Clannad - Music discussion (OP/ED & OST, etc.)

[Klashikari]

Actually, there are 4 versions of Mag mell (or maybe more?)

メグメル (original, game version)
メグメル ~ cockool mix (remix for the game)
メグメル ～frequency⇒e Ver.～ (movie version)
メグメル ~ cockool mix 2007 (anime version)

in fact, i think the version used for the preview is the original one without lyrics.

for your question, you talk about Mag Mell? If so, yeah, it is the same singer and composer: Riya (voice) and Eufonius (composer)

oh its spelled out Meg mell?
And theres four versions...thats a lot. And even the movie gets its own version of the song also.
Yea, as for my question, I was referring to the song "Megumeru"...but I didn't know it was spelled "Mag Mell"...well I learned something new.
thanks for the info!

[Klashikari]

Well, it is indeed written as "megumeru" in katakana. In fact, the "official" romaji is a reference to the irish mythology, a bit similar to Vahalla, heaven, etc. Here is the wikipedia article.

I guess, it might be less confusing if either of the 2 is used by everyone, but meh

oh thats cool, but judging from the Wikipedia article on Mag Mell, it seems that the description of the mythology actually fits in with the theme of Clannad, and that is a parallel world where wishes come true...well thats how Nagisa said in episode 2. Other than the other theme of Clannad, which is family, the ending is a nice way of displaying that theme. Plus in this mythology thing, the article also says its a place where death and sickness is never present.
Are the lyrics of Mag mell kind of describing this mythology?...or is the song just named to depict the image of the mythology for Clannad's world in Nagisa's eyes?

riya only sings the original version. eufonius sings the anime version and movie versions. I'm unsure about who sings the remix.

Riya sings them all. Riya is the vocalist of eufonius. cockool is another member. I believe frequency⇒e is also another member of eufonius.

[Klashikari]

^ that's what i was thinking because the singer was most likely the same (or twin? because except some intonations, the song is completely the same, and only the music is different )

[iamandragon]

Does anyone know what does Meg Mell means?

[Klashikari]

If we consider the wikipedia article i linked earlier, it should mean "plain of joy"

Ah, thanks. It's just that the lyrics for the different songs credit differently.

<3 the op theme so much x.x One of the first rips I encoded this season.

TAMUSIC (a doujin group specializing in Touhou and, to a lesser extent, Key music) is releasing a collection of 85 piano scores from Kanon, Air, Clannad, Planetarian and Tomoyo After. The cost is 4,500 yen and the profit will goto various charity organizations.

Unless you are living in Japan, you have to go through some proxy service to purchase it since they are not accepting foreign orders currently (due to some paypal problems?),

[Shiroth]

.......

It's times like this that i hate the fact that i live so far away. I'm gonna have to see my contacts.

[Arieaesu]

I just need to say this to correct some things...

Riya is the vocalist of eufonius.

frequency=>e is the name of eufonius' official website and they have an "online radio" (which is a recorded session of Kikuchi and Riya doing a "radio show", so therefore it's not a broadcast and is downloadable)

Kikuchi does all the arrangements and some of the compositions, whilst Riya is the vocalist and also the composer for eufonius' songs.

Riya was part of refio (a "group" made up of Myu and Riya) whilst also doing some solo works for some of Key's visual novels.

refio split sometime during the end of 2004 and the beginning of 2005 and then Riya formed eufonius with Kikuchi.

Myu (the other member of refio) formed kukui, which is made up of Myu herself and Haruka Shimotsuki (vocalist for all of the atelier series opening songs).

Riya and Shimotsuki once did a duet for a visual novel by the name of Akaiito (song's called "Mawaru Sekai De"). So we can pretty much assume that Riya and Shimotsuki are fairly well acquainted.

Went a bit off topic there but it's just some info.

[boggart]

Oooh... thanks for clearing all that up Arieaesu! I was figuring some of the info I had was a bit off.

[Shadowfox79]

just got the OST, I find the Opening alright, i mean its good, but I like Key's other openings better, like Kanon or Air. But I really love the piano and slow pieces, always gives a good feeling of tranquility, great for studying before a test. Its on my playlist right now

Anyone have any idea how I can get my hands on one of these?

[lotus7]

does anyone have any idea where i'd get my hands on the score for the dango song in the ED? i've been picking away at it for an hour or two on the piano but i cant seem to land the right notes. i'm particularly interested in getting my hands on the melody so i can turn it into a ringtone or something.

You can purchase the item through a proxy service provider (middleman). Some suggestions are :
Akibabo
Shopping Mall Japan
CELGA

Please note that the handling charge will not be cheap (expect around 80% markup).

I can only find the score for 小さな手のひら (Game's ED. Dango Daikazoku is actually a variation of it.)

Hope it helps.
