Also see midsection "Fuscus the Vacant Colossus" and turn it higher and more hopeful version. According to @george1234 it's Joelle :p (https://canta-per-me.net/lyrics/fuscus-the-vacant-colossus/ ) same for "together we can defeat it". not dying on this hill tho thanks xd

I am so confused (or you are confused with my posts). It absolutely is Joelle.

^oh uh.. yea I didn't even quote your post but I think I am not confused, just pointing out stuff I looked into:) Remi and Joelle's voices can mingle in my ears at least.

plot translation from official site https://rayearth-anime.com/introduction/

社会見学にやってきた東京タワーで突然、
異世界「セフィーロ」に招喚された獅堂光・龍咲海・鳳凰寺風。

そこで三人は、「セフィーロ」の平和と秩序を祈りの力で守ってきた
姫・エメロードが、捕われの身となり世界に危機が訪れていることを知る。

「セフィーロ」を救うべく、エメロード姫によって招喚された三人の少女は、
果たして伝説の「魔法騎士」となり、姫と世界を救うことが出来るのか！？

While on a school field trip to Tokyo Tower,
Hikaru Shido, Umi Ryusaki, and Kaze Hououji were suddenly summoned to the alternate world of “Sefiro.”

There, the three learn that Princess Emerald, who has long protected the peace and order of “Sefiro” through the power of prayer,
has been taken captive, and the world is now in crisis.

Summoned by Princess Emerald to save “Sefiro,”
will these three girls truly become the legendary “Magic Knights” and save the princess and the world!?

Picture of the 3 seiyu i suppose ? https://x.com/rayearth_info/status/2037832076544635055/photo/1

I am curious about them bringing out the VAs for the princess (pillar) and the antagonist. I am expecting dramatic vocal performances from them.

 

[Lorde-Kowz]

Oh lawd. A couple of months ago they released some visuals and I thought "Would b cool if music by Kajiura". I would prefer if it was solo Kajiura, but Ozawa is cool, and I liked Terada in AH.
Muh Joelle sounds lovely. Second track is definitely REMI + choir.

 

[Sora]

Finally a new project!

Trailer track was nice. I like the 2 other composers and I hope this is more of a collaborative effort than a divide and conquer situation.

 

[george1234]

The official site also has this video apart from the new PV. https://youtu.be/IWnj91xAq7o?is=IV_Ub4_sBAlhbVsJ its from a year ago from the anime's 30th anniversary when the new adaption was announced. I supposed the bgm used is from the old anime or even something stock.

@Sora: Well they seem to have recorded the whole thing on Kajiura's home studio, n they looked happy on the pics back in Feb so it seems collaborative. In contrast in the past when Kajiura contributed tracks in projects that were not just herself as composer she often never met the other composer i think thats the case in Xenosaga 2 where she only did the cutscenes musics. I think she also never met with Go Shiina for Kimetsu (apart from that award ceremony day)

I hope you're not talking about this studio:

'cause that's SOUND INN, not her home.

You're on some drugs, if you think she could afford to have a proper studio for so many people at her home. She'd be making bank off renting it out and we'd never see her compose again. Or the opposite, she'd be long broke and in a psychiatric ward.

 

[george1234]

^ Not drugs just bad memory. :)

btw Ozawa and Terada twits about the anime

[wat11]

Still sounds to me like REMI backed up by Joelle (and maybe LL or Kaori). I stand to be corrected.

 

[MushiMushi]

I agree this particular part has a strong REMI flavour. I always enjoy YK tracks that invoke the feelings of azure skies and breeze so this trailer literally brightened up my day.

I also wish it was solo Kajiura for everything though! Terada in AH did not leave much impression on me.

 

[LianaIlia36]

Yes!!!! MKR is one of my favorite series and having Kajiura even involved at all is amazing! I hope she has more of a role in this one. And one can only hope that she does a vocal track for it and they play it at ACen. Maybe too hopeful? I can dream. It isn't that far from May really.

The very end of Joelle's part sounds really familiar, but can't place it.

Reminds of Fena soundtrack in style. One of the slower tracks. Vise versa maybe ?

@grunty Are there any Jasrac entries for the 3 composers related to this anime ?

 

[george1234]

Another recording session with Kajiura Shiho and Ozawa https://x.com/piano_shiho/status/2039907614335840641

are they still recording for Magic Knighy RayEarth ? They said "song". means "OP/ED" or its general term for music ?
