A great track, but there is one thing that strikes me whenever I hear it.
Why does it sound so similar to "Arrival to Earth" from Transformers Movie. There were 3 places where I was genuinely confused as to what I am listening, first was 0:12 - 0:14, second was 0:26 - 0:30 and third was 0:39 to 0:44. Now I get the parts I marked are all same tunes, but the way the entire melody repeats itself in higher pitch at 0:26, it can't be just me who thinks about the resemblance. Even the drums at 0:39 bear such a striking resemblance.
Anyway, that stuff aside, its a really nice victory type theme. I would still say "Grow Stronger step by step" is still the top one in my opinion, but this one also portrays that struggle type feeling in the initial half. The latter half is purely victory oriented theme, what I feel. It's a great track that would probably be really nice to hear in an orchestra, since it has that orchestral theme in it.

For the majority of this tracks duration, this track repeats a similar tune.
So, there isnt much contributing to the entire length of this track, but it still is a fairly nice track.
Just like other tracks from K, pumpy and full of bass and beats.
Still, the tune is pretty catchy in the initial parts. The anime utilized this track at fairly good scenes as well.
However, my favourite track would still be If you die... from the entire K series.

I believe this is the most underrated track of the whole series. I havent seen it getting as much attention ( well its understandable considering how few tracks were extremely good ).
For me, this track was an instant like when I first heard it in the end of episode 20. It was only a small fraction of the entire track, but the intensity and the scene was so serious, almost to the level of scary.
Many boku no hero academia tracks in season 2 utilize vocals compared to season 1. Its quite possible that I missed those tracks in season 1 (or found them not to my liking) but I most of the tracks which I marked in season 2 had some sort of vocalic sound in them, quite greatly used at that.
The tracks starts with rapidly changing notes (violin i believe) which build up the seriousness of the scene, and then the drums and vocals come in. However, I believe the track loses the type of atmosphere (which I thought) it would create when the initial notes stop, i.e. when the drums kick in. Dont take it in wrong context, I do not mean that they reduce the track quality or anything, its just what I thought was this track would be an extremely serious one but I do not find the same seriousness in the track after initial notes. BUT, after 1:02 the tracks starts to pick up for me again. And for me, it reaches its climax just before it ends, in fact, right before it ends, 1:39.
The 1:39 part is what I find absolutely amazing, and that is the part which I noticed in the show and searched for a lot.

This was the only track that got my attention in the entire show.
This track has a great buildup and one of the most awesome chorus. The entire track has a victory feel to it.
The chorus part really really grabs me a lot. I found myself listening to that part again and again when I finished the show. The show itself was pretty similar to another show called Arslan Senki, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless.
The first chorus part starts at 1:43. The brass with the drums in background, they really portrayed a great victory atmosphere.
Long tracks like this (I usually consider anything beyond 2 min 30 sec mark as long) are usually a miss, mostly because most of the time, its only a small part of the track that really piques interest of most of the people. Like sawanos tracks, they many time feel two tracks combined into one, but some of their noticeable parts are so catchy, its hard to look away.
But this track really is great in its entirety of length. The composition is really great and doesnt move away from the feeling it aims to give.

While watching the show, I somehow did not mark this track as the one that intrigued me much, probably because of how much I liked Grow stronger day by day.
While searching for the tracks I marked, I listened to this track and immediately realized how many times I heard this in the show. But what piqued my curiosity was this track had almost the same name as Grow stronger day by day (duh!) but in the first half, it did not match that tune anywhere.
But in the second half, when the guitar continue their tune with the horns in the background (or some trumpet like instrument) which produce the Grow stronger day by day theme in back, it really grabbed me. Another reason I believe this track skipped me was probably because of quite interesting matches in the show which grabbed me complete attention.
Whatever be the case, this track was pretty great to hear when I heard it completely. It has that both intensity in the first half, and the victory feel in the second half and is kind of quite nicely suited for variety of sports shows out there.

Well I just decided to get this uploaded.
I trimmed the original track to include the main part. It has a nice buildup, but the part before buildup is kinda long. And besides its just a mid week upload, so if you want to listen to the full version, you can search youtube a bit, should be easy to find from other uploaders.
As I said in my upload for Marrine Kreische track, this is a different (maybe the original) rendition of the same tune in that track, but it portrays emotions more powerfully than that with its vocals and rapid nice sounding piano tunes.
The vocals and the piano really are the best part of this track in this version, only if it was a bit shorter and a bit more worked upon in its initial part, I would have chosen this one as the main weeks upload.
But anyway, here it is. Just a small midweek upload. The main weekly upload will come tomorrow or day after tomorrow.

Another pretty nice track from Grisaia. Its got a nice piano tune with a few other instruments I cant pick out.
It might be used pretty well as an Ambient theme too. Its neither too short, nor too long, just perfect in duration, and with that catchy and calm tune its becomes a pretty great track.
It was pretty hard to find a good background for this since there were practically no wallpapers of grisaia available which could serve as background for videos I do, took some time to find this from the anime itself.

![Kevin Penkin - Made in abyss [ Made in abyss ]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fERqNOUkdz4/mqdefault.jpg "Kevin Penkin - Made in abyss [ Made in abyss ]
This track sounds like a peaceful adventure~ish type of theme in the start, which slowly shifts to a slightly emotional one in the middle.
This theme fit really nicely to the end of episode 3, at that parting moment.
I really like that composition at 1:10, the way it goes from a higher note to a lower note, slowly waving in between.
There isnt much that I could say about this. Most of the tracks in made in abyss are like that, Simplistic and great sounding with a beautiful melody.

![Hiroyuki Sawano - Memories [ Guilty Crown ]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fVPzkBF5B1A/mqdefault.jpg "Hiroyuki Sawano - Memories [ Guilty Crown ]
There is no soundtrack named memories, its again one which I named myself. Hiroyuki Sawanos naming scheme is based on the instruments rather than the tracks significance. Original name of this track is Guitar→Pianoforte.
Ive again uploaded only a part of this track. The second part is piano version of this part so I may upload it in SP series if I decide to.
Coming to the track, this is again a pretty good track (well most tracks from sawano are :p). Those guitar notes from 0:26, superb. Simple and deep.
The reason I chose the name Memories was also because of those tunes, which I believe depicts the good old moments in the anime.
A pretty nice and soothing track.
Its a real shame some of the modified versions of various tracks were not released (eg. Mysterious, Guitar-Pianoforte) which were extremely pleasant and amazing to hear, especially the Mysterious one. I guess I said this in previous upload too, but well.

Ah I love this track a lot. This track was something that I noticed in the first episode itself, but I wasnt much thoughtful about the track. It was in the second time that this track played that I actually noticed this properly and repeated the scene to listen to this. At that time, I totally fell in love with this track even though I had one qualm with this at one part of it. That part has always kind of irked me and feels kind of feeling breaking. Will talk about that a bit later.
The track starts off with some nice, little emotional and soft solo piano acting as a prelude to the main music. Then at 0:26 the track actually starts with its main composition with those nice and soft violins and cellos in the background. I quite like this particular tune a lot, and love the fact that the track really develops on this tune going forward with it. The tune makes a really nice emotional atmosphere with these initial violins and slow paced music. The track remains in this sort of prelude phase in the first half of it.
After the 0:26 part, at 0:51 the previous parts violin and cello tune continues but this time with addition of the piano that was silent in the 0:26 part. Many tracks that do this do it really well, this addition of instruments one by one in the track, and this track also does it really nicely all the time maintining the main tune and the atmosphere.
After the 0:51 part finishes at 1:16 the track quickly starts picking up really powerfully. An instant feeling of intenseness can be felt from 1:16 when those rapid cello notes are added. Those rapid notes quickly add a lot of depth this track was developing on throughout its first half upoto 1:16. The pickup is quite quick from then and the track within a few seconds at 1:29 goes into its final flow. The pianos pick up their pace, the cellos start their own backing quickly changing music pace and the violins start the piece of music in this. From 1:29, the tune that violins produce is a higher pitched and a bit faster version of the same tune at 0:26, but at 1:40 the tune is a new one. This new part genuinely was so amazing to hear, it feels like a part that actually completes that particular tune whereas the previous parts were just developing on it. Not to mention these swaying violins have a really sort of heavy sadness and intensity in them which is extremely amazing.
One big part of this track are those cellos in the background from 1:29. If you listen to the track a bit loudly at that part, if you can make out the cellos behind the violins, you will notice the cello tune is different from how it was in 1:16 part. At 1:16 they were more of static, and quickly repeating notes. Here the cello notes variate themsevles while maintaining an even quicker pace of repeating. They dont produce a flowing music but more broken into different but quickly repeating notes. The variating notes of the cello really a a lot of intensity to it. Another important part were those muffled drums. Previously I thought its kind of weird having muffled drums, but to be honest when I imagine this track with non muffled drums, I actually feel that keeping them muffled was probably the best idea. This muffled sound is not as punchy as a normal drum bass and goes really well with the tune which is more oriented towards heavy emotional side.
The track enters its closure phase at 1:54 which is just a soft melody of violins and cellos, which is definitely quite nice acting as a closure.
Overall this track is a really solid composition no doubt, but one issue which I had with this track which I talked a little in the start is the little transition to the 1:29 part that starts at 1:22. The part from 1:22 to 1:27 is something that doesnt fit the flow of this track for me. From start to the end this track maintains a really good melody, but it was at that transition I always feel irked. For some reason, It just doesnt fit the track for me and every time I a listen to this track (i do listen quite a bit to this) its always that part that takes me off the flow. Its very rare to have a non fitting tune in the track, but this time its something I definitely notice really easily. These few seconds are the only downside of this track I really notice. While only for a few seconds, it still does kind of break the immersion.
But keeping that aside this track definitely is a gem for me. The next weeks track however is my favourite track from this show and I love it a lot so stay tuned for it haha.

I know I originally said there would be 3 uploads, but it was after the first upload that I noticed this song as well, and decided to keep this as the weekly upload too.
This track, like Surinukeri Kokoro, gives a really good amount of time building up to the main part. Throughout the track it slowly builds up on the intensity and desperation feelings. Its a really good Shock moments type of track in my opinion, slowly building up to that moment and then in an instant hits you hard. One really good aspect of this track are the those female vocal sounds. They are really charming in the start, but at the end intense moment they really add up to the intensity. There appear to be some sort of words in the middle of the track in those vocals, but I am not sure if there actually are any lyrics or not.
The track starts off right with those rapid piano notes. And the way they are played, makes it feel like theres a second layer behind those main rapid piano notes. This second layer slowly comes in and kind of slowly desyncs from the main piano tune of the start. You can start hearing those second layer notes from ardoun 0:09 and the desync becomes much more apparent around 0:25 as this prologue of the track ends, and then at at 0:46 those front main notes end. Its a pretty unique thing which I cant recall if I have heard before, quite a nice way with piano.
Once this part almost ends, at 0:55 the cellos are added adding a bit more of a depth to the track with their slow, low pitch and heaviness. The pianos quite soon pick up after that and the track more or less follows a similar pattern. The vocals at this place also come more on the front line.
At 1:26 the violins also come in playing a steady tune as well as a nice tune at 1:35 with that slight tune played along side the steady notes. At 1:45, the vocals seem to change pace to sing some sort of lyrics, but as I said before, am not sure whether these actually are japanese or any other language or not. However, it is at this part that the track starts picking up phase. This 1:45 to 2:04 part feels to be like that of a transition to the main tune. Its devoid of any cellos or violins, only vocals and the pianos in the background till 2:04. At 2:04, the violins and cellos are added back and this time the track really quicly starts picking up pace. From 2:13, the violins become more apparent and there are those very short violin (or cello) notes in the background recurring at regular intervals. I really like this way of changing the phase. The vocals remain consistent with the previous parts and kind of lyrics if any, till 2:32. The entire track goes into its final piece of intense music. A deep bass is added to the track for those heavy emotions and there is a change of violin and cello notes really complementing the overall heaviness and emotional feeling in the atmosphere really really well. The pianos themselves become very rapid adding to the desperation feeling as well as intensity of the situation. The vocals also change their flow into, well something that adds more sadness and emotion to the track but not exactly something I can describe. If anything, I really loved the vocals at this part much more than I did in any other part. They are just beautiful at this section.
The track is quite long compared to the main section near the end, however its not something I disliked. It flows really well throughout and the music is just lovely with its intensity near the end breathtaking. Truly an amazing piece.

This is the best track from the entire show hands down. I think it was probably the first track which caught attention of most users before any other track in the show.
The piano tune start is really amazing. The way the track slowly picks up from a simple tune to a full band of instruments is quite catchy. This track is a nice victory type theme, fits quite nicely to the protagonist of the show.
The initial tune is like the part 1 of the entire tune, and then when part 2 kicks in at 0:36, it really gives goosebumps. The rapid guitar tunes which seem to mingle and get lost in the middle of the track before 0:36, and then come back into the front row at the part 2 really sound amazing with that piano tune.
The entire track is almost of perfect length as well. It does not prolong the duration of same tune, and gives a nice music at every second of the track.
I absolutely love this track !
