agreed

 

Im so excited for this CD. It was announced internationally right?

 

Wait why are TWEWY songs in english in the jp version? o.o normally arent lyrical songs on the kh tracks in japanese on their version?

Wish I could listen to them during school. They don't seem to work. T_T

L'Impeto Oscuro

WANT

Also, is it just me or is 'Someday' a lot slower than the original... can't remember...

 

Honestly, I'm finding a lot of Yoko's work this time around rather bland and forgettable.

Seriously, try telling Storm Diver from Untamable, or Majestic Wings, or Wild Blue or Ice-ho Lobster. PPretty hard.

And all of the Grid music sound different, but none of IT stands out either.

To quote Sora, 'yeesh'

All of them except Storm Diver and UNTAMABLE are easily distinguishable. And even then, those two tracks can be differentiated if you listen closely.

I do agree that most of them aren't as memorable as her earlier works though. Maybe when playing the game, they'll become more attached to us.

I'm voting DDD for the worst Kingdom Hearts soundtrack. Yoko, you've lost your spot as my favorite composer after composing such trash. I hear god-damn Garageband samples. Well, Hello Takeharu Ishimoto! Hope Yoko doesn't mind you taking her spot...

Meh, I'm not interested in music that sounds good while I'm playing. I want music that sounds good in SPITE of me playing. Music I can just listen to by itself.

Think about it this way. What if you heard any of the other soundtracks before playing the game? Maybe you would have felt the same way.

I just hope she picks it up in the next game though. Maybe the "dream" theme got to her, and she tried too hard to make it sound "dream"-like.

I noticed they mentioned "Xigbar" on this list instead of "Braig". In fact, he was called Xigbar on one of the magazine scans, and resembles his Nobody's self rather than his human self, as the other apprentices do. Does this mean he's still a Nobody?

Well, see, you know those songs from the first disc that are previewed here? Besides the rearrangement of "Dearly Beloved", Yoko did not compose those songs. I don't know the name of the one who composed these previewed song, but it appears they're previewing the songs that were not made by Yoko, besides "Dearly Beloved" of course. I don't know if the previewed songs from the second disc were made by Yoko either. But I do know that if you're judging solely by the songs previewed here, you are being unfair simply by the fact that not all the songs have been heard yet.

I have to admit that the nutcracker numbers were the only ones I expected (well, that and night on bald mountain) and that is because we could hear one of the tracks in the dual link video

Yoko did not compose those songs.

 

Please tell me why and how she didn't compose those song. She is the MAIN, LEAD composer of KH, and this game. She had too of composed them.

I HAVE heard the soundtracks before the others games came out. I got into KH rather late. One of my deciding factors on eventually getting all of the games was their excellent OSTs.

The biggest example is Birth By Sleep. As soon as the game was released in Japan, I began a frantic search for the ost. I like Dark Impetus, Future Masters, Dearly Beloved.

Also, I don't have any Final Mix, but the Final Mix music is excellent, despite my not having played the game along with the music.

This is just a weak soundtrack. Where are my violins? My distinct melodies? The best songs I've heard so far are the Traverse Town themes, and they pale in comparison to previous world themes. (Though they are by no means the worst)

The answer lies on the official website, at least in regards to Disc 1:

 

http://www.square-en...sem/page/kh/3d/

 

This site, as you are no doubt aware, lists the song titles, as well as the staff members responsible for the composition (作曲) and arrangement (編曲) each song. Among the credited composers and arrangers are Yoko Shimomura (下村陽子), Kaoru Wada (和田薫), Tsuyoshi Sekito (関戸剛), and Takeharu Ishimoto (石元丈晴).

 

The songs from Disc 1 previewed on the site are credited by the following people:

 

Dearly Beloved - Composed by Yoko Shimomura, arranged by Kaoru Wada

Storm Diver - Composed and arranged by Tsuyoshi Sekito

TWISTER -KINGDOM MIX- - Composed and arranged by Takeharu Ishimoto

CALLING -KINGDOM MIX- - Composed and arranged by Takeharu Ishimoto

UNTAMABLE - Composed and arranged by Tsuyoshi Sekito

SOMEDAY -KINGDOM MIX- - Composed and arranged by Takeharu Ishimoto

Majestic Wings - Composed and arranged by Tsuyoshi Sekito

Wild Blue - Composed and arranged by Tsuyoshi Sekito

 

As you can see, only Dearly Beloved had Yoko Shimomura's credit listed. The remaining eight tracks on Disc 1, which are not previewed, were all credited as being composed and arranged by Yoko Shimomura.

 

Now, I don't know which songs on the other two discs were composed by which people (save the Nutcracker Suite and Bare Mountain), but I know enough to know that this soundtrack is at least more of a collaborative effort. So I guess we can't really say it's Yoko's fault for making the songs. Maybe she approved of them, but I really don't know for sure.

Thank you. Now, Yoko is back as my favorite composer. I hope Yoko and Ishi do it next time.

Hey, clearing up misunderstanding is what I strive for.

Hm. I see Beethoven and Tchaikovsky on this soundtrack.

I hear god-damn Garageband samples.

 

Ha ha.

Oh wow.

You're referring to SOMEDAY, CALLING and TWISTER, aren't you

Ha. Wow. Keep up the good work, Dolan!

I was referring the 'Digital Domination'. I love the TWEWY songs.

Thank GOD

You had me worried for a while...

The music is different this time around. It's more energetic and techno-y. When would a song like Calling or Someday ever be used?
