Hello,
Firstly, I hope I am posting this in the correct discussion board. If not, I apologise >.<

Recently, I lost someone very close to me via suicide. And it has deeply hurt myself and others close to this person.
I am in a band, but have postponed all future gigs until i feel i can cope with the stresses of putting a show together (we're not big, so it's no harm for now). However, I would like to ask a request for any songwriters or anyone generally willing to help me out.

I feel a big connection to the song 'Hitoiro' from the movie Nana 2. Yes, it is a song in Japanese. But when I found the lyrics translated here:
http://www.kiwi-musume.com/lyrics/nakashimamika/hitoiro.html
a chord was struck deeply in my heart, and I thought this is the song I wish to cover for my beloved one.
The song can be heard here:

but here comes the 'odd' request.

My band is punk, therefore we like to keep to this genre (or perhaps we're not talented enough to play any other genre ) and was wondering if someone could 're-write' this song into a punk song, to fit with the english translated lyrics.

This song will be used only for the next live show, as a tribute. There will be no profit made from it. Just a way of saying goodbye in our own style, I guess.

Any takers?

Hey Kittifixx

So sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. I can imagine you must be going through a very tough time.

I hope you find someone here that wants to help you punk-up your chosen song as a fitting memorial.

All the best

Tone :)
