Hey everyone, Since there is not any good news site about Yoko Kanno since the last post of gabrielarobin.com, I created a new site! http://worldwide-yk.com/ I already wrote articles about everything that happened since January 2013 (it was a pain in the ass haha). Please add it to your bookmarks! ;...

Thanks a lot Jérôme!

Actually the doc was more interesting I thought it would be haha.

Good stuff. Did you play the instruments yourself? How long did you work on this project? Thanks a lot! All the instruments are virtual, I used Pro Tools included XPand!2 virtual instruments and the very good Pianoteq instruments. I played all the instruments myself through my master keyboard, but ...

Hey, I wrote the soundtrack of a short documentary about mountaineering and heart transplantation: http://vimeo.com/hanitra/6000m There are native English subtitles (click on the "CC" button). I've always written music for myself, this is the first time I do that for a real project, and that was an ...

I think it was very "inspired" by "katakana-ed" french and english ^^

I feel exactly the same.

Great job! It's really great to hear your point of views and all the interviews and facts you're digging up are extremely interesting! Shounen Alice is my favorite album, mainly for the quality of Maaya's voice and recording performance, Yoko Kanno's music, the high quality mastering and the diversi...

Me too.

I don't like Saved, I think the singing melody doesn't fit Maaya's voice...

Here's a quick recap:

It's in Japanese but with good pictures!

It seems she performed Eternal Return, Ask, Be Mine and Hikari Are.

Long hair!!! She looks different, not only the hair, and I like it!

And her legs in the Be Mine clip are gorgeous (someone had to say that!)!

I just saw I missed the fact Cloud 9 and Scrap are in the limited edition! That's GREAT!

This is a really nice project!!! Nice work guys ^^ Thanks! We're glad to hear that, Sorry for the duration, We didn't know how long it was until we finish editing xD Volume 02 will be shorter for sure. It will be an album special. It's great, and it's really interesting to hear what you think about...

Haha it sounds like French but beautiful gibberish :-DD What a beautiful song *_* After a few more listenings, the song seems really chaotic to me, so I'm waiting for the full version. There are some good parts, but the refrain feels too much heroic and not that beautiful, I hope it will be differe...

Thanks Countdown65 because you made me realize I really like this song! I've added it on my phone and I've been listening to it a lot the past few days!

The song went live today, you can hear it here . It's a nice enough song (seems to be in French?) but it's not really long enough to say anything else about IMO. Could be a Kanno track, though - there are a lot of strings in the orchestration which is a very Kanno thing to do. Haha, it really seems...

Woa, that's big, MH is the second best sold game in Japan after Pokemon! Here's the video interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBbRPis_xSg So I wonder in which language was Vado then, I know that Vento is in Esperanto but I would have been sure she already sang some gibberish songs with Yoko ...
