A Kajiura SPECULAH thread, apparently.

[grunty]

Wouldn't say "20 years". "Hokuto no Ken" is always there in some way or form and the new adaptation was announced in 2023, we just didn't get news 'til now.

I don't think we'll get Kajiura on this particular project but... maybe we're lucky enough for the powers that be to consider releasing more of Kajiura's Shin Kyuuseishu Densetsu Hokuto no Ken on CD? Or maybe that's just being delusional at this point.

Let us pray that it means something for the old OST. Unlikely as it seems.

Kay, so we'll know sooner rather than later if the new JASRAC title "残酷な夜に輝け" is Kimetsu.

Eisen Flugel better have a specific date announced. :/

WORKS FOR HOKUTO NO KEN / MUSIC COLLECTION

I found this interesting post in reddit. They talk about A1 studio and how the producers share the anime projects and also about Eisen Flugel and SAO movies. How the team for SAO movies now works on Solo Leveling.

^ She mentions that was the 3rd day of recording and the previous days had Konno strings.

At FJstudio, Kei Sakamoto gifted me the beautiful sound of the flute! It felt so good—! Thank you so much! It's a shame that it’ll be quite a while before you can hear this piece…!

Rrrruuuiii

 

[george1234]

How much is quite a while ? Its ost for the Madoka Movie or Eizen Flugel or maybe another Pripri movie grrrr

 

[tsubasa]

Seems she's cooking something with Terada and Ozawa

Interesting. Not too often we see Kajiura work with brass

 

[grunty]

Wish they'd gib us actual news & release windows ffs... We hungry.

 

[george1234]

My guess is yet another dorama (maybe AntiHero S2 lol)

She does but most of the time its synth. I think there is live brass on FZ Hanako and Hokuto no Ken

And LORD, and Historia OST1, and Fena. Maybe more.

Oh yea, and NHK dramas that are on WfS2.

 

[george1234]

Now that Kajiura and Ozawa are in the same soundtrack for first time here is the question: Who writes the gibberish lyrics, Kajiura or Ozawa ?

 

[grunty]

Well I don't think we know anything about this yet but... Terada and Kajiura did not actually collaborate on any tracks in ANTI-HERO afaik?

Chances are they are only having recording sessions together, rather than composing together...

This is Kajiura's studio?

Quite possible.

Since they're all composers, I would agree with this. They are running the recordings for their compositions for whatever joint project in the same studio.

^ There was an interview around summer with Kajiura in her studio or close to it https://www.jasrac.or.jp/magazine/interview/25/250328.html

I'd say its her studio cause the wall colours and the woodwork match the pics from the interview.

https://x.com/Roidual/status/2000175772930330784 "details to follow" @grunty

And Tereda's https://x.com/piano_shiho/status/2000170765245993212

"a wonderful piece together with Yoko Kajiura-san and Takumi Ozawa-san" = collab on the same track?!

If that's really her studio, then it's a great investment.

In addition to being able to save cost for her own projects, and control her masters, she's also getting paid for hosting others and can probably do the same for them.

I am hoping she's also able to help out her singers if possible with their solo projects in her studio.

 

[george1234]

^ Its a home studio not full-fledged proper studio, i think. But yea its sure a good investment.
