DISC 2
Disc2 track05- track09 commentary
Good evening, everyone. Yamanaka is here.
The sample of the soundtrack “THE LAST REMNANT” finally arrived!
I realize that the release date is getting closer by looking at those samples.
Mr. Sekito is almost crying by looking at those CDs!
Marushi Akio has a big smile in his face with those CDs!
And a great image of a great remnant on 3CDs!
Marushi Akio explained me with all his enthusiasm about this image,
Today, we will start from the commentary of the 5th Track of Disc2 of the soundtrack.
■5. Free and Easy
【Mr. Sekito comments;】
The track is from a city part of the game when the player enters the city of Baaluk.
Baaluk places utmost point of the world of “THE LAST REMNANT”, with an essence of good-all countryside city/town. I wish I were visiting Baaluk and forgetting about a time going by, with a cup of tea in one hand.
■6. The Conqueror`s Message
■7. Something About that Guy
【Mr. Yagi comments; 】
This event includes marching out the army of the conqueror in the street of Elysion.
I tried not to go nearer to the “A typical marching army theme” for this composition as you hear a lot of the time it in the commercial media. But I needed an essence of marching army for the music none the less. LOL
This event particularly, I think that the purpose of the event is only a full focus on Roeas character who is looking great in the event. Not to worry even if there is an old guy with red coat appeared in the event. LOL
【Mr. Sekito comments; 】
I love the muscular belly of Madam Roeas. LOL
I particularly like the scene of that muscular body on focus, even though Roeas gives big speech scarily to the people with an attitude in the event. The balance of Castanea character who is the biggest mercenary out of the army and Roeas visually is quite amusing but it makes perfect sense to me.
I concentrated on writing the scene of after the army left from the city to emphasize a suggestion of how Rush would be coping the situation from now on.
■8. The Binding
【Mr. Yagi comments; 】
This event shows a glance of unbreakable power of the conqueror against people.
The brief for the music was that music with unpredictable horrific feeling and the effect on stimulating anxiety. The underscoring was so brilliant that the actual event finished with an impressive and dynamic impact in the end.
【Mr.Sekito comments;】
The conqueror is indeed an exceptional who can bound the ark remnant.
I wrote the track using unusual scale for describing the spooky, suspicious feeling in the track. I also wrote the track unresolved, to leave unsettling mood in the track.
■9. Arcane Mysteries
【Mr.Sekito comments;】
This track is from the hidden part of the dungeon in the game. Although this hidden part exists in 2 places, the music is only 1 version as the 2 places are essentially the exactly the same world. I hope that I have written the track that has mysterious feeling in the track to fit exactly with the concept of this world.
