Track Info, Streaming links & Review:

from Kasumisty's post here and penguintruth's post here. The music links are courtesy of Kasumisty. ( Thank you, both!! )

(Click on the links to listen to the music! ^^)

Track 01: Main Theme ~The Fullmetal Alchemist~
Kasumisty: Very mysterious, dark waltz. I just love that sad chores at the end. And overall, that opera-ish/symphonic feel of the whole soundtrack, especially this and few other scores.
penguintruth: This one is, I guess, the "Bratja" of the new series? I don't know, but supposedly it's the "main theme". I only remember hearing this particular track a few times, though, a rarity when it comes to this soundtrack. It's not a bad piece. It sort of reminds me of something Hiroshi Miyagawa might have done for Final Yamato

Track 02: Laws of Alchemy
Kasumisty: Our "trailer" score xd Gives me pleasant chills (except thought we had to listen it at lots of beginnings of early episodes...). Gradually, music is getting more louder leaving one anxious. Love it.
penguintruth: This one played frequently during the "rules of alchemy" openings the show used to have before the opening credits, and during the trailers. It's got an ominous feel to it.

Track 03: again (TV Size) (YUI)
Kasumisty: I don't think I need to explain why I love this one. The best opening of FMA ever made.

Track 04: Nightfall in Central City
Kasumisty: I'd say it's a very pathos piece. It gets more calm and warm around the middle. I think it'd made a great Amestrian's Army Anthem.

Track 05: Fire in the Sky
Kasumisty: Again, a darker piece. Nothing really to expand there.

Track 06: Clash of the Alchemists
Kasumisty: Another score of the firsts I heard. It was in a trailer as well. Powerful piece, very "catchy", I'd say. And Trademark of Brotherhood.
penguintruth: We get this one during some combat scenes. Featured in the first episode. I remember hearing it in the trailers for the show.

Track 07: Lurking
Kasumisty: Made my hands bury in the chair/bed/anything I'm sitting on while listening to this. Mysterious.
penguintruth: This little creepy tune usually plays when somebody is up to something. It has a fitting title.

Track 08: Mist
Kasumisty: Calm. But kinda sad and dangerous.

Track 09: Spiral of Truth
Kasumisty: Jaws theme! Make my eyes go wide and search for a shark's fin XD

Track 10: Mortal Sin
Kasumisty: God, the part that starts at 0:23. Danger is coming, time to hide under a bed. o.o We also have chores here. One of my favorite pieces.

Track 11: One is All, All is One
Kasumisty: Melancholic, sad ballad. Reminds of the past.
penguintruth: This one starts off as a bit of a somber piece, but is perhaps more sobering than sad, ultimately. Just looking at the title, makes you think of the coming into the knowledge the brothers came to when learning alchemy from their teacher.

Track 12: Requiem for the Brigadier General
Kasumisty: If some songs are sad, this is a real tear jerker. Make me lay with eyes closed and think of various things...
penguintruth: This one, I'm sure we all remember, from episode 10, and its sad funeral scene. The first series used a somewhat similar tune for the same scene, but this is a softer version of a recurring theme.

Track 13: Uso (TV Size) (SID)
Kasumisty: One of the best ending songs. Better than Let it out by visuals(d'aww that drawings), but losts by lyrics and voice of Fukuhara Miho.

Track 14: Lullaby of Resembool
Kasumisty: Symphonic version of Trisha's lullaby. I will describe it when I get to track no 21. I simply prefer the latter.
penguintruth: I like this one, very... journey-ish? It sounds like the music to a song about a hero who came from far away. It's a beautiful tune.

Track 15: Interlude
Kasumisty: A lighter score at least. Make me relax.

Track 16: Hologram (Tv Size) (NICO Touches the Walls)
Kasumisty: Catchy opening, meaningless lyrics. :f

Track 17: Far East suite
Kasumisty: Beautiful. Reminds me of old Disney's songs. Oriental.

Track 18: Beneath the City
Kasumisty: ...somone is spying on me...wah.

Track 19: Fifth Laboratory
Kasumisty: Another favorite piece. Brilliant composition. I like the rising and descending notes. Make me all tense up.

Track 20: Fanfare of the Brave
Kasumisty: Another (in my opinion) Brotherhood's trademark song. Sharp strings, similar to those in track no 01.
penguintruth: [i]This one builds up real well, until you get the feeling of action and movement.

Track 21: Trisha's lullaby

Here're the lyrics in Latin:


Dormite liberi,

Dulci pueri dormite, caloris et,

Commodus Vester lecti boni.


Osservo te, semper te,

Latus tui costa te, autem solus, mitite,

Latus tui hic sum.


In somninum plati

Floridus plena, dormite liberi

Dulci mei dormite


Mitite liberi,

Sine pater autem, mitite, liberi,

Visi te tua mater.


Osservo te, semper te,

Latus tui costa te, liberi sine sentite,

Momentum dormite.


In conclave sine mater.

Conclave dum dies saperis...

...someone know Latin? I tried to translate and it's simply a lullaby directed to Ed and Al, there is something about their father as well.

Kasumisty: This piece is magnificent. It's so melancholic, sentimental. As the title shows us, this is a lullaby, an escape from real, cruel world.
penguintruth: This is a vocal version of "Lullaby of Risembool", and seems like that song I was talking about.

Track 22: Concerto ~Brotherhood~
Kasumisty: Hopeful. Tells us that "everything's not okay yet, there are still wounds to heal, but we're on right track".

Track 23: Hum of the Streets
Kasumisty: Rustle and bustle...Song didn't fit into my tastes.

Track: 24: Beyond the Walls
Kasumisty: Another melancholic score. Somewhat, not really noticable, another (just) good piece. Gets a lot better at the beginning (kinda reminds me of Morrowind game...)

Track 25: Next Chapter
Kasumisty: Just don't like it. Too much is going on in this song.

Track 26: Home ~en route to Resembool~
Kasumisty: So optimistic, it makes me all happy and mushy inside. I rock to this song every time I hear it. Tam tam tam...

Track 27: Lapis Philosophorum (or, "The Philosopher's Stone")

Here're the lyrics in Latin:
(For translations, please check Blacksteel's post here.)


Lapis philosophorum lapis ruber lapis quantus

sacrificium vis caputo felicitas


Debes sapio debes ibi multa miseria tua retro

calamitatis habes saputo felicitas


Ubi es inpedis terra e tem pus anteactus

sapies eo quam erant cadeveris infinitatis.


Debes sapio debes ibi multa miseria tua retro

calamitatis habes saputo felicitas


Ubi es inpedis terra e tem pus anteactus

sapies eo quam erant cadeveris infinitatis.


Specta mortuus specta si denuo desiderium

sapies habebis tueri sanguinem brachi pedis rubus,

Lapis philosophorum, lapis ruber affecto quam res...?

Kasumisty: Wow... This bgm is alike as Trisha's Lullaby, but at the same time it's very different. Sang in Pathos style (and Latin language only adds fuel to it - everything in Latin looks smart xD), but the melody gives the song sad vibre. I think it's my most favorite piece.
penguintruth: This is the big boy of the soundtrack, the grandest, biggest stand out track. This is what we heard in episode 1 when Isaac realized the truth behind Ed and Al's bodies. The best track on the OST by far.

Track 28: Happiness ~Requiem from "Blind Alchemist"~
Kasumisty: Some frigging tear-jerking music Akira Senju gave us... I got the whole scale from little sad to fcking tear-jerks. This is around the end of it. The melody sounds like from a child's musical box. Which makes me baww few times more.

Track 29: Home ~a house on the hill~
Kasumisty: Italian-restaurant one? Cannot decide if I like it or not.

Track 30: Overture ~Brotherhood~
Kasumisty: Another FMA:B™... It's pretty. Would like to see song like that at the end of the story.
penguintruth: This has that "epic melodrama" feel to it, real sweeping. Almost soap opera like, but not as cheesy. More like the music from serialized mini-series dramas.

Track 31: LET IT OUT (TV Size) (Fukuhara Miho)
Kasumisty: When I heard it first time, it seemed very generic to me. Now I love it.

omg if this is going to be the opening for the new season.... then that would be so sweet. i really like the song. it is really catchy.

which song are u talkin bout..

Merged fma_milan_freak's "New FMA Opening/Ending themes" thread to existing "Soundtrack & Op/Ed themes for new FMA-2" thread.

So the OP and ED have been chosen? I know neither of those...but there will be more than one OP and ED, so there could be others.

After hearing the full version of Bacchikoi!!!, I request an ED by Dev Parade. There must be!

`

It was confirmed that the band Sid has been chosen to sing one of the ending theme songs for the series: Sid Website. I believe that their new single "Uso" for the series is set to release April 29th, 2009. Supposedly there have been rumours going around some of the BBS boards that the female band Chatmonchy was chosen to sing one of the ending themes. It is probably best to discard this rumour until more information is found.

i think they'll get l'arc en ciel back. if they get nana kitade back then i'll be happy

^Tough luck, so L'arc-en~ciel or whatever they're called.

The confirmation of the first ending being "Uso" by SID is further confirmed from the release date of that single (April 29th) being listed as ED01 to Fullmetal Alchemist 2

If i remember it correctly, I think the op artist is YUI and the song has yet to be decided. Oh, I like YUI's songs!

^ According to the official FMA-2 JP site, the opening song is "Again" by YUI.

The official site has the music composer listed as Akira Senju. Sorry if it's old news, but I didn't see it mentioned yet.

From what I'm reading not too many people seem to know enough or care enough about the music to reply to this topic
In my opinion, they're gonna choose artists who need the tie-in, in the first season for example I remember they used Porno Graffiti and Crystal Kay whom at the time weren't as popular as they are now. I just saw on youtube the video that confirms the first opening, YUI's 'again', and it made me think about the kind of musicians they're gonna be using for the OP/EDs. It's hard to predict but I can only cross my fingers

abe mao, misono; they're kind of rock/pop and i think they'd fit perfectly for the openings as well as WRONG SCALE (they sound exactly like ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION)
leyona, maki chang and yuna ito hava amazing voices and they sing ballads (piano, acoustic) and it kind of suits the mood of an ending doesn't it?

Everybody should check them out, but I'm sure whoever they choose will be awesome too

Hey guys, I'm new here! Greetings from Brazil!

I registered in order to post this here: FMA2 Opening - Again by YUI
(Link is no longer valid... sorry!!)

It's the full song. I like it.

Oh, and very useful thread. Thanks for the info.


Edit: Here's the video with the japanese lyrics YUI- Again with lyrics
If someone would be able and kind to translate it, it would be awesome. ^^

Here is the full ending: Broken link!
(Link is no longer valid... sorry!!)

I just hope they have the russian orchestra for this series too... the music was AMAZING in the first

Thank you BlackSwordsman and SonPan!!
And, welcome to our board, BlackSwordsman!!

Nice songs!! I like them!! ^^

I just watched the show and I'm very disappointed by the Score Its ok but its nothing in comparison to the Russian Orchestra with Ooshima Michiru it lacks the feeling and emotion that was given in the 1st Full Metal... For the cute parts the music fits nicely but when there trying to bring in dare i say "epic" into the more serious/climatic moments it dosn't sound "big" enough, although i did like the attempt with the choir but yet again did not have the emotion from the 1st full metal.

Sadly i will miss it was one of my favourite aspects of Full Metal having a very good score but thats not going to keep me from enjoying the anime!! but i probably wont buy the Score Soundtracks this time

Personally, I really liked the score on this one. The last battle scene sounded so epic! It was a bit like from a fantasy movie, but heck, I love fantasy movie soundtracks, anyway.

I do see your point, though. The score in the original FMA truly was something. But since it's all new FMA, I guess they wanted to make a new fresh style to it, including with the music. I don't know.

I remember in series one, "Brothers" was an important song, and had like, 5 versions.

I can't help but wonder if it'll be remixed and thrown in there or if it'll have a 2nd series counterpart...

~ Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Opening On Piano: Again - by Yui ~

Got bored and decided to play it on the piano! Enjoy!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eHtJUUKNSI

@DaTong - Welcome to our board!!
That was awesome!!
Wow, with just a piano playing, I can get the feel of the score clearly!!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!


(Later I will merge this to "FMA Brotherhood anime OP/ED OST" thread, but I will keep this here for a while. ^^)


ETA: June 3, 2009 Merged thread.

DaTong, Welcome!

All i can say is, wow!
It was beautiful! and such amazing piano playing.

I loved it!

Thank you so much for this =D I enjoying listening to it

Welcome Datong! You are a phenomenal pianist and you really hit the nail on the head with this song here! What a fabulous job! Great work! *two thumbs waaaaaaay up*

DaTong, Welcome!!

Wooooooooow !!!

awesome work \'o'/

you are very skillful !!

I enjoyed it \^o^/

Anyone else have seen on the net this interesting information about newest NewType? They say that Newtype has announced the new OP and ED for FMA:B

OP: "Hologram" by NICO Touches the Walls
ED: "LET IT OUT" by Miho Fukuhara

...it says...and I've seen it on many forums already and this information about OP and ED is also on FMA:B page on ANN.

I was going to post it and saw your entry GAH! So much info @__@

And like I always said, we will get the new one once Greed arrives.

Link to ANN here: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encycloped...me.php?id=10216

Thanks for the news, Alzea and amestris_star! I'm curious about the new OP and ED! I hope they will be as good as the recent ones.

I wonder what the new OP and ED will be like. I've grown accustomed to the current ones.

I bet they'll put the Xingese characters in it. Maybe even Father.

Considering they put the Xerxes "ruins", young Hoho and Greed, they will put in spoilers... I have the suspiscion they might put in, briefly, a Roy vs. Lust thing at the very end... in the OP obviously.

Oh wow @_@ Missed that info

I can't wait! Are these new songs or have they existed before? Dying to hear them *_*

Oh. Oficcial site has the division of the episodes (STORY section) 1-10 (Like, it was first season) and then 11-20. Could themes be changed by the next episode?

Anyways, found example songs by that performers:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-lRcrxdRWs by NICO touches the wall (it's ok I guess)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkQvvuNbr6o by Miho Fukuhara (ending will be sang by a woman...and the song is actually pretty.)

Oh, the ED is a woman singer? So they abandoned the pattern of girls singing the OP and guys singing the ED, which would've been the opposite of FMA1.

Aw Thank you Kasumisty! It's great to hear them!

I agree, the second song with Miho Fukuhara is really really beautiful

Apparently the new OP/ED will be starting with the 15th episode. Makes sense since that is when the new series will officially split from the old series. I am expecting some manga only characters to be featured in the OP. I can't wait.

@ Kirara: Thanks for the info! So we have 4 more episodes to enjoy "Again" and "Uso." I hope we get to see Ling and Mei

@Alzea, amestris_star, Kasumisty, and Kirara, thank you for the info!!!

@Kirara - Where was the source of that info??

Like kkg22104 said, I'm gonna enjoy the current OP/ED while they last, and looking forward to the debuts of new ones ^^

Thanks for the new info, Kirara!

I think we'll definitely see Ling, Mei and other new characters in the 2nd OP. I'm looking forward to it!
So only 4 more episodes with Again and Uso. I loved those, so let's hope the new ones will be awsome, too.

OT:

And hopefully by then people would stop b!tching about redundancy in the new FMA series...

*still secretly hopes that Kugimiya Rie will dub Mei's voice*

That would be pretty funny Is there any news on Ling's and Mei's voice actors yet?

@kkg22104 - Your post (quoted above) was moved to FMA:B Japanese VA discussion thread as it was an off-topic post here.
Please continue discussions on Japanese VAs there.

~ Now please resume regular discussions.

~ Music From The Last Alchemist ~

Does anybody knows,where can I find saundtracks from Brotherhood:"Again","Uso"?Please....

@Higurashi - Welcome to our board! I don't have a time to go over them to find them for you, but I think there were links posted on either FMA: Brotherhood Soundtrack & OP/ED discussion thread, or on FMA: Brotherhood OPs (sound & image) discussion thread & on FMA: Brotherhood EDs (sound & image) discussion thread (if links are still good.) Hope you can check them out. Or, if some others have them hopefully some can share with you.

Anyway, this thread is in the wrong (non-FMA Music) forum, so I will move this to FMA Brotherhood anime discussion forum in a while, and later merge this thread to FMA: Brotherhood Soundtrack & OP/ED discussion thread.

ETA: Thread merged.

==============

~ Now please resume regular discussions.

Remember, starting episode 15 (scheduled airing date in Japan.. July 12, 2009) we will have a new OP & ED!!

OP: 'Hologram' by NICO Touches the Walls
ED: 'LET IT OUT' - by Miho FUKUHARA (福原美穂)

based on the commercial,i quite like the new op.i hope the ed will be as good.

Link (both are for the same site ^^) to listen to the new ED, posted by Alzea and paca.

i like FMA: Brotherhood op 1, YUI - Again
that's such a nice song!

You can see both the OP and ED on Random Curiosity here.

The songs aren't as good, but the opening animation is so awesome! Tons and tons of foreshadowing. Ending is...eh, nothing new.

Opening animation is awesome! Music is normal, but animation is AWESOME.

New OP sequence seemed to share a lot of cues with the opening sequences in the first series, especially the fourth. There were some pretty exciting moments in it, though. It's too bad the song is bland, no match for "Again".

The second ED is just sort of... there. I guess it's sort of traquil, but it's not as fun as the first.

It's definitely not comparable to Again, but it's not that bad... It just doesn't have the impact effect that the first OP had. However, some of the animation sequences are awesome: in need to watch it again in HQ.

And the ED... normal ending stuff, not as exciting as Uso

EDIT: However... the more I'm listening to them, both, the more I'm liking them... 5 hours after.

I really loved the new opening, and the animation was beautiful! The song was quite good, IMO. The ending was also pretty good, though I prefered the opening.

I like the new OP and ED, but I still prefer Again and Uso.

The animation of the OP is really awesome! I loved that it showed a lot of foreshadowing scenes for the further episodes.

The ED had nothing special, the song was nice.

havn't seen the end yet but the op was nice, foreshadowinggggggggggg, forshadowingggggggggggg! I don't think it was as good as again but that opening was epic by like all anime standards and would be realllly hard to top, this opening is great compared to loads of other openings, and in my opinion is better than all the openings from the first fma anime
