Updates

Okay, no 'My Choice' song this week. Sorry, but I'm sitting here eyeing my bandwidth costs rise by the minute. ^^;; I'll be back next week for the regular update.

One bit of advice, people: being belligerent and obnoxious while asking me to remove your IP ban isn't the smartest thing to do. I am not obligated to remove the ban for anyone. The only people I *NEED* to remove the ban for are those who donate to this site, and seeing as those people are few and far between, I don't forsee myself *NEEDING* to remove the individual bans any time soon. And pissing me off is a great way to get yourself a PERMANENT ban, so keep that in mind, 'kay? </rant>

Alien 9 - Flower Psychedelic

My Choice song time! ^_^ This week, I've decided to showcase one of my all-time favorite songs, by one of my favorite artists. "Watashi to Warutsu wo" by Onitsuka Chihiro is such beautiful piece...it captured my heart the first time I heard it. The song was used as the theme song for Trick 3, a Japanese drama series (J dorama), and was released on Chihiro's 10th CD single. An absolutely lovely song, with haunting lyrics. Go download now! ^_^

Yes, I know, one day late. =P I'm here now, aren't I? ^^

Some of you may have already noticed the slight changes I made to the site. Nothing cosmetic, just to the codes in the download section. The major change is that I have started banning IP addresses. I warned you I would if people didn't stop flooding me with connections, and now I finally took the time to implement it. Some of these bans will only last a month or so...depending on how generous I feel. And for some of the others, I'm willing to remove the ban if you email me with your IP address, since the offense wasn't too serious. However, there is absolutely NO reason for there to be over 2000 connections from ONE IP address, is there? >.< If you share an IP address with someone who is banned, sorry, you'll just have to wait until the ban is lifted to download again.

The second change I made was also to the music download page. I've noticed that many of you have bookmarked that page, and that page only. That's a no-no. I ask that all bookmarks be directed to http://www.jalana.com only...or at least the page after the entry splash page. Now, when people attempt to bypass this site to get to the music, they are directed immediately to the splash page.

The last bit is a reminder for everyone. DO NOT link directly to the files!!! It not only steals my bandwidth, which I consider to be rudeness in itself, but it is also pretty pointless when I change the songs every two weeks. I would appreciate it if you would direct people to the site itself to download the songs, instead of just linking to the files. Thanks!

And finally, we get to the songs. You'll have noticed that I didn't change the 'My Choice' song last week. Well, that's cuz I forgot. *sheepish grin* Next week, promise!

Anyway, this week's update is:

Ayashi no Ceres - Scarlet (version 2)
B'tX Neo - Piece of the Sun
Chou Hatsumei Boy Kanipan - O.K!
Digimon Tamers - My Tomorrow
Full Metal Panic - Tomorrow (karaoke)
Full Metal Panic Fumoffu - Sore ga, Ai deshou (karaoke)
Gravitation - Lost Complex
Great Teacher Onizuka - Cherished Memories
Gundam Seed - Invoke
Hikaru no Go - Days
Initial D Extra Stage - Impact Blue
Kaleido Star - Take it Shake it
Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne - Til the End
King of Bandits Jing - Sha La La
Sakura Taisen - Geki! Teikoku Kagekidan (seiyuu version)
Sakura Taisen - Hanasaku Otome
Scrapped Princess - Little Wing (karaoke)
Tokyo Underground - Blow Up

Until next time! Happy downloading

Waaaaaiii! Sorry about the extremely long wait, everyone! Things have been weird on my end, and I've only just begun to get things straightened out. I PROMISE that updates will occur more regularly from now on! ^_^

Before I list the songs, I need to mention that song requests are now closed again, and will most likely remain closed for some time. ^^;; I got flooded with requests, and will need a while to get through them all! I also wanted to remind everyone that when requesting songs, you may only ask for ONE SONG. If more than one is listed in your email, only the first song will be granted. Also, the CDs/OSTs that I have listed in my MP3 lists are for reference purposes only. You may ask for ONE SONG from the album, but NOT the entire album! If you need a track listing for any of the CDs I have, you can either look it up online or email me.

Songs for this update:

Aquarian Age - Awake
Ayashi no Ceres - Hurt (karaoke)
Gundam 0079 - Star Children
Kiddy Grade - Future (TV edit)
Macross II - Mou Ichido Love You
Macross Plus - Information High
Magic Knight Rayearth - Asu e no Yuuki
One Piece - A to Z
Sailor Moon - Usagi's Star Locket Melody
Tokyo Underground - Eternal Flower
Weiss Kreuz - Beautiful Alone (instrumental)
Weiss Kreuz - Epitaph (Omi)

Final Fantasy IX [PSX] - Melodies of Life (Japanese)
Kanon [DC] - Last Regrets

Until next time! ^_^

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday! I'm still out of town at the moment, but I should be back with new stuff in another week and a half. In the meantime, I'm opening up requests again. So, send them on in, and I'll be back soon!

Okay, for those of you who are STILL having problems downloading from the site, I've changed the rules a bit. You can now use download manager/accelerator programs to download the files...HOWEVER, do NOT set the programs to multiple connections! Keep it at one connection only...multiple connections eat up bandwidth, which I pay for. If I see that an IP address has multiple connections, I WILL ban that IP. If that affects more than one person, tough luck. I'm not going to pay money every month only for a few people to enjoy the songs.

Keep in mind some programs, like GetRight, are incompatible with this server. If your program asks you for a password to download the song, then it, too, is incompatible. In that case, download the file directly with the browser, or try using a different program.

We'll see how this goes. If too many people abuse this, I will reinstate the 'No Download Accelerators' rule. Merry Christmas! ^_^
