Favorite BGM/soundtrack of a Visual Novel

[littleshogun]

Since we had Maya's route translated, as usual I'll post Maya's image song below. Enjoy.

By the way, actually Maya was also had her own unique ending song (The 2nd after Runa, maybe because both of them was the two longest HatsuKoi routes). Anyway, here's the ending song below.

I just started Comyu and already love it.Gives G-senjou and Persona taste.

I'd found that Gin'iro Haruka opening was nice to listen here, so I decided to share the full version here (Maybe it's already posted it here though).

I generally like a lot of the music I encounter in vn's, the ones that really spring to mind are:

Grisaia: Grape Drops
Deardrops: Kibou no Uta
Rewrite: Black Star Sickness
and just about everything from G-Senjou

[littleshogun]

Since we had Yukino's route translated (And all of HatsuKoi), here's Yukino's image song below. From all of image song, I'd find that this is the best one to me for now. Enjoy.

By the way, here's another one although it's not ED song though. It's singer was Shimotsuki Haruka and the song name was Linoleum Kakera Neiru. My opinion is that I think it would be fitting for Midori ED song imo (Even if the picture was Yukino), but that's just me.

Since we had Tsujidou start the translation, I decided to share one of the OST. Not the opening song though, but the BGM that I'd found it quite unique. The BGM title was roughly translated 'I Want to be Gentle'.

This heartbreaking OST from Steins;Gate:

I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed 

I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed I failed

 

 

Each D-mail becomes more painful to reverse with each chapter... Currently on the Faris chapter.

 

Edit:

S***. Accidentally posted this after realizing it's not an OST from the visual novel, but the anime... This forum really needs a "delete post" function. :/

Since we had Dies Irae release, here's one OST from there which took my interest for now 'The Holocaust'. Enjoy, although maybe it's already been shared in the past here.

Another BGM from Dies Irae, and I'd found that the battle theme was quite good to me. As for the BGM, here's one example of the battle theme (Rubedo). Enjoy, and I chose the video with least spoilery picture there (Hopefully).

I use most of the Kara no Shojo soundtrack as as a kind of lullaby when I'm going to sleep, but the main menu theme in particular relaxes me after an awful work day like nothing else can!

Oh hey, thank you! I love that song and it had been a while since I listened to it.

 

The House In Fata Morgana has an absolutely sublime OST. It's probably my fifth time or so posting about it in this thread, but none is on this page, so I'll be posting some Fata tunes again.These are relatively early-game stuff and mostly not even in the top 10 tracks in the game.

Spoiler

 

And then there's the greatest stuff. If you liked what I posted above, play the game instead of opening this- these are best heard ingame for the first time.

Since we had Magical Marriage Lunatic announcement from back at AX, might as well post the full opening for that. I'm quite surprised when hearing usual 'Wedding March' tune in the opening song, so enjoy.

PS - To tell the truth I just knew 'Wedding March' title while I'd already heard it several times.

This time I'll post Sakura no Uta full opening, and it was because I'd find that I like to listen that at this time. Enjoy.

PS - I knew that perhaps it was already shared here, but nevertheless I still want to share it though.

[Dergonu]

Don't think I have posted much in this thread, and feel like I have to add the opening to Chrono Box. It's pretty awesome. (Play Chrono Box, now!)

I have added English subs to it, (gotta enable them in the video.) Did it in like, an hour, so they aren't exactly perfect. But hey, better than nothing.

 

[Renkinjutsushi]

So far almost all Air BGM/soundtrack.

Speciall:

Twin Stars

As for now, I'd like to hear Tokeijikake Daybreak opening here. Enjoy.

Here's another Subahibi track that I quite enjoyed here, and hope you like it.

Since we finally have Saku Saku released, I'll share the two opening of that here once again. Enjoy.

1st opening:

2nd opening:

PS - By the way turn out that the second opening was played at the beginning of the story instead of later, because I thought that the 2nd opening would played later ie when entering a route while the first opening was played after you opening Saku Saku itself.

[Sparteh]

Just realized that original English VNs can actually be pretty good. I just had to drop this:

 

 

[littleshogun]

Here's Mamatoto's Running to The Straight since I recently play that. Enjoy.

PS - It's a shame though that Alicesoft didn't use this BGM as Mamatoto's final boss theme considering it was fitting enough imo, and most importantly the remix of this was Rance IX final boss theme.

Various BGMs from VN's I've played so far. I've only played 4 VN's so far....

Grisaia no Kajitsu

Spoiler

Very chill track, for studying or thinking

Probably my favourite Comedy theme

If you hear this in game ...... be afraid. This song still haunts me, due to a certain flashback where this looped ..... for hours.

This usually plays in the aftermath of something tragic.

 

If My Heart Had Wings

Spoiler

Very relaxing, and somewhat epic theme.

More studying music for you.

The sad music.

The most peaceful song I've heard in a VN yet.

 

Katawa Shoujo

Spoiler

This is almost as haunting as Kasabuta from Grisaia....

Shit going down theme...

Study music (and it always plays in the library ingame)

Funny piano piece, and probably my favourite character theme ever xD

 

[littleshogun]

Another Mamatoto OST, and this is the last country battle theme. Enjoy.

Having grown in a musical environment , I always make a huge deal of the soundtracks of everything that I play or watch.  Sometimes its almost a deal-braker for me, so I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing lol. Anyway, I've played only 6 VNs so far, but here are some memorable moments for me.

 

I really love jazz(watched Sakamichi no Apollon just for the sake of it), finding a good piece in a VN was a pleasant surprise, the piano bits at the end are cool, the sax melody is chilling and the bass solo part is awesome. Also, Katawa Shoujo was my entry to this genre, so it holds a dear place in my hearth even though I've played it years ago.

Classical is the only genre that i love more than jazz. This one is based on a piece known as Revolurionary Etude by Chopin (which is meant to butcher your left hand every time you try to play it). Its by far my favorite etude and I was blown away when I recognized the melody that started at 1:03. What a pleasant surprise. There are many tracks from this VN that I like alot (even the ones that weren't based on classical music) but i will just leave this one here. This also was the VN that got me back into these kind of games.

Ah the Kasabuta/Scab. I still can't figure out why I like this music so much, and this is a rare ocurrence. I did not like Grisaia very much (which made me play only one route of the first game, i will eventually come back to it tho), even so, this song in conjunction to "that" part of the story is an almost perfect match. It's a little unsettling, while being a bit chill at the same time(???). Some ppl said that they got bored of it pretty quickly. As for myself, I used to halt the reading for a few seconds just to hear this melody one more time. That subtle slapping bass that tells that the song is about to start gets me every time.

 

Also thanks for whoever revived this discussion, I could easily decide to play a VN that the description didn't appeal me, after hearing a good bgm. Just added Fata Morgana to my eventual reads. Could talk about music all day.
