Well, continuing on with the Tanabata theme that started with the epic Author's Pick in the previous article, I was thinking about another artist. I was wondering whether the good folks at Nash Music Library had come up with a Tanabata-themed song because they seem to have covered all the bases in terms of music for different situations.
And I needn't have worried. Sure enough, NML came up with "Tanabata" in 2022 as part of their "File Supply Vol.10". Usually, the music makers have created short but sweet instrumentals but this time, "Tanabata" is a full ballad at over four minutes with what sounds like a classically-trained vocalist perhaps singing wistfully about the travails of Orihime and Hikoboshi. It feels otherworldly and old-worldly and somewhat timeless, so I was left thinking that this could have made for an ideal song for an isekai anime.
Woah! This song sounds like it could be part of James Bond sound track or maybe some detective drama.
ReplyDeleteAny particular Bond movie you're thinking about?
DeleteI am not sure but somehow it reminds me of a Sean Connery Era James bond theme.
