Music idaes

[sophisastar]

Hi,
I have a little problem finding music for a gala, here is the them
The main idea is to be a James bond girl.
I need to find a first part of the program where i am supposed to wear a kimono
but I can't find any music for that bit, then I 'm going to skate to the diamonds are forever song from shirley Bassey mixed with the Kanye west version
I know it sound really weird but the clubs choreographer is renound for making weird things into wonderful things!!
I 'd love a few ideas
THANKS
SOPH xxxx

I don't see why one can't skate to any Bond music wearing a Kimono. The music doesn't need to have a Japanese influence. For example, you could portray a Japanese female assassin while skating to "Die Another Day" :)

One of the recent Bond movies was set in China (either 'Tomorrow Never Dies' or 'The World is Not Enough', can't remember which); perhaps the composer used some vaguely Oriental themes.

According to the World of James Bond Music Forum, there's a good orientalish mix of the theme in the soundtrack to You Only Live Twice. (I did a quick Google search.) http://www.ajb007.co.uk/index.php?forum=19 <--- that's the link to their forum. Maybe if you post a question they can give you advice!

Other than that, you can probably get away with just being a cool Japanese female assassin.

It was "Tomorrow Never Dies".

I like the Japanese female assassin/"Die Another Day" idea.

Actually, I remember a pro comp on TV in the mid-90s where a female skater (not one of the more decorated ones) skated to a James Bond theme - the movie/music name is escaping me right now, but it was the first movie with Pierce Brosnan as Bond.

Edited to add that the movie/music I was thinking of is "Goldeneye". It was sung by Tina Turner, I believe.

It was the Ryder's Cup competition. The skater was Charlene Von Sayer. I don't remember if she was British or Scottish. She had some really lovely qualities to her skating.

Whee, Ryder's Cup was arguably the most legit and best pro competition ever.
