Wolf's Rain has one of the best anime soundtracks of all time
Take that how you will
Jason Smith
Yep.
Joseph Garcia

No, she's the Yoko Kanno of music.

Horner wishes he'd been that talented. Kanno is a fucking treasure.
Jonathan Brown
She's composed some good stuff.
Recent years however.

Christian Long
Hans Zimmer maybe
Mason Rivera
Hard to pick one, but if I absolutely had to, either Strangers, Trip City or Yakitori
Kayden Martinez
That's a hard call, I have so many favorites. ZnT, Brain Powerd, Turn-A Gundam, Macross Plus, Wolf's Rain, Please Save My Earth, and Darker Than Black were all superb works.
Hunter Clark
ZNT ost was gorgeous.
Asher Rivera
Memories: Magnetic Rose still gives me chills
It's very hard to find outside of the film and was never sold digitally, but it's a tremendous score
The madam butterfly theme was awesome
Grayson Watson
the Zankyou no Terror soundtrack was fucking great, it's just a shame the writers shit the bed with that show.
Jack Gomez
does she have any album or music works besides animes which may have escaped my eyes?
need more of her work and voice.
Alexander Watson
RIP
Jace Sanders
You are a hero

>animes
Kill yourself.
Henry Rivera
She's cool but I wish she didn't break up The Beatles

John Long
This series looks soul crushing, is it worth
Levi Martinez
Not really, no.
But it does have incredibly good visuals, some episodes are really good like 4 and the ferris wheel one and the OST is god's gift to humanity, so it's up to you.
Lincoln Anderson
She doesn't put horns in everything or lazily reverse a main track to create a secondary track.
Charles Young
>or lazily reverse a main track to create a secondary track
what?
Benjamin Lee

> Not calling it Japanimation instead.
I'm with you brother.
Asher Stewart
Holy fuck this song
Downloading now

He reversed the MoS theme for Lex Luthor in BvS

Same OST. Believe me, it's worth hunting down the whole thing. The anime may have been the biggest disappointment of its year, but it's almost egregious to find fault in the OST.
Luis Wilson
Hiroyuki Sawano surpassed her because
1. He keeps getting hired
2. He doesn't stop making soundtracks, season after season
Dominic Collins
God Yoko Kanno is fucking mesmerizing
Even if the show is bad, I'll still trek through it.
Here are some of my favorite songs

this one in particular blows me away

Julian Morris
Only insecure fuccbois like Sawano.
Jaxon Roberts
user I like the guy, but comparing him to Yoko Kanno is heresy.
He hardly does anything new.
Jordan Rivera
>James Horner
Who?
Ryder Howard
underappreciated Kanno track coming through.
Charles James
It's kinda disappointing some of her best work is plagiarism
Josiah Rivera
The who?
Ian Hughes
>this stale bait
Hurr
Josiah Scott
More like all her work is plagiarism, as expected of a shitty composer overrated by normies that dont know better.
Noah Lewis
Samefagging doesn't make you any more right the second time, Sup Forums.
Jonathan Perez
you don't have to be Sup Forums to think that's bad, son
Julian Smith
Copy-cat Kanno will forever be tainted for stealing other peoples music for Escaflowne.
Grayson Allen
Still waiting on proof instead of mongs rehashing ancient pasta.
Gavin Fisher
then give us 10 examples of plagiarism, instead of samefagging.

Yuki Kajiura is better
Isaac Anderson
Even Jap's knows yokokanno.ojaru.jp
Caleb Rivera
Gravity is plagiarism of this youtube.com
Sebastian Martin
Overrated Sony Music trash just like Sawano
Matthew Campbell
The OST was the best thing about this anime desu.
Actually, I liked pretty much everything besides the actual story.
Lincoln Bailey
desu there are a lot of similar to nearly identical passages in Kanno's music to other - older - artists, but music is like that, isn't it? There's hardly anything new.
I mean, every single jpop song and so every anime OP has the same chord progression, it's really hard to find one that doesn't have it. (It's called Royal Road, or IV△7→V7→IIIm7→VIm for the musicianfags here)
Gabriel Gonzalez
>post almost entire ZnT ost
>no hanna

Wyatt Edwards
>Hiroyuki Sawano
"let's do the same thing countless times" the ost.
Grayson Wright
Yeh it' definitely a coincidence amirite :^)
Nolan Hernandez
What are you talking about? Most of Escaflowne's music was composed by her husband at the time, Hajime Mizoguchi.
Ethan Davis
Cowboy Bebop wouldn't be as popular if it weren't for her
Nathan Ramirez
youtube.com
A lot of her music is great: CB, GitS, ZnT to name a few. Personally I really like her but it's true what the other user is saying. Go to the website and watch the videos and be honest with yourself: there is no denying that a lot of her famous tracks are "heavily inspired".
Austin Howard
Sawano is terrible. You can tell it's his work right away from the first couple of notes. It's not his "style" either, he simply never tries anything new.
Yoko Kanno has suffered from that issue at times but Sawano outright embraces it. Sawano is all about reusing a single track over and over again. And that single track sounds atrocious, at least the track was good when Kanno slipped into sameness.
Isaac Rodriguez
>Yoko Kanno
She has made some good soundtracks.
My favorite composer is still Yuki Kajiura
Chase Cooper
Kanno did this?
Jaxson Walker
I prefer Gabriela Robin.
Leo Price
Who's the guy who did Star Wars? She's that guy as a cute Japanese girl.
Robert Torres
Didn't she do all of it? I though she composed everything in Bebop and it was mostly done by that one jazz band with a few other performers.
Andrew Wright

Not animu related, but she did pretty good ost in videogames like this one.
Too bad her stuff in the first version of Ragnarok II never saw the light of the day.
Angel Rogers
>never saw the light of the day
what happened?
Jackson Sanchez
First version called Ragnarok II: Gate of the World got cancelled. There were pretty good ost there.
Second version called RO2: Legend of the Cecond changed most of the game including the old music.
Christian Brooks
At least she ripped off the same composers James Horner did for her orchestral soundtracks.
Nope. He did maybe 1/4 of the tracks and almost all of it is slow string pieces, like everything else he's done.
Noah Lewis
Its funny how while I was listening to the Turn A Gundam OST I thought I had put on Verdi's Messa da Requiem, because one of the tracks sounded very close to it.
Kanno's music is good, no doubt, but she doesn't have her own style, it's always someone elses.
