It looks like there never will be an anime<\/a> of Yotsuba&!<\/em><\/strong> It may be just as well. Movie adaptations of favorite books are invariably inferior to the originals, no matter how skilled the adaptors, and that probably goes for anime versions of manga as well (I wonder if I would like Cardcaptor Sakura<\/em><\/strong> as much if I were familiar with the manga). To assuage your disappointment, there does exist a soundtrack for Yotsuba&!<\/em><\/strong>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>. (Technically, they’re “image albums” inspired by the manga.) The music is by Masaki Kurihara and the Kuricorder Pops Orchestra, the same crew reponsible for the Azumanga Daioh<\/em><\/strong> soundtrack. ((There is quite a bit more music for Azumanga Daioh<\/em><\/strong> out there that has never been released in the USA, including a second OST album that is nearly as good as the first.)) Here’s a suite from the first Yotsuba&!<\/em><\/strong> album, titled “??????????????” which the Google translator renders as “I stand little risk of saliva<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

While I’m on the subject of music, here are a couple of a capella<\/em> pieces that caught my ear. The first is from the Kaiba<\/em><\/strong> soundtrack. The second you should all recognize.<\/p>\n

Update: Actually, Yotsuba&!<\/em><\/strong> has been animated, after a fashion:<\/p>\n
