Hello there! My eyeballs feel just about ready to fall off after this This is my first modly po...I mean fanmix. It's not yet time for the former. xDDD

Now...isn't my fanmix predictable? (this was created for the Moonie Tunes challenge at sailormoonland) xDD






Before we begin with the lyrics and goodies, a little bit about the fanmix. I created this with the present Makoto Kino in mind - tidbits of her life in Tokyo. The girl who makes her first appearance by saving Usagi, the girl who is both a tomboy and a lady, the girl who fights till the death and spends all available moments chasing after former boyfriend look-alikes. Enjoy! *hearts;

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A GIRL
Vanessa Hudgens

It takes a girl to understand
Just how to win
She knows...She can
I think it's clear
Who wears the pants
What boy...could stand...a chance
She makes it look easy
In control completely
She'll get the best of you...every single...time
Thought by now you'd realize you should
Never underestimate a girl
Gets anything she wants
She's never gonna stop

Explanation: Makoto swoops down like a veritable knight in shining armor and saves the princess - ahem, Usagi - from the big bad bullies. Those thugs are very very wrong to mistake her for a push-over!

SHE'S A LADY
Tom Jones

Well she's all you'd ever want
She's the kind they'd like to flaunt and take to dinner
Well she always knows her place
She's got style, she's got grace, she's a winner.

She's a Lady. Whoa whoa whoa, she's a Lady
Talkin' about that little Lady, and the Lady is mine

Explanation: Makoto may know how to kick ass and take names, but that doesn't mean that she isn't one of the most ladylike Inners in the group. Girl cooks, cleans and is pretty much the epithome of agility both on the battlefield and outside

FORCE OF NATURE
Groove Coverage

While a force of nature is falling down to earth
Seas of tears and sadness, no one knows my worth.
No reason for existence, to be or not to be …
It's just a scene of madness, all the signs I was blind to see.

Explanation: This song is especially good for battle scenes with youmas and such, because Jupiter IS a force of nature. Literally...xDD

A CASE OF YOU
Joni Mitchell

Oh you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh I would still be on my feet

Explanation: To be young and in love...forever and over and over again. xDD This song describes Makoto's relationships perfectly.

STAND IN THE RAIN
Superchick

She never slows down.
She doesn't know why but she knows that when she's all alone, feels like its all coming down
She won't turn around
The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down

Explanation: The heartbreak that ensues after a bad break-up leaves the poor girl standing listlessly in the rain. (Hey, it's canon!)

OVER IT
Katharine Mcphee

Your eyes... I'm over it.
You're smile... I'm over it.
Realized... I'm over it, I'm over it, I'm over...
Wanting you to be wanting me.
No, that ain't no way to be.
How I feel.
Read my lips.
Because I'm so over...
(I'm sorry)

Explanation: But seeing as how Makoto doesn't want to worry anyone else - and she is just that awesome - she pulls herself together and moves forward...to hopefully not another heartbreak...

SURVIVOR
Destiny's Child

Thought I couldn't breathe without you,
I'm inhalin'
You thought I couldn't see without you,
Perfect vision,
You thought I couldn't last without ya,
But I'm lastin'
You thought that I would die without ya,
But I'm livin'
Thought that I would fail without ya,
But I'm on top,
Though it would be over by now,
But it won't stop,
You thought that I would self-destruct,
But I'm still here,
Even in my years to come,
I'm still gon' be here.

Explanation: ...though it doesn't matter if another stupid, silly boy decides that he can't be with her, because Makoto will survive any storm come her way.

ONE STEP AT A TIME
Jordin Sparks

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

Explanation: This song sounds like something one would associate with dreams - protecting Usagi and her other friends, opening a flower shop, becoming an internationally known cook...getting married!

GOODBYE
Spice Girls

Goodbye My Friend
(I know you're gone you said you're gone but I can still feel you here)
It's not the end
(you gotta keep strong before the pain turns into fear)
So glad we made it time will never change it no no no
No no no no
you know it's time to say goodbye

Explanation: This is more of an Inner Senshi song because all of them die over and over again, but obviously it fits Makoto perfectly.

IT'S NOT OVER
Chris Daughtry

You can't let this get away
Let it out, let it out
Don't get caught up in yourself
Let it out.
Let's start over
Well try to do to it right this time around
Its not over
But a part of me is dead and in the ground.
This love is killin me
But your the only one
It's not over.

Explanation: Makoto may die at the hands of various incarnations of Chaos, but even so - from this world or the next - she will always protect her Princess and Prince
