]]> http://www.evageeks.org/2011/06/new-psp-game-eva-sound-impact/feed/ 1 Evangelion 2.22 New scenes http://www.evageeks.org/2010/05/evangelion-2-22-new-scenes/ http://www.evageeks.org/2010/05/evangelion-2-22-new-scenes/#comments Sat, 08 May 2010 22:21:53 +0000 SailorStarDust http://www.evageeks.org/?p=1188 The Noguchi version screening of 2.22 occurred in Hakone yesterday, and one of the Evangelion blogs discussed the new additions to the film.

Spoilers in the rest of this post!

The first big addition involves a discussion between Shinji, Toji, and Kensuke when Kaji arrives to Japan. The second addition involves the 3 pilots (Asuka, Shinji, and Rei) at a synchro test, which is where Asuka says her new line (mentioned awhile back in Eva Extra 06) “What a shame!”. The blog states that Asuka’s line is “so splendidly nonchalant that you feel cheated”.

Little additions include the following (several of which are in the 2.22 promotional video):

    *Eva-01 jumping over a bridge and takes a bunch of water with her during the 8th Angel catching scene.
    *Eva-03 being air-lifted.
    *Eva-02 back-flipping during the 10th Angel battle.
    *The 10th Angel attacking a building.

According to the blog, the supplement cuts are a welcome addition to the film and are meant for the fans.

Also worth noting according to the blog is the arrangement of “Please Give Me Wings” (the Noguchi version, “I Would Give You Anything”) has a similar clap-along feeling to “Komm, Susser Tod” from EoE (and also has a similar tone of returning to nothing as a result of 3rd Impact).

EDIT:

Detailed information has been given from the Min na no Eva Fan blog.

First off, it mentions the June issue of Newtype has an Interview with Maaya Sakamoto (Mari) and Tsurumaki.

The new cuts according to the blog are as follows:

    *Eva-02 is shown transported after its first-battle.
    *Kaji arrives in Japan, seemingly at a train station. Shinji and the boys meet him there.
    *Misato has free time, sitting at headquarters. The activation test is when she receives Asuka’s “What a shame!”.
    *Aida-kun is called out in the classroom.
    *In the Eva 2.22 PV and Eva-Extra 06, Eva-03 is shown being transported. It passes through a thundercloud.
    *Eva-03′s entry plug is shown being collected after the battle.
    *The Eva 2.22 PV showed Mari backflipping in Eva-02. The 10th Angel’s attack is increased from there on.

What’s bizarre is nothing was mentioned about the 3 pilots synch test on the Mina no Eva blog, which also seems to imply Asuka’s new line is during the talk with Misato instead of the synchro test… I suppose we’ll just have to wait until the film is out to see how things really are.

I noticed today that the 2 releases were up in the Evangelion Store for pre-order for 3,500 円. The expected release date is on November 26th of this year for both.

The both sets are 2 discs, one is a music CD and the other a CD-ROM containing PDF’s of the scores, and a booklet containing a performance guide and interviews. The performances in this CD include the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra, a Murata Youiti group and a Sagisu group. The Murata Youti group consists of flutes, clarinets, oboes, a full brass section, bass, vibes, and a percussion section including drums. The Sagisu group consists of a full brass section, piano, synthesizers, guitar, electric and acoustic bass, and drums. Yoko Takahashi is the guest lead vocalist.

I’m no expert on Evangelion OST’s, so I only recognize the songs from watching the movies and I’m not sure what versions/differences there are from the readily available OSTs. Still worth a mention since these are “music videos” for Evangelion. (Warning: may have some Evangelion 2.0 spoilers in these videos, although it’s mostly trailer footage)

You need an account in order to watch videos on Nico, it’s all in Japanese but it’s not hard to sign up.

And now, according to the free promotional newsletter EVA EXTRA 02 that began distribution today, Utada is on 2.0′s staff for “Theme Song”. The name of the song hasn’t been announced yet, though.

The EVA EXTRA issues seem to be each taking their cover from whatever trailer debuted earlier that month. (Lazy as we are, we didn’t cover the first issue in a news blurb, so here’s the cover of that.) According to the official movie site, we still have one issue to go, to be released in the second half of June. Odds are, its cover will come from a third trailer that will help supply a final burst of hype for the film. And, it seems like there’s a pretty good chance that the new song will make its debut there.

Check out the Eva Emergency Blog link for some sketches in EVA EXTRA 2 by assistant director Kazuya Tsurumaki. (The first volume featured Asuka, so the blogger rather reasonably speculates that we’ll get Mari in the third.) By the way: Anybody with a copy of these EVA EXTRA things, post some high-res scans somewhere. Please?

Well, albums, technically. A translation of the main contents (hopefully no major inaccuracies):

Evangelion New Theatrical Edition: Breakup Original Soundtrack SPECIAL EDITION (Tentative Title)
Planned Album Contents
Disc 1: Approx. 30 pieces of BGM used in the actual film
Disc 2: Approx. 30 pieces of BGM, full length version or otherwise
Music: Shiro Sagisu
First Pressing: Comes in box
Scheduled to include a 20-page booklet
KICA-983～4
Price: 3,300 円 (pre-tax)（2 discs）

The regular version will go on sale concurrently.

Evangelion New Theatrical Edition: Breakup Original Soundtrack
Includes Disc 1 from the “Special Edition”
Music: Shiro Sagisu
Scheduled to include a 12-page booklet
KICA-985
Price: 2,800 円 (pre-tax)

The distinction being made between BGM as “used in the actual film” and “full length versions” is … interesting. The only other time I’ve seen “full length version” has been in the context of opening and ending songs — both the TV edits and the full length recordings are typically released to album. Why would they bother releasing pared-down versions of the BGM, though, especially when all the tracks at “full length*” don’t exceed the space on one disc? (Obvious cynical answers aside.) Strange……

* “…or otherwise”. Not entirely sure what the 他 in フルサイズバージョン他 is meant to imply.
