Gots a vid for you.

 

Those of you that suffer from insomnia and kill the wee hours of the morning watching Cartoon Network may be familiar with this.

 

I was watching Death Note and was blown away by the opening soundtrack. It has kind of a Max Cavalera feel to it. Also, I appreciate a woman that can bang the pagan skins into oblivion.

Yeah, though I personally think Yoko Kanno is the preeminent composer of anime themes and soundtracks. I first noticed her (like many Americans) for her stuff in Cowboy Bebop

but I particularly like her Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex work.

 

I uploaded a compilation of the opening credits some time ago to Youtube and, amazingly, they're still up.

It's worth listening to them all, as the various versions had various musics.

 

The soundtracks are also worth getting, not to mention the Bebop soundtracks. I haven't heard Wolfs Rain, but I hear its also good.

 

Oh, and I should probably have added Lain (Boa, not Kanno):

And maybe I guess Macross: Do You Remember Love (Mari Iijima) (warning, very 70's-80's!)

I heard Mari perform this live at... I think Nan Desu Kan 5? Still great.

 

(also, a moment of anime geekery, that Macross movie is from 1984 or so, and was entirely hand-animated and colored... still holds up today -- aside from the {censored}ty youtube encoding -- amazingly enough. Sadly, still has never been released in the US.)(/endgeek)

Verence I love your avatar :thu:.

 

 

 

Anyways I love almost all the soundtracks for different Anime Series. FLCL and Eureka 7 being some of my most favorites, Bleach also has some good songs. I especially love the Ending Sequence for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya :thu:.

Does anybody else see something totally wrong in that first vid?! :eek::cop:

Thanks!
:D

So when are you going to put an SOS Brigade sticker on the Mason?
;)

 

When Hell freezes over :p. I'm sure It'll go on one of my guitars sooner or later, just need to find a decal for it. Love that Sambomaster song btw, its awesome! If only I could understand what they were saying xD.

 

 

BTW how do you like Lain? Thinking about watching it.

It's weird to see indie Japanese bands gain American recognition solely due to Anime openings and closers.

 

Not that that's any different from Japan. I'm not sure a band as bland as Asian Kung-Fu Generation would have gotten so popular if it wasn't for that opening they did for Naruto.

All good stuff :thu: FLCL is the best soundtrack to anything, EVAR.

 

Thumbs up :thu: for Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad, too. Great series.

 

Yoko Kanno is amazing...I love the Tachikoma music, also the OP to RahXephon.

 

Here's some GREAT guitar tone, the OP to Witch Hunter Robin:

Don't forget Pearl Kyodai's masterful treatment of the soundtrack for

"Welcome to the N.H.K.", at times sounding very close to a surf-drenched

Terje Rypdal, at times sounding like Tangerine Dream, at other times

sounding like a heavy metal type thing.

 

Motoi Sakuraba did a series of UK-like progrock records in Japan and

later got famous for doing a lot of anime soundtrack work.

 

There are quite a few bands I like from Japan, Honey Bee did a

fun soundtrack to the Sumomomo Momomo show, Terutsugu

Hirayama did the soundtrack to "Castle of Noi" and Hirayama

is like the Mike Oldfield of Japan on guitar IMHO.

 

Kenso is my favorite Japanese fusion band, they didn't do any

anime stuff but they could have.

 

Whoever did "Rock the LM.C" for the Red Garden soundtrack I dig too.

 

Mosaic.WAV is the closest I've heard to an insane videogame

soundtrack, they did some of the music for Sumomomo Momomomo

but I also dig the soundtracks for Honey and Clover, also for

Nana oddly.

 

There's so much more.
