Well Question, I'll try to explain it for you.
Which of these do you think will make more money for Geneon Entertainment (who are the publishers of the music for Fate, and produced the anime)? Release hikari and... whatever the episode 24 ED is called on the Fate/stay night OST, as full (or hey, perhaps half) tracks and hope the inclusion will move more copies. Or.... Release the Fate/stay night OST in full confidence that 95% of the anime fans (probably higher) who intended to buy it will do so without caring that hikari and Alternate ED are not included. Release a Jyukai first album, with hikari, and a Saichi Tanaka first album, with the episode 24 ED, in the expectation that all of the fans who really wanted a copy of that song will then go forth and buy said album to get the song. I'm going to come down on the side of answer two. Quite frankly, they know they will ship thousands of copies of the OST regardless of the inclusion of the two special ED songs. And they also know that fans of the show, and of the music, can be counted on still wanting those special ED songs even when they aren't on the OST. Ergo, they can milk even more yen out of those fans by releasing the songs on albums - maybe even on special singles. Hell, after the two singers have released the singles, they'll then release their albums which include (in Jyukai's case, fill in Saichi Tanaka's yourself ^^) Anata ga Ita Mori, hikari, and say eight other tracks - this is to scoop up the people who wanted both ED songs but didn't want to buy the singles. Then? About four months later, will come the 'Tribute to Fate/stay night' special OST, which will include the 'Best Of' tracks from the animation OST, maybe a piece or two of music that might have been missed out from the animation OST (again, draw in more fans!), and the TV size versions of the special EDs - after all, they aren't available yet right? Welcome to capitalism. It's a fun place to be. Now, get back in line behind me, whilst I wait for my hikari single and my unnamed ED single and my Jyukai album and my Saichi Tanaka album and my Best Of Fate album. That's how I know it will happen, or at least some of it. Because there are people like me. ^_^ -Andiyar

Though the long lead time before the release of this OST may have had something to do with them not wanting to release 'spoilerish' music onto the market before it aired on television - depends on who was actually in control of the release dates. Also, if composition was ongoing during the entire show, then the music might not even have been finished back in April/May. True, this would be an odd way in which to do the show - but it depends, again, on who was in control of the music. If Kenji Kawai had a fair bit of creative control, or a fair amount of license in what he was composing, he might have used that license to take as long as he could to refine some tracks - for instance, La Sola, or Eiyuu Ou, being tracks used only towards the end of the show.
I personally wouldn't bet on a second OST, as there really isn't much missing from this first one; but as I said before, I can probably see a Best Of or a Remixes OST coming at some point. Sad thought it is, I kinda hope it does happen. :S -Andiyar

imo the second OP sucked @$$ it didnt fit the series in any way - the music was way of the target. Such an OP would be fitting for some series with larger focus on action , while F/SN is more about relationship and story/plot than action

I just "obtained" the OST 2 days ago.., and realy I have to say.., nothing else is playing on my winamp list
Clearly Fate/Stay Night delivered us a GREAT soundtrack.., apart from the OP's and ED.., the music given to us in each scene through the anime is just outstanding to say the least.. From the UBW music Emiya Kenji Kawai remix, to even the Fuyuki Enkei to the la Sola.., each time each plays its like the feelings we saw portraied in the Anime when the music played pop into our heads.., clearly the musics are that good they are able to do such. Or at least to me I am very happy for it finaly having been released.., this is indeed a Must-have for anyone who loved Fate/Stay.., and not only those |
