Magic Knight RayEarth (2026) music will be composed by Yuki Kajiura, Takumi Ozawa and Shiho Terada

Damn it, I saw the table on my phone and I skipped the composer name column lol
Soooo holy crap, 4 tracks is more or less what I was expecting, yes.
 
4 tracks on just this episode or the whole ost 1?
4 out of 27 Rayearth tracks that were added to JASRAC's database.
Whether that's going to be one OST or just the first batch of what they added, I've no idea.
Why they added 27 tracks before episode1 even aired, I also have no idea.

There's definitely not 27 tracks in this episode. There's maybe 5 minutes of music here and a lot of it feels like at most 30sec clips (not counting that 2min exposition from Clef in the 2nd half that I'm guessing is Ozawa).

At least two in this episode were Kajiura. The opening track (which appears to be the theme with Joelle in the first teaser) and the ?maina? theme.

I could not repeat one melody/theme from this episode otherwise. And I was excited for it so that sux. Hoping it gets better or that the OST release makes me appreciate the music more.

Kay, that BGM during Zagato's scene at the beginning of partB is growing on me. I want it. That ending choir takes me out of it completely though, lol.

I really want to like the music in this show... but the way it's presented in this episode really doesn't make me excited...
 
So Emeraude: Grief has to be the very first track of the episode.
And the Joelle track could be Battle (Hikaru and friends) <--- hope this is a tentative title...

Overall, I didn’t dislike the music in the episode. Some tracks actually took me back to the 90s. So for me, Ozawa and Terada did well. But it surprises me how little homogeneity there is between the three composers. I expected something more like ANTI HERO. Here it feels like each of them did their homework at home and then turned it in without actually working as a team.

Anyway, let's hope for some news...
 
Kay, so I was a little wrong. There's like 12 minutes of music in this episode.

edit:
removed some of my in-the-moment shit takes from the thread to not be overly negative about just snippets of music from the start.


I still think the episode itself did not do the music any favours and, even after cutting BGM out of the episode, I still think there's not many memorable themes here.

Hoping for the best in the coming weeks. I do want that first BGM from partB...

i just finished watching. I think the way the musics are mixed in doesnt let them scene much. i ll have to rewatch to pay more attention to them than the dialogues...
