Kajiura and Shiho Terada working on BGM for J- drama "Anti-hero" (OST release: June 5, 2024)

the show is available to stream on netflix in certain region, one week slower than the actual weekly release. i just finished watching the first episode on netflix. the premise was quite interesting but the acting is a little bit too over the top (very typical of jdrama) and the dialogues are... certainly interesting at some point. the show is quite intriguing and I'm gonna continue watching it.

edit: i feel like i should've talked about the music. not new, i like the hanae and eri track. everything else just passed me by lol.

unrelated but I'm also watching the show that iirc used to occupy the same time slot, Unnatural (now streaming on Netflix too). it's giving discount american police/medical procedural but i dig those kind of shows. the soundtrack usage is also more interesting to me.

1 more week to Main Theme release~

they played more of the loud choir/guitar/strings from the previous episode
two simple arranges of the main theme, one orgel and one more evil that I'm not sure what the instrument would be...
and the preview has a different bloat choir/strings/guitar with a more bloated ver of the expanded hanae main theme ending...

I'm thinking of cancelling my CD order and just getting the digital cause I really don't care for much here... but I want the credits and to support standalone kaji releases... darnit...

I don't know if main theme is available on spotify already, but probably should be when it hits midnight in Japan (in 3 hours)? NZ are always the earliest ;p
If not, I hope the preorder is available on ototoy, too.

Well... it might end up being 1 minute of one arrange, 1 minute of another arrange, etc...
 
Thank you NICHION but you f*cked it up lol
Grab it before the fix~
 
After watching the episodes, the full main theme feels like a forced remix of some scattered fragments with the motif.
Aaaand finally, the rest of the Eri vocals.
 
I love the first half. I love the new Eri lines in the 2nd half... I don't even mind the first choir part & modulations - clearly the theme(show?) takes a dramatic dark turn at some point... but then the bloated percussion 5:30+ choir part I loathe. LOATHE. Perhaps it would be sufferable just instrumental... perhaps... Alas...

Do we think the opening/ending kajiurago is Hanae or Kajiura? Or "mostly" one or the other...

I'm not going to comment on the rest of the OST for now... Sony may be mad...
BUT... I don't think the orgel ver of main theme is included? Vol2 plz?

As I told previously, I'm pretty sure that the vocals are by Kajiura+Hanae. I even think Kajiura in leading the first lines of the main theme, then Hanae and Eri...

Ιts down already 😭

Love the main theme, especially the first half and the ending with the chorus.
checking samples from the apple link:
- Really nice Jazzy 1st theme variation
- Wow i LOVE the strings in "Taiketsu" theme <3

I really like Nageki's sombre flute but I knew that already. It's very pretty.

I like Eri's parts in the middle of Main theme but otherwise it's way too long and gets boring after a while. The first half is good.

I'm not bothered to look at non-theme ones right now lol but I can say more later.
