https://twitter.com/kohta_yamabook/status/1290450122913054727?s=19 there's a bunch of pictures of sawano and kohta working with each other, plus there's a couple more if you look. He seems happy, we can definitely hope to hear some great soundtracks for season 4

Two months ago people were actually saying that they will not watch the final season because Sawano is not heavily involved. I don't see any of them being so vocal in snk season 4 threads now.

Well, in fact this tweet kinda confirms Sawano is not as involved as previous seasons. Kohta is the main composer now.

You are delusional. Can you explain me how you are so sure about the level of involvement Sawano has just looking at those pictures? Everyone knew he wouldn't abandon the project completely, but there is nothing in those pictures that shows he'll compose as much as previous seasons. Don't get me wrong, maybe he is still the main composer -highly unlikely- or they split the work a perfect 50/50, but there is nothing that shows that. On the contrary, if you are careful enough, singer in one of those pictures didn't even thank to him in her twit. My thoughts are Sawano was somewhat involved in/helped with the recording part and maybe composed a few songs here and there. Yamamato is the main guy with some mentoring from Sawano, nothing changed really.

Yes, i was glad to see mpi coming back. It means we'll still have some lyrics songs which is great.

No need to imagine. I've watched some shows I only remember because of soundtrack.

Anime was it's best 20000 years ago, when cavemen drew art with real depth.
Modern anime is all garbage. I miss great old days of anime.

They are not fans, they are idiots. If you really care about particular anime, something like new ost shouldn't bother you.

What the hell are this nonsense response?

First, like someone pointed out before, nothing about that tweet points out that Sawano will compose a considerable amount of songs. If anything, that tweet just supports the idea that Sawano will either only compose few songs or he is only be there to help Kohta on what he should do, but not compose directly.

Second, how does a "real fan" shouldn't be bothered by this? If you truly care about this anime, you SHOULD be bothered by this. Saying you don't care about the music only shows you don't understand one of the main pillars of SNK's anime quality. But about the whole boycott thing, this is just exaggerated response, and I doubt anyone will actually do it, but being concerned about the OST quality is only natural to people that actually care about the show

oh they're being vocal in this thread now, calling me delusional. They're the delusional ones, they're still denying sawano has any part in the final season when kohta himself posted literally proof of him being at the studio. Plus kohta said "we will be working on the final season" WE

who the fuck cares if he's not doing many when kohta does a damn good job and MPI is coming back? Need I recall that sawano worked on each season less and less and that he only did a few songs in season 3 part 2? Be grateful that he's even making anything, he could've just dipped and left it to kohta but he didn't, cause he actually cares about the series. Calm your ass down, the music for this season will be great, and I don't recall you dictating whether I'm a fan or not

Looks like this is supose to be an answer to my post..
First of all, you sound like an angry kid. Slow your roll there skippy.
SNK is one of the best shounen anime out there and there is so much good things about it and here are you getting mad because someone else than Sawano will make a couple of songs for it. Even if the entire OST is made by the other guy, that doesn't mean that it will be bad. You need to be really close minded to make assumptions and have opinions about music you haven't even heard yet. Who knows, it might be even better than the one we had in earlier season.

Btw, the one thing I realized after having a few converzations with people who share your opinion is how they actually don't know about any anime composer other than Sawano. And that tells a lot.

Kohta might do a good job (at least I hope so), but it's undeniable he's not as talented as Sawano, and that's the whole point. People really care about the songs being as good as they can get. But it's true that things could've been way worse and I'm relieved that this is not the case. And I wasn't the one who started the whole "if you're real fan" thing, all I did was showing how illogical the other guy response was.

Dude, no one is "mad" about it. But definitely worried. Kohta's work will definitely not be bad, but the quality of the songs of SNK from previous seasons was something outstanding. And if you go to some of the Kohta previous work, even the ones he did with Sawano, you can see his music is simply not on the same level from Sawano. No one is making those comparisons based on nothing. Although his song in the trailer seemed like a step in the right direction

As for this last sentence, if you quickly went trough my favorites you would see this don't apply to me. And believe me, I'd have more composers in my list if MAL let me. Besides Sawano, Kevin Penkin and Katou Tatsuya I have been a fan of Yuki Kajiura, Yutaka Yamada, Yuuki Hayashi and Yukari Hashimoto. And this are only the anime composers I'm a fan, I have so many games and movie composers that I look foward to their work. The whole reason I'm worried is because I'm a huge OST nerd.

But let me be clear in here: All I'm trying to say is that people have right to be worried about something when they care about the product. That's why I made my first post. Your first response was saying pretty much the opposite

Yeah, your first post definitely sounded completely calm.
Taste in music is extremely subjective and the fact that you liked Sawano's music more than Kohta's doesn't mean that everyone shares your opinion.
Why would I visit your profile?
Everyone has right to be worried. But that definitely doesn't give anyone right to shit on MAPPA's animatiors and producers or composers. People can't seem to understand that things change all the time and in one point you just have to get out of your comfort zone.

Taste is music is subjective until a certain point. There's a reason why all thoses composer I've listed are praised like crazy until this day. Also, Kohta is considered to be Sawano's disciple and he asks for his help all the time. Never seen anyone considering him to be better than Sawano, and even if it did, it would be a extreme minority. But all that doesn't mean he is bad. Far from it. He's definitely talented.
If you complained about me doing assumptions, you could at least not make one of me. That's why I mentioned the profile.
And I didn't and never will shit on MAPPA's staff. Like I said before, the whole point of my comment was just to talk about the right of being worried or not. If you're actually fine with it, then great, our points of view are akin.

The fact that they are minority doesn't mean that majority has superior taste. Although it would be really interesting if music in new season turns out to be great. I have a bad feeling that in that case people will just say that it's Sawano doing all the work.
I never even made any assumptions about you. I just sad that people who made similar assumptions in some previous threads had some close minded urge to talk about things they don't know very little or nothing at all. Same goes for my saying about people complaing about MAPPA and their stuff.
And a quick note - I still think that you are worrying about nothing. Your head is just gona hurt for no reason whatsoever. Atleast wait until episode 1 airs.

Pretty sure he was referring to the second part of this season. I think it might have been a translation by @hinako49 so if we can summon @hinako49 maybe they can explain it better.

In the production interview, Kohta-san only mentioned they composed their parts separately but never specifically state which part sawano-san is in charged, if I remembered right it was someone in the general discussion said Kohta handle marley's music and sawano's will handle paradis music, but this news is not verified i think πŸ˜…
