Being asked to create a sound tuned specifically to my ears in this deep and complex world was an honor, and I thought it was a really fun and exciting project.<\/p>\n \u2015\u2015Could you tell us about the concept behind this tuning and what you focused on?<\/p>\n Takahashi: When I mix a song, I always aim for the sound I feel is best. For these earbuds, the sound was further adjusted so listeners could enjoy it in a way that matches my personal taste. \u2015\u2015The tuning balances a rich low end with vocals that remain clear and open.<\/p>\n Takahashi: In particular, at the beginning of \u201cThe Cruel Angel\u2019s Thesis,\u201d I think listeners will really feel the clarity of the vocals and the subtle sense of distance.<\/p>\n \u2015\u2015How do you feel about EVANGELION being loved by so many people across generations and countries?<\/p>\n Takahashi: Personally, I\u2019ve watched both the TV series and the movies many times. Especially the TV series, which I\u2019ve seen dozens of times. Every time I watch it, I get drawn back into its depth, and it has become a very important work for me. \u2015\u2015Over the past 30 years, your songs have been heard by many people in all kinds of situations.<\/p>\n Takahashi: I think the TV series\u2019 theme songs, in particular, have synced up with important moments in many people\u2019s lives. Being able to sing those songs, and now having the chance to perform them around the world, is incredibly meaningful. \u2015\u2015Do you have a message for fans regarding these earbuds?<\/p>\n Takahashi: Of course, you can enjoy the music from the EVANGELION series, but I also think these earbuds let you experience the \u201cbreadth of the music\u201d that has developed over the 30 years since 1995, all in a sound that\u2019s easy to listen to today.<\/p>\n \u2015\u2015Thank you very much for your time today.<\/p>\n Yoko Takahashi debuted as a solo singer in 1991 with \u201cP.S.

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nInterview with Yoko Takahashi<\/h2>\n
For example, in \u201cThe Cruel Angel\u2019s Thesis,\u201d the song begins with the vocals, so we focused on making the opening voice reach the listener\u2019s heart clearly, giving it a transparent, clear quality. Since the main characters, Shinji, Rei, and Asuka, are all 14, we aimed to make the vocals sound bright and youthful, closer to their age.
With \u201cSoul\u2019s Refrain,\u201d we also focused on keeping the vocals youthful and bright. The song is very majestic, with extreme dynamics, so the sound was designed to feel spacious, with depth and stereo separation, while making the low end sound richer and deeper.
To bring out the charm of these songs, the engineers at AVIOT and I went through a process of trial and error. We arrived at a tuning that emphasizes the powerful low end to convey majesty, while keeping the vocals clear and bright to maintain a youthful feel.<\/p>\n
No matter how many times you watch it, you can relate it to your own experiences at that moment. Even after 30 years, it\u2019s still a work that can \u201csynchronize\u201d with viewers in the present.<\/p>\n
I feel deeply grateful to have been part of a work with such lasting impact.<\/p>\nAbout Yoko Takahashi<\/h2>\n
