Great Main Menu Themes

[Funyarinpa]

This thread is for VN main menu tracks that are catchy/memorable/atmospheric/etc. How many you post doesn't matter, but PUT THE DAMN YOUTUBE LINKS IN SPOILER TAGS so that people do not have to scroll down a couple kilometers while reading.

Remember11- All or None (Piano)

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

This track's sadness and the whole atmosphere in the main menu reflects the themes of the game beautifully (especially the first half).

Danganronpa 1 & 2- DANGANRONPA

Spoiler

 

 

 

A perfect introduction to Danganronpa's wacky, catchy style.

Ever17- Karma

Spoiler

 

 

Same as Remember11. This music is tied to some unforgettable moments of the VN for me, hearing it always takes me back.

Euphoria- Rakuen no Tobira (Instrumental)

Spoiler

 

 

Reason is spoilers

but the track is amazing either way

I've always been partial to the instrumental version of Burst Dream that's used as menu music for Dengeki Stryker. It does a great job at setting the mood for some shonen superhero activities.

Couldn't find the instrumental version on the Youtubes.

Yuuki no Mahou - Title Screen arrange

 

Spoiler

 

 

This is a major nostalgia trip to me

All the fond memories...

Interesting thread. And since I'd waiting for Root Double, how about it's main menu theme here for the example of good theme? Oh, by the way is Salyu picture there spoiler or not?

Spoiler

 

Hope it will increase your curiosity about Root Double. If you ask me, the song was calming and at some point has some kind of urgency there. Quite interesting, and I think it's equal to 'karma' or 'all or none'. Oh speaking about Root Double OST, GundamAce lament that Takeshi Abo didn't play hand in composing the OST, because GundamAce thinking that Abo was perfect for composing Root Double OST. And speaking about Takeshi Abo and title theme, how about Gate of Steiner also below.

Spoiler

 

Oh, I'd just remember. There's another calming main menu theme, courtesy of Jun Maeda, Rewrite main menu theme 'Journey' below. Although the tree at the title theme look more calming to me I suppose.

Spoiler

 

I think that's all I could remember for main menu theme right now.

My favorite main menu themes are:

Muv Luv Alternative

Spoiler

 

 

G-Senjou no Maou

Spoiler

 

 

If My Heart Had Wings

Spoiler

 

 

 

[Diamon]

Since someone already posted my favorite (the Rewrite one), I'll post some others :
 

Fate/stay night, reading this particular scene in Heaven's feel that plays it makes it even more powerful.

Spoiler

 

 

 

Little Busters : it's calm, relaxing, simple, and yet beautiful

Spoiler

 

 

 

[FinalChaos]

For the most fitting theme it has to be Chaos;Head - Silence, it gets to me everytime. The theme perfectly initializes you into the vn also acting as a warning to those who see.

Right now, my favorite is probably Hatsuyuki Sakura's main menu theme:

[Zidan209]

[Fiddle]

Cocoro Function: World's End Communication:

Incidentally, all other aspects of this game's title screen are top-par on-notch spectacularosity. Futuristic-looking buttons, nice hover-over sound effects, organization, shininess like you ain't never SEEN. Shizzle's the real deal.

Oh boy, I was so not into it until this scene. It's not that I didn't like it, but I wasn't particularly fond of Into the Night, although it'd play whenever I'd launch F/SN and that meant I listened to it a LOT of times, until it played in that scene. It took me completely off-guard, blew me away and I'm still trying to go back home.

And I was soooo into Heaven's Feel I have no idea what this scene was.

Would you be so kind as to enlighten me?

 

As for my own preferred menu theme, it's Ikkoi's, which people also seem to hate, on top of the game itself...

[TexasDice]

How the hell was Deardrops not already posted, Fuwa pls.

The menu track of Ikikoi is actually a morse code for "Bash your head against a wall really hard"

[Monmon]

If you hear this song be ready for an awesome perverted and dramatic adventure of a boy and a sexy reptilian woman.

[Nightmare799]

Probably Mayoiga from ayakashibito.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Vokoca]

There isn't much that sets the mood better than this - dark, relentless and just plain evil.

Definetly, I just knew this was gonna be awesome as soon as I heard this.

 

And, my favorite main menu theme so far, so many hours spend on just the main menu screen alone

[Chronopolis]

Kikan Bakumatsu. I just love how much umph it has everytime you open the game.

Spoiler

Can't find a video of the Main menu theme itself, but it's the instrumental version of the OP theme.

You can see a bit of how it looks in-game here:

 

 

 

[DarkZedge]

Coμ - Kuroi Ryuu to Yasashii Oukoku -

 

Spoiler

 

 

Maji de Watashi ni Koishinasai!

Or

Euphoria:

My favorite main menu theme is after the true ending of Kara No Shoujo 2. The music fits so well with the image on the main menu after that. It comes at the right time as well. You've just finished the true end and you're pretty emotional already and the main menu comes along and drives your emotions over the edge. That was my experience with it and that is why it's my favorite main menu theme.
