This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
I was having fun in Rock Band 2 making SKU characters, and thought it would be fun to record them doing a song together.
The line-up is
Vocals : Touga
Guitar : Utena
Bass : Akio
Drums : Juri
The song is Hungry Like The Wolf.

Touga's stage gyrations are just awesome.
I'm the one controlling the drums. I mess up in several places.

That made my night. Amazing job

As much as I feel Juri would be better suited to vocals or bass, I have to admit to having a lot of fun watching her bang the drums. Thanks for sharing.

As any self-respecting ensemble, surely they know more than one song?
Seriously, the only bad part was when it ended! Amusement fun!

That is awesome, but now I can only think of how awkward it would be to have Akio and Utena performing in the same group.

Epic! That's all Touga needs: more groupies.

Hmmm, I agree. How much would we have to pay you to switch Saionji for Akio? I can totally see Saionji backing Touga up in a rock band. And Utena makes a great lead guitarist.

Omg! XD Epic win! Include Saionji next time!

OK, you wanted an encore, and you got it !
By popular demand, Saionji replaces Akio on bass. Juri insisted that she had to sing a song for a very special person in the audience. Utena takes her place on the drumstool, and Touga switches to guitar so that he can upstage Saionji with a blistering solo.
Now all we need is Nanami on cowbell.

That is so full of win and awesome that I'm beside myself.
We just got Rock Band for our 360 and now I want to have my own Ohtori band.

That was the most Uber awesome thing ever! I was completely blown away by that video, it seriously took me to a new level of geeky Utena love.. OMG Touga hotness!
Offline
We did this too in Rock Band.... (Curse my lack of a camera!)
Only our band was Touga, Utena, Juri and Shiori.
So it was a chick band and....Touga.
Which seems, somehow, appropriate.
We switched our guys around though, although it was mostly:
Touga: vocals
Juri: lead guitar
Shiori: bass
Utena: drums

When I thought of this, I thought I was being so awesome and original. Can't believe I was beaten to the punch by over two years.

Saionji banging away maniacally on drums is probably the best thing for him. Pent up aggression and all that.
Offline
hahaha this is so, so cool
Utena is so filled w/ filler episodes like Cowbell or Diary (hey, I aint complaining), it would have been a great idea to have a rockband episode.
I think if the Student Council formed a band, it would definitely be:
Touga (Gui/Vo)
Nanami (vo)
Saionji (dr)
Juri (bass) (everyone should know by now bassist girls are the thing)
Miki (keys) (duh)
And I think Utena could maybe make appearance as guest guitar/vocals too. I really like that song she sings, Virtual Star Embryology.
