When reading the original work of BANANA FISH, the composer Osawa Shinsuke felt the rare realism in comic works. Although the main stage of the story is not located in Japan, it is enough to make people aware of the depth of the layout of the story, and the vulgarity of the portraits, and inadvertently lock the reader’s eyes into it. .
Knowing that he was selected as the music of “BANANA FISH”, Osawa was deeply honoured and felt a little of pressure for the first animated writing companion of legendary masterpieces. .
Talking about the specific matters of composition, Osawa believes that the supervision of Nakajima and the sound supervisor Yamada Yang’s “clear positioning of the songs for the characters on the stage” and “performance with a specific instrument combination” are relative. Innovative and inspiring for its composing practice. .
For the overall tone of the soundtrack, the adjustment of the tone, the choice of the style, the control of the rhythm, and the details of the background music processing skills, Daze did not pre-set a certain time in the mind when composing Specific music categories. Compared with the one-way operation thinking of melodic lyrics alone, Osawa advocates adopting a technique similar to capturing the subtle changes in the character’s emotions when filming a movie. In some cases, it is also possible to take advantage of the reverse effect of the picture. In short, the methods are diverse and eclectic. .
For the overall control of the background music, Osawa focused on composing the two major axes of “the story can not get rid of the heavy, gray tone” and the “following the emotional ups and downs of the characters”. .
The theme song that reflects the essence of the work is named “BANANA FISH” with the same name as the work. According to Daze, the song is based on the sketch of his own work. Compose it. This process made Ozawa once again deeply aware of the initial intuition of the composer on a work and the key impact on his future creation. .
When it comes to the impressions of the heroes, Xiu and Ying Er, Daze feels that the “mourning” and “shuanglang” displayed in the two have the same characteristics of same-sex attraction, but there are also irreconcilable and difficult to seamlessly bridge. The shortcomings. And in the film, Daze did not deliberately customize the so-called theme song for the two. .
Here, Osawa mentioned that, except for the songs written for the two male masters, he prefers the songs of Dino F. Gruze and Xin Shulin. .
This story begins in New York, USA, and is followed by a follow-up lead for the investigation of “BANANA FISH”. When asked how to create a different sense of air in the various stages, Osawa said that he did not think much about his own writing. In many cases, he would like to sketch a certain scene according to his heart and sketch the outline of the city. Grab, record the notes by feeling. And he often deliberately avoids too much “should” when composing. .
On September 26th, the original soundtrack of “BANANA FISH” was officially released. Speaking of the “listening guide”, Osawa pointed out that the soundtrack used in cartoons is only a small part of the album. Therefore, he suggested that you better not miss the whole song. Moreover, the music part as an independent unit can also be individually tasting from the plot. Even Daze hopes that you can appreciate the original soundtrack as the original story. .
