Go Shiina & (notsomuch) Yuki Kajiura to compose for Kimetsu no Yaiba

[grunty]

We might get a FictionJunction feat. LINO LEIA song for whenever that character dies and it's going to be your BeeTrain wish fulfilled...

I said "I would imagine Kimetsu as a franchise is big enough at this point to be used as a vehicle for some lesser known Sony talent". I did not say it with FJ in mind but specifically your "KnY requires star power" comment.

That's fair. I was focused on FJ specifically.

 

[grunty]

I just realized this upcoming Infinity Castle movie is the first time in Kimetsu's history (I think), that Kajiura is credited second. xD

Wonder why the change.

 

[george1234]

Maybe she takes up as lead composer ? Her position in credits and actual role seem to be reversed.

 

[grunty]

I too wondered that maybe the BGM ratio is reversed compared to previous Kimetsu productions. At least it would be some reason for this change. xD

 

[CloisteredFlame]

She should definitely write more music but Go Shiina's production has really shaped the overall dramatic experience of the show from the start, so I hope they let him bring it home.

Now I get why they say LiSA's song has that despair and hopeful tones....I really like it On top of my head, it was like vocal ver. of 'He comes back again and again' from hf. Parts has Tokyo Konsei afaik....not surprised if that is Yuriko...

LOL they gave the ominous song to Aimer

This?

 

[Lorde-Kowz]

Ara, so it's an insert song rather than ED?

This?

It is! Tho we can wait a few hours now for pre-release For now, I lean on LiSA's song more than Aimer obvs

 

[george1234]

- Strings overpower everything else (LiSA and TK)
- melody is chaotic and feels like a BGM that ended up as a song.

Ara, so it's an insert song rather than ED?

Perhaps song starts near the end of the movie in Gundam Seed style.

Oh in the sample LiSA is much better heard (fortunately).

Oh my, I

Spoiler

Love it

 

[MushiMushi]

Is it a film-scored insert song? Structure is way too scattered as a 'theme song'.

Liked the brighter parts that LiSA's voice stretches on like endless blowing wind~
Contrast from the emotional 'twisted' parts is pretty nice~

The positive melodies do fit the song title as hopeful light that shines through a cruel night.

Closer to the end from 'yume' it's like a gentle finale of a story.

Will listen again after work w
Don't think it's a song that I'll listen to often, hmm.

 

[juchanx3]

First thoughts: String festival but with a different song structure overall. I like the middle part since is darkish with the chorus.

I love that Kajiura never allow Lisa to scream in the songs she creates for her.
