Ryuichi Sakamoto - Fade

From the animated sci-fi film "Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise." (1987)

[@Shaker626]

R.I.P. Maestro. Ryuichi Sakamoto's life may have faded away, but his legacy will remain.

You anime geeks are sooo extra 😂

[@gokurakumaru1]

この作品の宇宙軍こそが、当時の若きガイナックスであり日本アニメーションのスピリッツだったんだ。 こんなに深いテーマと、まるで実在するかのような事細かな設定や世界観。 当時の日本人の豊かで無限な想像力とアニメにかける執念が生み出した唯一無二な作品。

[@ojigbeready]

R.I.P. Ryuichi Sakamoto.

[@SleggarLawlz]

Rest in Peace, Ryuichi...

[@ウォーキングライフ-b1k]

数十年前、たまたま寄ったビデオ屋で、たまたま見つけて見たアニメだった。 なんとなく面白そうだったので借りた。見たら物凄く面白かった。その後何度も見た。 ダビングもした。放映されたときは録画した。何回見たかわからない。私の青春時代に見たアニメ。そのころの自分の背景がフラッシュバックする。 色々なところに含みがある。シロツグは、マフィーの運転するジープで、宇宙船の発射場に行く途中か現地だったか宇宙に出たときの地球へのメッセージの練習をしていた。その時は、「人類初の宇宙飛行士のシロツグ・ラーダットです・・」と言っていたが、その後いろいろな経験をしていろんなこと考えた。実際に、宇宙船の発射が成功して宇宙船から短波放送か何かで、地球へメッセージを流した時には「私は人類初の宇宙飛行士です」と自分の名前は言わなかった。自分の名前を言ってアピールすることに何も意味がないと言ってるように。色々な批評があるが物凄い傑作だとおもう。

[@TwodeeTwodimensional]

RIP, this was my favourite track of his.

[@triplehate6759]

A forgotten masterpiece, and an important piece of anime history; without it, Gainax would never have gone on to raise the bar (multiple times over) on what TV anime (and animation in general) could do.

[@DR3ADER1]

And despite being one of the best animation studios of all time, they squandered it all by evading taxes(before Ufotable made it mainstream), failing to pay their former staff members properly and getting sued numerous times as a result, and the many allegations of sexual assault. In many ways, GAINAX are the best and worst of the Japanese animation industry. Something that TRIGGER, who are composed of former GAINAX alumni, can't even hold a half-used candle to.

[@pwoodman6823]

リイクニが雪を見上げるラストシーンが大好きでした。懐かしくて泣きそう。

[@Jexton]

What intrigued me the most about this track, is that it's really just a variation of the main theme, just modernized, signifying the technological progress Shirotsugh accomplished at the end of the movie.

[@johnfogliani3040]

The musical term is SYNCOPATION.

[@mp4-27d3]

Agreed…good point. I noticed the change in the themes, but I never thought to connect it to Shirotsugh’s journey and accomplishment.

[@Raddland]

No matter how hard I try, none of my friends will watch this movie. It's a slow burn, I get it, but that build up is monumental. I get teary eyed just thinking about the conclusion of this film. People could probably use the message more today than ever. This song caps off one of the best resolutions to a movie ever.

[@SMGJohn]

Royal Space Force is an unique piece of art up there with the big ones, its not slow its just too intelligent and complex for them to understand the beauty of this masterpiece and the amount of work and details that went into its creation is simply mind blowing outstanding on magnificent levels.

[@nilozero]

You need new friends. 😉

[@RastaJew]

I would sit down and show this movie to anyone I know.

[@odakyuodakyu6650]

[@CSGraves]

Puts in mind something Tarkovsky said about the first hour or so of Solaris being 'boring on purpose' to 'keep out the stupid people'. I've had similar luck trying to get others to appreciate this film.

[@user-cj3zb4ok7v]

初めて見たとき中学生でしたｱﾆﾒでこんなのやっちゃうんだって衝撃を受けました忘れた頃に見てしまう年を経るごとに味わい深くなる作品

[@ctrl_altesc]

This song, particularly the beginning, reminds me of being a young boy of about 7 on one special Christmas. I received all the presents I had asked for, and I went outside alone with my sled to enjoy that great blanket of white. I stepped out in my over sized jacket and little snow boots, and it was still snowing all great and silent. I looked up at the sky, and watched the slow descent of the frozen little flakes, and even though I was entirely unconscious to it at the time, I know now that I could sense the enormity existence, and the mystery of it all... I wish that feeling would stay with people forever, and that we would never give up on hope for the future.

[@mikisuke3jp]

そんな評価あったんだ。制作費の割に思ったほど、興収伸びなかったからかな。映画としても、音楽も大好き。

[@fleetweed]

まぁ商業的には大赤字らしかったですからね。でもオレも同意。女っ気一切無いのに(あっリイクニ居たか)ここまで集中して観せ…いや魅せられた、鳥肌立ったアニメ、エヴァとか一連のジブリとかもろもろひっくるめてもそれ以降今の今まで観たことない。

[@LukeVilent]

+NeoGeoMurikov This is what Gainax could have been :(

[@Anymouse2]

+Nikolay Ivankov Indeed.

[@SMGJohn]

+Nikolay Ivankov Gainax was transforming to be something like this however a lot of the artistic guys left because they were too political, which is understandable they were Communists much like Miyazaki, most of the artistic guys who really built the anime industry were radical left wing born out of a political violent era. From the mass student protests to the generation gap of the 80s and 90s. You do not see things like this anymore, Miyazaki himself has retired, a lot of the old guys are dead or retired for good. We still have Gundam though so that is always reassuring.

Over a year later, and I'm not exactly sure if this is what you're looking for, but here is Ryuichi Sakamoto's String Jazz composition of 'Fade'kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3-0oWCLiLeDhNk - I'm lead to believe this is what you mean since piano is the opening instrument.

[@mattbrahe2982]

It’s been 3 years, so maybe I’m late saying this, but the tiny amount of orchestral stuff he did is not representative of the rest of his music. He was a pioneer of every kind of electronic genre imaginable. Try the album Neo Geo. Or B-2 Unit. Or just any random album off of Discogs that he’s credited on. This track is far more typical of the “Ryuichi Sakamoto sound” than any of his orchestral stuff.
