Well, ya better do it quick, there's not much time left, and the longer you wait, the more your shipping charges are going to be to get it to you faster! haha

^wow old posts. :heh:

Hmmm, the OP and ED songs plus the soundtracks used in the anime just as same as before (with some few editings). Hmmm~ brings back memories. Somehow, I browsed back my mp3 folder to find back all those songs. :heh:

Just so you know, the whole musical score from the original Toei version by Hiroyuki Kouzu is just a different version of the original games soundtrack which is being used in the 2006 anime. The whole part of the Toei's music part that was new was the OP & ED.

Means they recompose those musics back? But it does sound similar.

Did you understand what i said at all?

First you had the OST for the game, then Toei's version came along which was just the same but by a different composer, and now Kyoani's version is using the score from the game.

As I mentioned before, I may be the only one, but I really don't think the choice to use the games OST was good. I mean I've never played the game or watched the earlier series so there's no nostalgia for me. But as a decision for the overall quality of the show, the music from the game is too loopy, somewhat generic also. Having original music would have benefitted this anime..

Well, it's the music of a visual novel, and it's being clear about that, too, most people who have played visual novels can tell. While I agree that writing a whole different soundtrack might have complimented the series better, the target audience is first and foremost (as it happens with most eroge conversions, unfortunately) those who have already played the game, and they may feel nostalgic about the music. As long as they don't destroy the game in the conversion, like they have done with various other conversions, I'll be happy even with the original music, it's good anyway, although it makes its origin too apparent :p

The originally musical score's for Key's games are some of the best if you ask me. Just look at Air, they used the same game soundtrack for the anime last year, & the right feelings from the game where all there. Same goes for Kanon if you ask me - it needed the game's music for it to be 100% perfect.

Some interesting fact you might want to take note :-

The theme song (Last Regrets) and most of the musics in Kanon are written and composed by Jyun Maeda, the very same person who had written up Kanon, all at the age of 23. (Assuming that he thought up the idea somewhere in 1998)

Yeah, i remember reading that up. Even more reason why they should be placed into the new series.

The opening sounds nice!

Just listened to the full version of the ED, and I have to say I love it. Especially the last part, which had that rap part of it heard during the prelude.

I thought I would share with you some remixes I have done. I was pretty excited about the remake so it took me a few months to complete these pieces. There are up for grabs, I don't have an hosting site but I think Myspace could probably work. Tell me what you guys think.
