INTIR-014: Rockman 9 Arrange Soundtrack

[CHz]

This one hasn't been announced on Inti's site yet, just on this Famitsu news story. The catalog number will undoubtedly be INTIR-013 or INTIR-013~4, depending on how many discs it is.

Inti Creates are publishing both CDs, so it's INTIR-014.

[Akumu]

Im guessing VGMWorld will get both this and the original soundtrack cd?

Sure, maybe VGMworld and Otaku too.

[Rockman]

I'm going to order from e-Capcom if Amazon doesn't have it up for Preorders in a week (Which they never had Inti Creates CDs before I think)

I need to get a Rockman 20th Anniversary T-Shirt anyways.

[dma]

I just hope it will be better than the 2 anniversary arrange albums tho...

As in more faithful to the original compositions, especialy on the false notes side...

[Akumu]

Well, Kahori from VGMWorld just told me that they are gonna stock these albums so that's good. Gonna get me both

[Carl]

VGMWorld get!!

[Zorbfish]

Nice, been meaning to do a bulk order from VGMworld.

[Akumu]

Some new info on the site, i added it to the notes.

Corrected a few names. 川上領 is Ryo Kawakami and 友澤眞 is Makoto Tomozawa.

I wonder what the deal is with the crazy track order. I know III has rearranged the track order on previous arrange albums, but that's usually due to dividing the music upon two themed discs. This order doesn't seem to make sense unless they plan on making the music blend together seamlessly. I guess I'll have to wait to hear it until I know for sure.

I hope this is good though. It won't be the same without Luna Umegaki arranging the whole thing. Perhaps Gigamix will be an indication of how this will sound.

[Akumu]

so is this delayed until the 14th? i've seen people mention it's been delayed a few days and vgmworld has also delayed the shipment by a few days

Mine shipped out on time (from Kahori as well). In fact, just received it today along with a bonus pre-order sticker! Gonna get the scans up now...

[CHz]

Specific composer information hell yes thank you Inti

Kind of surprised Ippo Yamada did Thunder Tornado, I didn't think he was that good.

[Akumu]

Thanks so much, JAMMA, awesome to see who did what, finally.

My cd was shipped out this afternoon, usually takes about a week, have you listened through yet and gathered an opinion on the arrangements?

[Carl]

While the album has diversity, it doesn't have the same ENERGY feeling that I associate with Rockman, so I'm much preferring the OST at the first listen... This could have been titled "Rockman Relaxation".

On second listen my acceptance is improving, but it's sounding less like Rockman and more like OTHER games though!!

Splash Woman is practically Schala from Chrono Trigger
Magma Man dreams of being in a Wild Arms intro
Overdrive Scamble is Magus from Chrono Trigger with a dash of Xenogears.
Suspense is in Soukaigi style, minus the live instruments which could have turned that into magic.
What do you Select? could be a SNK Fighter select screen.

While these ARE good songs, they just aren't rockman songs anymore (which is fine if that's the direction the producer was aiming for...) I'm glad Manami Matsumae still has a Rockman's heart though.

Seriously? I was betting on that being done by Ippo. It's totally like his opening stage themes for the Rockman Zero series.

Actually, Overdrive Scramble was done in a Breath of Fire style, as stated on the album's webpage.

A Google Translation evidently wasn't enough to connect the dots regarding the BURESUOBUFAIA style on that, my apologies for following my ears' translation instead.

Here's a good article on the release of this album, along with pictures of everyone involved and III performing

[Carl]

Cool link, thanks

[Kewing]

Got my copy today and personally, I think the album is stunning overall. I see what some may refer to as it being relaxed and with not so much energy, but still some of the reinterpretations are quite genious, and there's a great lot of variety. I'm half done listening to the album but I can already say I'm really pleased with it so far
Great job from the III sound unit once again.
Also, I don't know how but I still got the preorder sticker from vgmworld o_o. Wasn't really expecting it.

[traflaz]

Does anyone have the lyrics for the last song? In romanji I mean.

[Cedille]

Is the lyricist of the 23rd track (HIN) the same person as Hitoshi Ariga? This description implies at least one of Hitoshi Ariga and Toru Itoga was involved in this album.

そして、ロックマン9アレンジサウンドトラックに引き続き、有賀ヒトシが作詞にチャレンジし、糸賀徹がボー カルを務めるDigitalSpicyDuck演奏によるスペシャルトラック！

[Zhane Masaki]

Read the manga part that is in the booklet and from what I can surmise its a prologue to Mega Man 9.
