| It's been a long time (1 or 2 years) since Yoko Kanno worked on something. And I'm really glad to hear her brilliance once again. Now even more, I can't wait for Zankyou no Terror to air. So for those who have already listened the album, what are your favorites tracks? Personally, I absolutely loved: 08 - Lava. It's good to hear a male voice that accompanies Yoko's melodies, just like the old good times with Steve Conte. 12 - nc17. It's a beautiful work on piano then it changes to electric guitar. Pretty interesting. 15 - Seele. Carillion-like, but with a gently piano. 07 - Veat. Clearly reminds me the sound of CB with that gag-eletronic music, at least I had the same vibes. 02 - Von. Beautiful. This is one of the reasons WHY I love Yoko Kanno so much. The language of the vocal doesn't exist, because as she stated in a interview there are no spoken languages that can actually express how she feels about her music. 09 - Walt. OUTSTANDING on every possible level. Probably my favorite of the whole album. Kanno 100%. 06 - Hanna. Is also a beautiful piece with the vocal of a child, Kanno never changes after all. Overall, I absolutely loved this new album. I'm looking forward to hear where they will put these tracks. Also, is it only me or lately the titles for the soundtracks are really strange? I mean, Shiro Sagisu's latest album and Sawano Hiroyuki's last two/three albums had strange titles too. |

| Fantastic album! I even start imagining some random scenes from Zankyou no Terror with a couple of tracks. My favorites so far: - lolol - fugl - walt - nc17 Strange titles are strange, indeed. |
 |
| Amazing OST. It really makes me wonder how some of these tracks will be used in the anime. Weird titles though, apparently some of them are Icelandic? Hanna, lolol and walt would be my favourite tracks if I had to pick, but I seriously do love this album. |
| Yoko Kanno can do no wrong, that's for sure. Amazing! |
| Powerful eyebrows. |

| The music with the female vocals are not on the ost. :( |
 |
| Wow, just listening to this OST makes me so excited. It's a masterpiece! Tomorrow can't come fast enough. |
| I hear playing sitar and indian tabla in some of tracks. Wow |

galimx said: Sounds about right to me. I just love how Yoko Kanno can make completely different sounding music. She's so diverse and talented.Yoko Kanno never dissapoints.. And what style of music is that? Googling says: Neo-classical, piano, experimental, electronica, ambient ? |
galimx said: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sGk00ImApI&list=PLQL62XB2IDF2RdlmXG0Clm7YxhG0doJft&index=2 guys, what language is this? Icelandic? Yoko Kanno never dissapoints..

Of course not always is like that. Also yes, the tags are pretty accurate. |

galimx said: Wait what? Zankyou no Terror OST - von (ft. Arnor Dan) I googled and it says the language is islandic, so I dunno :) I am not entirely sure. I'm not really sure either, you might be right, but you know there's the possibility that the language might not exist, since Yoko Kanno always do that kind of stuff with her music. |
|
| OST is already out? Oh my god. |

| Fantastic OST. Initial reaction is that this is the best I've heard since Kill la Kill's first one, at least for now. |
 |
| Fuck, now I can't wait to get home. It seems amazing judging from the reactions. |

| I like birden for its melancholic tone. And I especially like the title, because it gives "lifting the burden off your shoulder" a whole new, beatufiul meaning. It's like the burden has lifted and flew away to give the person the freedom characteristic of a bird flying in the sky. |

It's like the burden has lifted and flew away to give the person the freedom characteristic of a bird flying in the sky. Couldn't agree more with you, I also find pretty accurate the meaning you just gave to it with the melody itself, since it starts really gently and "free", then at 2.31 it becomes pretty restless and then again quiet. |
|
| Loved it as well. I'm looking forward to how they'll match the songs in the anime. |
| I only listened to it once. Very consistent, yoko never disapoints, OST of the Year for the moment! Favorite tracks so far are: saga hannah (<3 the vocal) birden is 22 bless ess (MOTHERFUCKING ess) |

She hasn't produced a single bad OST that I can recall, and unlike Yuki experiments and mixes musical genres into her work very often. Jazz, electronic, classical, you name it. I would say Kanno deserves the attention. |

Yoko Kanno's works definitely are on another level. Personal favorites besides hannah are lolol and von and fugl, but it's pretty hard to pick with all that awesomeness. |

| 10/10 ost so much emotions can be felt in each track |

Thank you :) I actually looked up to see if "birden" meant anything in any language, and apparently in Turkish it means "suddenly." Lol for now i like my own interpretation better :P Anyways, thank YOU for posting these up. I wouldn't even have discovered the soundtrack if you hadn't posted up the link. |

| Loved her OST from GitS For a second I also thought she did psycho-pass, but that was mainly by a person called Yuugo Kanno... any relation between the tow? if there is, they must be a family of musical geniuses. I honestly didn't remember hearing anything amazing from first ep, need to re-watch and pay more attention to the music to see if I missed any gems. |
| [size=200]MAL AVATAR SYSTEM BLOWS |
| She has outdone herself with this one, so much power and emotions in each track. |
| sic mundus |
| I'd say the track that stood out the most for me would be von. It felt so heavy and really lonely like you're stuck in the deepest level of depression >__< I didn't expect to hear a child's voice in hanna. It really fit well :o is and birden are nice tracks to listen to after von. There's something refreshing about it. I didn't feel blessed at all after listening to bless. It felt so sad but beautiful T__T |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Her OST for Darker than Black also be amazing. I'm glad she's back with new music. |
| I also like how the soundtrack "Hanna" is titled like this because the little girl who sings is precisely called Hanna Berglind. That's somehow a tribute to her I guess, it's a pretty honest and heartwarming message.

As far I know, there isn't any relation between the two but yeah I get your point. Yuugo Kanno is really good too, I'm starting to appreciate him with Psycho-Pass and Stardust Crusaders. pakoko said: Akanezora said: Couldn't agree more with you, I also find pretty accurate the meaning you just gave to it with the melody itself, since it starts really gently and "free", then at 2.31 it becomes pretty restless and then again quiet.

| Totally unrelated but why can you only put 7 people as your favorites and not 10? This sucks.. xD The ost is absolutely amazing, as expected from Kanno. Makes me only more hyped to see the rest of the series. I'm so glad we have someone like her in the anime industry, she's not afraid to experiment with her tracks. Watanabe and her work so well together! |
| Daaamn, so good! One of the best anime OSTs I've heard in a while! All tunes were great, but I really enjoyed lolol, walt, nc17. |
| I miss this woman so much!! |
| english isn't my native language... ;) |
| Veat is amazing. |
 |
| It's not a question man. It's not to wonder about. All you need to know is, fuck Kajiura Yuki, hail Kanno Youko. Unlike the former, the latter actually knows great musical theory. Once you listen to the blues side of jazz, then you can't go wrong. |
| No. 8, lava, reminds me quite a bit of pink floyd |
| does anyone know what is playing at 20:10 of episode 2? |
orchidork said: does anyone know what is playing at 20:10 of episode 2? Can't seem to find it, I hope to hear something more about that. Or even better, a future release date for a possible 2nd album. |
|
| She's really awesome. :)) |
 |
| A rather spectacular soundtrack indeed. Her style is distinctly different from the mainstream, complementing the series as a whole well. |
| Aw yeah, Yoko Kanno never dissapoints. Furthermore, she is doing some Icelandic stuff? Pretty awesome, I love Sigur Ros, so it is quite the delight. |
| I've listened to the OST every night, before going to bed. This, along the likes of kara no kyoukai and mushishi just make waking up and going to bed a whole different experience of bliss. My top 3 so far, in no particular order: Walt nc17 is (since I now picture the bike scene which was totally awesome) I'll be listening to this ost for a long time, from time to time. |

Drust said: any information on that whether there will be a second album?( which includes the missing tracks like the one at the end of episode 2 etc.) If someone knows anything about it I'd be grateful:D. Btw as the previous links are not working anymore thought I'd give a good one: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz7wXq31pBLGBbR0qq9cE1cMHE9G9aiSW Not yet, but don't get your hopes too high, because very often they don't even release the missing tracks. It personally happened to me a lot of times. Thanks for the link anyway, much appreciated. |
|
| The OST so overpowered it distracts me from the anime itself... Ohhh All Hail Yoko Kanno TvT |
| > why is Yoko Kanno so amazing? because she is. o.o my personal favorite as of now is definitely nc17. looping the shit out if it right when i listened to it. nc17 is von lolol veat seele these are some golden music. as always she has gone international.. now with Icelandic musicians and singers getting roped in :D |
| Is (feat. POP ETC) is so beautiful. |
