Sakyuu II [33:11] Track 7: Composed by/Lyrics by/Vocals: Taeko Ohnuki Arranged by: Kazuhiko Kato & Yasuaki Shimizu BGM by Joe Hisaishi. Ripped/scanned from my CD copy. Original soundtrack to the movie of the same name. I'll be honest...I'm not too fond of this OST. The good thing? No dialogue/SFX! Well, unfortunately for some beach SFX that plays throughout track 1 and connects/leads on over to track 2, but the rest of the OST is saved from that. The music? I bought this under the assumption it'd be mostly synth. It's not. I'd say about 90% of it is orchestrated and 10% is synth...it being orchestrated isn't the issue for me. It's the composition. The leading melody or main theme or whatever gets re-used in almost every track and it gets tiring after a while. Only a few tracks on here are actually distinct/purely original, and even those tracks weren't engaging enough for me. There's probably unreleased BGM in the movie not featured in the OST, but honestly I don't really care given how much I really "like" this album. Oh well. This clearly wasn't for me but maybe the rest of you will like this. The vocal song is banging though! Enjoy.
