Which songs remind you of Kuroshitsuji?
Let's come together and create the ultimate Kuroshitsuji fanmix! Just link to the songs that remind you most of Kuroshitsuji and leave a quick note telling us why. Is it the lyrics? The brooding melody? The crack-tastic humor? Inquiring fans want to know!




Lose Your Soul by Dead Man's Bones always remind me a lot of Ciel. Hell, the chorus is, "You're going to lose your soul tonight." Also, I really dig the children's choir.
Also, Demon Kitty Rag by Katzenjammer is my favorite Sebastian song. First off, that title! Second, the frolicking banjo fits how completely ridiculous our favorite demon can be sometimes. Funtom unicorn suit, anyone?
Funny you should ask. I've spent the last several days attempting to rework Angel with a Shotgun into a sort of acapella, chorister-style, clearly-your-balls-haven't-dropped-yet-little-soprano/smooth baritone duet version for exactly this reason. (Okay, it isn't perfect, lyrically, and I am not in the "balls not dropped soprano" category or the "smooth baritone" category so it's unlikely to ever hit any kind of recording... but it's been fun.)
Here's a Nightcore version, too, which I found while I was looking up the original YT and think is rather fun.
I hope you do work out that version. I don't know the song, but it sounds amazing. I'm definitely checking out that link when I get home.
Ahh, thank you! I very much doubt I'll ever produce anything that anybody else could (or indeed would wish to) hear, but I did do a breakdown of how I imagine the lines going, here.
(I imagine it as sort of... pre-shippy?? The balls-not-dropped aspect implies prepubescent, so shippy squicks me out, but something affectionate is definitely in there. Maybe I should try a tenor/baritone version, but darn it, the song feels like it fits so well with the twisted chorister thing. :/)
