Rockman Zero Soundtrack “resonnant vie” Officially Announced
After Ippo Yamada confirmed a Rockman Zero album in the works last week, it’s been officially announced over at e-Capcom today. The full, official name is “Rockman Zero Collection Soundtrack Kyoumei -resonnant vie-” or resonant life (which both kyoumei and resonant vie mean). It will release on April 21st (the 30th on e-Capcom) for ¥2,000 (roughly $24.48 US).
The concept of “resonant vie” is meant to be a paradox of using organic, non-electric music to represent the outlook of machine lifeforms like Reploids. The album will contain a total of 13 acoustic arrangements of Mega Man Zero songs. This time Ippo Yamada is acting as producer, with all tracks being arranged by Luna Umegaki. The album will also include a a jacket illustrated by Toru Nakayama, and a 12 page full color booklet featuring liner notes by Ippo and an interview with Luna.
All that’s probably left to see now is the game’s track list and perhaps some samples, which I imagine will surface once the album page is added to Inti Creates.

Well, my interests have risen! It’ll be exciting to see how it turns out, because it sure has potential to be heavenly~
*crosses fingers for an acoustic Esperanto*
Sweet album cover, too.
I demand a high quality version of that awesome album cover
Don’t fail me now, TMMN
I wish there was a better background, or another character, the cover looks too plain. D:
Hmm… sounds like fun tho, I’ll probably end up ordering one. |D
I love the cover art and I look forward to seeing scans of the color booklet.
Yeah… I knew it wasn’t gonna be anything about a new game. Nice cover, though. The Zero series art is always amazing.
An interesting concept! The Zero saga has a really strong soundtrack, and making an accoustic arrangement sounds like quite the challenge. Unless they focus on Ciel’s themes, that is
CROSSES FINGERS FOR A FALLING DOWN REMIX!
@me: If they had Falling Down on there, it wouldn’t be electric at all. So it might be kind of a waste, unless they got a full blown orchestra to do it.
This sounds like a great idea. I’m finally excited for an arrangement album!
awesome, i always thought the zero series had the best music.
they definitely don’t know french that’s for sure!
the good term for this is : vie résonnante
it’s always fun to see error like that in official titles, i mean it’s not difficult to translate one single term right?
(and sorry for my english, if there are some errors, i’ve got one excuse : IT’S NOT A THING THAT I’LL SELL,
)
I don’t care how many versions of Departure are out there, I totally want to hear an acoustic version.
Well, I’m gonna wait for a vocal track that will most likely be supplied with this remix album.
@Glitchy: That’s why they have jackets, it’s what they’re there for~
Cool!
It will be interesting to hear acoustic versions of MMZ tracks. And props to Toru Nakayama for the cover art! It’s sooo pretty!
GUYS, GUYS WAIT. HOLD THE PHONE. Just imagine it now; acoustic Departure. I don’t care how, I have to get my hands on this album. I wish they’d release these album through english retailers, like amazon…
@C
Oh heck yes. 8)
I think a new version of Cold Smile would be awesome too.
hey tmmn, how about making a guessing contest where the one make the most accurate guess about which song remixes in this release will win a free album of this?
I’d like to read that interview ^^
That is, if someone could translate it =.=;;
@Giga-ganon: lol, I was thinking that too, they even spelled résonnante without the accent. xD
Sweet, I didn’t even notice they were making a full booklet to go along with it. Maybe there will even be illustrations of actual reploids/mechaniloids instead of a generic picture of Zero and Ciel! I mean, the cover’s well drawn, but wow did they miss their mark, lol
And I’d like to read the interview too~ |D
beautiful, really great, it certainly has to be in my collection
An “unplugged”, acoustic album of MMZ songs?
Oh Ippo Yamada, you so crazy.
But seriously, after listening to the samples, I want this.
