Left - IMERUAT 

That part reminds me so much of Eternal Fight from FFXIII-2 and I love it

+Luc Ta Hamauzu-san composed it too 🙄

Luc Ta Definitely, I can hear that

It's found in a lot of modern jazz, he must've gotten influence from there

Sounds like an F#m9 chord, which sounds really awesome since it's a bit of modal mixture within C major. The full progression starting with those pizzicato strings sounds like Cmaj7 - Dm9 - F#m9 - Fmaj7 (#11). God I love Hamauzu

Luc Ta Yep, that’s it! Not a lot of composers use it :(

@@LeMelleKH2 Yeah. I've heard chords like this get used by Foreign Exchange.

I think that the voice over Giant is an essential part of the piece. I agree that the music is magnificent and could do well alone, but Hamauzu's idea is deeper and more complex. The alarming tone of the gloomy text in Giant gives a better understanding of the video, and a fascinating contrast with the music. At time they synchronize: (at 2:33 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j--BPcCaeQU.html ) the music gets darker, Mina's face seems to listen gravely to the voice, and it reveals about those who did not survive the authoritarian crisis with the Giant. That poses a serious question: what does Hamauzu's powerful joy represent? Distraction from those deadly threats, or the force to overcome them?
