Hi!
Im a young northern British developing dancer... slash director.. film maker - unsure on my title yet.

I most recently made a personal short film documenting a place where I'm from following my siblings and their stories - challenging social realism as a genre
I decided to use 'Voyage to Avalon' as sample sound so my composer could get a feel of the triumph tht I wanted to be felt.. Since.. the sound feels so right in this part of the film, it only made sense to ask how or if I could use it. I plan on sending my film to short film festivals!

Would this be possible?
(I love your talent)

Thanks for your time
Tanica

Dear Roy,
Thank you for enjoying my music!
I think I used E4XT ULTRA, JV5080, KURZWEIL2600 mainly for
I played some kind of percussions and I also remember using samples of them.
However, I don’t remember a lot because it was old program….
Best regards,

Hi Mr. Kawai!

you are one of my favorite composers working in music.

i think your OST for Patlabor 3 is my favorite of yours. i also think the synths are some of my favorite sounding ever.

do you build custom patches on your sound modules or use the stock presets mainly?

and do you remember which synths you used the most on this soundtrack?

your work touches on a feeling i haven't found anywhere else in music. thank you for the endless inspiration you give to fans across the world!

Dear Noel,
Thank you for enjoying my music of “Seirei No Moribito”
We don‘t involved about streaming service…I have no idea about how to request Spotify.
Sorry we don’t help you…
Please continue to listen my music!
Best regards,
Kenji Kawai

Hi! I am a huge fan of the anime Seirei No Moribito/Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit, & i would love to listen to the OST on spotify! Currently, there is no way to stream the OST other than on CD, and youtube. I would greatly appreciate it if the soundtrack could be released on spotify! Thank you!

Dear Jean Sid,
Thank you for listening my music.
Actually, I have never worked for “Jin-Roh” so, I don’t know about this film enough.
Sorry I can’t comment about your question.
I try to keep do my best for composing!
Best regards,
Kenji Kawai

Happy New Year Mr. Kawai.I was browsing through your work a Time ago. I had recently heard about Mr. Oshii's involvement in Jin-Roh. Knowing that you composed for the two previous films, I wanted to ask you: Do you think you have done a similar work to what we find in the film? I would have really loved to hear your version of the soundtrack. A big hug and my best wishes to you.

Hi Kenji,

Thanks for replying, I justs sent something to your team! Do you think it is impossible that you have an alternate version of 1M-5 which isn't included on the CD?

Respectful Regards,

Max

Dear Max,

D-01 さん、こんにちは。
レスが遅くなってすみません・・・。
確かになんとなく作品数は増えてきていますね。
そういった声が多ければ可能性はありますが、
原盤が多岐に渡っているので・・・どうしましょ・・・。

Hi Kenji and the whole team,

Since I worked with people involved in the making of Apocalypse WW2, I remember there was a different version/mix of the song 1M-5 from this CD :

https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/VPCD-81797

The version that I remember (which you sent but didn't end in the TV SHOW) had no choirs and the toms after the big brass section occuring at 1.43 min were more agressive than they are in 1M-5.

As far as I remember it was an instrumental mix of 1M-5!

Has this version been lost ? Is it disrespectful to ask you to look if you still have it?


The most respectful regards

「映画の曲を集めたベスト盤」ということであれば、三枚目のベスト盤が出て以降、相当なストックが貯まっていると思いますので、かなり良いアルバムになるのではないでしょうか。
あとは過去三枚のベスト盤とライブ映像が現在入手困難なので、多くの方々に聴いてもらうためには「ネット配信」というのも良い方法ではないかな、と思います。
川井さんの一存では決められない問題とは思いますが、望んでいるファンは多いと思いますので、どうかご検討くださいませ……。

nakaさん、こんにちは。
僕の音楽をたくさん聴いてくださり、ありがとうございます。
色々な作品の音楽を集めたアルバムに関しましては、
確かに原盤とかの問題もありますね・・・。
でも、そういう配信を望む声が多くあればできるかもしれませんね！

Dear Matt Berry,
Thank you for loving one of my works of “AVALON” ‘s music and still listen to it.
I don't know the system of Spotify, but I'd be honored if people all over the world could listen to it.
Please continue to enjoy my music from now on!
Best regards,
Kenji Kawai
