What is the importance of animation music?

No animation is without music. Regardless of the op, ed, and BGM, they are all important parts.

Here I don’t want to discuss animation like “Strawberry Marshmallow” with almost no background music, nor do I want to talk about “. "hack//" is the kind of work where the music dilutes the main body. I just want to talk about the music in general works.

Attention! The music I'm talking about is not just music, but what is expressed in animation works. Once animated music is separated from the animation background, it will lose some meaning and even give people a completely different feeling. Some people with animation experience may know the short musical film "On Your Mark". Before it was adapted into an animation by Miyazaki Jun, this song had no reputation at all. When this song was spotted by a company and wanted to be used as a promotional song, Miyazaki Jun was asked to make a matching animation. Countless Japanese people bought tickets time and time again to watch the six-minute masterpiece, and the song became widely circulated. This cannot be achieved by a simple six-minute plot or music alone, but the two together have such an effect. A few days ago, I downloaded the BGM of "Keroro", but it sounded like noise alone, which disappointed me. It was far different from the effect when listening to the animation while watching it. But if you think about it carefully, anime music should sometimes be savored while watching animation.

Music is to animated works what expressions are to people

I can’t imagine an animation without music, just as I can’t imagine a person who speaks without expression. The content or plot alone may appear empty, just like how embarrassing it is for a person to say "I love you" expressionlessly. Without music, animation loses its soul ------- "Forever Love" touched the hearts of so many people when it was played at the end of the theatrical version of "X", not only for the work, but even for life. After thinking about it, this song supported the entire animation scene in my opinion, and it has also become a beautiful memory for countless people. When "Always" was sung in "Countdown to Heaven", as a Conan fan, I not only lamented the completion of the work, but also thought of the previous scenes, the love affair between Shinichi and Ran, and my own destination. Just as the piano version of "White Night" slowly flows through the work, the moods of myself and Daisuke are echoing. Music is the essence of the soul of the work. It sometimes foreshadows it silently, and sometimes expresses it passionately. own feelings.

We may not have watched the OP and ED of the work, but when a work that we watch with our heart is finished, we should savor it. After the completion of "Heartbeat Days", I listened to it several times. Watching the opening credits, my heart was filled with passion and memories of the work. As for the BGM, it should be experienced more in the original work. The music played during each duel in "Soul of the Chess" is still fresh in my memory, as if it is a flag that constantly inspires people; when the magnificent battlefield music of "Inuyasha" plays, I feel the tension and excitement as if I were personally on the battlefield... ,

Some emotions can never be expressed in words. Only music can convey them to the heart. Facing the silence after confession, only music can express the thoughts in the heart. When a person stands quietly on the mountain and overlooks the distance, only music can convey his thoughts; when a person lies down due to decadence, only music can express his inner struggle. Music has created countless classic scenes in animation!

There is no doubt that our animation journey is also accompanied by music. We have memories of music starting from "Fantasy of Pegasus" in "Saint Seiya". So when "Dragon Ball" was on the air, "Drogan Ball" became a popular song. When "Slam Dunk" was aired, there was an even more enthusiastic trend of learning to sing. These may have become synonymous with classics. As long as you sing them, the feeling at that time will continue to flow into your heart and you will be moved. Music and anime may always be the most important thing to me!
