This song came from the ending of a old video, maked for the third daicon convention, by Daicon Film （ダイコンフィルム)(Actually Gainax) in 1981.
Maked from scratch, with a great Hatsune Miku Voice.
Enjoy! ^^ タグ:vocaloidvocaloid2hatsunemiku初音ミクdaicon3 投稿日: December 18, 2007, 2:02 am 閲覧数: 1684 投票: 3.00(５点満点) 1 人の平均

What I think is a promotional video for Daicon iV made way back in 1984. The joy of watching this is in seeing how many series you can name while watching it, which is quite a few. タグ:daiconivanimemusicvideoamv 投稿日: August 30, 2006, 10:16 am 閲覧数: 79814 投票: 4.90(５点満点) 172 人の平均

I did not make this!
Trigun's HT opening soundtrack was applied to pictures from some Japanese monster (Kaijû) movie - I have yet to find out which one. タグ:trigunhtdaiconfilmanimeost 投稿日: July 13, 2008, 8:50 pm 閲覧数: 73 投票: 5.00(５点満点) 1 人の平均

daicon iv オープニング アニメーション with remastered stereo audio
5:56
DAICON IV オープニングアニメ （リマスター音源）
Details on this project: I had planned for many years to try my hand at developing remastered renditions of the Daicon III and IV films. I knew that the easy part, if it could be called that, would be the audio, particularly in the case of Daicon IV. Daicon III represents a likely impossible challenge due to the fact that it utilizes many sound effects, the origins of which will probably never be known, never mind accessible. Most of the music cues in Daicon III are also proving somewhat difficult to secure in acceptable quality (non-LP, for a start).
Daicon IV uses no sound effects and only three tracks of music, from two albums. After securing a 160kbps MP3 of one, and lossless iterations of the others, I decided it was time to begin. The inexact nature of the utilization of the cues in the film posed unique challenges. For one thing, none of the tracks used in the film play at their proper speeds. For another, several subtle edits were made to each track, in order to force them to better fit the pacing of the visuals in Daicon IV, and these edits had to be identified and matched with precision. Some of the audio is even stereo reversed, or phase inverted. These anomalies were faithfully reproduced. Everything was done in 32 bit mode.
The result is pristine-sounding stereo audio whose timings are such a close match for the original that a person could almost use one to cancel out the other, barring some notable differences in timbre as dictated by the decidedly degraded nature of the film's version of the audio (particularly after undergoing film to LD to VHS to FLV transfers). Feel free to find other postings of this animation and listen for the hiss, hum, crackling and dropouts. Naturally, the video component of this project is the same as always: one of several VHS-sourced versions which can be found all over Youtube and other video resources. I used the one viewable on Nicovideo, as it was the best I could find. Any proper attempt to restore the films would need to start with an idealized digital transfer straight from the LD (or better), either in DV or lossless, which would clock in at about 2GB and 6GB, respectively. These are considerations for a pipe-dream future.
I should note that the complications involved in getting interleaved video and audio to properly sync were the biggest hurdle in this process, and 100% satisfactory results were never truly achieved. Furthermore, Youtube's bandwidth limitations (350 Kbps) literally forced me to recompress an already heavily compressed video, and the result is very nearly unwatchable. Once Youtube enables high quality videos, this video will be replaced with one that looks much better, and with better than 96Kbps audio. I will also make note of the curious fact that there seem to be two different versions of Daicon IV in circulation, with one playing the opening sequence (and music) slightly faster and with differences in phase and channel use. It's a safe guess that both versions are from original sources, meaning the official VHS or LD releases.
What remains on my plate is a complete resequencing of the music cues from Daicon III. Naturally, the completed version of this project would have none of the sound effects, and so would serve essentially the same purpose as an isolated music track. I already know which tracks were used, and have acquired most of them, although only one is of acceptable quality. Two of them are from LP, and while LP artifacts can be toned down considerably, the fact is that a CD for the tracks was released, so that is my goal. If anyone wants to help, and has access to CDs or MP3s of the tracks in question, I'd be happy for the assistance. Here's what I still need:
---
Yuji Ohno - Cosmos (大野雄二の'COSMOS') Two tracks. Note that I have MP3s of this, made from LP, sadly with scratches and pops.
Cyborg 009 soundtrack (サイボーグ009 ['79]) One track, uncertain which.
---
In any event, enjoy this classic film, probably the best animation ever developed for at least ten years after it was created, and now sounding even better than when it was originally shown in Osaka.

daicon iii オープニング アニメーション music only remastered
5:30
DAICON III オープニングアニメ （リマスター音楽）
Details on this project: I completed the somewhat easier and less resource-demanding Daicon IV audio remaster project a few months ago. Eventually, partially thanks to very appreciated donations of audio files, I was able to amass all of the music which was used in the Daicon III film in 1981. True to my promise, here is the (MUSIC ONLY) stereo audio remaster of Daicon III.
Probably the most amazing aspect of this project is that I was able to get my hands on all of the music, and in digital renditions as opposed to recordings of vinyl. The fact is that almost all of the cues used in this film can be considered obscure. By comparison, the main cue used in Daicon IV was rather easy to acquire.
As originally stipulated in the text I provided with my Daicon IV audio remaster, the task of tracking down the sound effects utilized in Daicon III is a very different beast, and one which I
cannot realistically tackle. While some of the effects have obvious sources, many do not, and it would be a daunting task indeed to acquire all of them, short of somebody with an inexplicably huge library being able to hand them all over to me. Therefore, the audio in this video is, unavoidably, missing something important.
So I feel it is crucial to make this perfectly clear: The purpose behind this project, in its current iteration (ie, missing the sound effects), is NOT to provide a proper-sounding version of Daicon III. If you want to watch Daicon III with all of the sound effects intact, just hunt around on Youtube. There are several copies. The best-looking one I've seen is on NicoVideo, and that is the version I used. Though it has to be pointed out that because of Youtube's limitations, and to make room for the audio, the video needed to be heavily recompressed. In the future (when Youtube enables it), I plan to make available a more watchable version. The audio, at least, even at a mere 96 Kbps, sounds fantastic.
There are actually two purposes behind this project: First, this video stands as an adequate halfway point between the original version of Daicon III and the pipe-dream full remaster of the future. It should be enough to know that the original audio is not only 100% mono, but also very heavily artifacted with hiss and dropouts - moreso by far than Daicon IV's audio (watch one of the other Daicon III postings on Youtube to see what I mean).
Second, there are plenty of people who can appreciate a music-only track, and by definition, this video fits that criterion. Think of it as a multimedia OST. Indeed, there are nuances to the music which are impossible to hear in the original audio because they are so heavily obscured by sound effects and analog artifacting.
People are likely to notice some abrupt or amateurish edits. These are actually very careful reproductions of the edits which exist in the original Daicon III audio. I chose not to embellish the audio in any way (such as, for example, using dead space to allow music cues to play longer than they originally did).
Finally, I would like to clear up some points. A few people seemed convinced that I had undertaken some remastering of the video in Daicon IV. Beyond the fact that I pointed out the current futility of such an undertaking, I personally feel that it is obvious that no video remastering had taken place. That goes for Daicon III, of course. I have not touched the video. Nor would I consider doing so without having idealized masters, from LD or better.
In spite of all these caveats, this video is likely to confound most people, especially if they do not read this admittedly lengthy description. I don't expect many people to understand or appreciate it. Primarily, I am posting it for posterity's sake. But if you enjoy the music for whatever reason, feel free to comment. タグ:daiconanimationmusicvideoanimeアニメ 投稿日: March 30, 2008, 1:18 pm 閲覧数: 1104 投票: 5.00(５点満点) 7 人の平均
