As the title says…which song still haunts you emotionally? And why? A (freely accessible) link might greatly bring your point across.

Mine would be: (Typhoon - “Empiricist”) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E328pIZWFM

The lyrics go deep and it just touches me. No otherwise special attachment.

      Kenji Kawai is such an amazing composer. I didn’t know about that particular composition you linked to (and thank you for sharing, it’s great!) but I know he made soundtracks for both Ghost in the Shell animated movies, which are so, so good. Here’s what I think is a medley of the Ghost in the Shell soundtrack played live. It opens with Making of a Cyborg, one of the most iconic pieces of the first movie.

      I also really liked the 2nd song! I’m not sure but is her name Hako Yamasaki? Just so I can look for more of her stuff.

        Kawai totally is! And I guessed you didn’t know, coz that Movie the song is from is super old. Yet still stuck thanks to the amazing soundtrack! GITS is also cool, yes!

        Aye, it’s Hako Yamasaki-san. Boomer-material I guess. Though we’re both not ,-)

          I guess, haha. Not like we care all that much, though, if it’s good music, that’s all that matters. When I listened to the song you posted, I was reminded of YUKI, although they’re quite a bit different. YUKI has more arrangements and incorporates more instruments into her songs. Also, her voice is a bit weird, being very nasal, but I really love it, makes her have a very unique tone.

            True, I don’t care where from or from what time-period. I usually also separate the artist from the art. And sometimes even the lyrics from the song :) Yuki sounds interesting indeed. Gonna need to re-hear later this day :)
