Yoko Kanno

Noseybonk · Apr 19, 2006, 23:56

What do people know of this artist? I have three albums from the Ghost in the Shell S.A.C. The one from the first Gig and Second Gig and the Spin-off one Only Human

Coshh · Apr 20, 2006, 00:16

I have never heard her music! Must investigate...

Hyde_is_my_anti-drug · Apr 20, 2006, 03:07

OMG!!! I love her! I bought the Escaflowne Box Set just because she did the music (but it is a fantastic anime on its own don't get me wrong)! I love her, love her, love her!

Info: Yoko-san is a talented Pianist and composer (and gorgeous too) and has composed the music for many extremely popular anime. Yeah, I don't actually have too much info on her, I just love her music.

Yokan · Apr 20, 2006, 03:11

I like her, tho she isn't fantastic.
But she has released loads of stuff though.
But Guess I have to research more also.
^_^

MeAndroo · Apr 20, 2006, 03:14

I think perhaps her most famous work in anime is for Cowboy Bebop. She was able to delve into various musical styles for that anime, and I found her production work on the OSTs to be pretty good.

RockLee · Apr 20, 2006, 06:13

I admire Yoko Kanno, she's very diverse in her work and has made a lot of good music

**Ma Cherie** · Apr 20, 2006, 07:23

I know Yoko Kanno and I like her work. She does a good job with her music.

budd · Apr 20, 2006, 07:34

i have those cds also and old gits soundtrack double
it is nice, but yuji ohno is just more me -- stuff is just so cerebral and pimp
if only $15 in my pocket i buy him first

dreamer · Apr 20, 2006, 16:31

Yoko Kanno's one of my favourite artist along with Yuki Kajiura
if you like her work, you'll most probaly appreciate "song to fly"

Noseybonk · Apr 21, 2006, 01:29

I take it by your replies (thank-you BTW

that she works mainly with soundtracks. Must find more of her stuff *going on hunt on amazon and ebay*

elanor · Apr 21, 2006, 12:48

She really drew my attention with the amazing soundtrack she composed for Cowboy Bebop and since then has only earned more respect after listening to her other stuff.

Does anyone have good pictures of her?

Lestat197 · Apr 21, 2006, 23:40

I like Yoko Kanno,my fav song probably being the one she did with hide,its called 'Run' I believe.

Shiroi na Tenshi · Sep 16, 2008, 01:15

Yoko Kanno deserves more than just one page of tributes people!

Shiroi na Tenshi · Sep 16, 2008, 01:31

When Kanno worked on her albums, she did them hiring several vocal artists. However, several people who know Kanno's work know she composed the tunes for Maaya Sakamoto's first 5 albums (up until Lucy, I believe). Maaya decided to venture out on her own afterwards, but the music was inspirational (and filled with backwards messages.) I still think Kanno deserves the majority of the credit for making and seeing through with these albums. They took a lot of effort to compose (Shinjite, kudasai; I know. I arrange music in my spare time.)

Besides, the music written by Kanno attracted my company. Please continue to give tribute to Kanno by buying all her albums, even the sounndtracks for things like Brain Power'd, Turn-A-Gundam, etc.

Thanks a lot! She's bound to appreciate it!

Noseybonk · Sep 16, 2008, 02:29

Yay, someone else is a Yoko fan,

plus the thread has been revived

samflutch · Sep 22, 2008, 16:31

It is amazing that Your music is full of different styles but Your music and notes from them are unusual… Each anime with Your music is special…
Thank You for all music, cause IT IS Yours…
Mrs Kanno… I wish You neverending inspirations…. Make more music with Your deep heart in which it plays.

Ahh...I was away for sooo long..and it is such a pleasant surprise to find Yoko Kanno thread here now I'm back.. I'm her huge fan, the most of my library is Yoko Kanno's music.. I started listening to her music when I was watching Cawboy bebop, and liked the soundtrack... I especially love Wolf's rain ost, it's one of the best I've ever heard, the songs really wake up emotions in you, Leaving on red hill and Silver river are my favourites. And I love GITS ost too, especially songs with Origa as vocal...

caster51 · Oct 1, 2008, 01:07

Do you know "TOKYO TACO BLUES" by yoko?

Wolfy-chan · Oct 9, 2008, 04:10

Garnet: Wow, you're really a Yoko's fan 8D Cool ^^

caster: I didn't since now ^^ She looks really cool! The PV is a bit creepy though xDDD

Wow, she's really a good composer! She has made a LOT of Maaya Sakamoto songs 8D

She has composed the entire album Macross Frontier O.S.T.2 Nyan Tra., it's really nice! I really recommend you, and you don't need to have seen the serie to like it, I hadn't and I really enjoyed it 8D

AMIGO · Feb 14, 2009, 06:08

I cannot "leave for death" a thread dedicated to Yoko Kanno.
I've seen it right now for the first time.

I've listened to the following song 1000 of times.
What the hell, I've listened to the entire" Escaflowne" soundtrack 1000 times!

The video-maker seems to feel the same as me.

AMIGO · Feb 14, 2009, 06:18

"Dance of Curse"... simply awesome... can't say more...

comorbid · May 2, 2009, 15:48

I got my first taste of her work from Macross Plus. I don't think I've heard much from her that I didn't like, honestly. I wish I still had the soundtracks from that one. I still have the score (and finally ripped it to my iPod), but the other was stolen.

infomercialscams · May 13, 2009, 18:28

I love her music and she is seem very fun and energetic person! Her music is fantastic, not to mention varied. ^_^ Keep up the amazing work!
