4 ● The concept of each title
- I have been released long-awaited soundtrack.
Shimomura Youko (hereinafter Shimomura) and have a lot of inquiries from the views of the user's, I also "put out" I thought, I just could not do anything ... power. From Square Enix's "will be put out" of the story that you were happy surprise for me.
- Ask the concept of the song titles. First, please let us know [they] BbS.
Shimomura's most historical narrative series, the hero also had no Sora, I was a story that put a lot of new songs. The music is dark ... I'm in general (laughs). Department's (Mr. Nomura Tetsuya ※. [KH] series director) and it may be sad love songs, but I get the impression that the scenario has a tragic side.
- It is also sad melody of each hero's theme.
Terra and Aqua Shimomura, see II Final Mix] song is based on the Shikurettomubi. Shikurettomubi songs they make, see what it leads to the BbS] I did not know, the theme song of the sad phrase Aqua, Terra phrase after a strong theme of the series I thought that the relationship represented. Ven is a song I had written a completely different beginning, at the request of the Department's "Please to Sora and Roxas theme plus" and. Finally, the melody was Roxas, and then the song is a melody like Sora imperceptibly, so that I can hear the song yet, I had a big (laughs).
- [BbS] The strings remained strong impression than his previous series.
Shimomura [KH] The series has fared much built-in sound (the sound made within the scope of the game with a performance that sounded ※ BGM), Playstation 2 Re: Chain of Memories is the only stream] (※ BGM prerecorded music as it flows. not much affected by the performance of the game, rich tone can be reproduced), it was. But [Re: Chain of Memories remake] was made, but mostly because it was also a remake of a song title of the new streaming specification [BbS] I'll be a first. "PSP (PlayStation Portable) to stream if you want" to ask, and I have been able to actually, I was wondering if 録Ritai the sound of live music too. Select the tone of the violin as raw shine So I'm trying to use what had been recorded actually played. The violin playing is impressive, perhaps because people are so many people "are a lot of violin music with" I was told.
- All right. By the way, is [KH] Dearly Beloved [that] has been used in all the works, it's not a lot in every arrangement?
Shimomura, every change that has started to say was that from him, I have become very gradually. [KH X (10)] in trouble I went through much (laughs).
- Dearly Beloved [BbS Guide] [The arrangements like?
Shimomura [KHII] of [Dearly Beloved, by comparison, [KH] I remember getting a melody quoted a phrase used in the ending of the first work flows in the film series since [Dearly Beloved] were using the melody as well It is tan. But the story [because] BbS earlier than first work, the melody is to avoid it. However, since nothing and miss, but I put a melody to another. ... While he said, in ending flow [Dearly Beloved, by comparison, but I'm using [KHII] melody was later used (laughs).
- [BbS Guide provides Ishimoto's has also composed and Sekido's. Isolate the charge will go like?
Likely to go with songs that I write Shimomura (laughs). Songs such as mini-games and boss, I had written many songs, "Oh, come this way," and there are songs that I think of. There is change, and I thought very good.
- To extend the range of songs inspired by what it is there?
Shimomura I have not had time] [BbS in listening to music made after the duo did not. Vanitas song, but when [Enter the Darkness] is heard, "Oh, these songs are [KH] It's a world of" I thought. So, we might be affected in the future.
- BbS] [made in the song, was particularly hard time available?
Shimomura I wonder if all the trouble ... (laughs). Was hard, especially Stitch featuring "Deep Space" It is the world. Hawaiian Lilo & Stitch [] I have to say is, this stage of the universe. "Is the Universe? A Hawaii? Which one?" And got confused (laughs). Satoshi's first order from a "spacey atmosphere" and there, and Hawaiian-style songs really fit the screen, so at first I wrote the song space-conscious. However, that appeared in [KHII] "Paranoid Space" (movie [Tron] ※ World) It would be similar to, the Department's "I want to feel more Sutitchirashii" is said to be gone. So the thought, "Supeshihawaian" that genres do not know myself. Hear this, I'd be angry and I think the concept of an alien people in Hawaii (laughs). But I finished the song interesting, I like that fine. Musically, at all, "Hawaiian" is I'd have to find that what was intended Iketa, and more.
---- After the song was submitted to staff development, "says Hawaiian spacey" impression that for? (Laughs)
Shimomura said it is not, that it came out okay, in the Department's "Supeshihawaian" might be similar to (laughs). Oh, and later, this time the enemy "Anvasu", so that was something new, "I want to change the tune so far," that I had ordered. So is writing songs before I saw, and became a master wheel spinning wheel motif, was fighting the battle with the master controlling the instrument symphony. To see their boss battles, "but the story is sad and serious, I wish the boss cute" under the impression that. Then I thought of the song, but cool comic. I said, "Komikakkoii" I'd call that (laughs).
- To do so, but I was born and we have an original song. Following [358 / 2 Days] I hear about. Here is a sound like the Nintendo DS's built.
This synthesizer operator Shimomura (Shimomura composer who ※, the song arrangements, working arrangements continue to take advantage of built-in sound like the original song), you really gave your best Noda. It will be gone too reckless, and finally I had to apologize from me. "I'm sorry. But reckless swing Satoshi's Hayo Kono said," (laughs). But, really it amazing that the Department's order. War songs of Zion [the] Vector to the Heavens to the "Piano Concerto in earnest," I've hear me out. "It is the Nintendo DS's built-in sound? Do not make it?" I have returned and I, "I want to do it" and .... So I make up my luck you Noda. But to pay a visit to great response from the user's thanks a lot, I was happy.
- [358 / 2 Days], see BbS] felt like a lot more sad songs.
Shimomura BbS heavier story, here is a really sad ending to the story than that. At least, just to save the music, I thought .... I mentioned earlier that] [Vector to the Heavens, that "music alone for salvation," is put in the song I thought that you put the title phrase of the song with great hope at the end. Zion became the basis of race track is made for a theme of Sion Musique pour la tristesse de Xion] [a song called this "the sorrow of Zion Tribute to Music" I mean that. At first I wondered what to the English title, in straight English, it is "Sadness" becomes. With it, They're "not feeling" that the setting, since they represent a direct emotional thing, and I deserve so much. [KH] originally in Italian, so sometimes with the other songs, then this time we decided to in French, a title in French.
- I'm French. [358 / 2 Days], the [KHII] Maybe I felt kind of sad songs to make it fit like a Twilight?
Twilight songs and Shimomura, there was a steady image of Ge in the painful transience. "My summer vacation, I was over," There was a famous speech, the impression I. [358 / 2 Days] because Roxas is the main character was an underlying sense of place music.
- One [Re: Coded Guide provides Garatsu with the melody changed, it got brighter.
Shimomura, "chiptune (music made with instruments such as dating game 1980 ※) Ppoku" In order that the song I got, this is so 作Remashita loves it. I said, "and Totsutotsu song" I call it, the impression that the sound bounces off, [KH] close to the tune of the song Gumishippu. Chiptune order that was found, but it sounds interesting even as it is just like the NES, NES dumping based on a song and went looking for a ride that would fit the sound.
- More than a series of work, but I was less trouble.
Shimomura, "do" than to worry about, "I think sound is more interesting done this?" I went and made Arekore twist while, I really did not have much difficulty. Staff development "[Re: Coded] the new songs added it is less" is said, "It might be more to say so ..." but I thought, you can surprise less (really lol.) But, instead, "[Final Mix] BbS (the BbS FM []) is Good luck" and said Remashi. [Re: your comfort and coded], [] when saying BbS FM Shindo of the gap ... (laughs).
- In the final mix BbS [concept] Please tell us.
I got a clear concept called the music world of darkness and Shimomura boss, dark, heavy songs just keep writing, and how to say how much I become dark (laughs).
- [Master, Tell Me the Truth] comes with a jerk just by reading the title.
I know it makes sense in the song Cha Shimomura. So, to change to a different title, of the way] [Truth of This Way Nde I was promoted to the title had changed. But they stuck in my mind ever since, last-minute "Song back after all!" And asked for.
- [] Forze dell'Oscurita song is called I'm Italian?
Shimomura, "[KH] first work songs and anthems, the song I want to put the phrase" and the song is ordered to pretend like the song crazy Ventus (laughs). The song in Italian, is a mixed one song was in English, Italian to fit into it. The mixed song, you'll find people to take if you listen to the fans.
- By the way, when you write a song in the world of darkness, what I feel like it's a dark Shimomura? To fit the melody, so that will be there with my feelings?
Might also change the mood to write their own songs Shimomura, I dragged myself sometimes called the song While writing songs. So, with that sad song just to concentrate on writing, but it is down and I'm gone and my natural Modo yo. But "it is drawn into the song, write a sad song maybe more," and I think positive. But the state has been writing dark songs, and I'm suddenly feeling I usually irreversible. So even gotten lazy when it comes to cooking a meal have to do, "at almost all the rice and ..., but ..., Uu Well ..., I go to the barbecue right!" That is often (laughs). Turn forced to feel the mood change?
- It is very or rather, I mean fun (laughs).
Shimomura Well, living in a stimulating, fun and I say no, how tough (laughs). But even Shindoku, BbS] [Add song because it is, the way of you to expect "good old songs better," I wanted to not disappoint this. [But] Ganbarimashita BbS eyes filled, we will make it more luck.
- When I saw the soundtrack liner notes, "but I feel tired. It is completely masochist" is written on that (laughs).
Shimomura first "de-M" What I wrote is, I think it would be bad indeed written (laughs). But I thought that I removed, it was still listed in tea (laughs). But I really tough, I think because I think the joy of doing raised after write.
- Finally, thank you message to fans.
Shimomura, many people, "Do you have any soundtrack?" I had views of a voice that is nice to finally be delivered. [KH] because in recent years is the culmination of the music piece of your mind ... no one Well, because the three disc set, three pieces please!
