"At this moment, My RapidShare Account will be running out...and I have no money. If your going to download something from me, do it as a free user (for all you Premium account owners: 1 DL is enough). It will keep my Uploads coming and my uploads afloat...until I find a job. Thanks for the Help." - JediNewtype (http://rapidshare.com/faq.html)

Sorry for the annoying repeat of this on my Signature.

darn, that's a shame. But we are all thankful and truly do appreciate all you've done for us in the forums. I liked Kanno's music a lot before hand, but never did I truly appreciate her works in other media. So I thank you for helping me to experience her various works.

Set up a paypal account and we can donate to keep it alive!
Or if you want, I can host them on my website... I would have to get the files on my side to do that though. I currently have maybe half of your collection in either CD or mp3s.

I agree with NaYa, you should set up a PayPal account. This collection is too worthy to get lost, I would be one of the first donators for sure!

To answer your responses:


From RapidShare.com - "you will get points for downloads of your files. You can then convert your collected points (Premium-Points) to...extend your own premium-account for free. You will get one point per download if the downloader is a free-user AND your file is bigger than 1 MB AND the downloader has generated less than 5 points in the last hour. These rules have been introduced to protect us from abuse."

-So basically you guys are helping me out by downloading more (as free users). 10,000 downloads equals another month of service. Thanks to you guys I have been able to do this once. (https://ssl.rapidshare.com/faq.html)

No need for a pay pal (https://www.paypal.com/) account or anything! + Please don't download if you don't want to because I know some of you have already DL'd what you need & "RapidShit" is unfair to free users in multiple DL situations. - Thanks for your support=)

Hi everybody,
Just to let you know that OST 1 for Macross Frontier has been leaked already and released as a torrent:

http://www.nyaatorrents.org/?page=torrentinfo&tid=21245

I'd upload it to somewhere but it's 215mb and my internet connection is going up the wall.

But it's there anyway. :)

Finally...

Thanks for adding the Macross Frontier ost. I am a little dissapointed with it and the lack of orchestral tracks.

Thanks for adding the Macross Frontier ost. I am a little dissapointed with it and the lack of orchestral tracks.

There is always OST 2 to wait for, lol

PS - Is it Vajura (fansubbers) or Bajura (OST track list)?

Vajura rhymes better for me :p

I second Sirusjr, I was waiting for the song that was on episode 8 at the panties chase scene. It played on episode 4 as well when Ranka went on stage, the song stuck on me since then and I was soo dissapointed that it didn't make it to the OST.

So I'm begging for another OST as well.

There is not in the slightest bit ANY doubt that there will be an OST 2, and probably an OST 3, at some stage. Particularly given that OST 1's first pressing was sold out three months before the release date. ;)

Kanno's Warsaw sessions usually record about an hour of orchestral music. There are ~20 minutes on OST 1, meaning we'll either get a very orchestra-heavy OST 2 with ~40mins, or we'll get OST 2 & 3 with the same amount again on each.

[Edit: Turn A Gundam had 1 hr 20 mins of orchestral music released. Escaflowne had 1 hr 13 mins. Brain Powerd had a round hour. Aquarion managed 50 mins, whilst Macross Plus managed only 30 mins. It seems about an hour is average. There will be more, lots more, to come - mark my words.]

Wow you sure have done your research. Anyway, I'm happy to hear that there will be more OST's coming, thanks for the heads-up.

Hey, thanks so much for uploading like a god.
I have a little problem though, i downloaded almost all of the Ghost in the Shell albums and not a single one will open. I open it with stuffit expander, enter the password, and it expands part way and then stops saying that the archive is damaged. Any advice? Ive never had this problem before. I already re-downloaded and reinstalled stuffit.... please help!

So, who is copying off of who anyways? Since you have the Origa and Scott Matthew stuff too, I'm going to assume someone else is taking credit for your uploads... but I've been wrong before.

It's weird because that thread seems to have been posted in April 2007, but looking further down the page there are posts made in October of THIS YEAR.

I may be wrong, but I have a feeling that part of that scene uses "Home Stay" from GitS:SAC OST1. I may be wrong, but after watching SSS and listening to the OST I realised that something I remembered in that scene wasn't there on the soundtrack, and listening to "Home Stay" seemed to ring a bell. As I say, not entirely certain, but I think that this might be the case.

Do you yet have "Ghost Catcher Mikami" or perhaps know where I can get it?

Hey Jedi, since I upped that MIND GAME O.S.T, is there any chance you could upload the Genius Party album to anything other than Rapidshare? For months now, RS thinks my IP is already downloading something, or I've reached my DL limit, so I can't download ANYTHING off there...

Oops. I guess it's "Ghost Sweeper Mikami." And it has a bunch of Ilaria Graziano music in it, according to animelyrics.com ... and that means I must have it! I really enjoy Ilaria's soft soprano and Yoko Kanno's awesome melodies ...

So does anyone know where I can get it? I would be very grateful. :)

I just downloaded the RAR file for Say Hello, but when I right click it and say "Extract here" like I do with all my downloaded music, it asks for some sort of password required for extraction.

It has 28 files in total and the first song has "overture" in the title and songs from 22 to 24 have "online" in the name.And one file has "warsav edition" in its name.Thats all.

Ever thought of finding Arai Akino or Haime Mizoguchi albums? And any word on Darker Than Black OST 2 out there?

Yeah a lot of my favourite tunes from Escaflowne were composed by Mizoguchi.. would be nice to see the same type of thread dedicated to him considering how close he is to Yoko Kanno in all of her compositions since they are husband and wife.

Actually they were recently divorced... from what I've read. This coming February will be 2 years of being divorced for them.

http://archcello.com/2008/03/573

"ところでひとつ告白してしまいますが、私も昨年2月に離婚が成立しています"

which according to http://www.monkey-pirate.com/ykdb/index.php?topic=714.30

translates to more or less:

"By the way, to put an end to the rumors, I also confess that I had a divorce finished February last year."

Divorced but they made such beautiful music together (sorry)

Hold on a sec, which melodies were composed by Mizoguchi? If I had to guess, Shadow of Doubt from OST 2 and nothing else. Everything seems to bear stylistic similarities to Aquarion, Brain Powerd, and Turn A Gundam and I can barely detect the efforts of a second voice in there (aside from the classical and film composers referenced throughout.)

Hitomi's Theme, A Far Cry, Eyes, Cubic, Farewell, Perfect World, Romance, perhaps more, that's just off the top of my head. And I know a number of tracks from the film are by Mizoguchi as well

I think you need to listen closer, because Kanno is the plagiarist of classical and film music, not Mizoguchi (as far as I know):

Farewell is ripped off of Poulenc's Double Piano Concerto:
http://jeremyrobson.com/poulenc.mp3

and the second part when the piano comes in is directly taken from Silvestri's score to Forrest Gump! And Kanno, as we all know, is a big Silvestri fan having used his music in Brain Powerd (The Abyss) and Macross Frontier (Van Helsing.)

Eyes is based on a famous Italian tune by Giuseppe Giordani called Caro mio ben http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-ndDEiDT-U that was also used in Brain Powerd (the track Ark, I believe.)

Listen to Cubic then listen to the beginning of Prism from Brain Powerd and tell me that's not the same composer.

Romance sounds a little too piano-oriented to not be written by Kanno, plus it does have that Western "Hollywood" sound we've already become accustomed to hearing from her.

A Far Cry is definitely Mizoguchi, I completely forgot about that piece (since it is largely forgettable.) There's your cello right there, with little to no orchestral ingenuity (on a 20th century orchestral level.)

Hitomi's Theme has some cello solos, but as I already said, it's based on a popular Italian song so it doesn't really matter who is claiming credit for it.

I'm certain a large majority of the Escaflowne soundtrack, and many of the tunes, are coming from Kanno and her vast music collection. To me it's a simple stylistic recognition.

Geez. *rolls eyes* I'm just going by what the freakishly detailed and comprehensive discograpy tells me, dude. And I gotta tell ya, I trust it a hell of a lot more that I do you.

http://dodue.free.fr/ykw/disco/discochrono.htm

Wow... Caro mio ben and Eyes sound so similar in that the first four notes go down by step in a major key with a simple melody...

I hate it when people read into things like this so much. I can look through loads of my piano books and find pieces which start similarly. In this case, we can say that they both plagiarised "Joy to the World" (thinking of a well-known piece off the top of my head which starts with descending notes in major key), by taking the first four notes of that but just playing it slowly?

It's the use of motifs which get people screaming "plagiarism". Music is theoretically unlimited, but there is a boundary for composers if they want to try something of a certain genre and just make it sound "nice".

You know what? Everything you said here is true, even the fact that the track Eyes isn't plagiarism. But that doesn't negate the other fact that there is a ton of quoting going on in Escaflowne, of both classical music and film scores. Some are innocent borrowings, others like the use of Poulenc's Double Piano concerto and Silvestri's Forrest Gump are not so innocent. There is barely a track in Escaflowne or any other of Kanno's scores that I can't deduce the source. The only other composer I can do that with is James Horner, who everyone generally agrees upon as a well-to-do plagiarist.

And as I mentioned earlier, Ark from Brain Powerd is also based on Caro mio ben, but this time containing a 12 note similarity to the melody, which is in fact plagiarism.

It'd be unwise to underestimate Kanno and just call it a similarity. She is a proven plagiarist with an extensive classical/soundtrack collection who does not credit her sources.

There's more to it than melody. The rhythmic motive and harmonic function are nearly identical. The Kanno version's harmony is richer though, and I prefer the string arrangement to a lied. However, I think it should be noted that the B section of Eyes doesn't seem to have any relation to the lied.

Ain't public domain a bitch? :)


Also, can't wait for Macross Frontier ost2.

Ain't public domain a bitch? :)

Except many of the film scores that have been plagiarized are not public domain, hence using them without permission is illegal. But I'm sure you will take solace in the fact that most plagiarism in the entertainment industry goes largely unnoticed, so it is up to the individual listener to judge.

Maybe that's what you meant when you so recklessly decided that plagiarism is a matter of opinion. But if you choose to pursue a higher education in academia, my only response to that is I hope you always cite your sources in your essays. Believe it or not, you'd get a 0 for taking the Kanno route. You might not care, but I gotta tell ya, I trust academia a hell of a lot more that I do you.

Too bad there's not one composer in academia today that can hold a candle to Kanno's work.

Well, that's really your opinion, right? I like listening to Kanno more than Penderecki, Rautavaara, Corigliano, etc. but I wouldn't say her work is more original than theirs. Listening to Kanno for me is like hearing more Prokofiev, more Ravel, and other classical/film composers I like. I don't listen to Kanno's music to hear Kanno's style, I listen to hear how she's incorporated other composers' conventions and techniques into her own music. But even though I find that aspect enjoyable, it's not going to stop me from condemning it, just like with James Horner.

streichorchester: You are really full of yourself, but that doesn't deny the fact that you're damn right.

Some other sources:

Enigma's Sadeness in Idol Talk: the bassline gives it away at once.
Flairck in Atomic Bird: I can't remember the exact song, but the chanting style is identical.
The Beatles in Scooters: Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, one of the songs from that album is the one (but I'm no Beatles expert, so don't quote me on it). The brass wind instrumental is obvious.
Vangelis in Karen: The intro is just too reminiscent of his work, especially Chariots of Fire.

There's a lot more, but I'm not really musically savvy. I know for a fact that Kanno-sama is quite the plagiarist; however, her more intimate pieces, to call them something, like Torukia, are the ones I like the best. I think those show what her unique, personal style is about.

Just my $0.02

when did this thread become the Yoko Kanno haters club?

Did someone say they hated Yoko Kanno?

Anyway... if anybody wants to listen to the Macross Frontier OST 2 a couple of days early, they can get it at Tokyo Toshokan.

http://tokyotosho.com/details.php?id=162449

Or just wait for the Nipponsei release when it officially comes out on wednesday.

never though ill ever listen to this rock all music man thanx!!!

Maybe that's what you meant when you so recklessly decided that plagiarism is a matter of opinion. But if you choose to pursue a higher education in academia, my only response to that is I hope you always cite your sources in your essays. Believe it or not, you'd get a 0 for taking the Kanno route. You might not care, but I gotta tell ya, I trust academia a hell of a lot more that I do you.

Before you go back into condescending old codger mode yet again, take solace in the fact that I'm attending Virginia Commonwealth University(VCU) studying literature and fiction writing, in my second year, and always make top scores in all my fields(business, philosophy, fiction and nonfiction, history of american literature, etc), including all my essays, so my only response to you is that I hope you go fuck yourself. :)

Now behold the power of the ignore user function.


(Also, thanks muchly for the Macross Frontier source, Petra. You're awesome.)

Thanks for the GitS

Nyan Tora is... almost perfect (Aimo O.C. being the defect)... but anyway... I think I'm gonna listen to it like 100 times this week~... one of my favorite OSTs by Kanno.

Um...As far as I know today Origa's "THE SONGWREATH" was released.
Does anybody know something about it?

Update:

- I will look for new Origa album and hopefully upload it soon

PS - YK haters, please go back to the Uematsu vs Yoko Kanno[poll] (Thread 47636) where you belong.

I've loved Kanno for years. I think if you transport yourself back to 1993 and listen to her soundtrack work compared to everything else coming out at the time you'll see her uniqueness. On a side note anybody have the music from Noiseman? I can't find it anywhere. That and her music in the original Tekkon Kinkreet demo. I've been searching for those for nearly a decade now.

You're going to upload the scans for Nyan Tora when they become available, right? ;___;

Jedi, does your upload of Nyan Tora contain the last version of Aimo? Or was it simply never included in it in the first place?

Thanks for the update, by the way. Your efforts are appreciated.

Yup, Track 17 - "Aimo O.C.".........Unless there is a even newer version I don't know of because I haven't finished watching MF.

Maybe Kharan means the Maaya Sakamoto version of Aimo. It's included at the very end of the medley track, but only lasts a few seconds :(

Oh yeah, a new SMAP album has a track on it called "Jazz" composed by Yoko Kanno, if you want to make your collection more complete :)

Thanks for the updates ive been looking for the new Origa as well, no luck yet though. I would have imported it but I didn't like her last few singles.

I've got a new one to share:
Brain Powerd ED single - Ai no Field (Yoko Kanno ft. Kokia)
http://rapidshare.com/files/56636798/Brain_Powerd_ED_single_-__Ai_no_Field___Yoko_Kanno_ft._Kokia_.rar

GET9 and Rise TV versions from GITS SAC OST+:
http://rapidshare.com/files/56639842/GITS_SAC_OST__bonus.rar

Can someone reupload GET9 and Rise TV versions from GITS SAC OST+, please?

I made a little discovery which then led to other discoveries, and I thought I might share them here.

Back in 2004, there was a live radio show presented by Maaya Sakamoto, in which she did some live performances. The show was called "Shounen Alice Unplugged" and was to promote her album at the time, so most of the songs are from the Shounen Alice album. There is also an acoustic version of Danielle and Tune the Rainbow - you can hear somebody count 1-2-3-4 at the beginning, which I'm sure is Yoko Kanno herself (or somebody who sounds just like Yoko Kanno and Gabriela Robin at the same time).

You can download the live tracks on this page. Just scroll down and click "download":

http://clos3th3world.blogspot.com/2007/12/maaya-sakamoto-shounen-alice-live.html

If you want to download the whole radio show (about an hour long), there is a lower quality version of it here. Look for "Live Studio Unplugged Shounen Alice":

http://www.asianload.com/forums/index.php?act=Print&client=printer&f=372&t=23047

And while I was looking at that page, I noticed "Unreleased Tracks", and I just HAD to find out what they were. It includes some old non-Yoko songs from games with synthesisers in the background - not exactly Maaya's best songs. Anyway, here's the list of what's in that file, and where they're from (as far as I can work out).

Ashita he no Tobira - theme song from Yuki: Little Lovers 2nd game
Primary Days - from Asu wa Koishite -Prime Beat Planet- game
Story - opening song from Mebius no tokei game
Yoake no Kaze Kikinagara - theme song from Omishi Magical Theater Risky Safety anime
Call Your Name (Short version) - Escaflowne Prologue CDs (similar to Call Your Name piano version on Escaflowne movie soundtrack, just edited kinda badly to be shorter as in you can hear where it's cut)
Yume Iro no Lolipop - character song from Medabots anime
Aqua - insert song from Missing Blue game
Love Mania! - ending song from El Hazard: the Alternative World anime
Taikutsu to Yuutsu - character song from Kita-he game
Gathering Rain - from the musical Letter ~ Bring to Light
Go For It! - character song from Mizuiro Jidai anime.
Dear You - from the musical Letter ~ Bring to Light
Yubiwa (acoustic version) - Escaflowne Prologue CDs
Tell Me What the Rain Knows - from Wolf's Rain OST 2
Wasurerarenai Mama - ending song from Mebius no tokei game
Cloud 9 - from Wolf's Rain OST 2
Teens - from Devicereign game
Remains - from the musical Letter ~ Bring to Light.

Hey I tried downloading the Ragnarok 3 Online album and my player tells me they have some extension ".ogg" and it cannot play them. What gives? How exactly do you make these files work?

Hey I tried downloading the Ragnarok 3 Online album and my player tells me they have some extension ".ogg" and it cannot play them. What gives? How exactly do you make these files work?

well you could try a conversion program and make them .mp3, though that would kill the quality...though if you're into lossless, I hear .flac is the best... but I'm not an expert on those things.

You could also try finding out if your player has the option of playing it with an add on/plug-in (or anything else they may be called concerning the program in question). To find out if such is available, check the manufacturer's website, these may not always be free... depending on the software.

for those plugins concerning winamp, check here: http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=155680

If your talkin' about a music player app, then what your using is crap! Ogg Vorbis is pretty much as standard as mp3 in all music players (i don't know about itunes though). I recommend winamp but there tons of other options out on the net.

If your talkin about an Ipod, it doesn't support ogg unless its hacked. If you don't have an ipod, Read what your mp3 player supports, it might have a Firmware update to support it.

Thank you for all of these-finally, I get to download all of the Cowboy Bebop soundtracks, something I've been meaning to do for ages! I got the Wolf's Rain unreleased one as well, it's a shame about the poor quality, I'd have loved a proper version of the female Heaven's Not Enough song. :)

Thanks again!

OK I got it working now! Thanks!

Thank u so much for the Steve Conte section - I've been looking for more of his music everywhere! ^_^ I really appreciate this - you've made my day.

Ever thought of finding Arai Akino or Haime Mizoguchi albums?
I second this. I figured if anywhere on the site had her music, it'd be this thread. ;_;

I have Sora no Mori, in case someone wants it.

Jawful, could you upload those? I like her style very much, but her music's scarce in the internet.

Aaah that would be lovely Kharan. I've been looking for Sora no Mori and Sora no Niwa everywhere! @_@

argg Scott's works make me feel sad but satisfied at the same time.

Hey guys; after we've collected all the tracks, albums and singles from dear Yoko, how bout' we make a rarfile of everything? It would be huge, yeah, but on the other hand we have it all in one.

It's like having a cake and eating it too. :-)

^

:)
sound nice but I think both Yoko and the singers will keep releasing their pieces
so its quite hard to do that unless we will do something like
rar files for release in year xxxx - xxyy
or maybe rar them all every Xmas.

hmm its size gonna be big like hell = w='' either way.

That's true, nemesis.
Rarfiles for releases in year sounds better in this case.

3) Yoko Kanno Database forum (http://www.monkey-pirate.com/ykdb/) (and you thought i had a collection, some of these guys actually own all the CDs!)

And secondly, since there are so many sections for Yoko-clan artists, I was wondering if a Mai Yamane section might ever pop up?

You should ask for a Rapidshare subscription for Christmas, Corey. :3

Thanks for uploading this stuff. I had no idea there was a single from the game. Awesome!

A question to any who might have an answer.
I'm pretty sure I've got all the Ghost In The Shell SAC soundtracks. However, the one track I've yet to find is the music from Tadako's party in the episode "Cash Eye." Most sources say that it is the track Icy Mice from the Get 9 single. Well, unless the American release of the episode has a different music mix than the Japanese version, this is not the right music.
So, does anyone know what the actual track is and where it could be found? Thanks in advance to anyone who makes the attempt,
JonC

So many Yoko Kanno's work i don't know where to start

Yes! Although, I don't know exactly why I am excited for another CM Yoko album. Yes, it's Yoko we're talking about, but I found the last one to be a hit-or-miss (granted, it's an album of music for commercials). Nevertheless, I shall download! Thanks again!

CM Yoko in MP3 format, anyone?

CM Yoko in MP3 format, anyone?

Try converting the M4A (AAC) to mp3 with dBpoweramp Music Converter (http://www.dbpoweramp.com/download.htm) or some other audio converter because the album is hard to find on the web.

Thanks!
I did it, now I can die a happy guy. :P

Is there an Oban Star Racers OST 2?

A little off-topic, but does anyone know of a good online radio showcasing YK & related music? Thanks in advance.

What an awesome collection, just wanted to give my humble appreciation.

will mirror Origa album in megaupload as long as i finish download...(2MBps without premium acc is nightmare XD)

Oh man!! u r awsome... thanks a lot!!!

Hello, thank you for uploading these ! I've run into a problem with one of the links: CM Yoko + 2 = Kanno Yoko. Clicking the link brings me to a page that says the link is broken. Can you assist? Thank you!

Thank you!

Seems like JediNewType isn't around... this topic's ancient, anyways :P

He's probably just busy with school, it happens. Anyways I have a link to Akino Arai's new album, Sora no Sphere, if anyone's interested :3

Excellent, Jawful and Jedi. This thread still contnues to impress.

Heh, I didn't do anything... Jedi beat me to posting the link this time.

I'm currently on the lookout for Akino's collab with Yayoi Yula (Goddess in the Morning), if I can find a good version of it I'll upload. ^_^

Ok I caved and bought the mp3s with Real American Dollars™, and now I'm sharing the wealth.

Akino Arai and Yayoi Yula - Goddess in the Morning
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=T0A69X6R

It's a megaupload file for now, not connected to any accounts if you want to just use this link Jedi or if you'd rather mirror it on Rapidshare that's cool too. Uhh...... 256kbps bitrate, .rar password is 'friend' as usual.



And here's some album art. A bit uninspiring but I didn't pay for liner notes so I don't care. Enjoy ya'll!

You really are addicted, eh? To go so far as to use Real Money™... Still, thanks a lot for sharing ^_^

Nah I don't mind spending money to buy Akino's REAL albums because I know that money goes to her and whatever, but I'm curious how much (if any) of the money used to purchase mp3s actually benefits artists. But I couldn't even find a 128kbps download, much less a hard copy, so I was out of options...

Worth every penny though, this album is sublime @_@

This is amazing.Thank you!

Well, your money was well spent too, I agree - this is the best I've heard from Akino yet!

Thats because it's multiple discs. 3 to be exact. I'm not going to bother because it is simply a compilation.

Wow, massive hearing capabilities you have... What is a "blip", then? I assume I'm not that gifted a listener, since I've never noticed.

I was looking for "NHK Special CHINA" for a long time.
She's working quite well to this work.
And "Nobunaga's Ambition - Sound History" is also good.
This contains a main theme of a series and an ending theme, so I'd like to suggest an orchestra thing to a favorite person.
Anyway, I'm happy today. Thank You very much!!!

I am curious about NHK special china. How would you describe it? Symphonic? Jazz/blues? Electric?

> Damn, I'm good.

Im just wondering, I was watching Ghost In The Shell 2nd gig and the episode where some AI hijacks the helicopters and they begin swirling around some tower. Well when they show the copters on a career, I heard like taiko drums and I couldn't find this track anywhere. I downloaded the unreleased scores that had background music from the series but I couldn't find it.

Unless I missed it somewhere, would anyone happen to know what it is and where I could find it?

A few months ago i made myself a music rundown of GITS SAC. I made the full 1st season and 'till episode 13 of 2nd Gig. That track is not in any official CD or the 2 unreleased music collections. The only music i didn't have at that time were the tracks from the Tachikoma USB drive from the Ultimate Collection (?). I got those tracks in these forums yesterday but haven't compared them to any of the missing songs on my notes yet. I intend to finish the list, eventually.
So basically, unless its one of those USB tracks, that music you're asking about has not been released (officially or unofficially).

Hi, jedinewtype.

I'm downloading from other source a torrent with various lossless discs from Yoko Kanno, but from there I'm searching only (by now) the Turn A Gundam and Macross Plus OSTs. The thing is that I'm interested in the scans of that albums, but in that torrent only I can download the booklets from a big pack, but I don't want to download it all, so, �Could you help me with the BK scans of the Turn A Gundam (excepting by the ones that you already uploaded) and Macross Plus discs?

Well, that's all by now. I'm hoping for a soon answer and thanks in advance.

See ya!

I really wish people would read the 1st post... Here's some great sites that have HQ scans: Y.O.K.I.A.

Note: you will have to download the individual jpegs.

I was going to say the same thing but you beat me by a minute.

When do we finally get the Macross Plus movie? Anybody knows?

Oh, sorry. I didn't put attention to that sources. Truly sorry. I was only seeing which ones had scans and which ones doesn't. Anyway, thanks by the information. I'm sure that it would be useful.

Hi there, Amazing thread jedinewtype!.

I just found out about the Yoko Kanno concert held on 7/7 this past week in Japan. If you haven't read about it, visit here:
http://gabrielarobin.com/2457/throwing-a-bone-to-us-less-fortunate#comments

At this link they have sample excerpts from the concert. There is a full bootleg recording of the concert online somewhere but I can't seem to track it down. If you read the following comments on this page some of the commentors elude to this.

I appreciate your work on this site. If you can check into this bootleg concert that would be appreciated. I will continue to search but you may have some connections I don't :)

FOUND IT.

YOKO KANNO SEATBELTS CONCERT JULY 7/2009 BOOTLEG RECORDING
Took me a while to find this but it's here.

Quality is so so, whether or not this will get a release we'll have to wait and see. Some members in the Yoko Kanno fanbase were limiting who could have access to this until someone posted the Megaupload link!

ENJOY!

Thanks for sharing!

Wow, thanks a lot Stingray! I hadn't even heard of this concert!

Sorry to interrupt, but I was wondering if anyone could give me an evaulation of Turn A Gundam. Specifically, I'm a fan of the music for Cowboy Beebop and Ghost In The Shell. What I was curious about was how the music for Turn A compares...Does it have a similar feel, is it completely different?

Thanks for any advice that is available,
JonC

Turn A is almost completely orchestral in nature.It's sound is quite different from the soulful, rocking jazz of Bebop and the futuristic soundscapes of SAC.

I still reccomend checking it out. It's all superb stuff.

Thank you, I shall keep that in mind.

yeah I think its unreleased, seems like alot of the basic background music has been unreleased. I know "Smooth In The Shell" contains some but not most of the background music.
