Wolf's Rain OST - Rakuen ~ Secret Garden

[@FUZA-nn4cn]

This song elegantly illustrates the bittersweet emotions of letting go, and embracing a new beginning. Its painful to let go but it turns the page to another exciting chapter. What lies ahead? We dont know... but thats the beauty of living in the moments while facing the indifference of the unknown.

[@michaelplurad8121]

That ending yo...... Anyone else just sit there for a few long minutes after the episode ending staring at the screen, watching Adult Swim resume as if nothing ever happened? As if you just didn't experience one of the most emotional endings to a series in your young adolescent life?

[@loispeytonjones9258]

yhh just sitting there lifelessly watching kiba run across the screen hahah

[@Zoomy222]

It's seriously the best ending and it's done right. I don't wanna spoil it for those who maybe never saw it and came across the music, but the way it ends, when other writers attempt it, it feels so forced like a clock is just ticking. Wolfs rain nails it.

Watching wolves rains while tripping on shrooms was a beautiful and wonderful experience. I cried so much because all I could see is a journey with me and my family. Sometimes things don’t go as plan and stuff is hard but we always manage to stick together through it all. Tripping with my sisters and watching it with them will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you ❤

[@RosieRoan]

Absolutely stunning OST. This and another OST, called "Float" still remain my two favorite musical scores of Wolf's Rain. I remember watching Wolf's Rain when I was 12. I'm now 24, and I still think that Wolf's Rain is one of the best, most heartfelt anime that I have watched, even 12 years after I last viewed it. If you have not watched Wolf's Rain, I highly recommend doing so, as it is a true gem.

[@sowiloo2187]

I just want to say Yoko Kanno is one of the most brilliant composer's of our time. The fact that she gave us all of Cowboy Bebop's music, plus this and so much more. If you're reading this, go listen to more of her music. Especially the song "Moon" which is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life.

[@camk6986]

Such a great limited series. Gotta love these anime scores man, they really take the art form to a level of emotional connection most people can't appreciate.

[@Studio-907]

This song literally paints the perfect picture of two nobles in love in paradise they created but in search of perfection they became cursed and corrupted. Ultimately leading to the loss of love and paradise in a tragic and emotional situation. This song is composed beautifully and this anime is my favorite anime that nobody has ever seen. I wish everyone who likes anime or classical music or anyone who likes feeling emotion would give this show a watch. I seriously recommend it to everyone that likes anime.

Yoko Kanno is a mastermind, but if anyone wants to enjoy the original version as well, it's Bill Evans' Symbiosis: 2nd Movement: Largo-Adante-Maestroso-Largo, Pt. 1 & Pt. 2

[@MagnussBaugis]

man, the plagiarism on Yoko Kanno's part is heartbreaking; for years I've been admiring her work on all the different animes, but the more you dig into the tunes, the more it becomes obvious that she's been nicking stuff left and right, and this one is one of the more blatant thefts.

[@Joey-Jett]

@@MagnussBaugis I agree, it's been interesting noticing all of the inspiration and pieces she used from other jazz musicians. Luckily however, in Jazz it's more of a supported and often anticipated touch than a lot of purists who criticize today's musicians for using samples of other tracks in their songs. It's the same thing, except in Jazz, Blues, etc you perform those pieces rather than replaying recordings of them. Anyone who's reading this, don't let it disenchant you though, I stand in defense of the use of samples. I don't use them in my music, but I find it to be a legitimate tool for making a great song because you're still creating with something that inspires you and making something that's your own just as our Jazz and Bluegrass forefathers have done for nearly a century. If you really want to date it, we've been doing that since our most primitive stages of understanding music when we were imitating the sounds of nature and animals. That being said though, I love Bill Evans' original just as much. It totally trips me out everytime I hear it though because I discovered this song first many years ago in highschool lol At the end of the day, music is music and there are no rules to sound. There are guides to methods that appeal to the masses with composition and theory, but they're just that - methods established by others.

[@MagnussBaugis]

@@Joey-Jett Sorry, what I was talking about has nothing to do with samples or sampling as a method for music making (also, when musicians use samples, they are required to pay dues/royalties to the owners of the original). This is a professional musician/composer ripping off another professional musician/composer. If Bill Evans were still alive (or, I guess, popular enough) and shown this, there would be a lawsuit. Not sure what you mean with the "in jazz it's more supported" bit; You can present these two tunes to anyone who has studied jazz or classical music, I'd be really surprised if anyone would not raise a red flag. Yoko Kanno's version, even though simplified and shortened, is so close to the original (up until the point where Bill Evans goes into the jazz trio zone) it's an audio meme of "-Can I copy your homework? -Yes, sure, just change it a bit so it doesn't look the same." To me the whole Yoko Kanno situation is real simple - if she has credited the artists whose tunes she has used as a source, then most sincere apologies - I did not know that and then I'm totally out of line here. If, however, she has built her whole career on the assumption that a) the average Anime viewer does not know where her music comes from and b) Western-World musicians would not stumble upon her OSTs because they don't watch Japanese Anime (especially in the pre-internet era), that's just, eh, a bummer.

[@Joey-Jett]

@@MagnussBaugis no worries, I kind of just went into a mindfart tangent that branched off of the original topic lol. I know exactly what you mean though, I personally haven't seen her credit Bill Evans anywhere (I certainly hope she has). It would definitely raise some flags. Personally, I don't discredit Yoko Kanno about it though, because she's composed incredible pieces of original music as well. I see it as Janis Joplins "Summertime" or Elvis' "Hound Dog". Though Elvis didn't credit Big Momma Thornton (and changed some of the words), he still proved himself as a talent independent musician with.. ...a bad reaction to fame in the end lol
