OH MY GOD. BEST NEWS FOR TODAY. :]] This makes me so happy!!! Especially cause now I want that insert song in Episode 22.
I am glad your day is a little brighter now
Yup, that OST should have some nice songs
The art seems a bit weird. Sheryl looks like… plastic? And Ranka’s looking more like a vajra than the moe girl we’re used to see.
Anyway, this OST will be as good as the first one (Which I loved)
I think the art is quite appropriate for the last half of the Frontier. Sheryl is dead, and what you see on the cover is her Madame Tussaud’s version. Ranka IS Vajra, casting Spirit Bomb. Alto is thinking how the hell he got into this mess in the first place
Poor Hime…
I want it now! But I’ll be a good girl and wait, mainly because I really don’t have any other choice!
LOL!
Yup, it will have good timing coming out a couple of weeks after the end of Macross Frontier – just enough time to recuperate after the last episode
Good girl? No, I say we infiltrate Yoko Kanno’s headquarters and retrieve the precious item!!!
Hmm I’m for that plan, sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty, it keeps things fun!
Yup, that is the way to do it
I updated the post with the track list
Some interesting titles include Dog-ears Ranka and Shadow of Michael.
Samples can be found on JVC’s homepage. Happy that both my most wanted BGM’s will be on this one but they better release a third OST. Two just aint enough for all of it.
Unfortunately, the samples are not available anymore
Oh, may I ask, what are your favorite BGMs, VF-25 Messiah?
Yes, I agree that the more Macross Frontier music the better
Track 4 HighSchoolLife and track 5 Transformation are the BGM tracks I’m anticipating the most. The first one ought to be familiar to everyone as the “next episode preview music”. Transformation, first used in episode in episode 14, starts out kinda dark and menacing then gets epic. Another track I’d like is the highstring piece we get everytime there’s drama. No idea if it’s on here or not.
Pretty happy with the vocal tracks, but I can count at least 3 songs that have been used as ED themes that aren’t on here. And we need to have a full version of Sakamoto singing Aimo.
Ah, those are nice songs, VF-25 Messiah
Yes, HighSchoolLife in interesting, I wonder how the long version would look like. It sounds like some other Yoko Kanno’s instrumental tracks from Cowboy Bebop.
I couldn’t recall Transformation, so I had to skim through episode 14. This music is indeed epic
I absolutely agree that we need a full version of Aimo by Maaya Sakamoto (Ranka’s mother). Her performance of this song is much better than Megumi Nakajima’s, perhaps, in part due to the fact that she is nine years older and has a more nurturing voice that is appropriate for this song.
Just realized Lion isn’t on here, being part of the medley aside. So that more or less seals the deal that we’re going to get a third OST as well somewhere down the line
Well, Lion is available as a single though. However, they should include it in a third OST – it is one of my favorite songs
And triangular, don’t be late and diamond crevasse on the first OST all also had singles first. As did Seikan Hikou that’s coming on the second. So there being a single first doesn’t provide much of an obstacle, especially for a song that made it onto the oricon charts for a while.
Yup, it is not an obstacle at all
Cowboy Bebop had about five albums.
Like suspected, the name of track 19 was just too fricken long so it got cut off after the “pi” in “pilot” on the JVC site. Other songs that are included in the medley are What bout my star, seikan hikou, diamond crevasse, do you remember love as well as another version of Aimo sung by Sakamoto. Still hoping we’ll get her other version from ep 14 somewhere too.
Oh, thank you for pointing that out, VF-25 Messiah
Medley is nice, but I do hope to see Sakamoto’s full version
It’s been leaked. Check tokyotosho ^^ Deculture~
The high string piece I wanted turned out to be the very first track. But It’s the vocals that really shine on this one.
Thank you very much for mentioning this, VF-25 Messiah
I really liked all the songs
One track that featured piano and dolphins talking was quite surprizing though – I can’t recall it from the anime. Shadow of Michael was a touching piece… Still no full Sakamoto Aimo
