Was there one that turned out better than you expected?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">It\u2019s quite hard to answer which song I am most proud of\u2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">First of all, I like all the songs. When the music orders came in, there was no request for slice-of-life music or comedic songs that are usually used in other anime, so I was able to create songs that I like, such as scene descriptive ones focused on feelings and battle themes! <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The one I thought that came out better than I thought was the Chinese-styled soundtrack used in Lu Bu\u2019s entry scene. It sounded a little too cheerful when I listened to the music alone, but it matched perfectly with the animation. Afterward, I thought, \u201cOh, this turned out better than I hoped!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b>Was there a musical style you wanted to focus on?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">As I mentioned previously, I wanted to create passionate music on a large scale that can resonate with the characters\u2019 feelings. I said it multiple times already, but the style I was going for is \u201cmore passion the better!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b>You are a fan of metal music and have said that some of your other soundtracks are variants\/different interpretations of metal music. Were you able to integrate metal into the soundtrack, and if so, how?\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">I LOVE metal, so I have included metal music with my own interpretation. When I say \u201cmetal,\u201d I don\u2019t mean something with guitar, bass, and drums, but I tried expressing \u201cmy metal music\u201d in the progression sequence and melodies by sounding out specific metal-like rhythms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">For the climax music, sound director Ebina-san told me to \u201cGo all out with metal music!\u201d so I was able to create hard-core metal music like a fish in water! I also had a lot of fun since I was able to introduce metal arrangements with classical Bach music!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b>How do you create themes for the fights? Were there elements of the characters that you wanted to bring into the fight music depending on which characters were fighting? (if there is a difference in the fighting between Thor\/Lu Bu and Zeus\/Adam.)<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I differentiated a lot. I tried to reflect the characters\u2019 (supposed) origins in the music. I also tried including musical expressions that match the characters\u2019 nature. I hope fans can now listen to the music in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Record of Ragnarok<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and think, \u201cThis one worked really well!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b>Did you compose tracks with specific scenes or characters in mind? Or did you compose music based on more vague prompts, without knowing exactly when each track would be used?\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Firstly, I had specific information on the music. I had thorough meetings with the director, sound director, and producer to discuss what kind of music was needed for specific scenes prior to production. From there, I was able to compose accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, to answer this question, I did compose tracks while taking the characters\u2019 feelings and fight scenes into account! <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b>Any final comments to anime fans as they watch the anime series?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt;\">Thanks to all of the fans, this anime has been so well received!
