Your video links appear to be broken. D:

[The Eva Monkey]

Yes I know the same composer composed the ost for both anime, in addition to having the same director...

but this is just lazy work.

Have you heard of Motifs in music? It is not uncommon for composers to adapt, reuse, and reincorporate pieces from previous work into later work. Some would argue that this is the mark of a great musician. John Williams, who is considered one of the greatest film composers does this quite heavily. I'm not so sure if Shiro deserves the same reverence, but I do know that someone cannot rip off themselves, as Shiro did the music for both Evangelion, and Kare Kano. Is it lazy? Not really. If you've noticed, he did a lot more original work for 2.0 than for1.0.

[Dark doom]

Wait, this happend with the mega trailer for 2.0 aswell.
It used music from Gurren Lagann.

[Oz]

This is nothing new, really. At first the "loans" confused me because I instantly associated those compositions with KK. However, on the second view I realised that they are so well used in 2.0 that it doesn't really matter. It might be "lazy", but it works so damn well I don't care about it.

[PSBlows]

oh come on you guys just face the truth.

yes the music fits. I loved it when I heard it.

but when I found out on youtube that it wasn't original music, it was a bit disappointing.

[Dark doom]

Well, I actualy agree with Oz, there's nothing exacly wrong with this.
If it fit's, it fit's, and it's good to.

[The Eva Monkey]

Now that the links are fixed, I actually like the music more. I really like the use of stuff from Kare Kano. It works really well.

[Joseph the PRPD]

oh come on you guys just face the truth.

You registered just for this?
And it's not "ripping off".

[Sachi]

This is hardly lazy, and it is obviously done intentionally. Do you really think a musician would go through all the trouble of producing the track if it wasn't? Many musicians do this, not because they're musically lazy, but because it's effective as an art.

[Sailor Star Dust]

...It's not a "rip off" if the composer is using his own previously composed pieces. Besides, the composition of the Karekano pieces with what's used in 2.0 ARE at least using different arrangements or orchestration.

For reference's sake, here's the list of Karekano pieces:

2.0 OST Disc 1 (In-film versions of the pieces used, as such, some don't have a "full" version):

2EM05_KK_B09
2EM06_KK_B16
2EM07_KK_B09_InDoor
2EM10_KK_C01_AddGuit
2EM12_KK_A09
2EM17_KK_A08
2EM18_KK_C01
2EM20_KK_A09_Kuriya
2EM21_KK_C01_Str+AcGuit
2EM22_KK_A08_Orche

2.0 OST Disc 2 (full versions of the pieces plus some bonus tracks):

String Opus I
Unpeeled Potatoes
String Opus II
Instability [Orchestra]
Instability [Piano Solo]
Mellow2009

Dark doom: Fan trailer or whatever use whatever music people want them to use. And Gurren Lagaan's composer was Taku Iwasaki, not Shiro Sagisu.

The piece Yamashita (2EM09_YAMASHITA) from the film The Man Who Stole the Sun is also a different arrangement from what that particular film uses. Either way, it's an homage which there's nothing wrong with.

2.0 also has it's fair share of background pieces from other sources used in the film (NGE and 1.0 did this too, with the Kotono Mitsuishi - Lilia from Ys and Masami Okui songs).

2EM19 is Variations on a Theme By Mozart, while ふりむかないで (Furimuka naide, Don't turn your face) by The Peanuts and 恋の季節 (Koi no Kisetsu, Season of Love) by Kon Youko and 'Pinky & Killers' are old school songs. Of course, 今日の日はさようなら (Today is the day for Goodbye) and 翼をください (Please Give Me Wings) are songs from the 70s ("Today" is an enka song), fitting ones at that.

Also, merged with the music thread.

[Warren Peace]

Not only do I not mind them using Kare Kano, I hope they keep at it. There are a few other peices that could find their way into 3.0+...

Three english versions of such a nice song:

Susan Boyle - Wings To Fly

Hayley Westenra - Tsubasa Wo Kudasai

Susan Boyle>>>>everything

[sephirotic]

I like the latter-romantic feel of the chorus music Shiroh Sagisu composed for the movies, ("Angel of Doom", "In my spirit", "Final decision we all must make", "Keep you heads above the Mayhem" and "Carnage") but i'm missing some classics like Mahler, Wagner, Bruckner, Brahms and Beethoven himself, i think they would be a perfect fit for the ST of the rebuild.

[SEELE-01]

Beethoven himself, i think they would be a perfect fit for the ST of the rebuild.

Crossing fingers for having back the 9th at the very least...
Won't complain if Aleluyah, Amen and Air in G do so too...

Does anyone know if there's a record of the version of Tsubasa wo Kudasai that played in Noguchi and that comes as an extra in the DVD?

I'm curious about that too.I really like that version.I hope there's a way you can listen to it without having to watch the extra.

[IrkenEvangelion]

I believe this is where I should post it. K-On! Version

Tsubasa wo Kudasai

[RetroRainbow]

I can't stop cringing.

[Eva 04]

I can't stop cringing.

About the KON version of Give Me Wings?I'm sorry but if that makes you cringe then your ears dont work right or something.Not only is that version good but it's also cute.
