Tokyo.Sora soundtrack | Yoko Kanno
Yoko Kanno is the greatest musician who has ever lived.
Not for the Honey & Clover movie,
Not for Cowboy Bebop,
Not even for Stand Alone Complex,
But for Tokyo.Sora – the greatest soundtrack for the greatest film ever created.
Kanno-sama has said in 20 minutes what most artists will spend their entire lifetimes struggling to even attempt to understand.
And the Arjuna soundtrack…. NEVER FORGET THE ARJUNA SOUNDTRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, so very, very good. I’ve been listening to it FOR DAYS. I *heart* Yoko Kanno….. Yep, I’m a geek. Just like you, Nav. Just like you. *hugs*

RYN: The anime itself I enjoyed but is not ranked high on my list of faves. Worth watching, but not one I would rewatch more than a few times(and I would only rewatch it because I own it, not because I would seek it out if I didn’t). I agree that it was pretty blunt, and that’s really the only major issue I have with it. The soundtrack I am absolutely in love with. I guess I can forgive….

…. Arjuna it’s failings BECAUSE of the soundtrack. Sound weird? I just don’t think I would be able to ignore the series’ problems if the music wasn’t so gorgeous. I have a small list of fave soundtracks, consisiting of Arjuna, Noein, Hellsing, Wolf’s Rain, Heat Guy J, Cowboy Bebop, Gankutsuou, and Angel Sanctuary. Only a few of those series’ are ones I really like. The others are ok, but….

… they just aren’t my thing. I just really like the music. And anything by Joe Hisaishi. Especially the Princess Mononoke soundtrack. The combination of his music and Miazaki’s genius is golden. Oooo.. I forgot to mention Elfen Lied:) Yep. Still a geek. *hugs*
