Our roleplay has a theme song? I don't know, this one sounds a little high-energy and lyrical. I think a theme song shouldn't tell a story all on its own.

Hmm, well, it does sound good, although a first pass at the lyrics tells me it doesn't relate to the RPG so far, but eh.
OP/ED are usually 1:30min long, so start at 20sec, fade out after 1:47.
But IMO this works better as an ending theme. OPs are generally more upbeat and lively for school life genres.
Too bad our characters span so many anime and games to make a proper AMV, that would rock.

Well, anime theme songs are only about 1:30 in length, but they are cut down from the original song. (It isn't like the artist records a 1:30 song)
I'll think about your suggestions...
Any more feedback?
Edit: Continue checking out MY HEART DRAWS A DREAM, but I have another option.

Pay attention to the verse and chorus, because if it was cut down to 1:30, that part would be used.
(It would probably start as soon as the guitar kicks in, cutting out the vocalist rap/speak/sofly-chanting)

I like this second choice a lot more than the first. Not that it matters what I think though, I'm not even a character. It sounds a lot more opening theme'y though. Good, good.

I couldn't understand a word they were saying.
So no comment. Sorry, I'm the type who actually cares about lyrics than just the accompanying music.

If you're a reader, that's almost as good...
I think the second one is better for a theme song, but I still get a sense that Isakaya High would have something a little slower.

NUMBER SIX.
It's alright to walk slowly,
It's alright to be a bit clumsy,
Right now I want to sing with you
It's a small song for you
I see that always, at any time, I became aware from our quarrelling
How dazzling the sky is
Without fear, no matter what sort of tomorrow, I saw my dreams
And so did the boys
Already, there's nowhere to escape to; I wanted to grasp it, I couldn't grasp it
Covered in wounds, I was searching for the blue bird alone
It's been decided, the finale isn't needed
So the rail changes into a ladder
I expect I'll be able to smile, even more certainly than now
So I wished, if it was that pair of eyes
Although it's a clumsy starting run, walking, I'm able to walk on
I believe myself & my best friends, and you
One day, I realized that in the days that I was living, that were made use of
Someday, until the day when I grasp something
Without fear, no matter what sort of tomorrow, I saw my dreams
And so did the boys
Already, there's nowhere to escape to; I wanted to grasp it, I couldn't grasp it
I'll bring us to bring us to the Venus that you were looking at, reach out your hand
If I awake from the dream, what will I speak from?
So the world is ours
If I break the clock and open the cage
Until daybreak, words will be revealed
Although it's a clumsy starting run, walking, I'm able to walk on
I believe myself & my best friends, and you
Even the flower that bloomed, and withered
Even the reticent parrot that made no sound
Surely, somewhere, they're smiling.
Because of that, it's alright not to do the impossible
Here, I'm waiting for you. slowly, but surely and slowly
It's been decided, the finale isn't needed
So the rail changes into a ladder
I expect I'll be able to smile, even more certainly than now
So I wished, if it was that pair of eyes
Although it's a clumsy starting run, walking, I'm able to walk on
I believe myself & my best friends, and you
Together, until I'm able to be smiling with you, the number sixth; I'll be singing here
I actually think it fits pretty well IMO

i'd offer to write you guys a song, but it would probably end up being too celtic-sounding... and i'm too busy right now anyway.
aside from school and tennis, my time is being consumed by my attempt to to arrange the Ending Theme for Final Fantasy X.
omg....... excuse my writing/grammar style.

I was thinking about writing a song, but I thought it wasn't worth the time for an online roleplay. No offense to you guys 
So, after like, 5 votes, NUMBER SIX seems to be better. Any other opinions?

I'll listen to them both tonight, but it would be VERY interesting to have suggestions from other players since it would be an indicator of what they think the story's theme or plot is.
It could either be a romantic tune (for a school romance) or an upbeat light tune (for comedy - have we had much?) or something a little darker (for the Shadow bit). Or in fact are the Shadows dark....?
I'll have a think about this.
There are also Sadoru's song lyrics (he's written a second one actually which you won't read for a bit) but setting them to music obviously requires a tune and a singer (plus a lot of presumption on my part that they are even worth it).
I'm watching Honey & Clover ATM and there are a lot of nice songs in that, sung towards the end of each show usually.
But basically I think of something quite gentle and moody and slow and relaxing as the ED with something quite a lot more upbeat as the OP (in order to keep the audience interested).

Just throwing out the fact that I have a nice music composition setup and lab to work with so if anyone has any original music they want to make I could come up with something. And hey, maybe someone wants to make their own song with lyrics and record it....

A lot of songs in HnC aren't originals. I recognize one as by Tsuji Ayano (the singer of TCR).
I've been imagining the RPG as an anime for a long while now, and it has more of a fantasy/school-life feel than anything big.
That's my opinion, anyhow.

Do our ideas need to be songs with Japanese lyrics?

I listened to My Heart Draws A Dream, and it sounds great! You know, I just listened to it, and already a title sequence started forming in my head! I think the only criticism I could make is that it's a little downbeat. We maybe need something a little lighter. But anyway that's just a small niggle, the song's great!
I didn't like Number Six though.
@ Saddletank, you know you suggested we find a romance-themed song? How about - Sekai No Yakusoku? You know, it's the one at the end of Howl's Moving Castle.

For recommendations, I really think we should be using Japanese songs, considering this is a Japanese school.
Also, we should pick out original songs - not something we've heard as an opening before.
Finally, if anybody really wants to spend time writing music for a them song, go ahead - it'll definately be worth consideration (if it's decent to any degree, of course.)
It seems there are generally mixed opinions concerning MY HEART DRAWS A DREAM and NUMBER SIX.
I have a new addition.
FREEDOM FIGHTERS by miyavi

Although it's subject matter doesn't really have to do with this rp, its very upbeat and probably a good opening.
Concerning Japanese music, consult me
Still give opinions concerning these three songs, but I would like to know what kind of songs you people would like to hear.

Tonight I was listening to more classical piano by Ludovico Einaudi and one of his tracks called "I Giomi" off his "Concerto Alla Scala" CD is simply haunting. Its just him and a Steinway, no other accompanyment and no singing. Try and find it on the web and have a listen. I think as an ED it would be lovely. I can imagine a nice light haunting Japanese female voice doing a really mushy vocal over it, not many words and maybe some harmonies. Perfect.

I've been searching for it, but unable to find it. Do you have anywhere we could listen to it.
Also, as for piano music, that is by far the easiest kind of music to write. So if anybody's interested in submitting something...
Also, Saddle, what did you think of the 3 songs I've selected so far
(this is actually directed toward everybody - especially the third one, which most of you haven't heard.)

I could email it to you - Mm me an e-mail address - same goes to anyone else who wants to hear it - I've actually been thinking about #1sanfan with Einaudi since you're into classical piano.

Okay, well, forget I said anything....
and,
Ludovico Einaudi is not really classical piano.......

Also, as for piano music, that is by far the easiest kind of music to write.
I would say it's a lot harder to write a consistently interesting piano piece in comparison to writing a punk metal song...
