As the name suggests, all you have to do is write a COMPLETE song for the Jrocker of your choice.
* You have to know, and state which jrocker or band the song is going with.
* The song has to be YOUR creation, that means no plagiarism[stealing someone else's work].
* It can be in any language, as long as an English translation is provided.
*`~`*`~`*OPTIONAL*`~`*`~`*
* You may specify which lines a particular band member sings.
* You may even include the instruments used, as well as a musical score if you want!
* You may include your version of the song too - Get together with friends, do a solo, with or without music etc.
Any additional guidelines you think should be added? Pm me or shikonxx!

Due to the server shift and the forum not working for ages, I'm going to extend this til around mid april? So you have about a month to work on it. Do you think that's long enough?
Hmmm...this lyric thing is a great idea! I always get my inspirations from Kyo (Dir en grey). Well, here goes...Ever since I wrote this, I could imagine Kyo singing it with Dir en grey. If it's corny, eh, oh well. These are thoughts I get often and I always write them down!
Pretending The Fool
You want love in this life
But all you taste is blood
Is it mine?
I can only hope...heh
You're scared of a lovesless life
Foolish thoughts
I cherish solitude
No feelings
I've done well pretending
Everyone believes me
Hanging onto every word
My favorite game
Love accomplishes what?
Happiness forever
It's a leash that strangles
Supporting one another?
It's dependence that suffocates
Let's play together; just you and I
Roll around in blissful sin
There is no love here
Pleasures of the flesh
I've done well pretending
Everyone believes me
Hanging onto every word
My favorite game
Predending to love
It makes you feel comfortable
If I say I want you forever will you smile?
You've always been a fool
I put my clothes on and leave
You sitting alone in the dark
With your ideals of "love"
I've done well pretending
Everyone believes me
Hanging onto every word

That was awesome, autismgirly! =D
Ok, my turn next...
I decided to do a pairing, lol… n_n I was going to pick Kyo from Dir en Grey and Ruki from The GazettE to sing together but I went with Gackt and Hyde instead. Just because they are one of my fave singers of all time and everytime
they sing; their voice, their music manages to bring me joy and happiness I cannot beging to describe. I also love when they sing together. (Match made in heavin in my opinion. ^^) I was going to use an old song I had but when I decided to go with this paiting the words started to flow right out with ease.
I kind of made them sound sad and heart broken… (I wasn’t going to! T_T) I was going to make a song about friendship but I only get inspired to write those once in a blue moon, lol. So I just decided to write something that came naturally then trying to force words out. Oh, im not good in music or rythim
But the song would be a nice combination between Gackt’s gorgeously haunting, “Lust for Blood” and Hyde’s beautifully soft yet powerful ballad, “The Cape of Storms”. (Two of my fave songs by them btw.)Im not saying it sounds like that, it’s just and example to give a little idea on what it would sound like! ^_^
I wrote down the parts where Hyde and Gackt sing and when they sing together, lol. Enough of my senseless babble! Here goes nothing... Hope you like! n_n
Never Ending Winter Sleep
Vocals: Gackt + Hyde
Music: Gackt + Hyde
(Hyde)
Winter is long gone but my memories still remain frozen.
Will spring ever come and melt this mountain of snow covering my cold heart?
Don’t try to wipe my tears away, your feelings were never true.
The silence was broken, out came the lies…
You showed me the true colors of your painful love.
*Chorus* (Gackt + Hyde)
My heart is broken.
My soul is gone.
There is no reason for me to fall apart.
But I still end up falling on my knees.
Tears endlessly flow without a reason.
You left me here, in a never ending winter
Force to suffer the pain alone…
Was that your wish all along?
(Gackt)
The flowers bloom only around you
I watch you from a far, your smile…
Spring arrives for just a second.
I feel your warmth, smell your fragrance for just an instance…
Just for that moment, until I return to the bitter sweet melody of solitude.
*Chorus* (Gackt + Hyde)
My heart is broken.
My soul is gone
You tore my whole world apart
But why do I blindly continue to love you?
Crash and burn, searching for the reason that is not there
Tightly wrapped around the wings of despair
Forced to live in this world you had created for me.
Forever lost in a never ending winter sleep.
I suffer more every time you smile. (Hyde)
But I will remain here as long as you are happy.
With the cold, gentle snow as my only company. (Gackt)
One day, I will find the strength to go on and start over.
But for now, I will remain here and cry for you a bit more (Gackt + Hyde)
Singing a song, where I will tell a story of a love that once was and will never be again…
*Chorus* (Gackt + Hyde)
My heart is broken…
My soul is gone…
I am nothing but a shell of the person I once was
Tears endlessly flow without a reason
You left me here in the never ending frozen season
Force to suffer the pain alone
Forever lost in a never ending winter sleep.
My heart will be forever yours to keep
Forever lost in a never ending winter sleep…

That's really pretty and sad...but great! I'm more of a morbid person. I have the tormented soul of an artist! Like Kyo...I'll never write a happy ending! Is there a limit as to how many entries we can have here? BTW, I have discussion on Diru in the music lounge! Come visit! I seem to be the only one still discussing regularly
Awesome entries guys, just awesome, i'd be more descriptive you see, but you've made my brain 'splode. ^_^

Another beautiful song! Our first pairing too ^-^
You can enter as many times as you like, but what if you run outta songs for next month? Oh noes!

No Way! Haha...I'm always creating! I write betwen 3-4 a week so I don't think I'll be running out anytime soon!...Unless...my arms fall off but then I could use my feet...but if they fall off I can use my mouth! And if they fall off, then maybe I'll stop! But only maybe! I even put them up on a poem website, but they're always changing so they are never truly complete. You know what I mean?
Speaking of future contests...I just got an idea! (Doesn't happen very often!) Instead of just having contest after contest, maybe we could put a theme on the contest? Like "Write lyrics and use the word red" or maybe "Write a poem about winter"...catch my drift? That way we could see everyone's perception of that particular theme. It's interesting to read what other people wrtie all on the same subject. We get differnt points of views and sybolisms, etc. What do ya think?

O.o excellent idea! I'll use that next time!
Hey! Why is no one posting any lyrics, eh? Totally not fair! I've noticed that it's the same bunch (me included) that posts continuously! Well, I'll be putting up another song later today...as soon as I finish the research paper that's due by midnight...that I'm currently procrastinating with...Teehee...
Anywho, non-participating members...Boo for you! Get started on those lyrics!
