Japanese Orchestra Music

[Fattsanta]

Hey everyone

Ive been trying to get pumped lately for Shogun 2 even if I do have a while to wait.

So ive recently been interested in the music of the time. Orchestra music known as Gagaku.

Does anybody know any Japanese orchestra's that play music such as the music from The Last Samurai (Although a movie not everyone likes due to historical inaccuracies it still had a beautiful musical score)

Other then choirs is there any Japanese composers that have made some good music of that variety? Anything classical Japanese should do.

Thanks Guys

Regards

Fattsanta

Try some Kodo

I hope they just re-use the original music, it was a masterpiece.
I really thing it added to the game and is certainly one of the features, with the videos that has stuck in my head all these years.

Try the Hans Zimmer music from The Last Samurai.

A way of life
Spectres in the fog
A hard teacher
Idyll's End

Meh. That makes me think more of Hollywood then Honshū.

I like the original music by Jeff van Dyck, who'll be making a return. The same again or more along those lines would do me nicely.
Though those Kodo fellas have some "oomph" behind them that I like too.

lol....they should just hire some of the dudes that make the best anime music XD *yeah i like anime*

i d k there was this anime with really good music...it was about ghosts but the music was so classical japanese, they should hire that dude

but i think Jeff Van Dyk should be back...ETW and NTW without his music it wasnt the same...it felt boring

i can really see the campaign map with music like this

Van Dyck will probably just do a more varied and lavish version of the old Shogun, sticking only to Japanese music.

Anime generally goes for more contempory music plus plenty of western classical music-I mean look at Samurai Champloo.

well...still leaving the responsability to the music to a japanese compositor will make a really good work...japanese are very proud about their past, culture and history...so if a japanese compositor makes the soundtrack for this game it will really take into account the period, the history of his country and will make a real masterpiece than not even foreing renowed compositors will make...

i really like it when you get consumed with the music while playing...and neither ETW or NTW were able to accomplish that
