Favorite BGM/soundtrack of a Visual Novel

[Nyanko]

*pastes complete Umineko BGM*

 

mmm..if I had to pick 1 or 2 from that game though it would probably be 「bring the fate」 and 「ricordando il passato」 because they both made me cry and sometimes they still do (I don't cry that often)

 

 

<Ricordando il Passato has almost only movies with a lot of spoilers so I won't paste it>

 

In Muv-Luv Alternative 「悔恨の果て」 gave me many feels

 

 

In I/O Revision II 「Load」drags me into the game and it will be stuck in my head all day. I also really like the opening, it fits the game.

There are many amazing soundtracks I've found but overall I reckon that the soundtracks for rewrite and grisaia no kajitsu are my two favorites. There are better individual songs, but the overall soundtracks for the two vn's just win me over.

[Hackrabbits]

These soundtrack are what impacted me the most while I was playing:

 

Clannad OST - Nagisa

 

Little Busters EX OST - Saya's Melody

 

Rewrite OST - Sanka

 

Innocent Bullet OST - sorrow for

 

Grisaia no Kajitsu OST - Kimi no Iru Machi

 

Majikoi OST - Onna wa Ai

 

Reminiscence OST - Kizuato

 

Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujo - Sora no Sukima -orgol ver.-

 

Katawa Shoujo OST - Painful History

 

Hoshizora no Memoria OST - Koimizu

 

Hatsuyuki Sakura OST - Shisha no Nageki

 

Kanon OST - Yume no Ato

 

Irotoridori no Sekai OST - Into a Desolate and Dark Forest

 

As people previously said, i don't think you can connect with these tracks on a deep emotional level if you don't understand the meaning behind why it was composed; and what scene/situation it was composed for. If you want to listen to them anyway, then go on ahead.

*pastes complete Umineko BGM*

I'll second that.  Umineko has a soundtrack I listen to regularly.  My ipod has 2 playlists:  My regular one, and Umineko.  Nothing but stuff from Umineko.  Plenty of other games have decent sound tracks and OPs I can fully appreciate, but nothing comes even close to grazing how much I'm affected by the Umineko soundtrack both from when I was playing, and just listening to it by itself.

Every Vn has they own charms so its hard to pick favourites.At least for me,still

Lovely track, sang by a lovely voice, a lullaby that actually makes me sad but also warms my hard so much...

I know I've already posted here, but I can't help myself when it comes to OSTs. To keep this thread going, here are my favourite tracks from the recent VNs I've read:

Hmmm...I'd say my favorite OSTs are Mashiroiro Symphony & G-senjou no maou. Some people might disagree with me on the former, though.

I just found one of my favorite BGM's ever: 

 

Virtue's Last Reward remake: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFI9OsrjAaI

This is Haishiera's personal theme song, pretty much.

神聖なる魂の座

Translation: The Throne of the Sacred Soul

 

 

Music from the final dungeon of Ikusa Megami Zero.

[Mephisto]

White Album 2 easily has some of the best music ever. さすがアイドルVNですね

[Darkshine]

I read G Senjou no Maou and it has great prowess, one of the best musical tracks i've experienced.

Honestly, there's way too many VN OSTs that I've listened to on the occasion, in to which I liked it and started calling it the best of the best. So I think most of the VNs I've read (mostly consisting of titles that are already english translated) have absolutely amazing soundtracks where I could just listen to almost every song and enjoy it.

 

However, if I were to pick even the *best* of all the OSTs, then that'd be Umineko no Naku Koro ni's for sure. It's truly a godly soundtrack on many levels of awesome to possibly describe. My favorite tracks from there would have to be 'Ruriair' and 'Death (From Stupefaction)'. Then there's the my *favorite* VN soundtrack, where the music has, what I consider, the best complimenting feature to the art, story, and narration. It's where the music is so just "fitting for reading this VN". Subarashiki Hibi's soundtrack in this sense, is my favorite as it did this in that perfect and ideal way. My favorite tracks from there would have to be 'Yoru no Himawari' and 'Onaji Sora wa Doko ni mo Nai'.

I am reading Umineko right now(at the last "extra" part of the fifth episode) and while I think the tracks do not hold up on their own very well, they really fit into the story. My favorite(provided I can choose) is probably Melody(instrumental), since it is the only one I bothered to check one by one to find in the 

jukebox.

[Vokoca]

On the topic of Umineko, how come no one posted Discolor yet?

Eventually, I'll post the whole OST at this rate.

Basic translation of the lyrics (obviously, it doesn't confirm to the rhythms of the lyrics, but this is the meaning).

 

Whether I desire reality or a dream, what I take in hand will be very fragile.

It is like trying to sustain for eternity the reflection in a mirror of a momentary light that would disappear were I to touch it.

Is it not ironic that, just like love (romantic), that it runs away even as you chase it?

Spinning, spinning like a spiral, praying in faint hope of a miracle.

Even if I know that I cannot run away...

... if it were to take you back, I would willingly lose everything.

 

After the song translation: 'What dreams do you dream? This is the story of a sweet, happy, bad dream.'
