It's not really a discussion... It's not really a game... It's an activity! There's hardly anything in this section so I thought I'd make something.
Guidelines:Just like the title says, create a playlist, album, single, or something similar (like a mini-album), using any of the songs and music videos from Stereopony's official discography and other content (like demo CD's). I'm interested in finding different combinations of Stereopony songs that flow nicely with each other. If you wish, you can make up your own content, but please try to keep it realistic (ex. "Hitohira no Hanabira -Ending Edition-"). However, if you can't resist, then go ahead and post the album of your dreams (ex. "I do it (feat. YUI)" or "Namida no Mukou -NOHANA Vocals Version-").
Other Guidelines:1. For singles there should only be three (3) tracks. A fourth (4th) can be added if it is an instrumental of the lead track. A fifth (5th) can be added if it is a shortened version of the lead track.
2. For albums, there should be between ten (10) and fourteen (14) songs per CD.
3. For mini-albums, there should be between five (5) and seven (7) songs.
4. Music videos should be on a disc separate from the audio CD.
5. You can have between one (1) and four (4) CD's for an album depending on what you're creating.
6. There's no limit for playlists. You can list every song if you want.
7. Remember to use SPOILER tags to make navigation easier.Also, tell us about your reasoning or any inspiration you had as to why you made your playlist/album/single/mini-album/etc. And oh yeah!
You don't have to type as much as me... I tend to type a lot haha. Well, have fun!!
I'll start off with a playlist I made using my favorite Stereopony songs. It's arranged according to BPM. I'm not 100% sure the BPM is correct, but it appears to be accurate. All the singles and my favorite b-sides are in it. There's 20 songs total.

1. Seishun ni, Sono Namida ga Hitsuyou da! - 85 BPM
2. I do it - 85 BPM
3. Tsukiakari no Michishirube - 131 BPM
4. Namida no Mukou - 135 BPM
5. Never Look Back - 190 BPM
6. Hanbunko - 207 BPM
7. Smilife - 176 BPM
8. Everything OK!!! - 161 BPM
9. Daidai Iro - 141 BPM
10 Chiisana Mahou - 65 BPM
11. Nagareboshi - 81 BPM
12. Niji Bashi - 176 BPM
13. Sweet Blue - 179 BPM
14. Dreamin' - 180 BPM
15. Hoshikuzu Kantera - 131 BPM
16. OVER DRIVE - 104 BPM
17. Sayonara no Kisetsu - 110 BPM
18. Sakune - 101 BPM
19. Aozora Very good days!! - 71 BPM
20. Hitohira no Hanabira - 70 BPM
This is the first playlist I've ever made while paying attention to the BPM, and surprisingly it turned out sounding great! It's a basic arrangement of 2 slow songs, 7 fast songs, 2 slow songs, 7 fast songs, 2 slow songs. Before I made this playlist, I always put my songs on shuffle and I'd end up skipping over a few. But with this arrangement I don't do that anymore.
The first two tracks are the same first two tracks as
Hydrangea ga Saiteiru's. They have the same BPM which isn't too surprising. Then it gets faster beginning with "Tsukiakari no Michishirube" and increases pace up to "Hanbunko." Then it slowly decreases up to "Chiisana Mahou" and "Nagareboshi." Things pick up again with "Niji Bashi" and keep going up until after "Dreamin'." The playlist concludes with "Aozora Very good days!!" and "Hitohira no Hanabira" which are the same endings tracks from
Hydrangea ga Saiteiru as well except reversed.
Next up is a dream mini-album that consists of seven Stereopony songs I would love to hear live.
Dream Mini-Album
STEREOPONY LIVETracks
1. Tsukiakari no Michishirube (Live)
2. Never Look Back / Everything OK!!! (Live)
3. Sayonara no Kisetsu (Live)
4. Nagareboshi (Live)
5. Chiisana Mahou ~AIMI Acoustic Version~ (Live)
6. Hanbunko feat. YUI (Live)
7. Hitohira no Hanabira feat. YUI (Live)
1. "Tsukiakari no Michishirube" is the first song I ever heard by Stereopony. I know that there's a live version already out there, but it wasn't the full song. I want to hear the full song.
2. "Never Look Back" was my favorite b-side from
OVER THE BORDER. But for some reason, it wasn't included in their track listing for their most recent tour (probably due to the difficulty of AIMI and SHIHO having to be perfectly in sync for the whole song). "Everything OK!!!" was one of the faster tracks of
Chiisana Mahou (it got beat by "It's a wild world"). I just feel that it would sound great live. Also, I think it would be cool if there was a bridge between "Never Look Back" and this song, instead of "Never Look Back" just ending suddenly like how it does in the album.
3. Though it was never released in their official discography, "Sayonara no Kisetsu" sounds really nice. It's one of my favorites.
4. "Nagareboshi" is currently my favorite Stereopony b-side. It would be nice to hear a live version of this song.
5. An acoustic version of "Chiisana Mahou?" Live? I think it would sound really nice especially after "Nagareboshi." The only problem... what's NOHANA gonna do? And what's gonna happen during the guitar/bass solo?
6. "Hanbunko" is another song that was performed live already. However, I think that the live performance for this song would be even better if AIMI was free to move and dance around without that guitar being in the way. So, someone else would be playing it. And heck, since this is a "dream mini-album" why not have YUI be the person playing that guitar? Maybe their live performance will be just as good as Bivattchee's.
7. Yup... "Hitohira no Hanabira" of course. There's no better way to end an album than this song. It sounds more rock-ish live since AIMI's voice isn't as super soft like in the album version. And since I already featured YUI in "Hanbunko," why not keep her for "Hitohira no Hanabira?" And you all know how the song begins? How about an extended intro?
Yikes, that "dream mini-album" thing didn't come out as great as I'd hoped. Yeah, I suggest just sticking with the real songs and not go out of control haha. Anyone else have a playlist then?
