Correct phrasing would be that Kawai-san composed the reprise. Credit for the actual song still should go to J. Rodrigo, H. Kretzmer, and H. Shaper, hence the credits..
Kawai-san is a master. Comparing the original and this piece is like night and day. And Itou Kimiko's voice is just... wow.
@allblacks1990 very true...but who would expect that when even the Greeks don't know how their culture is appreciated outside their borders...if they only knew, then maybe would be better people....
that was written in 1939 dumbshit.. it's past expiry date and free for adaptations without having to pay dues to the original creator already.. that's like blaming a modern song for incorportating classical music.. fuckin idiot..
I'm a real big fan of Ghost in the Shell and Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez," and when I heard the first couple of notes I was like: "wait a minute..." and then when I realized what was actually going on, well... I ruined a perfectly good pair of briefs. What a great song and what an excellent movie!
Kenji Kawai didnt take credit for this song btw... in the credits of the most amazing movie ever made (im not joking) it was stated that the music was done by J. Rodrigo and lyrics were done by H. Kretzmer and H. Shaper.
Also think that the movie couldn't have ended better than with this great song. I usually hate this type of music but i found this song haunting after watching Innocence... amazing
Kenji Kawaii did compose this version of the song, and the reason why I am saying 'version' is because he did not compose the original 'follow me', neither did he write it (the lyrics) nor the percussion or the rhythm, harmony etc. He simply made composed this slightly altered version of the song, the person(s) behind the original are F. Rodrigo and Demis Roussos.
Check your sources before you convey any unnecessary statements, genius.
this may be a dumb question, but the links in the description, are any of them MP3 downloads? its just i love this song and i really want to put it on my iPOD (when i get 1 lol) so i can hear this while standing in the sea
@QuatermassMan yeah i liked it also. it had great visuals and some good ideas but the plot is pretty obscure. it would be tricky coming up with a logline for it! but this was a great versino of the concerto de aranjuez!
I think the director explains this in the interview with him that's on my blu-ray. He feels that the story is secondary in creating an impression on people.
Didn't watch that bit yet... but I thought that Kuze was just a childhood friend... kinda... and that it touched Motoko to meet him again. Well, like I said, I didn't watched that bit yet. But anyway... there were moments between Motoko and Batou in the series AND... the movies are set in an almost different universe, shall we say... and Kuze apparently doesn't exist in the movies.
"Follow me to a distant land this mountain high, where all the music that we always kept inside will fill the sky, singing in the silence swerve, a heart is free. While the world goes on turning and turning, turning and falling. Follow me." Great song.
Spectacular music based on a called the "Concierto de Aranjuez", a composition for classical guitar and orchestra by the famous Spanish composer Joaquín Rodrigo, written in 1939, and is probably Rodrigo's best-known work.

BlackAngel7980 3 years ago
metaphoricly they already have.
in GITS 1 Motoko wakes up after clenching and unclenching her hand.
In GITS 2 Batou clenching his hand and unclenching it while sleeping.
I think the director is sending us a message that Batou and the Major are already connected at a deeper and more profound level then we imagine.
