Bonnie Pink - "My Ever Changing Moods" gaia_star
MiM - "Virtual Insanity" gaia_star
mink - "Run to You" gaia_star

Shiina Ringo - Autumn Leaves

I'm surprised to see mink fans! I miss her music and her precious voice. crying heart

Yess, I love that song! After listening to her cover, I started to sing that song on my karaoke system because we only had old songs like that. xd I'm gonna try to find more of her/their covers on youtube!

[Queen_Raiden]

First thing that came into my mind


It's a cover of an old song by The Carpenters

[Lady Cressida]

My personal favorites.



She has other covers for other well known songs and opera pieces as well.

Yep, I'm surprised to see someone who knows mink too. It's been awhile since I've listened to her music. I'm Guilty As Sin~

Have you heard Shiina Ringo's cover of Papaya Mango? (weird video linked because EMI is being an a**)

Also, BONNIE PINK! Haven't heard anything of hers for so long. Nice cover.

edit: Gaah accidentally changed you by quoting.. I wanted to keep the 50 users changed count D: lol.
