At first, I thought this was some sort of rendition of the ED song. It was quite a while (a very long while) later that I realized that this song was actually a rendition of Vanquish.
I never really gave much attention to this track mainly because of how mesmerized I was with vanquish and how much I listened to that on repeat, every day, continuously. Only once I decided to find the rest of the tracks in the show, I relistened this and liked it quite a bit as well. I thought of keeping it in my SP series (yeah, so many uploads I have thought of keeping in SP but ended here lol) but again, the rendition is pretty different and does not entirely represent vanquish. Only a small part of it.
The name of this track clearly shows this is meant to be a theme of 02, but I believe most of the watchers (including me) consider vanquish to be the main theme of 02, other tracks really just pale in comparison.
The track starts off slow with piano, but really picks up at the start of violins from 0:27. One can clearly hear the second half of vanquish from 0:27 to 0:39, as well as from 0:58. I really like how they did not go completely reproducing vanquish, the track has its own pieces of composition combined with vanquish to make a really great track. I originally noticed this track in 3rd episode but actually noted it down in the 11th episode. I gotta say, the selection of this track during the 3rd episode part was really good. The scene was really amazing.

![Tatsuya Kato - Kanousei no Utsuwa [ Shokugeki no souma: San no sara ]
As per the post on the channel last week, I had to skip that weekends upload and postpone it to this due to college exams. I want to talk about this a little but ill save that for the end of my description for this track.
This track is from third season of shokugeki no souma, but I actually found it during the watch of my fourth season. This show got a lot of my attention in its first season when it came to its soundtrack. Few tracks got my attention in the first season and some of those tracks became one of my all time favourites ( Study both sweet and sour is one example ). Then in the second season, the track called Signature Dish also grabbed on the same level. However with third and fourth season there was not a track that really grabbed me similarly. There were some good tracks definitely like the one in this video, but none grabbed me like the previous ones.
However with that said, I do like this track. I noticed it during the 8th episode of fourth season, and was an instant mark for me.
The start and ending tune of this track is super soft, pleasant and great to hear. The main instrument I believe is koto in those parts. Its honestly those parts that grabbed my highest attention, the middle part of the track is something I would say fine. I mostly listen to this track for its first and last part. The japanese theme is portrayed nicely throughout the track for the character this track belongs to ( kinokuni nene ). This track doesnt seem to be the one that could have feelings attached to it. It feels to be one of those kinds that fill in the characters theme, or in this shows case, a good cooking theme for that character haha.
The flute part 1:18 is also a very good part, the instrument I believe is shakuhachi.
The name of this track is also one that I really liked. A translation via google says it translates to A vessel of possibilities, which actually went really well with the scene where it was played in the 4th season during the talk between isshiki and nene. Ill not spoil what the talk was about, but the name really holds well, and since I found the track in that scene I am very satisfied with the name too.

Now coming to the reason I postponed the last weeks upload essentially skipping it. The reason for skipping instead of uploading two tracks this week is something that directly ties to what I said some weeks back, that I am running out of tracks. I used to have a big bundle of pending tracks that I had to upload but that bundle has grown small as I have lately been watching less number of shows, and sometimes the shows I watch dont have something I like enough to be uploading here.
Anyway this would be a rare occurance, as its not like I want to make it a bi-weekly series now lol, I already have a fairly slow upload rate, dont want to worsen it haha. Tatsuya Kato - Kanousei no Utsuwa [ Shokugeki no souma: San no sara ]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kpiJ_umFB50/mqdefault.jpg)
![Kanno Yoko - Mizu to densen [ Darker than Black ]
From season 1 of darker than black, this is the only track that caught my attention, but by a fair margin.
I am always a fan of these, uh, less intensive ? type of tracks. A very simple, yet likeable tune.
I really dont know what instruments were used in this track, would love to know them.
I really dont know which category this track falls into. Its one of those, Serious moment tracks, but also feels a little bit ambient type. Well whatever it is, it sure is pretty good according to me.
I only vaguely remember darker than black. Have actually forgotten 90% of it so I could not even find scenes which I could directly take out from anime that would fit as background image of this track. Had to go searching for few wallpapers that might fit it and this was the only one...
Channel update -
My new college has now started in its full flow, as a result I no longer get time for anything apart from weekends. That includes the videos I put on my channel as well. Ive been thinking for 2 weeks what alternative I can do, but I havnt been able to find any way to achieve what I was trying.
My only choices after that were to either close down channel, or change my upload timings. I was not very keen on closing my channel since I love to do this stuff and sharing music.
Thus, Ive decided Ill be shifting the upload timings. I can at least surely say this that so far, ive been extremely consistent (at the very least 95% of all my videos) with my upload schedule and only very rarely ever missed it. So it kind of pains me to reach this decision as well, but real life happens.
From now on, uploads will be mostly on Saturday or Sundays. A particular day is not decided yet, and probably will never be. I also cannot guarantee weekly uploads, though Ill try my best to keep at least 1 video (like it has been till now) up every week.
Thanks for all the love you people have given me. Lets see what the future holds !

![Hiroyuki Sawano - Call of silence (Feat Gemie) [ Attack on Titan Season 2 ]
Absolutely love this track, this is definitely one of the best vocal tracks out there in anime.
The composition is just beautiful., The vocals so soft and heartwarming , The pacing gradual, just amazing.
1:43 is just so amazing to hear, I heard this track before I even started watching Season 2, and ever since I heard, I had just been waiting for its airing to finish.
Music lover or not, I think this track would be liked by almost everyone. Again sawano with a great job.
This amazing in how many renditions Call your name is present throughout the series, and each rendition sounding so new and amazing.
Sorry for there not being an upload last week. Was busy with college stuff, had assignments and a video to make for a project for college. Time went by in that.

![Keiji Inai - Sunrise [ Btooom! ]
This track was probably the only one I liked in Btooom. Not many caught my attention.
This track fit the anime really nice. Adds a nice ambient theme as well as the atmosphere of suspense. Really portrayed the amount of distrust all characters had with each other and how on the edge everyone were.
The bass adds a heaviness to this song which can be felt, and which is mainly responsible for this track to add the feeling of suspense.
Overall sounds like a pretty decent ambient theme.
No winners of the contest as there were no answers.

![Michiru Oshima - Tachitsudzuke Ue wo Miyo [ Bounen no Xamdou ]
I was absolutely in love with the second half of this track soon as I heard it in the second episode.
The second half portrays a really intense atmosphere. The melody produced by violins always grabs me. The first half actually lays down a fine theme, but all the magic lies in the second half of this track.
Quite of a lot of tracks in this show resemble/give me a feeling of Eureka Seven. The overall theme is quite similar with instruments usage and stuff.
The trumpets and drums at 0:53 really drive the intensity through the roof, and then when violin kicks in, it really makes a good overall action theme. Especially the violin tune between 0:57 to 1:04 is absolutely fantastic in my opinion. The way it starts from a low note, and goes to high note and then staircases down to lower note and then up to a high note, I absolutely loved that.

![Yoshihiro Ike - Last Choice [ Shingeki no Bahamut : Genesis ]
This theme is a modified version of Chorus of Despair, a sad version.
I was looking for another version of Chorus of Despair but could not find it, i think it was unreleased.
The initial tune is pretty damn good. I really like the way how 3 instances of same tune were using different instruments. First instance, right in the start, was using horns I guess, second instance with violins and third instance with both.
This is gonna be the only track I will be uploading from Shingeki no Bahamut, there werent many that caught my attention, some did but I dont think I would wanna upload those here. Only this one would be it.
This really sounds like some militaristic soundtrack from some movie, with a tribute scene going on and this track kicking in the background XD.

![Yuki Kajiura - Project Alicization [ Sword Art Online: Alicization ]
I personally feel this track is a very good combination of ambient theme and a bgm/object theme.
Like the track Dream of the lost days I uploaded a few days back, this one brings a similar atmosphere. However, I believe Dream of the lost days inclined more towards the Ambient side, this one is a mixed bag.
The piano tune is just very nice to hear. The melody produced by piano is great, and the beats supplement it really nicely. The small piano section at 0:58 was pretty well made, and the overall theme is of piano at start and end were definitely very nice.
I believe this and the last 2 tracks I uploaded (Elevator clerk and dream of the lost days) were overshadowed by other great tracks in the show. True those tracks which overshadowed these were extremely good, however these tracks arent much lower in my opinion.

![Abo Takeshi - Logic [ Steins;gate 0 ]
I believe many people will find this track mediocre, yet I still decided to upload it.
Ambient type of tracks are not always ones that sound pretty amazing, they try to meld in the background, hence the name ambient. Even after that though, this track sounded pretty nice for being an ambient theme.
To me, this track gives the feeling of confusion, turmoil, everything going not an intended way.
There isnt anything extra special about this track, just a nice and simple tune which caught my attention.

![Akiko Shikata - Imbatto & Inferia mix [ Cross Ange ]
Alright, I tried up something new this time. Ill say it right at this time, it didnt turn out the way I expected it to.
There were two tracks in Cross Ange which I really liked for only a small part of their entire duration. Now this duration was pretty small for each track and itd have made no sense for me to upload such short durations as it was something that is not my extreme favourite, just is pretty good.
I tried to mix them both using After effects, somehow. The end result is this, pretty average, but hey at least you get both the tracks lol (only positive what I see of this :/).
The first track ends up at around 30 seconds (pretty evident anyways) and the way it ends is kinda hasty, but well, theres just drum beats after it in the original track so ~
Coming to tracks,
Both imbatto and inferia are actually pretty good (for the part present). I just wish that part of Imbatto was a bit longer. I really like the intense feeling you get from Imbatto, a really good track for serious action scenes or extreme plot twists with some emotional content and action according to me. Inferia on the other hand is much more inclined towards the emotional part which can also depict struggle of the characters. At least that is what I feel it is more focussed towards.
If I have to choose between these two parts, a hard choice but ill say id choose imbatto as the better one (again, only for the part ive included). Was not really a fan of the entire track of Imbatto, inferia is still fine overall.

![Hiroyuki Sawano - Hearts Void [ Re:creators ] [ EP ]
And we are back to another EP upload after 7 months.
For the third time, consecutively, Ive given this title to sawano, purely a god in his creations.
This track is simplistically majestic. I have no words. Just the tune is so damn pleasant to hear. This is like the ultimate ambient+emotional music.
The main reason why I watched re:creators was the sawano tag that was present in it.
Honestly speaking, there werent many tracks that especially stood out for me. True tracks were good, but I think Ive heard better. But still, there was this track which stole my heart away.
The track really goes with the altair and her creators character in the anime. A story of sadness.
Re:creators was pretty good in the first half, but went downhill after that.
Theres gonna be one more upload from re:creators but I think it is fairly evident which one it is gonna be.
PS : This is the second version I finalized for this EP. The first version also somehow fit what i wanted to do (like some faded memory glitch type of effect), but this felt to me that itd fit more better. Link to previous one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqqrZAR2jvU in case anyone is interested.

![Yuki Kajiura - The Blue Rose Sword Battle [ Sword Art Online: Alicization ] [ EP ]
This track instantly stunned me from its melody when I heard it in the show, especially in the first enhance armament part.
(This upload is a bit different from my normal uploads and Ill cover the reason in the later part of this description)
For me, this is hands down the best track in the entire show. I really dont think any new track, if any was introduced in season 2, would even be able to come close to this. The music, the tune is just mind blowingly amazing and intense. This track was on solid repeat for me once I finished the show, I was just mesmerized by the tune a lot. Probably this is the reason the reason that I spent the highest amount of time I have ever spent on making a video in this one.
Based on the context of its usage in the show, I honestly thought the first minute of this track was a separate track altogether. The first few minutes were very rarely used in conjunction with the second half of the track (I cant remember any instance of them coming in order*). One instance I remember is when the second half played first and then first half followed after that, this was in the bath area fight (those who have seen the show know what part I am talking about).
Coming to the track, this has a very very soft start. The piano tune is just on point, absolutely perfect in my opinion. It really translates the main music into piano really really well. Like even when hearing at 00:00 to 00:03, its so great to hear so many small piano notes being introduced for adding a little variation to the start of the main tune. The main tune at 0:59 starts with plain notes, not with the notes that vibrate, or change rapidly up and down (idk what its called), but the piano tune adds a little variation to that in the start by many small notes which just sounds amazing in my opinion. Idk if I was able to get this point across clearly or not, I just hope you get what I am talking about. Usually there would only be a one sligly longer note for a plain violin tune, instead of many small ones which are also different from each other.
Its either a violin or cello (or both?) that accompany the piano in the first half really really nicely and sounds great. I also really like how this track goes silent and introduces the chilling wind sound right before the main part kicks in.It fits the swords power so well ~!
Now for the main part of the track, 0:59 part and oh boy doesnt it sound good. Honestly I am always so captivated by the first few seconds of the start of this tune. Its so filled with intensity as well as emotion, its hard to describe this part in just one feeling. It has all the feelings of struggle, desperation, emotion, intensity, loss. The drums especially add a lot more intensity to this. The tune on top of it is kind of catchy is as well. The flute part in the middle from 1:43 really adds a good touch and nice variation to the track.
And now before closing the description, Ill talk about the change in video format for this video. My plan to make this small animation has been there ever since I finished alicization. I knew this track had to be in my EP series, and I just wanted to do something different for this. Usually I make a wallpaper and add stuff to go along with this, but this time I made something from scratch. You all are used to seeing my audio bar and I had doubts if I really should exclude that but as I started progressing with this animation, I just kept thinking more and more that the audio bar will not go well with this, and hence why this time I decided to shift from my regular format of videos. I hope it doesnt irk the regular watchers a lot. I had my sole focus on creating the enhance armament animation of the sword.
PS: Also sorry for this video not being in pure 1080p. Doing everything from scratch in 1080p was hard for me due to my monitor resolution constraints. Moving the composition a lot would lead to unintended errors which I wanted to avoid, not to mention it already took me more than 12 hours to get this completed.
