What songs do you like that remind you of Revolutionary Girl Utena? Right now, after listening to Kate Bush's The Red Shoes, I have to say the title song does:
The Red Shoes
Oh she move like the Diva do
I said 'I'd love to dance like you.'
She said 'just take off my red shoes
Put them on and your dream'll come true
With no words, with no song
You can dance the dream with your body on
And this curve, is your smile
And this cross, is your heart
And this line, is your path
Oh it's gonna be the way you always thought it would be
But it's gonna be no illusion
Oh it's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it
But it's gonna be really happening to ya
Really happening to ya
Really happening to ya'
Oh the minute I put them on
I knew I had done something wrong
All her gifts for the dance had gone
It's the red shoes, they can't stop dancing, dancing
And this curve, is your smile
And this cross, is your heart
And this line, is your path
'Oh it's gonna be the way you always thought it would be
But it's gonna be no illusion
Oh it's gonna be the way you always dreamt about it
But it's gonna be really happening to ya'
She gotta dance, she gotta dance
And she can't stop 'till them shoes come off
These shoes do, a kind of voodoo
They're gonna make her dance 'till her legs fall off
Feel your hair come tumbling down
Feel your feet start kissing the ground
Feel your arms are opening out
And see your eyes are lifted to God
With no words, with no song
I'm gonna dance the dream
And make the dream come true
I'm gonna dance the dream
And make the dream come true
She gotta dance, she gotta dance
And she can't stop 'till them shoes come off
These shoes do, a kind of voodoo
They're gonna make her dance 'till her legs fall off
Call a doctor, call a priest
They're gonna whip her up like a helicopter
Really happening to ya
Really happening to ya
You gotta dance....
The first and second verses, and the chorus especially.
And I've told people about Tori Amos' Bells for Her:
And through the life force and there goes her friend
On her Nishiki it's out of time
And through the portal they can make amends
Hey would you say whatever we're blanket friends
Can't stop what's coming
Can't stop what is on its way
And through the walls they made their mudpies
I've got your mind I said
She said I've your voice
I said you don't need my voice girl you have your own
But you never thought it was enough of
So they went years and years
Like sisters blanket girls always there through that and this
There's nothing we cannot ever fix I said
Can't stop what's coming
Can't stop what is on its way
Bells and footfalls and soldiers and dolls
Brothers and lovers she and I were
Now she seems to be sand under his shoes
There's nothing I can do
Can't stop what's coming
Can't stop what is on its way
And now I speak to you are you in there
You have her face and her eyes but you are not her
And we go at each other like blank ettes
Who can't find their thread and their bare
Can't stop what's loving
Can't stop what is on its way
And I see it coming
And it's on its way
Both these songs remind me of Anthy, the latter especially.

Move slowly
Beyond the colors of my eyes
Move slowly
Into the corners of my mind
Rising like the Pegasus
Each and every one of us
Released
Islands in the sea of dreams
Always searching harmony
And peace
All we find
Reject our mind
Don't you wonder why
If the war by heavens gate released desire
In the line of fire someone must have known
That a human heart demands to be admired
Cause in the Center of the Universe
We are all alone
Show me sign of paradise
A place we all would like to go to
Tell me what to sacrifice
So there's a chance for me to want you
All I find
Reject my mind
And I wonder why
If the war by heavens gate released desire
In the line of fire someone must have known
That a human heart demands to be admired
Cause in the Center of the Universe
We are all alone
I have a tale to be told won't you listen tonight
Follow me into the core of the fountain of light
Try to imagine that hope is our ship for the soul
(Over the ocean the quest of your life lies ahead)
Maybe together we'll find there's a place for us all
(Follow the star in your mind, sail along sail along)
- Center of the Universe - Kamelot

On a hillside grew a lovely rose
A beauty to behold
The sun and rain did bless the rose
And nature smiled, it was told.
Proud was the rose midst the windowhood
It's fragrance pure as finest gold
All creation understood
And bowed as its petals would unfold
Soon the weeds did gather round the rose
"Share with us your beauty," they asked in coy repose.
"Give us each one petal, for then we all will be
Beautiful and worthy, to stand with dignity."
"Run from the beggar's ticks, run from the horsetail,
Run, run away!" was the cry of the loon.
"Stay!" cried the shepard's purse, "Stay!" cried the thorntree,
"Listen to your heart," came a plea from the moon.
Then a stillness settled on the land..
The rose, in all her wisdom, stretched out a gentle hand,
And touched each one around her, none was to be denied,
She knew the secret of their beauty came from deep inside.
"Each of you is part of a plan from above,
You give life to others, there is no greater love.
Be strong in one another, and then you all will see,
You won't need any petals, you have your dignity."
On the hillside grew a lovely rose,
A friend amid the wild.
The sun and rain did bless the rose,
And nature smiled.
- And Nature Smiled - Allen Koepke
In case you all haven't figured it out yet, I'm going to have Noir sing this progressively throughout the RP. sweatdrop

You'll rescue me right?
In the exact same way they never did
I'll be happy right?
When your healing powers kick in
You'll complete me right?
Then my life can finally begin
I'll be worthy right?
Only when you realize the gem I am?
But this won't work now the way it once did
and I won't keep it up even though I would love to
Once I know who I'm not then I'll know who I am
but I know I won't keep on playing the victim
These precious illusions in my head did not let me down
when I was defenseless
and parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends
This ring will me yet as will you knight in shining armor
This pill will help me yet as will these boys gone through like water
But this won't work as well as the way it once did
cuz I want to decide between survival and bliss
and though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am
but I know I won't keep on playing the victim
These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was a kid
and parting with them is like parting with a childhood best friend
I've spent so long firmly looking outside me
I've spent so much time living in survival mode

I firmly believe that the refrains of "They're coming to Take Me Away" fit SKU perfectly. Switch out 'clean white coats' for 'council coats' and it works! (Ohtori campus is supposed to be veeery pretty, after all!)
But I'm insane. XD
And, they're coming to take me away, ha-haaa
They're coming to take me away
Ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa
To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they're coming to take me away, ha-haa
To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers
Who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away, ha-haaa

"You're nice.
You're not good, you're not bad, you're just nice.
I'm not good, I'm not bad, I'm just right.
I'm the witch!"
From the musical Into the Woods
Behind Blue Eyes sounds a lot like Akio.

Juri Arisugawa-ish song...well...it can actually work for a couple other characters as well.
Artist: India.Arie Lyrics
Song: Get It Together Lyrics
One shot to your heart without breaking your skin
No one has the power to hurt you like your kin
Kept it inside, didn't tell no one else
Didn't even wanna admit it to yourself
And now your chest burns and your back aches
From 15 years of holding the pain
And now you only have yourself to blame
If you continue to live this way
Chorus:
Get it together
You wanna heal your body
You have to heal your heart
Whatsoever is so you will reap
Get it together
You can fly fly
Dark future ahead of me
That's what they say
I'd be starving if I ate all the lies they fed
Cause I've been redeemed from your anguish and pain
A miracle child I'm floating on the clouds
Cause the words that come from your mouth
You're the first to hear
Speak of words of beauty and you will be there
No matter what anybody says
What matters is matters what you think of yourself
Chorus
The choice is yours
No matter what it is
To choose life is to choose to forgive
You don't have to try
To hurt him and break his pride
Just shake that weight off
And you will be ready to fly
One shot to your heart without breaking your skin
No one has the power to hurt you like your friends
Thought it would never change but as time moved on
That ugly duckling grew up to be a swan
And now your chest burns and your back aches
Because now the years are showing upon your face
But you're never really happy
And you never be whole
Until you see the beauty in growing hope
Chorus

Jojo- Secret Love. (Wakaba perhaps? ninja )
Boy you're so hard to believe
Boy you're so hard to believe
[Verse 1:]
Just a friend
That's all I've ever been to you
Oh just a girl
Who wants to be the center of your world
But I ain't got much to offer
But my heart and soul
And I guess that's not enough
For you to notice me
I'm just a girl
And I guess that's all I'll ever be to you
To you
[Chorus:]
I try to smile when I see other girls with you
Acting like everything is ok
But ohh
You don't know how it feels to be so in love
With someone who doesn't even know
My secret love
[Verse 2:]
In my dreams
I see us both together constantly
Why can't you see
This love that's here for you inside of me
Ohhh
What do I have to do
For you to notice this
You look at her with love
With me it's just friendship
I'm just your girl
And I guess that's all I'll ever be to you
To you
[Chorus:]
I try to smile when I see other girls with you
Acting like everything is ok
But ohh
you don't know how it feels to be so in love
With someone who doesn't even know
My secret love
[Bridge:]
What do you see in her
You don't see in me (don't see in me)
Boy you're so hard to believe
Why do you show her love
But there's none for me
Boy you don't make sense to me
Cause I don't have much to offer
But my heart and soul
And I guess that's not enough
For you to notice me
I'm just your girl
And I guess that's all I'll ever be to you
To you
[Chorus:]
I try to smile when I see other girls with you
Acting like everything is ok (everything ain't ok)
But ohh
you don't know how it feels to be so in love (so in love with
you baby)
With someone who doesn't even know
My secret love
Boy you're so hard to believe

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
"After The Fall" -- The October Project
This song reminds me a lot of Nanami, and the (less comical) actions she has taken in an effort to remain the sole owner of her brother's attention, and how she feels when that attention has been taken away.
"Little Sister" -- Queens of the Stone Age
Akio's "manipulation" of Anthy by monopolizing her love and encouraging her affections. 'You whisper secrets in my ear, Slowly dancing cheek to cheek, It's such a sweet thing when you open up, baby, They say I'll only do you wrong--We come together cause I understand,Just who you really are, baby..'
"Crucify" -- Tori Amos
Anthy. Implicitly. Particularly the line which says, 'you're just an empty cage, girl, if you kill the bird' as well as the sentiment that 'I've gotta have my suffering, oh, so that I can have my cross.'
"Normal Like You" -- Everclear
In the wake of the duel called Self (Soi), Utena ('I don't even have the strength to pick up the phone. Wouldn't even know me since you went away--the Prozac doesn't do it for me anymore..') had a big normality complex and became exceedingly depressed. For me, this is the song that represents that complex, and how fixated she was on Anthy ('Heard those stupid people talk about you again--I just had to laugh to keep from hurting them. Simple minds just cannot seem to understand: you are neurotic and depressed, it doesn't mean that you're sad. You walk around oblivious to everything--wear that party dress and mascara like you're queen for the day..'), while Wakaba ('You walk around oblivious to everyone! I see you walkin' slow and simple underneath a big black sun..Tell me why, you wanna be blind..I don't wanna be normal like you. I know now, everyday, I get closer--to the place inside, where I can be complacent..Yeah, I get closer to the place inside, where I can be sedated. Yes, I get closer..to the place inside..where I can be normal, too..')was attempting to help her.
"Hey Jude" -- The Beatles
Miki, the love he feels for both his sister and Anthy, and the parallel he draws between them which leads him to want to participate in the duels. 'Hey Jude, don't make it bad, take a sad song and make it better---remember to let her into your heart--then you can start--to make it better. Hey Jude, don't be afraid. You were made to go out and get her. The minute you let her under your skin, then you begin, to make it better..'
"Always a Woman" -- Billy Joel
As much as I hate her, this song sums Shiori up completely. 'She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes, she can ruin your faith with her casual lies, and she only reveals what she wants you to see.'
"Wasted Time" -- The Eagles
Mikage. 'I coulda done so many things, baby, if I could only stop my mind..from wonderin' what's been left behind..and worryin' 'bout this wasted time..' It conveys for me his feelings about Mamiya and Tokiko.
"Victim of Love" -- The Eagles
Kozue, her promiscuity, and how that promiscuity is just a thin veil to protect her from her "loss" of closeness with Miki. Also alludes to her brief time with Akio.
"Life" -- Our Lady Peace
Utena's speech about how Anthy is just a normal girl and should have normal friends--projecting her own feelings onto the Rose Bride--really fits this song. 'And how many days have you just slept away? Does everybody hide? Is everyone afraid? And how many times have you wished you were strong? Have they ever seen your heart? Have they ever seen your pain?'
"Running Away" -- Hoobastank
Wakaba's Saionji complex, particularly after the hair clip incident. 'Cause I did enough to show you that I--was willing to give and sacrifice--And I was the one that was lifting you up, when you thought your life had had enough..'
"Sorrow" -- Boxcar Racer
Ruka's "misguided" efforts to help Juri attain freedom. 'Because I need you more than-you-need-me, because I want you more--I know. Because we lived, too ******** fast--I think I really had to..wish to make this last, I know. I'm sorry, please forgive me, believe me if you would..'
"Bullet With Butterfly Wings" -- Smashing Pumpkins
Saionji's bitterness at being controlled, and his inability to escape Touga's shadow. 'Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage. Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage. Some, though, will say what is lost can never be saved..' 'Tell me I'm the only one. Tell me there's no other one. Jesus was an only son. Tell me I'm the Chosen One..Jesus was an only son for You---Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage.
"Everything to Everyone" -- Everclear
This song reminds me intensely of Utena, and how everyone seems to be kind of laughing at her for being naive, and thinking she's stupid. Also alludes to how she is unknowingly doing everything Akio wants her to do, playing directly into his clutches. 'You say they taught you how to read and write--yeah they taught you how to count--I say they taught you how to buy and sell your own body by the pound--I think you like to be the simple toy I think you love to play the clown. I think you're blind to the fact that the hand you hold is the hand that holds you down.'
"(Change) In the House of the Flies" -- The Deftones
Anthy witnessing her brother's transition from Dios to the Lord of the Flies--Akio--as well as her indirect manipulation of Akio through becoming the Rose Bride, and his direct manipulation of her. 'I watched a change in you..It's like you never had wings..Now you feel..so alive..'
"Possum Kingdom" -- The Toadies
(Manga)Akio, during the seduction of Utena, and his efforts to gain her as his Rose Bride. 'I'm not gonna lie--I want you for mine--My blushing Bride--My lover, be my lover, yeah. Don't be afraid, I didn't mean to scare you..so help me Jesus.'
JOKE SONGS
"Kill a Kitten" --Steven Lynch
Nanami. 'Nuff said.
"Freak on a Leash" -- KoRn
This was meant to be a joke about Anthy, but having re-listened to it, I find it very apt.
