ymniam-MKorch
MovieMika Kobayashi's voice rides over an orchestral recasting of YAMANAIAME in ymniam-MKorch, a Hiroyuki Sawano cue attached to Guren no Yumiya, the first of the recap features. It scores that movie's opening moments and later joins the second disc of the Season 2 Original Soundtrack.
Overview
Guren no Yumiya, the first Attack on Titan compilation movie, receives this piece as the second entry on its soundtrack album; a later reissue places it eighth on the second disc of the Season 2 Original Soundtrack. Hiroyuki Sawano composes and arranges it, his role across every release that predates The Final Season.
Mika Kobayashi supplies the vocal, and the writing credits for the words list Caldito, mpi, and Kobayashi herself.
Plot
The name works as a label for the recipe: this is YAMANAIAME remixed, pairing a Mika Kobayashi vocal performance with an orchestral cover of the melody.
Sung in English, the words follow soldiers chasing light through the air, crawling low in the grass, and hearing bells toll for Walls that fall in their nightmares. They mourn a comrade lost only a day earlier while swearing to turn back the tide and stand as free people once more.
Reception
The track runs a compact 2:34. It first ships on March 18, 2015 with the Guren no Yumiya soundtrack album, then returns on June 7, 2017 through the Season 2 set.
Its lone film placement is the opening: the cue plays over the first scene, where the Colossal Titan appears while the Scout Regiment rides out on a mission.
