Recording of the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra.A Composition by James Barnes.

HOLY SHIT, they played this in the new Pokemon trailer. I have been saying for over a decade that it sounds like a Pokemon route theme, I feel SOOOO validated right now

[@ong5589]

Right? I was jamming while watching that trailer

[@DarkAmikari]

I was like "This sounds familiar!" and couldn't focus on the trailer because I had to dig through my brain for this piece's title

[@KbanjoK]

@@DarkAmikari Oh yeah, I literally couldn't focus because I was in such disbelief

[@klhonrade4699]

Noticed this too 😅

[@robsmith7376]

Same! I heard the first few seconds and realized that I had played it last year and was jamming out the whole trailer

[@dodderycobra4478]

The perfect mix of adventurous and emotional, only for it to collapse into chaos for us woodwinds. Who else feels this

[@c.k.mcknight8921]

James Barnes pieces certainly do that, don't they?

[@haleysvec2608]

Our band director maniacally smiles everytime we play this

[@yuminchen4869]

I’ve never have a concert with senior band due to the pandemic. My seniors used to perform this song on stage and I felt so amazing when I’m just a junior who just silently work under the stage. This song reminds me of the days we practice, go competition together and the happiness and sadness. I feel so miserable right now. I’m gonna graduate without a precious memory with the band lately. I miss those days

この曲の自作自演という事で貴重な録音ですね。 日本に初めてこの曲を紹介した汐澤氏の指揮の録音がハイテンポだった為、日本中でかっ飛ばすアルバマーがスタンダードになってしまいましたが、本当はこんなにじっくりと歌い上げる曲だという事を知って指揮してほしいですね。

[@DSSaturiaXI]

In my hometown, Geldo (Spain), when there is a proclamation about an event, this music plays. After 6 years I finally know the name of this "Final Fantasy vibing" melody. I can finally die peacefully.

@@jonny6738 Yes. It was part of the sight reading portion of the competition. Naturally we didn't play it quite as fast. But I remember it well playing the runs at the end. They laid well.
