Funny you mention it, this song has always sounded familiar to me as well.
I also always thought it sounded like something that would be in a Miyazaki film, personally. I'm 100% sure that it's not from one, though. I'm fairly sure it's an original based on two things: artist name and the fact that the song has been in Bemani for such a long time (it was put into Pop'n Music recently, Pop'n Party I think). Given that they usually don't have their licenses on covers or masters last that long, I'm inclined to believe it really is by Naya-N. The only other Naya-N song I can think of that makes me draw a connection is the opera style song in Pop'n that had an MZD remix version as well. While they're not the same genre, you can tell that the artist has a very good grasp on traditional music styles and piano/organ. |
