Do you guys know if its licensed? I don't think so. Then, would anybody know where I can download it? I really want the music, but can't afford it and it isn't possible at all to get it out of Japan.

Its always possible to get Japanese CDs outside of Japan, you just have to check online stores and such.

I am a little confused about the soundtrack titles. Is this the Original OST or something else?
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00006K0LK/qid=1079975978/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-5776564-8038468?v=glance&s=music
Then there is the soundtrack called "Best"
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00006K0LM/qid=1079975978/sr=1-4/ref=sr_1_4/002-5776564-8038468?v=glance&s=music
Which of these titles listsed in the CDJapan website are the CD you are after?
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/Listups/anime/yokohama-kaidashi-kikou.html
On a related note, I tried recently to obtain YKK DVDs. All I came up with was one of the three DVDs at discountanimedvd.com
http://www.discountanimedvd.com/dvd_detail.asp?dvdno=5372
This is apparantly the middle DVD of the three. CDJapan wants $52 (plus shipping) for the third DVD. That is a bit steep. The first appears to be unavailable in the used market.
Can anyone help me find affordable copies of the other two? I wanted to get the originals instead of fansubs. But if I can not get them, I will go for the fan subs.

Like others, I was also put off by the high price of the OST and I have been waiting for it to become available on other means--like this! Just want to say thank you for making these available to us. That was very kind of you. I am looking forward to the others if you put them up at some point.
BTW, the second track doesn't seem to work--I got a 404 error when I tried it. But no big deal.
thanks again

Here's my Yahoo! Briefcase, with the YKK Quiet Country Cafe OST uploaded to it.
http://f2.pg.briefcase.yahoo.com/[email protected]
If you have a Yahoo! email address and want the YKK soundtrack, give me your ID and I'll add it to the access list. Right now, it's set to Friends-only view, so you probably won't see anything.
I'm not sure why my files are uploading with ++s in the name..probably because of the spaces. -_-;; Also, stupid Yahoo! wouldn't let me upload files with names longer than 64 charas, so I had to cut them down. Here are the full names, if you'd like them. This is so you can edit the file names after you finish downloading by copying and pasting the full title.
YOKOHAMA KAIDASHI KIKOU Quiet Country Cafe - 01 - Cafe' Alpha (Main Theme)
YOKOHAMA KAIDASHI KIKOU Quiet Country Cafe - 02 - Yuunagi no Jidai
YOKOHAMA KAIDASHI KIKOU Quiet Country Cafe - 03 - Natsu no Kodomo
YOKOHAMA KAIDASHI KIKOU Quiet Country Cafe - 04 - Musashino Kuni Ryojoh
YOKOHAMA KAIDASHI KIKOU Quiet Country Cafe - 05 - A7M2 Gata Shisakuki no Yuuutsu
YOKOHAMA KAIDASHI KIKOU Quiet Country Cafe - 06 - Gas Station Blues
YOKOHAMA KAIDASHI KIKOU Quiet Country Cafe - 07 - Tour de YOKOHAMA
YOKOHAMA KAIDASHI KIKOU Quiet Country Cafe - 08 - Fuuka .Tokino Kishibe Nite...'
YOKOHAMA KAIDASHI KIKOU Quiet Country Cafe - 09 - AT-6 'TEXAN'
YOKOHAMA KAIDASHI KIKOU Quiet Country Cafe - 10 - 'Cafe Alpha (Main Theme)' Orchestration
YOKOHAMA KAIDASHI KIKOU Quiet Country Cafe - 11 - 'Natsu no Kodomo' Orchestration
YOKOHAMA KAIDASHI KIKOU Quiet Country Cafe - 12 - 'Musashino Kuni Ryojoh' Orchestration
YOKOHAMA KAIDASHI KIKOU Quiet Country Cafe - 13 - 'Yuunagi no Jidai' Orchestration
YOKOHAMA KAIDASHI KIKOU Quiet Country Cafe - 14 - Fuwa Fura
YOKOHAMA KAIDASHI KIKOU Quiet Country Cafe - 15 - 'Cafe Alpha (Main Theme)' Kuchibue
YOKOHAMA KAIDASHI KIKOU Quiet Country Cafe - 16 - Tsuki no Koto
So let me know if you want me to add you to the list, and if you have any problems, please let me know. ^_^ If you don't have a Yahoo! account, we'll work something else out.

Testimonial:
Carn's uploads were perfect. Now I have the OST on my computer and I'm probably going to drive my roommates nuts playing it over and over now! Yahoo accounts are free and spam-free, so if you are desperate for the OST and can't afford to buy it yet, contact Carn. She's nice.

Just to say the link to the second file in the lycos.nl list is wrong. It should be:

(Note it's Jidai, not Jiday).

They aren't that expensive. Relatively to some Asian CD's ranging from 10-50 dollars.
Hm, why not utilize file sharing protocals? (eg: Bit torrent, Emule) I know the legalities and such, but there isn't a market for YKK outside of Japan, yet.
Heck, I might just do that...

I really would like to get my hands on a copy of the OST for the original OVA. The posted links are for the second OVA (Quiet Country Cafe). I actually ordered this from CDJapan and I must say I'm very impressed. I'd like to get the OST for the first series as well.
The music is very calming and relaxing. It's great background music for reading, studying, and fragging things to tiny bits in UT2k4. It's sort of freakish really...
I'm almost tempted to orde one of the DVDs for the second OVA since it contains a dedicated 5.1 audio track for the score. I'm not picky about my music... no, not it all...
^^
If anyone gets their hands on the first OST and wouldn't mind sharing, let me know!

Catalog No.: SVWC-7147

> Then, what about drama CDs?
They're only for extreme fans (that's us, right?). In a sense, they certainly capture the feel of YKK and follow the manga almost verbatim (they're mostly compilations of radio shows various seiyuu do over time).
dDave has done a review of the first drama CD on the forum at :

Does anyone have the sheet music for the main theme by chance? I'd like to see if I can play it.
- nari
Wednesday, March 2, 2005
After a rigorous Google search session, I can't locate any Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou sheet music by Shiina Hekiru via English or Japanese searches. I figured out the first few measures of the melody on my piano, but transcribing the entire Main Theme for piano would be quite the task, given I have no formal musical training.
...
The best solution I could think of to get a hold of who has the sheet music would be to write the artist of the soundtrack itself. A daring move, I must say.

If you Google for "anime sheet music" you'll find websites
of people who transcribe anime tunes, produce sheet music,
and share it freely. Some of these people take 'requests',
or 'suggestions'. Some will take commisions as well - I
recall paying one such person a modest fee for a transcription
of some songs from Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar, to keep my
daughter interested in piano lessons.
A little googling, and asking nicely, and I'm pretty sure
sheet music for the songs you like could be arranged.

<i>If you Google for "anime sheet music" you'll find websites of people who transcribe anime tunes, produce sheet music, and share it freely.</i>
I used to do that, actually. http://irrealistic.net/music/sheet.html I only ever completed a few (wow, I made that page when Fruits Basket was new?). My ear isn't really good enough for anything too complicated, unfortunately.
I don't have a piano at my house now, however, if people really are interested (and can send me the songs in question!) I'll grab my old midi keyboard from my parents' house and have a stab at it...

Whoah calm down dude. I think the "new" was meant to imply a torrent that hadn't been seen by the poster before. Just because you couldn't find what you were looking for there doesn't mean you should get mad at someone who's trying to share it with the rest of us.

Whoa, be calm; It sounds like he's just being silly. Though I've been looking for the OST for a while too and am sorely disappointed it's not up/functioning. Oh well. :(
- Martin Random
Sunday, March 27, 2005
Duuude. =\ The peers on that torrent have 99.3% of the files complete. That means that just one song is slightly incomplete (94.4% is done!) That's 13 other songs of YKK music goodness.
As for myself, I'm really happy that archess posted the torrent link (which is only a little more than a month old) and I've been enjoying this soundtrack.
- Carn

I'm currently downloading the "best sounds", unfortunately I came very late ^_^' so there's only 2 seeder left I think.
Anyway thank to Archess for posting it, since I haven't got YKK - best sounds.

You can find the links on the forums under the Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou section.

Currently listening to the YKK Best Sounds album. I'm not saying Choro Club did a bad job but in my opinion, Gontiti's music seems to be more accurate in portraying the overall mood of the series. Besides that, I like the fact that the Best Sounds album contains more vocal tracks compared to the Quiet Country Cafe album which only has one track (Fuwa Fura).
I dunno if it's just me but it seems that track #7 (Humming to the Moon) is based on Chapter 17 (Waves) of the manga. It's hinted in the title itself. "Humming to the Moon" could refer to Kokone humming along as Alpha plays the getsukin (the "moon zither"). It's undoubtably my favorite YKK song.
