita (with his band).
Not included is “Mario Scat Version” (Super Mario Sunshine bonus level theme), which finally surfaces as track 4 on the M&ZBBL CD.
After every performance or two, the host talked to the guests a little bit, presumably about the music they just heard and the game it was from.

A big thank you to GoNintendo for finding this and whomever that posted this on VideoGoogle - Link.
