KNT Music

[Teyandee]

IIRC, it's used while Yattarou's training near Daisensei's house in KNT 38 "Taose Karamaru! Nimida, Namida no Daifukkatsu"

Yes it is.

But I'm pretty sure it was never actually used during a Hissatsu scene

It seems to be true
And that`s good - Hissatsu! Neko Me SURASSHU is more "cool" and appropriate track for the attack.

I thought everyone might like to know there was a new cover version of 'Ottodokkoi Nihonbare' released recently.  On a collection of chiptune versions of anime themes, Picomoe! Future8bit Series 3 ~8bit de Mirai Ryokou~.  Arrangement by Iwano Michiro, Vocals by Masako Ookouchi.  There is a brief clip at the site (track 11) though it doesn't really do the full version justice.

I clicked on the link and it says I have to buy it , i wish it was a free download then i would use a happy face like these

Here it is - I have attached it:

For the article about a KNT music I tried to romanize names of songs` artists/authors/composers. I guess it will be easier to recognize them by romanized names (example - Itabashi Ami instead of 板橋亜美.)
Names in Japanese were taken from http://nunagasea.net/nns/chronicle/1980/1990/teyandee/teyandee.htm

谷沢伶奈 - Yazawa Rena
真名杏樹 - Mana Anzuki
池　毅 - Ike Takeshi
山川恵津子 - Yamakawa Etsuko
折笠　愛 - Ai Orikasa
水谷優子 - Mizutani Yuuko
加藤みちあき - Katou Michiaki
武井浩之 - Takei Hiroyuki
川村万梨阿 - Kawamura Maria
渡部なつみ - Watanabe Natsumi
尾関昌也 - Ozeki Masaya
原 一博 - Hara Kazuhiro
板橋亜美 - Itabashi Ami
山寺宏一 - Yamadera Kouichi
こおろぎさとみ - Koorogi Satomi
山口勝平 - Yamaguchi Kappei
小杉十郎太 - Kosugi Jūrōta (Juurouta)

Feel free to correct any error you will find.

One thing is that you should keep name order consistent. For most of the names, you're using the Japanese family-name-first style, but the Western given-name-first style for Ai Orikasa (it should be Orikasa Ai if you want it to fit with the rest).

谷沢伶奈 - Yazawa Reina ("i" was missing). This is confirmed by the packaging of the KNT OP/ED record.
真名杏樹 - All web references to a lyricist with this name seem to point to "Mana Anju".
池毅 - Ike Takeshi, correct.
山川恵津子 - Yamakawa Etsuko, correct.
折笠愛 - Orikasa Ai (as I mentioned earlier, watch the name order).
水谷優子 - Mizutani Yuuko, correct.
加藤みちあき - Katou Michiaki, correct.
武井浩之 - Takei Hiroyuki, correct.
川村万梨阿 - Kawamura Maria, correct.
渡部なつみ - Having a hard time finding confirmation for the family name for this one. Given name is obviously "Natsumi" since it's in kana.
尾関昌也 - Ozeki Masaya seems to be correct.
原一博 - Hara Kazuhiro, correct.
板橋亜美 - Itabashi Ami, correct.
山寺宏一 - Yamadera Kouichi, correct.
こおろぎさとみ - Koorogi Satomi, correct.
山口勝平 - Yamaguchi Kappei, correct.
小杉十郎太 - Kosugi Jurouta; according to the Japanese Wikipedia article, the "Ju" has a short "u".

One person you missed:

尾張守荒川NEN-Q之進 - I'm having a hard time finding confirmation for this one, but according to Daisensei it's "Owari-no-kami Arakama NEN-Q-no-shin". What a mouthful.

felineki
Thank you!!! 

As for the family/given name order - I want to use both:
1) Original family-name-first order since all of the mentioned people are from Japan
2) Given-name-first style more recognizable outside the Japan.

For example, for "Battle In Flash" one can write:
Artist: Ami Itabashi (板橋亜美 Itabashi Ami)

Will that be correct?

[felineki]

Yes, that should work perfectly.

[Teyandee]

Ok.

[Daniel P.]

Here it is - I have attached it:

I can use this instead of teyandee express as the opening (if i use this the opening will be 30 seconds long)

[Fureon]

谷沢伶奈 - Yazawa Reina ("i" was missing). This is confirmed by the packaging of the KNT OP/ED record.

...
OK, I changed "Rena" to "Reina" in all SPC Wikipedia entries and MyAnimeList.

[felineki]

One update: The lyricist whose name pronunciation I was having trouble confirming does seem to be "Watanabe Natsumi". However it's written with different kanji: 渡辺なつみ The site you were referencing probably made a mistake with her name.

Made corrections.

In KNT closing credits, the second line of "To be yourself (TV Size)" is written in Hiragana:



おさえられない きようのせつなさを.

However lyrics from the KNT CD Liner Notes also include Kanji:
押えられない 今日の切なさを

(See http://www.edoropolis.org/tigriss/ToBeYourself.gif for the "To be yourself" lyrics).

Why was that done?

[Fureon]

Hiragana is much easier for karaoke.
Most of the anime openings and endings include kana AND kanji, some have just kana, but never kanji alone.

[Teyandee]

Yes, you right.
Interesting fact about the anime credits - didn`t knew it. 

[Fureon]

However keep in mind this rule only applies when karaoke is inserted in the OP/ED by the creators themselves.
Fansubbing groups often ignore it.

For example, here's the official Hokuto No Ken opening without any fan subtitles.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHy--NKdSnA" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHy--NKdSnA</a>

It has karaoke and shows small hiragana characters above the kanji for the lyrics.
KNT shows just kana.

[sjonnoh]

there's this one song of knt, which I don't think it's somewhere to find, it's a soundtrack which has been used in episode 5 at 15:48 (when otama calls for Rikinoshin). or is it that I just don't have all the knt ost? 

[felineki]

That's one of the pieces that wasn't released on either of the CDs. I made a MIDI of it as heard in that scene a while ago. But it turns out that it's not really the whoke song, a more complete version of it is heard in some other episode.

[Teyandee]

KNT shows just kana.

Actually - some Kanji is used too. For example 日本晴れ (Nihonbare) in the "Ottodokkoi Nihonbare" or きみの物語は (Kimi no monogatari wa) in "To Be Yourself".

too bad it's not released, yours sounds pretty good
