Ogre (Tekken)

Ogre (Japanese: オーガ, Hepburn: Ōga) known in Japan as Toshin (闘神, Toshin, "闘" means "fight" or "war", and "神" means "God") is a character from the Tekken fighting game series released by Namco Bandai Games. Ogre is introduced in Tekken 3 as the main antagonist and as the final boss along with its other form True Ogre, and it has returned in Tekken Tag Tournament and Tekken Tag Tournament 2, although the latter two games are non-canonical. Ogre is the Tekken series' first main villain who is not a member of the Mishima family, though its power equalized to that of Mishima, and Kazama Clan. In the storyline of Tekken, Ogre is the war weapon which creatures from outer space left on earth in ancient times. It understands entire structures of all living and artificial beings, and absorbs them. It wanders the earth in search of strong souls. It is also worshipped by ancient Aztecs as the "God of Fighting".

Appearances

Tekken games

Ogre is the Aztec God of Fighting infused with mythical powers. It is able to do some form of telekinesis, mainly in grabbing enemies, and defy gravity by levitating, though it is unable to do the latter during gameplay. The most notable power of Ogre, however, is its ability to absorb souls, which would transfer all of the consumed souls' abilities and potentially increase its power.

Ogre (2008 film)

Ogre is a 2008 American television horror film directed by Steven R. Monroe. In the story, a town is struck by a terrible plague. The only means of preventing the plague seems to be to sacrifice one person every year to a vicious beast known as the Ogre.

Ogre (Dungeons & Dragons)

In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, ogres are a lesser race of giants. An aquatic subrace of ogres is known as "merrow". D&D ogres are also closely related to the race of ogre magi, a more intelligent race with blue skin and great magical abilities. Typically Ogres stand between nine and ten feet tall and can weigh up to 650 lbs. Ogres are closely related to trolls, and are distantly related to the various races of giants.

Cherish (group)

Cherish is an American R&B, soul, and hip hop quartet consisting of the sisters Farrah King (born (1984-02-17) February 17, 1984, Neosha King (born (1986-01-26) January 26, 1986 and twins Felisha and Fallon King (born (1988-06-05) June 5, 1988. Originally from Maywood, Illinois, the four sisters moved to Atlanta, Georgia to begin their musical career. Both their parents are musicians, their father having been in the band Professions of Sounds, who frequently toured across the South West with classic acts like The Emotions and Earth, Wind & Fire. The group is signed to Capitol Records and Sho'nuff Records. They were a big success with the hit song "Do It to It".

The group first rose to fame in 2003, when they were featured on the single "In Love wit Chu", by Da Brat. They quickly followed up with their official debut single, "Miss P.", which had minor success on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart in the US. After the failure of the single, their initial debut album was cancelled. However, they continued recording music, and lent their vocals to the soundtrack for The Powerpuff Girls Movie. In 2006, they released their second official single, "Do It to It". The single was met with critical and commercial success, and was followed up with their debut album, Unappreciated, which reached number 4 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the US. 2008 saw the release of the group's second studio album, The Truth. The album didn't fare as well as their previous, failing to reach the top 20 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. It was, however, preceded by the release of their second Top 40 hit, "Killa", which peaked at number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Cherish (The Association song)

"Cherish" is a pop song written by Terry Kirkman and recorded by The Association. Released in 1966, the song reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in September of that year and remained in the top position for three weeks. Billboard ranked the record as the No. 2 song of 1966. In Canada, the song also reached number one.

The single release of the song was slightly edited by removing one of the two "And I do cherish you" lines near the end of the song. This edit was done as a means of keeping the track from exceeding the three-minute mark, as radio programmers of the era frowned upon songs that went beyond three minutes. However, even with the edit, the song still ran over. Instead of editing further, producer Curt Boettcher intentionally listed "3:00" on the label as the song's running time.

Session musician Doug Rhodes, also member of The Music Machine, played the Celesta on the recording. Studio player Ben Benay played guitar on the recording. Curt Boettcher added some vocals, most notably the high-pitched "told you" and "hold you" on the final verse. The track was recorded at a converted garage studio owned by Gary S. Paxton, who engineered the sessions along with Pete Romano.

Cherish (Seiko Matsuda album)

Cherish is the forty-fifth studio album by Seiko Matsuda. It came in two different versions, a regular edition which contains the CD album and a first press special edition that contained the CD album plus a 36-page photobook. The album release wasn't preceded by any single release, so all the songs in the album are new songs.
