Ghost in the Shell - A Música

Burning — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 01:20:55 +0000

Qualquer filme, desenho ou até mesmo comercial que se preze tem que ter algo que dê uma alma musical, algo que conecte os ouvidos de quem está vendo. Na minha opinião a trilha sonora de um filme faz pelo menos 30% do trabalho de cooptação do espectador. Se for uma música fantástica, o filme será lembrado pela maioria que o viu, bons exemplos são 2001 e Star Wars. Na hora em que o macaco está lançando o osso em 2001 tem uma sinfonia tocando no fundo e quem já viu o filme logo associa a cena com o tema. Star Wars tem um efeito ainda maior, quando o tema de Darth Vader toca, a maior parte das pessoas logo lembram do Lorde Negro dos Sith entrando na tela, ameaçador e imponente.

Em um universo tão cyberpunk igual Ghost in the Shell, a música tem que fazer um trabalho imenso, afinal ali está sendo mostrado um futuro, nem sempre tão bom quanto imaginamos que o futuro vai ser, mas sem dúvida um futuro cheio de coisas interessantes, corpos ciborgues, muita ação e inteligência dos personagens, que são fantásticos, Masamune Shirou criou pessoas bem interessantes para o seu mundo, mas ainda sim sem a música certa eles ficam como que perdidos.

É neste ponto que entra a Yoko Kanno, sua imaginação fértil e vocais poderosos da Origa, Ilaria Graziano e Gabriela Robin. A entrada do Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex é uma computação gráfica um tanto quanto esquisita, parece ter sido feita as pressas e se fosse só por causa dela, acho que jamais teria visto o anime, mas a trilha Inner Universe supera o CG e começa a mostrar toda a potência da série. Aliás ouvi a música antes de ter visto o anime e me apaixonei imediatamente. As letras em russo servem para ajudar ainda mais o mistério a que o anime pretende mostrar e ainda tem as músicas de fundo que parecem fazer aquele mundo ali mostrado ficar vivido a nossa volta.

O mesmo acontece com a segunda série The 2nd Gig, começando com Rise que parece pegar imediatamente de onde a primeira série parou, prometendo ainda mais mistérios e ação. E o que a música promete é cumprido e com muita competência.

Um bom aparelhato de som, muita diversão e é claro Ghost in the Shell na veia, essa é uma boa recomendação para quem está procurando alguma coisa boa para ouvir, os cds misturam jazz, rock e outros estilos fazendo com que as músicas tenham uma boa apresentação e uma musicalidade sem igual, claro não esperaríamos menos da Yoko Kanno.

Robin #8: AIMO

Virgilius Sade — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 10:16:40 +0000

I haven't done anything for Mai & Co. in a while so here it is.

Aimo, aimo neteru bushe loimiliae dertodeatami

Ume, umeiya mou hikari wa deita
Mulae, mulaeiya, umeyamuyuiya-sashi, yoko

Aimo, aimo neteru bushu loimiliae dertodeatami
Kokowatekana amideyo
Ume, umeiya mou hikari wa deita
Mulae, mulaeiya, umeyamuyuiya-sashi, yoko

Mune no boku ni nemuru
O-oki na, o-oki ne, itsukushi ni wa
Itsukushi ni mo
Subaku e ku e no hira wo

Honnou de shizuka de

(Ne sabasu yo...)

Kokowatekana amideyo
Aimo, aimo neteru bushe

3, 2, 1!: HAPPY NEW YEAR

Virgilius Sade — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 04:43:41 +0000

The New Years' Resolutions of Virgilius Sade:

Get a licence
Pass another year at College
Go out with that Somebody
Re-learn piano
Write stories and poems like crazy like I used to
Deal with "The Black Dog"
See movies worth seeing
Save money

That's all I could come up with. Last year, I didn't really have a resolution at all because of being a total skeptic when it comes to them and the related, somewhat silly list that follows. It has not been a year here at Randomly Relevant, only six months or so, but you know some people...

Randomly Relevant originally started as a political/social/religion/stupidity commentary with quotes and random (yet related) Youtube videos and several links to different entries, thanks to Wikipedia as a restart to the blog under the name of Apabila Dunia Berjadi Bodoh? But without the pretty Photoshopped pictures.
It had several brushes of fame and controversy, namely: Here and here.
It was the only one in Oz to ever blog about the '07 Election and the stupidity of Howard.
The author got added the the blogroll of TheDesktop and "knighted". Was in fact late for the ceremony and participated in what was the most epic burn of his "career" months later.
Most of the search engines results were that of Gabriela Robin, a co-worker of Japanese composer Yoko Kanno.
Virgilius Sade was well liked as a result of commenting in the blog of Daddy Dan and bestowed his wisdom upon The Leaky Brain and If You Read This, I’ll Buy You Some Cake and TheDesktop as well.
Started adding bits and pieces from his mysterious life, as well clips and postings about the British science fiction series, Doctor Who, Japanese classical rockers ALI PROJECT and the similar group Yousei Teikoku.
The author proclaims that he shall keep blogging for the hell of it.

So yes, Happy New Year to everyone and I'll hope to see you all later.

Had to know sent here

this sea that moves, always sunk up
had to know that you could go
on this that nicked it to 'ell

Come back here

love more, men that need them

Had to know, sent to you
on tho' on needs that stuck out
that who knows, sent to you
on tho' on needs that stuck out

Daily Life: SNIPPETS

Virgilius Sade — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 03:40:59 +0000

Yesterday, I went shopping with a bunch of people; a relative, a friend I've known since primary school and myself. I finally got my hands on Ghost in the Shell S.A.C: SOLID STATE SOCIETY on DVD which is a limited edition that comes with the O.S.T for the movie itself and the game soundtrack from .hack//G.U which was also nice. I've noticed that most of my friend's shopping tastes haven't really changed and plus they have a habit of dragging me around too much at times and I still have trouble when it comes to getting a good T-shirt. The rest of the people I knew from high school got average jobs and most of them are married or pregnant. Sometimes I think, am I being left behind in all this? In a world where straight after, you are expected to become a young adult as soon as possible and go forth into the wild? am I really ready for this sort of thing yet? I kept reminding myself of the novel I am currently reading on the train on the way home, Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami, an English translation. I called about my Tuesday appointment with --- ------, to see if he was interested. But nothing much has happened or changed for the matter.

Robin/ILA #5: REPLICA

Virgilius Sade — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 12:00:34 +0000

Replica by Ilaria Graziano (with lyrics written by Gabriela Robin)

Stalling quiet down my silence
searching that we've done?

Stalling quiet down my silence
searching that we've done...

Stalling quiet down my silence
Searching for calm...

Found my own destiny out there
Can't you be calm?

Love is broken knitted
thought a love remade

Cheating, stole it, I don't know
Buried, the comatose flower so are growing there
Buried it there my good son
So much to shine over

Like a show that never star

A shamed one will change
Fool got you the nothing
A shamed one will change
Fool got you the nothing

Stalling quiet down my silence
searching that we've done...

I just done all my life...
all my life
all my life
all my life

You should know
You should know
I should know
Should know
My Self... My Self... My Self...
How much would I know My Self...
My Self...
My Self...

Stalling quiet down my silence
searching that we've done?

Searching for calm... ehhhhh....

A shamed one will change
A shamed one will change
A shamed one will change

Fool got you the nothing
Fool got you the nothing...

In A Dark Corridor: BROKEN LANTERNS

Virgilius Sade — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 10:14:39 +0000

After looking at the Times. It is clear to me that:

1) This newspaper is not focusing on celebrities no longer
2) They write this that truly concern us
3) They are no longer blind!!

Let us look at the headlines of the newspaper, the first few pages:

"Wonder Drug" Fears
A fit 19-year-old started taking diet pills to lose weight. Three weeks later she was dead.

Well, appearance is everything to their generation, what could I say? The last one who tried this minus the drugs ended up hooked up to a feeding tube with brain damage.

Lazy, drunk -- and pregnant
WA teenagers are becoming pregnant in record numbers because they are too lazy or too drunk to bother with contraception, research has found.

They live to party, a party is their life. So I wouldn't be suprised.

Only 20m away from a killing machine
A perth student has described the nightmare of being within metres of gunfire in the worst shooting massacre in US history.

Well, I don't know what to say... This guy is very lucky to be breathing right now.

Congratulations to those writers; you have just differentiated yourselves from those who can write what truly matters
and those who can just write the daily, expected celebrity-charged fodder.

On a much nicer, cheerier note, Mai of Gabrielarobin.com has posted this, nice!

Robin #3: STAMINA ROSE

Virgilius Sade — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 04:09:01 +0000

Stamina Rose by Gabriela Robin, Fan transciption by Edseverripit, original transcription by Mai of Gabrielarobin.com

Little Things: BRILLIANCE

Virgilius Sade — Fri, 20 Apr 2007 13:47:00 +0000

The cause of my woe is gone, it is really good in it's brilliance, these guys have asked for my contribution. The world seems much better, sorry for my crypticism in this. Even if there is a lighter side to the world, there is always the darkness, still surrounding since the day with tears, bullets and blood. May they have their peace.

Robin #2: SHE IS

Virgilius Sade — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 05:05:22 +0000

I know these guys have beaten me to it, but who cares?

Do you see this way?
See what you should we do?
Inhale cause one to fail...

See instead...
Mystique standing
Way to do, to be told...
Go down there, you see the breeze
It's all done, send it to...
Because so, their here yes, she heard from them, what have you?-
Be certain fall...

Robin: ZERO SIGNAL

Virgilius Sade — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 04:11:40 +0000

Zero Signal by Gabriela Robin, composed by Yoko Kanno (From the Ghost in the Shell S.A.C: Solid State Society O.S.T/O.S.T 4)

ekutumina, ekutumina, ekutumina, ekutumina-baya
(deshan, deshan perete-paritaye)

Kukuterika, kukuterika, kukuterika, kukuteri-

Abalan guush, estabeylan duush,
eden plavena, plonitch schtu vem,
Abalan guush, estabeylan duush,
Meiyumei sigma lijen to-o plomatikaa...

NOTE: I tried to post it up in the Gabriela Robin Site, but unfortunately they haven't answered, so I'll put the self-transcribed lyrics here.
