This is exactly why there needs to be a complete soundtrack that is custom made for films. No music independently made encapsulates the filmmakers vision outside of the context of the film.
This song pretty much summarizes the whole film. Tetsuo starts out insecure and innocent, but then evolves into a tormented, power crazed monster bent on destroying everything in his path. But as Akira reveals himself, everything is devoured, including Tetsuo. As he realizes what he's done to himself, he cries out for Kaneda to help him. Kaneda, being the badass best friend anyone could ask for, dives after Tetsuo, also taken into the blast. But he survives, ready to start anew.
@Daimanius I'm more intelligent than you think. You're a troll just for assuming I was copying them. I just wanted to put in my own opinion. Have fun trolling bro.
@TheBeefyWizard35 You cut chunks out of their remark and place them directly into your own. You might be able to use proper punctuation and grammar but this hardly qualifies you as intelligent. It's also childish to dismiss anyone voicing a lucid yet contrary point as a troll. Own your misdoings and this will stop happening.
The twinkles are playing to show the growth of his power and the duuuuun part of the song is his power at his max and doesn't give a damn no longer, well KANEDA?!?! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOOOOOOOOOOW!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Inception totally ripped this, their idea was also taken from paprika. They should have given some credit to the anime lol When I listen to this song even though I know those parts are most likely done by a trangle I can't help but imagine a bunch of people hitting glasses filled with water lol.
@meapickle I saw it back in the 90s in when I was like 12 when they selling the movie on infommercials. I really didn't understand it but love it. now that I'm 25 I read the manga a few years ago and I just again watch the movie when I downloaded it about a 2 weeks ago, I understand and love it, straight chill. It would be badass if they Remade the movie in HD exactly like the manga, you know how many ppl would kill to c this in theater? Trust me, If I had the money plus n consent I make it.
@meapickle I know it sounds badass!!! Call me crazy but I believe that they not only make anime like this just for entertainment but there is also reality and truth behind it. I would be surprise that the govt. have pills that tap into your psyche like that. Ex: Limitless. The govt. has so much classified shit it's a damn shame. They also say that all the stuff they have classified they don't release to the public one at a time till 16yrs after they classified and play with it. that's crazy.
10SS million this is how much I hope to win on the lottery, and save the world from burning down=SÓ+BLOOD (cut my finger today on a wooden door) + Orange Linen
i like the movie and thank you... really thank u for uploading this amazing song....everytime i hear this song i want to see the movie and it makes me, not the movie but the song, thought-provoking... i love this song... it is more then just a movie soundtrack...
This song perfectly captures the idea of transformation. The childish, twinkling melody slowly descends into a more rapid, tribal beat and as the famous chanting kicks in, we realise that Tetsuo has utterly transformed from an insecure child into a power-crazed monster. This song both captures the lost innocence of his youth and encompasses all the grandiose delusions he had about himself. Basically, this song is about Tetsuo becoming the unhinged monster who destroys the world.
@deadsg1 Really? So you just chose to ignore those little 'rape parties' he had? Or the way he gleefully betrayed his friends? Or perhaps the countless hundreds he massacred without a thought?
@EndreVanan Even a child can be loyal to his friends. Tetsuo killed them the first chance he got. And even a typical hormonal teenager probably doesn't enjoy killing his sexual partners post coitus, which Tetsuo certainly did. I honestly wonder if he was ever a good person at all.
@louthegiantcookie your words are like beams of light, shining down from the heavens! Why do more people not comment with such literacy and composition more often?! I must also add, that as bilashkani (poster of this file) has a spectacular point, in saying that this track plays just before someone gets torn a new a*****e.
but then your going to turn into a mutant blob, crush your girlfriend and then join god/akira in a whole new plane of existence as you prepare yourselves in creation of the next universe
20 years since I first heard saw the movie and heard this music. It still haunts my dreams. Think of that note when the teddy bear starts to bleed during the hallucination. DAAAAHHHN!!!!!!!!!!
DUUUUN!! DUUUUN!! DUN-DUN!!!! God Akira is AWESOME! One, if not my favorate anime movies and manga. Tetsuo is almost compleatly unknown by the greater anime/manga comunity :( Maybe its because people only know him from the movie and not from the ORIGINAL 6 book manga. There he has so much character development and and interesting personality!!
I mean i would say he was the original Vegeta!; only human, and with GODLIKE Psychic powers, telepathy, mind rape abilities, and many more >:)))))
@InfinityWard312 Umm, can you clarify what you mean? (unless you are refering to Tetsuo, in which case; no offence, but; you are the one thats wrong -_-, either that or you never actualy read the original Manga ~_~)
@InfinityWard312 Actually Akira was one of the anime's that helped introduce Anime in general to the west...so yes, It was important in some was (true, it may not be the first for its kind ^_^)
On Vegeta; yes, i said him because have simularitues. E.G: they are both anti-social, they both have problems accepting that there rival is better than them (this is slightly different however, since while Vegeta's motivation is to become more powerful than Goku; Tetsuo had an inferiority complex).
@VoidOmega111 Although I like the manga better, I gotta say he had more emotion/personality in the movie. I don't feel like we got much out of his personality in the manga before he gained his powers, even after he just came off as rude, impatient, kinda cocky. I also didn't even know about that inferiority complex thing until I saw the movie. I do like the manga better because there's so much going on it, always wondering what's going to happen next even if you already know lol
@MisterBankz Thx for the responce! Haha. I understand :) Well, In my experiance it was easy to find out about Tetsuo's personality more since I watched the Anime movie and THEN the manga.I agree that the movie did personify Tetsuo better than the manga, BUT; as you said, the manga has many different twists and turns in it that make it very enjoyable! ^_^
I am so thoroughly pleased that this hasn't been removed through copyright infringement. Perhaps FOR ONCE these companies realise that there are people who own copies of this movie, and just LOVE the fact that they can refer to this!!!
The instrumental version of the album is called Akira Symphonic Suite. You can buy it on Amazon. I saw it in a store in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles once.
Evil, with a sense of child's like play. (I'm referring to the twinkle sounds during throughout this song). It almost reminds me of Dead Space's ambient music. But anyways, if they had remastered the AKIRA soundtrack on CD today or on bluray, it would be nice. =)
BTW- I always loved how the Geinoh Yamashirogumi implemented vocal sounds as musical notes.
Such as the "piron" in the creepy scene where the dolls come to life in the hospital. The sound is mimicking the pluck of a stringed instrument. Though doing these sounds vocally provides an interesting sound.
