I was thinking that since we get Kajiura info maybe she'd do the OST too but they have other person in change of "Music" in the staff/cast page...
 
Here's hoping it's not a disjointed mess of a song.

Also:
"details"
https://avex.jp/keiko-singer/discography/detail.php?id=1020062
apparently 4 tracks on DVD/BD editions + 2 on DVD/BD itself (PV+non credit ED? PV+making of? 2 different PVs?)
but 6 tracks on CD only version... (instrumentals or tvsizes? new tracks?)

Too much to ask for Kajiura bside?

So DVD/BD versions will have the Kajiura song + a B-side + instrumentals for both songs, CD only will have those + tv size and special edit version. So you're already right on your guess lol

That snippet on the PV is so short but the TV size version will be out in a week anyway. Plz be good. So far it's kinda giving Hyakka Ryouran
 
According to the site here the anime will air on January 11 https://myanimelist.net/anime/56242/Sengoku_Youko

Also a plot synopsis

Synopsis​

The world is divided into two factions: humans and monsters called katawara. Despite being a katawara, Tama loves humans and vows to protect them from evil, even if it means fighting her own kind. Her brother Jinka, however, hates humans, despite mostly being one. The siblings are joined by a cowardly swordsman named Shinsuke, who wants to learn how to become strong.

When the group uncovers a plot to experiment on humans and transform them into monsters, they vow to defeat whoever is behind it... Even if it means battling an entire army of warriors.

The people they meet, places they see, and creatures they battle will be legendary!

Also there is a manga thats on vol 100 by now.
 
Keiko basically won the post-Kalafina offers lmaoo
Still part of FJ main singers
Anime Tie-Ins/Solo Career - Avex/Lantis
FJ Keiko - Sony/Sacra

maybe the stars will align on this song no? All will be done by Kajiura(Nanairo w/ diff. arranger was a mistake), Kajiura already read/loved the manga before she got the offer AND KEIKO solo. At worst, it could be just Hyakka(listening again, it's only the chorus I dislike others gucci) though best case scenario it could go tsuioku just from the arrangement I hear.

TBA 2nd track? Oh we can go 50/50 Kajiura on this one. Rather optimistic cause 2nd title track should be done already if not by Kajiura unless Keiko be the lyricist and waiting for her to name it? They are busy preparing for Kajifes after all.

But yay super early tv size? So many releases next week I will feast :nosebleed::nosebleed::nosebleed::nosebleed::nosebleed:

Considering I was expecting the FBM to go full force into kajiura-anime-tiein-mode as soon as the trailer sample was ending, I am kind of impressed it's not exactly the case. That said... I don't know what to expect of the full version, lol, which in itself is kind of exciting, too, no? This tvsize feels like it went straight from the intro to the final 30 seconds of the full song, lol.
 
I agree it was unexpected that it went mostly smooth. Also enjoyed Keiko's self harmonies. However i need time to get used to the song.

This is what I'm thinking too... the tv size ver is kinda like it's intro - prechorus - final chorus and ending. feels like they completely skipped the first lines. Kinda exciting to think what the full song would sound like. But so far the song is good. Kajiura's best works for Keiko (or the best songs that she had Keiko sing) are indeed the ones that have Keiko going yehehehehiyeee in it.
