Seiken Densetsu4 - Dawn of Mana - Opening

Ryuichi Sakamoto

Rest in peace Ryuichi Sakamoto. This is our piece of you.

あまり知られてないけれどこれを作曲なされたのが坂本龍一さんだと知り、その前から好きだったけれどより奥深さを覚えながら好きになりました。坂本さんが作られる音楽はどこか刹那的でだけど、自然とイメージさせられる世界観、とても雄大的な音楽性に溢れていました。本当に悔やまれてなりません。素晴らしい音楽家の方が亡くなってしまったなんて。 R.I.P. どうか天国でも音楽を愛し愛されていますように、心からお祈り申し上げます。

FF外から失礼します。コメントありがとうございます。私も精剣伝説４プレーしていた時すぐこの曲を好きになり後で坂本さんの曲だと分かりました。元々彼のファンなのであの坂本さんが好きなゲームのテーマを作るなんてもちろん大喜びです。この世界にはもういらっしゃらないですが、いつか別の世界で会えるでしょう。坂本さん, 向こうで休められますよう、心からお祈りいたします。

idk wy but when i was listening to the song the first time, it reminded me of a anime movie like spirited away or something

[@jonboywonder6852]

2007 was the year my uncle passed. I was 11 and it was the first time I ever learned what "death" truly was. To lose someone you love and never be able to spend a single moment with them again. It honestly didn't hit me until I saw everyone crying at the funeral and seeing him for the last time in the casket. By some coincidence, I started to play this game shortly before his death and never listened to the opening song of this game but, that night when I went back home and turned the game and let the music play through was the most heartbreaking moment for me while listening to this song for the very first time. After coming back for years, re-listening, and learning that Ryuichi Sakamoto has passed in recent years truly saddens me. I wanted to make this post to thank him for this marvelous piece of work and helping me cope with my uncles passing. When i listen to this song now, i feel nothing but nostalgia and loving memories. Thanks for reading :)

RIP坂本 龍一先生

坂本龍一さん。。。

[@j-light8333]

Kids won't know how deep story telling and music of games of the past shaped our morals and character today

[@matinazadeh6870]

This game is pretty sad too, if you consider the story

[@KareemPinkston]

A very tender melody. Somewhat melancholy and as others have stated, nostalgic. Love this.

[@littlezbot1189]

Damn emotional damage

[@user-or1ce2xh2u]

ゲーム自体はプレイしたことがないけど それでも勝手に心に物語が想起されるぐらいに情緒的で物語的なテーマソング 坂本龍一が聖剣伝説の音楽を作っていたのは知らなかったな ゲーム音楽、ジャンル、カテゴライズ関係なく、純粋な感情の奥に突き刺さるのが坂本龍一の音楽 やはり凄いとしか言いようがない。

[@dingliedangliedoodle9261]

I haven't played this game, nor do I know this song, but I don't know where I have heard something like this before, especially around this part 2:27. Can someone help me, it could have been a track from a Ghibli movie, or another melancholic anime.

[@macroidtoe]

This track was composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto, who composed soundtracks for a whole lot of Japanese movies. I don't believe he ever actually did a Ghibli soundtrack, but he was undoubtedly an influence on Joe Hisaishi who actually did. (Or it might be more appropriate to say they likely had a sort of parallel influence on each other since their careers largely overlap.)

[@saikatsune2085]

@@macroidtoe This. I will also state that the oboe is a somber and familiar instrument when utilized intelligently. There are lots of Japanese pieces that utilize a sad oboe and piano, so that may be why it sounds familiar.

ストーリー的には「始まり」であり、ナンバリング的には「最後」であったとユーザーに知らしめる作品。いまだに4は販売されていないと思っているユーザーもいるぐらいの黒歴史。 坂本龍一が参加しこの曲の素晴らしさだけ見れば成功が約束されたはずだったのに。

[@user-or1ce2xh2u]

プレイしたことは無いのですが作品としては駄作だったのですか？
