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

[grunty]

Cool.

God, almost 2 months for the release of the single?

From what I see on VGMDB their singles don't seem to come with instrumentals...
so... potential b-sides aside... if the digital release is next week, there might not be a reason to wait til the CD single Kajiura-wise...

Update: I was wrong, instrumental is confirmed

While singing "Koikogare" written by Yuki Kajiura, I carefully layered my voice over the words of the song, thinking about how I would feel if I were in this world and how I would live and express the words of this song.
I hope that "Koikogare," a song about a single-minded and straightforward desire to protect one's loved ones, will add a vivid color like the morning glow to the "Kimetsu no Yaiba" swordsmith's village chapter of the TV anime "Kimetsu no Yaiba"

MAN WITH A MISSION
Mr. Kajiura has written a lustrous, vivid, and powerful love song. Thank you for seeing a new side of us.
I cannot thank you enough for helping me and Mr. Milet sing and produce these wonderful songs.
Please enjoy the animation work.

I was really looking forward to the start of the TV anime "Kimetsu no Yaiba" swordsmith's village chapter".
I am honored to have composed the lyrics for the song "Koikogare," which will be the ED of the work and will be performed by the too gorgeous lineup of "milet x MAN WITH A MISSION.
We hope you will enjoy the wonderful voice and performance of the band as well as the song!

If they ever make one its gonna be similar to their cover of synchronicity, i bet.

To be fair, Aimer doesn't always feature instrumentals but the Kimetsu single had them... who knows...

The CD is supposed to be 6 tracks - two will probably be tv sizes so that leaves us with:
1) 2 new tracks
2) 1 new track and 1 remix (which is what their singles usually seem to be: 3 tracks + remix)
3) 1 extra track and 1 instrumental
4) 2 instrumentals

I figure chances of a 2nd Kajiura song are slim (although who knows with this late CD release maybe they have an insert song or something).
Instrumentals... well... I couldn't find a single of theirs that included any...
I did see a single with a "strings version" of a song included so maybe that's likely here???

I'd rather be surprised than disappointed, lol.

Edit: I guess there's also an option of 2 remixes with no new original song...

Edit: Confirmed wrong already.

Hmmm… why is milet at the second place for the OP but she is in the first one for the ED?

I guess she is the main vocal for the ED I guess

 

[george1234]

You guess twice ?

i don't know what to make of the female vocal, it sounds a bit robotic (or overprocessed), the male vocal sounds interesting. not too bad, i like the traditional beginning (koto?).

Just listened Koikogare. It resembles a lot to akeboshi, at least for me. I like it though

Are you watching the episodes? Kajiura is contributing right?

[Azokad]

I know about her name in the credits, yeah, but is truly contributing?
Did someone listen to (new) kaji-music in episode 2?

 

[george1234]

I didnt check ep 2 yet but on that post if you click the number there are samples of Kajiura- sounding bgms from the 1st ep.
If she didnt contribute at all there wouldnt be credits about her.

 

[SurgamIdentidem]

I really like Koi Kogare. It's nice and unusual to hear this type of guitar riff in a Kajiura song (as well as male vocals, obviously). It would be interesting to know, who played the guitars here... Maybe both MWAM's guitarist and Korenaga?

 

[Decretum]

I’ve listened to it a couple of times now, and I’ve decided that it’s fairly solid. Not one of Kajiura’s best rock songs, but I like the arrangement and the verses. Parts of the chorus are decent, as well. Milet’s better at rock than I thought she was (I’ve don’t care for a lot of of her songs), and MAN WITH A MISSION do a good job at holding the song together.

Sadly, my greatest problem is the pre-chorus, which just kinda sounds like Homura again. The first line is nice and rocking, but then “Homura 2” kicks in and I get annoyed. Also, parts of the chorus sound a tad too generic for my tastes.

The song’s still pretty good! I just don’t absolutely love it, especially as a successor to Asa ga Kuru (which I adore).
