(Mermaid Forest, Mermaid Scar, Rumiko Takahashi Gekijou: Mermaid Forest)
(人魚の森 / 人魚の傷 / 高橋留美子劇場 人魚の森 )


This thread has been long dead. So finally I am giving it life again. :) Some little updates on the files. So are I can't offer better mp3 rips. Only the single "Like an angel" was updated to mp3 320kbps.
Sadly the soundtrack CD for both Rumiko Takahashi Gekijou and Mermaid Forest are damn shamelessly incomplete. Yeah... it would be better if those HiBOOM assholes actually made 2 independent soundtrack releases for each series. Never expect much from HiBOOM label itself, the lords of worst soundtracks ever made in anime. Surprisingly, the soundtrack for Rumiko Takahashi Gekijou and Mermaid Forest TV series, was actually... music, and had good compositions; nothing memorable though.
Kenji Kawai did much better, and even Norihiro with "Mermaid Scar".

Enjoy and have fun with the mermaids. ^^

Thank you so much for the Mermaid's Scar OST!

Thank you!!! I've searched long for these:D

Thank you very much for sharing these! You have no idea how long it's taken me to find them. You're a life saver :)

Thanks a lot for sharing !!!

thanks a lot! any chance for mermaid's scar in FLAC?

I've been searching for the Mermaid's Scar original soundtrack, but the links are dead! Would it be possible to get them re-uploaded? I'd be eternally greatful!

I will upload soon:)
I was goigng to upload it today, but did not had time enough for it. Tomorrow I hope I have not much fo work so I can put these to upload ;)

My favourite manga series by Rumiko is the Mermaid Saga, I've just seen the last TV series that came out, a few episodes only and the animation looked so crappy, the ova from the 90's looks a lot better, I haven�t seen it yet, but if it is like the manga, it should rock hard!

Hey Orie, you own the Mermaid's Scar OST right, any chance for upping it in FLAC?

I own nothing. Sorry.

hi guys. I finally found Mermaid's Scar, but it's gone, again. Can you re-upload? Much appreciate.

pls re-up ;(

Graciass.

Please reupload.

plez repuload if someon have these ost's

Repost Please! I love Mermaid Saga :/ thanks!

Any chance of reupload this? I found Mermaid Forest and Rumiko OST but Scars and singles are nowhere : /. And btw the quality of what i ha(d) was 192 kbps. S so i think its the same for this, haha.

Also asking for a reupload.... I lost mine years ago in a hard drive crash and have never been able to find them.

Please reupload these soundtracks.

The files are dead

Sadly I lost this. This is one of my favorite OSTs, if someone could please re-upload it would be uber appreciated! ;O;

Ok guys, don't scream too loud but I just recently visited Tokyo and guess what I got...

Mermaid's Scar OST! It cost me about $25 US but it is well worth it as I've been seeking a perfect copy of this cd for over 10 years. Here it is in FLAC on me. Enjoy guys!!!!

Thanks a lot, agentmoler.

Just a question: your CD RIP *.cue (cue-sheet) file is missing, do you still have it?

I didn't rip it with a cue sheet. I might rip it again, I will reup if I do so.

Thanks for the fast reply, agentmoler.

I saw from your *.log file, you're a Macuser using the excellent ripping software XLD.
With this software, for cue-sheet file, no need to re-rip you CD. Just insert your audio CD in your Mac CD/DVD Drive, open XLD with the same settings as before (FLAC with separate files, same file naming options, etc.), then File–>"Open audio CD" and let scan pregap. Once finished, your track/file list appear on the screen, then scan for track names just as you did before. And at last, File–>"Save Cue Sheet As" (with "For separate files" option) and you have your *.cue matching for this CD. After all these, you could exit XLD as you wish. ;)

I was looking for the instrumental of the one in the opening not Angel but the other one but guess it doesn't exist. Thanks anyway

I did what you suggested and it is saving the .cue with WAVE file extensions instead of FLAC any suggestions or will you just take the WAVE one?

Thanks for the fast reply, agentmoler.

No problem, just change *.Wav to *.Flac extensions in Cue-Sheet file with a text editor (TextEdit on MacOS X) and save the file.
Or I can do it myself in your raw cue file.

Ok, i upped the cue and I also reupped the first song. i'm having a problem where I can't get the 1st song to load with the cue file through my music player. Maybe you can figure it out and reup the cue for me?

Yeah, I know what you say, it's a typical cue creating bug in XLD (MacOSX) and EAC (Windows) ripping softwares. I frequently have to correct it when I grab CD rips on the internet.

Here are corrected and working CUE and LOG files (encoded in UTF-8 for correct japanese names) and perfectly matching with your *.flac files. So, don't touch them now. ;)

Thanks for Mermaid's Scar Saga, Thanks to agentmoler for the Flac version! I thought the series was interesting but the tv anime never had a conclusive ending... since then tried to find out what happened with the story in the manga but wikipedia fails hard...

Thank you so much for the OST.
