YAMANAIAME ＜FMv＞
MovieYAMANAIAME ＜FMv＞ is a vocal reworking of the soundtrack piece YAMANAIAME, built around singer Mica Caldito and the music of Hiroyuki Sawano. The track appears on the album theDOGS and later resurfaces on the second disc of the Season 2 Original Soundtrack for Attack on Titan.
Overview
Placed second on theDOGS, this song later gains a second home as track thirteen on disc two of "Attack on Titan" Season 2 Original Soundtrack. Hiroyuki Sawano handles both composition and arrangement, as he does across the series' early score. The bracketed portion of the title stands for "Featuring Mica version," pointing to vocalist Mica Caldito, who fronts this take on the piece.
Plot
Musically, the piece revisits YAMANAIAME in remixed form rather than presenting new material. Its English lyrics, penned by Benjamin and mpi, sketch a battlefield state of mind: young recruits trading toys for weapons, grief over fallen comrades, nightmares of the Walls giving way, and a stubborn refusal to stop chasing freedom even while the singer feels themselves coming apart.
Reception
The track runs 4 minutes and 27 seconds. It first shipped with theDOGS on July 1, 2015, then reached listeners again on June 7, 2017 through the Season 2 soundtrack release. A full band backs the recording: YU "masshoi" YAMAUCHI on drums, TOSHINO TANABE on bass, and HIROSHI IIMURO on guitars, while Sawano himself covers piano, keyboards, and every remaining instrument.
