This, I'm fairly sure, is Yoko Kanno the pianist, not our Kanno - the anime/film composer and Jpop songwriter. This caused a bit of confusion some years ago on the Gabriela Robin forums, if memory serves; somebody picked up an album from Kanno #2 and found that this Kanno's biography didn't match up with what was known about our Kanno #1. A bit of digging yielded the incredible fact that there are in fact two Kannos - roughly of similar ages, and both musicians.

Also, I would hotly contest the statement that she (either of the Kanni - now THERE'S a corruption of plural terminology for you!) is the finest pianist alive... Kanno's piano technique is a lot things - perfect isn't one of them. Prodigy she may well be, but as a pianist she's untrained and distinctly amateur. (Nothing wrong with that - so was Beethoven; merely a statement that there are many many many folk more proficient than she at tinkling the ivories.)


You don't say? Interesting, and sorta bizzare, but I've heard of weirder cases of Same-Name Syndrome. Now what to tag it as...Yoko Kanno 2?


Off topic, I wrote the initial post about Kanno's double and then went straight to bed. It's true what they say - you dream about whatever you were thinking about when you went to sleep. I don't want to be too graphic, but both Kannos were... aquainted... and spent quite a long time getting to know each other more comprehensively. I believe May'n was there too.


"Yeah, you like that don't you, you dirty, filthy thief? That's right. Oh yeah, tickle those ivories, baby. Push the pedals! PUSSSH THEMMMM! You, Sheryl. Get over here and give me some o that sweet, sweet engrish."


That may very well be the most erotic thing ever posted on this great forum...

Gotta say, this music is putting me to sleep... Even for easy listening music, I like it with a bit more color. Herr Salat, try this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M7YXWlaG8w) and see if you like it. Skip forward to the 50-second mark for the music.

Thanks, Akashi San!! :'D

I like the linked music. Better than this, definitely. I was also expecting more, but at least we now know what YK2 is capable of ^^

I didn't even know there is another Yoko Kanno in the music industry. You still have my gratitude for making this music available (I know it wasn't cheap). :)
In case you haven't realized, the Kanno that we are more familiar with always stylizes her name as 菅野よう子, but both Kannos share the same name 洋子.

I'm glad you liked that linked music. She is also an actress and appeared as the heroine in Adiantum Blue (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/big-orchestral-action-music-thread-57893/206.html#post1477052). Here (http://www.mediafire.com/?v1i9a3kpyf7kdh1)'s FLAC for that one piece.

Urgh, the king of embarrassing quotes (and their judicious reposting) does it again...! ;)

Thank you, sir. :)

Akashi-san - she's good, but can she do this? 超�*�點女�*� - 林逸欣 - Taiwan Artist Shara Lin - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8dMmF-caxU)

HAHAHA. I don't know if Mozart in his grave would be too happy with the girl, but she's pretty cute... :D

thank for this score :)

Mozart was a horny devil. I expect he would appreciate it from at least that perspective if not a musical one... ;)

many thanks!

Thanks.

Big Thanks Herr Salat!!! :)
I will listen.
Pure curiosity...

thanks Salat

Thanks!

Thank you!!

Could these be re-uploaded, please?
