Of the above albums, My Story Classical is the most highly orchestral. All 5 albums contain orchestral accompaniment with Ayumi Hamasaki singing. The Orchestral Remix albums do contain a little bit of other background instruments but are still quite enjoyable. You might want to download one of the albums first to see if you like Ayumi Hamasaki's voice.

Grabbing it. Thanks a lot!

this is INSANE. I don't know how people can be overlooking this. thank you very much it is excellent

I listened to first 2CDs and...First of all, orchestra is small (sometimes very small), most tracks are based on strings and piano, sometimes there is a woodwind or two, brass are absent for most of the time. Arranges are rather simple, without extravagance (only few of them were actually performed by full orchestra), which makes this album kinda monotonous. But melodies are very nice and catchy (well, after all it's pop), and they are the strongest element here.

So - after all - I have to say that it's pleasent listen. Those CDs can bring some light to those ugly Autumn days:). So thanks Sirusjr.

People - myself included - have a certain "expectation" when they see the words "Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra" in connection with a Japanese album... The orchestrations are, as herbaciak has already observed, surprisingly lean - they're not at all unpleasant, but after a while (say, for instance, four hours) they all begin to feel very repetitive... The J-Pop melodies are all rather cliched and similar in tone, as they go (as you'd expect) and I think they really needed an overpowering, florid orchestration to make them work. These are arrangements that really "play it safe" and given the source material, they really shouldn't be.

After all that, I'm still really really enjoying this, but as an easy-listening, calming, background album - not as the ravishing "J-Pop symphony" that is implied. It's music for lazy days, for taking it easy, for sitting around doing absolutely nothing, and enjoying every minute of it.

I'm probably being unfair, because I expect if this album had been called "Classical J-Pop - Melodies for A Sunny Sunday Afternoon" then we'd all be giving rave reviews...

THANK YOU for posting... and I am definitely interested in hearing more if anybody has anything else like this --- or can point me in the right direction for finding more.

As you may have noticed in the tags (can't remember if I left them as I found them) there are a number of tracks performed by the Janacek Philharmonic Orchestra. I have one more album I haven't had time to post yet called Jpop meets Classic Harmony - hitomi. i'm not really sure which Hitomi the music is from (as there are so many) but it is a great listen as well. I'll try to post it soon :D
EDIT: I updated my post to reflect that some tracks are by the Janacek Philharmonic Orchestra.

I think This Set is very Good Sirusjr Especially CD01 and CD04....But the Harmony ~ Jpop Meets Classics Set Conatins of Six CD:
(http://img22.imageshack.us/i/harmony1.jpg/)

DISC2 Every Little Thing メロディー
DISC3 Do As Infinity メロディー
DISC4 hitomi メロディー
DISC5 TRF/globe メロディー
DISC6 宇多田ヒカル
If you Have Already This Set, Please Upload Them...

I Think The set with 4 Cds (That You've Uploaded Already) is Called"HARMONY J-POP MEETS CLASSICS for Slow Life"...
(http://img266.imageshack.us/i/harmony2.jpg/)
The Set Conatins:
Disc1　Morning Call
Disc2　Afternoon Tea
Disc3　Dinner Time　
Disc4　Dream Sleep
PS1:
I think that Your Thread Should Be Called now HARMONY J-POP MEETS CLASSICS for Slow Life
PS 2:
I wish if there is a CD With the Same idea (Classic or Soft Jazz) For J-Pop in 80's &90's Best Songs As Most of the 80's & 90's Songs have astonishing Composition...Or For Best American Pop in the 80's...

Thank You For this Uploading

Wow !!

And again, SirusJr, you are the Best, thank's for the share. :)

Orchestral + JPop = Awesome :p

Holy... where did you find that gem??

I didn't even know that this sub-genre exists!!

Sonataaa - Ahh that explains where my hitomi one came from. No, sadly I don't have the full 6cd set. Perhaps someone else does, i'll try to upload the hitomi disc soon.

EDIT: Thanks for the information about this one, I edited the title. THese sets are so hard to find much info on.

No Problem Sirusjr, If You want the Tracklist For Each CD, Please Feel Free To Ask...

Would you guys be interested in me making a pack of the original JPOP songs contained in this pack (at least the ones I have)? Or do most people here have this stuff already?

For me,
I have this stuff already !

:)

nice 1

I added a link for the hitomi album I have. I don't have a good cover art.

Thank You So Much Sirusjr For Adding DISC4 hitomi メロディー, Very Good...I Found the Disc01 AYUMI HAMASAKI MELODY From The Harmory:Jpop Meets Classics Set...I Can Upload if You Want it...

I just found that one too hahaha I'll add it in a bit! Damn me hiding this stuff within various artists.

Actually, what bitrate is yours? mine looks like only 160kbps.

EDIT: It seems I also have 5 Orchestral albums from Ayumi Hamasaki that aren't from this series where its orchestral background with singing. I'll upload those as well soon :D (Those are in 320kbps :D)

The Disc01 AYUMI HAMASAKI MELODY that I do have with a Birate of 128Kbps...So Your's Sirusjr is in better Quality....Do You have Any other Orchestral albums Different From This Set?!....I don't Like Ayumi Hamasaki and Utada Hikaru That much... if they can Do an Orchestral albums Or Jazz Albums For Miho Komatsu or Zard Or Garnet Crow (Those True Artists)....That Would be a Marvelous Experience...
There is an interseting Album For Anzen Chitai that I was searching Years ago Called "JAZZ de Kikuo ...... Hitori Bocchi no Yell" "安全地帯- JAZZで聴く�ひとりぼっちのエール" Which is a Jazz instrumental collection for Best Songs of Anzen Chitai...I think it would be great to Get this CD....
(http://img291.imageshack.us/i/gokumiyukiimg600x450123.jpg/)
And there is another CD For the 80's Best J-pop Songs in Piano "Jazz Style"...is Called "ニューミュージックオブジャズピアノ Jazz Piano"....I think this CD Also Good...

Thank's for the Disc. 4 :)


ps:Hitomi Shimatani ? or another Hitomi ?

That's a chunk of music, and it is well appreciated :)

Wow, I can't wait to hear it :)
Thank you~

Thank's for the Disc. 4 :)


ps:Hitomi Shimatani ? or another Hitomi ?
I'm not sure, let me know if you can tell :P

I'm not sure, let me know if you can tell :P

No, It's not Hitomi Shimatani, It's a another J-pop artist called "Hitomi".

But, If you don't know who is Hitomi Shimatani, just click on this youtube link, and you will discover a very good jpop artist. :)

ps: The disc 4 is absolutely amazing, *o* thank's a lot for this share.

"Be Myself" listen again and again............
;)

Why don't they do anything by namie amuro?? =P

zaykho - Oh i know hitomi shimatani, just a bit too lazy to check beacuse I rarely pay attention to individual song names. My other point is there are sooo many artists named Hitomi something or other that its difficult to tell. I really love the hitomi who did songs on Escaflowne and is from Bless4 but its hard to tell because she also goes by hitomi.

Taldarin - I can think of numerous awesome jpop singers who should have their work done this way and haven't. Its better to enjoy what is there :)

Thanks, this is awesome

I added Ayu-Mi-X I-IV acoustic orchestral as well as My Story Classical by Ayumi Hamasaki. They have orchestra with vocals and are quite nice if you enjoy Ayumi Hamasaki's voice. I also added Ayumi Hamasaki disc from the 6cd Jpop Meets Classics.

Taldarin - I can think of numerous awesome jpop singers who should have their work done this way and haven't. Its better to enjoy what is there :)

Well yeah, but namie is the freakin' queen of j-pop so one would assume there'd be some of this work done!

But then again, her work is a lot more R&B, which I'd assume is kind of hard to translate into something orchestral >.<

But anyways, about the "Harmony ~ Jpop Meets Classics For a Slow Life", I actually like it a lot, and didn't find it monotonous at all.

Here Sirusjr the Japanese Offical Cover For Harmony ~ Jpop Meets Classics (Ayumi Hamasaki) From the Set(Six CD)...

Yes, but I thing I have find the artist who was contribued in the disc 4:

"hitomi"

> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitomi

If you look the trackname, you will see "Love 2000", "By Myself" etc..... the same on the disc4.

ps: Thank's for the new release :)

Umm...I realized I downloaded the second link instead of the first link yesterday.
I clicked it to download the first link today but all I see is blank page.
Is this just happening to me or is this because my computer is vista? T^T

In resume, only two links are functional the first and second, but still... this is a great aport.
PS: Can you re.upload them, I'd like to have them all xDD
Greetings.

Ok mate, give me a bit of time, i'll see when I can get them re-uploaded.

So all of these songs are sung and they're all orchestral versions yes?

I just want disc 3 XD

The ayumix orchestral albums yes have vocals but with orchestra or accoustic background. I didn't get to re-up all of them yet but I got the first 3 ayumix re-uplaoded.

Ok I think I got the rest of them uploaded. Put up My Story Classical and AyuMix4 new links.

All 3 artists are fantastic! I haven't tested the links but I'll download this later~
Thank you in advance for sharing! <3

Just a heads up, but all the rapidshare links are down. Awesome upload, love classical remixes of songs and some of these are old favorites of mine from childhood. Good memories. Thank you!

Oh man! This soundtracks are brilliant! Thank you so much for the songs man!

P.S: Would it be possible to put the soundtracks up on a different site? Rapidshare doesn't seem to like me alot. :S

Any change of a re-upload for some of these albums? They look amazing to me. Especially 'Harmony ~ Jpop Meets Classics For a Slow Life'. Since we all know megaupload is taken down by the FBI, and the rapidshare links are dead :(

Oh yay! That was unexpected :) I've been looking for higher quality. Thanks!

Awesome stuff bk7530, thanks!

The real hassle is trying to find the 6 CD version. I found CD1 of it (Ayumi Hamasaki Melody), but the rest I have no evidence of its existence, besides a seller selling the 6 CDs on eBay for $100!

That's actually pretty cheap because the original price when it was released was about $150.

Very tempted to buy it, I guess I will make a decision soon. Lovely soundtracks!

Can someone upload these as a WinRar?

I don't know how to convert the format from above?

Just download 7zip to extract it. It is a free program.

Damn, the links aren't working anymore. Any possible chance of a reupload? I just recently found out about this and I can't find it anywhere.

yes, I'd love to have these reuploaded as well.. D:

Please re-up!
