Hey there, my fellow East Asian tunes enthusiasts.
I’ve got these melody fragments stuck in my head from when I was a kid (early 2000s or earlier?), but my memory is fuzzy and I could only salvage part of these songs in terms of partial lyrics or tune sequences or both. I recreated what I could recall using Online Sequencer. If you can help, I would much appreciate it. I can also assist with what I can recall in terms of language and partial lyrics. If you need reference to the era, refer to the songs Too Softhearted by Ritchie Jen and Our Intimate Relationship by Sammi Cheng. My song list doesn’t go any further than the end of 2005. And an extra note of precaution: sometimes these songs use words in at least two different languages. E.G, PreCure the anime sometimes uses Spanish words like “Seniorita” and DECO*27’s Telepathy uses “まじでSTOP 脈ナシハラスメント” = “Seriously, STOP. No chance HARSSMENT.”
