SUNCOAST LIVES!!! :D
It's just 411 that doesn't know what the hell they're talking about. My mother called to check to see if there was a listing for Suncoast in Nashua, and they said there was none, so we assumed it wasn't there, because, it would make sense. But 411 doesn't know crap. :) I bought the soundtrack to Memories, and it is soooo surreal, it's great. It's weird out of context. Like the Yoko Kanno-fied Puccini. Man, I love that anime though. Specifically Magnetic Rose. For obvious reasons. It's chock full of Puccini, and there's an evil soprano. I actually haven't sat down and watched the last segment, Cannon Fodder, which I should really do.
As you may have heard me rant, if I ever go to a con, I'm cosplaying her and singing opera-ish things at the karaoke. XD But damn that costume is gonna be hard to make.
The soprano singing her part is Kaoru Nishino, and she isn't half bad. Her Un Bel Di is a bit odd, but Tu? Tu?...Piccolo Iddio has a quite beautiful interpretation. I couldn't ever see her having enough power to actually play the role on stage though. The actual character in the short movie is PERFECT for Tosca, I mean, she even LOOKS like Tosca. But yeah.
But yeah. If anyone is going to butcher Puccini, it should be Yoko Kanno, because she's a frigging genius. It sounds soooo strange out of context, but works PERFECTLY while you're watching the short movie (I say short movie because it's about 40 minutes long, lol).
