Quick! What's your favourite Yoko Kanno music!...

[seba_boi]

So what's your favourite composition(s) from everybody's favourite anime/videogame/movie composer?... As a rabid fanboy of hers, I'm quite curious to know... Post away!... :yayca:

[Thunder Doom]

Is he that guy who did that Sukiyaki song in the 1960's?

Oh, man... I hope you're kidding!... (Sukiyaki is a catchy song though)

Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts with ELM and go go cactus man.

Both from cowboy bebop.

[seba_boi]

^Excellent!... I love "ELM" too... "Go, Go Cactus Man" is also catchy!...

[GunTrouver]

Yeah Yoko Kanno is a genius, all the cowboy bebop stuff is just excellent! I love it, the Openingtrack (Tank) is great. The CB Soundtrack is one of the bests:)

[Tetsuo]

um does all of her stuff count?

I am particular to the macross plus soundtracks. In particular "cream pie"
most eerie hypnotic music ever.


She has to be one of the most talented women alive today.

[K-17]

her and Gabriela Robin

[Helium Macaroni]

I've been listening to the GITS: SAC 2nd Gig theme ("Rise") for like... a billion months now.. straight.

[Tetsuo]

btw here is a nice site with quick samples of a lot of her music :o

Which OSTs do you guys own?...

OH, and which song is "Cream Pie" in Macross Plus?!... I have all the OSTs, but I don't recall seeing or hearing this song...

[Onir]

oooh man yoko kanno is amazing; must say it'd probably come down to clutch or that sax quartet, both from bebop. Didn't realize she worked on GITS either, very cool, love that entrance theme.

[Aerythes]

I like the dramatic pieces from Brain Powered the most (even though I don't really like the series itself). Escaflowne also has some really good music.

[Dizon]

Her works with Maaya Sakamoto, especially the "Wolf's Rain" ending credits song.

[seba_boi]

ONIR: Yep!... "Sax Quartet" is also a favourite Cowboy Bebop track of mine!... The fact it's only in the collector's CD makes it more rare...

AERYTHES: http://conceptart.org/forums/images/ca_icons/thumbsup.gif "Ark" from Brain Powerd is one of her most underrated piece... I also happen to like her song for Maaya Sakamoto "Light Of Love"...

PATDZON: I'm sounding like a raving fanboy, but I also happen to love "Gravity" (and "Cloud 9" both sung by Maaya Sakamoto) from Wolf's Rain...

[dfacto]

Vision of Escaflowne, Chain, Black Escaflowne, First Vision. All from either the series or the movie.

Inner Universe from GITS: SAC

Spokey Dokey from the Cowboy Bebop OST. It's just got that super cool lazy bumming around thinking about your boring life feel to it. :D

Pulse, Information High, Breakout, Fly up in the air/Tension, Dogfight, Myung's Theme. All from the Macross Plus OST.


Oh yeah, but she has the cutesy annoying song type that she throws into every soundtrack of hers. It annoys the living fuck out of me!

http://conceptart.org/forums/images/ca_icons/thumbsup.gif I love the Alternate Take for "Spokey Dokey" as well...
Pulse, Information High, Breakout, Fly up in the air/Tension, Dogfight, Myung's Theme. All from the Macross Plus OST.
This is the first time I heard her music, so Macross Plus is very dear to me... *wipes tear* :P (although "Information High" is not composed by her--Great, catchy song though)

[dfacto]

Cat's Delicacy from Escaflowne, Wo Qui Non Coin from Cowboy Bebop, and What'cha Gonna Do from the Escaflowne movie.

[Red_Rook]

space lion, love that song ^___^

stuff like tank! and clutch are very cool Goodnight julia is pretty good and songs like diggin' and Flying teapot are kinda cute/funny :) yoko kanno is a genius agreed, i dun have much so i wouldnt know what all the cool songs are, i need more...

oh and i think she did the macross plus stuff too not sure though, but voices (the many diffrent versions) very cool and apple trance

[seba_boi]

DFACTO: "Cat's Delicacy" and "What'cha Gonna Do?" maybe... But "Wo Qui Non Coin"?!... I like that song... Maybe you should listen to it again!!!... :P


RED_ROOK: Yeah, I definitely love the jazzy tracks of CB... "Too Good, Too Bad" and "What Planet Is This?" are my faves... And I prefer "Goodnight Julia" over "Space Lion"... "Space Lion" is too airy...

[Tetsuo]

sorry it was the Cream Puf album...and the song is "The Borderline"

I have Escaflowne 1-3, Escaflowne for lovers only, Macross Plus 1-2 & Cream Puf, Ghost in the shell SAC 1.

I think that is all.

[Seer]

I thought Origa made Inner Universe...? Or maybe just the vocals..

[FalconInverse]

I can loop Space Lion or Blue for hours.

[corky13]

I love Inner Universe ... its touching mood always gives me goosebumps :) Did she make stuff similar to that ? I wasn`t too fond of her other stuff i found =/
