Slime Boukenki - Umi da, Yeah!

I have reached Yuki nirvana
:nophoto:

An apparently Dragon Quest-related 15 minutes OVA, released in 1999. The only reason I have heard of it right now is one site listing Yuki as the composer there. Is it verifiable? :confu: I can't find any decent info in western databases, and all the torrents are dead...

EDIT: OK, there are some other links:

http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=8982 - lists Yuki, too. Also from that source:

Note: Released as a bonus on a VHS titled "V Jump VFes 99 Video" (Vジャンプ Vフェス'99ビデオ), which was distributed as a present at the 1999 V Jump Festival. About 3000 copies were made and besides the anime, it featured footage from 8 different games.

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/スライム冒険記 - I tried to Ctrl+F Yuki's name kanji on the page, but with no results. :confu:
 
interesting find! There looks like a lot of torrent results for 32mb flv so maybe we can try to obtain that and see if anything sounds familiar :ohoho:
 
I'm already trying that, but there are no seeders and only a handful of peers. I'm stuck at 19% and they're not playable yet.
 
31%, 1,1 kb :wash:
It seems like the torrent file is the same everywhere.
Niconico doesn't seem to have it either.
 
I'm pretty much samewhere, but the stupid torrent refuses to download the video consistently. And from the bits I squeeze out, I hear the scenes with dialogue and no music. In Murphy's law we trust. :XD:

Although wait, there's something merry at the very end. Could or could not be a BGM, but if it IS by Yuki, it sounds along the lines of Sunday Island. :plot:
 
90.4% and the segment i'm able to play doesn't have that nice sounding two seconds anymore T_T the music i do hear isn't really characteristic
 
Heck, it's fifteen minutes and there are still BGM-less scenes there... I wonder how much music is actually there to hear. :desksweat:
 
it looks like a kid's show to me, but I'm interested what Yuki composed for it.
 
Kajiura-sensei's also listed as composer in the information here, but I can't find much else about it...I was hoping that the back of the cover would have some credits, but it doesn't :uh..:
 
Well, we do know that the director is Masaaki Yuasa and the special's adapted from a Dragon Quest-related manga.
Otherwise it's a small project, not even TOO surprising Yuki's discography never mentions it. And I doubt it's even something to ever make its way into a WfS compilation, let alone get a release anywhere. :uh..:
I was hoping that we could get at least a ripped version, but like Kerahna, I'm stuck at 92,5%. That's what the absence of seeds absolutely means for a torrent. :cry: And the downloaded part is fragmentary as hell, I've only got the opening scenes (cut off during a nice laid-back guitar intro), a second or two of the scene in the current and a piece of ending credits with a lively melody. The rest remains unplayable. :uh..:

Here's a screencap I've made, it SEEMS to feature some kanji similar to Yuki's name, although with their font of choice it could be anything. :desksweat: But other watchable credits don't even bear that close a similarity. Can anyone make out what's written here?

I can't read the first name and it's obviously not Kajiura Yuki. The second name isn't Kajiura Yuki either. It's -something-hara Yuki... and he/she isn't credited for Music either. You should search this 梶浦由記 (Kajiura Yuki) or 音楽 (Music)

Eh, ignore me. Just ask ninetales or Yuki88 or Kera...
 
None of the names in there look similar to Kajiura-sensei's to me, and there's no 音楽 either...

Are you sure there's no other version you can download? When I searched for credits, I found a billion torrent sites that apparently listed it. Plus, there are some VHS copies available for sale :XD:
 
After loading the first torrent, I tried about a dozen more, and the client kept telling me, "it's already in your list".
Maybe we could try our luck on some hardcore DQ forums and wikias...
