Uploaded March 2018 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago
The tracks name is yet again changed by me, since only a Japanese name of it existed, translation of whose was pretty weird.
The track is a pretty simple track with mainly piano and violin tunes. I think this was mostly used in Season 2 of knights of sidonia because thats where I marked it. Might also be possible I skipped this in S1 but I doubt it.
It has got that emotional and desperation type of feel to it.
Knights of sidonia was a pretty darn good anime. Might take a while to get used to the CG animation but its not that bad.Am pretty hyped up for the third season.
Also sorry for the delayed upload. Hvn't been well for quite a while now.
I also plan on doing an EP upload next week, or next to next week depending upon how I get the time to work on the effects.
The next series from which I am going to start uploading is "Kabaneri of the iron fortress / Koutetsujou no Kabaneri ".

No words, Nothing can describe this track.
You just need to experience the moment in the show to realize the epicness of this track.
The music itself, being based on the original theme of steins;gate named Gate of Steiner ( I literally give this track a 10/10 on its naming scheme ) modified to fit the vocals.
There couldnt have been a better name of this track. Retain the old vibe of the track and give more feels into it. Just perfect.
As I said before, the lyrics of this track are just something else. Its very hard to find tracks with so great lyrics. Now I know the latter part of the lyrics in this track heavily focuses on the show. But even when I take into account only the initial 2 paragraphs of this track, It never failed to give me goosebumps.
There is just one thing I will speak about later on in the description. Will not state it now for spoiler reasons. Will be keeping it at last so people who read description can continue with the flow.
At the start of new stanza, the music tones down heavily and vocals really go deep. They really hit you hard.The vocals themselves perfectly resemble the original track. They do not deviate from the original tune. Even the intro part of this track, though elongated, still resemble the tune very much to the start of original gate of steiner.
Such tracks always steal away my heart. They become a symbol to the show itself when done properly and always stand out from the crowd. A beautiful main theme can bring the whole anime to a entirely different level.
The background music (i mean not including vocals) is greatly mixed together. When vocals are not there, it re-produces the gate of steiner tune, and when vocals are there to cover the gate of steiner tune, the music really enhance the vocals greatly (Note : I do not mean music does not reproduce the gate of steiner tune when vocals are not there, what i mean is the level of resemblance is much higher when vocals are absent). The beats are not over-pronounced and are used in the places they matter, not all around the track and are still subtle. If you ask me to improve one thing in this, Itd be to reduce the bass a bit, I kind of feel it is a little bit over-done at very specific places.
************************
Spoilers below
************************
Now coming to what I wanted to speak above.
This track absolutely destroyed me in the show when it came.
The reason was the caption ( or tag-line/lines whatever you call it) of the whole series. The lines Universe has a beginning, but no end. Infinite..... and so on, if you people remember, these are the exact lines with which the whole show started. The original steins;gate started with these lines, and at the end, when maho re-speaks these lines, these just gave me a huge shock. These made me remember the entire show from the original steins;gate till 0, the entire struggle, all the sacrifices all over again. And in that moment, the background vocals said Time is, so sad and fleeting, cant be controlled, like a river, never stops. These lines were just so epic to the entire steins;gate journey. The entire scene with time particles flowing all around, and everyone watching the time machine leave, and these caption line repeated, just added huuuuuuuuuge amount of depths. I cannot describe the epicness of that scene. That scene won the entire show for me.
The true meaning of those caption lines can only be understood after you have watched both steins;gate and steins;gate 0. The lines which made little, to no sense at the start of steins;gate, single handedly described the entire show at the end of steins;gate 0.
I have no words for describing this show and this track. Whatever I say cannot do justice. Its a show Ill always hold near to my heart.

Video

I apologize for previous EP being so weird. As I stated in the upload before that, I had no idea about previous EP and had to go with whatever came to my mind.
However, this Video, I had been planning for more than 2 weeks. You could even say ever since I worked on B-Messenger video, this video was on my mind.
These effects are a culmination of different ideas that came to me at different times which I always felt would go great.
And this time, Ill say that this really looks great.
The entire project is created from scratch this time. Nothing has been reused from the original script, and everything was made with the final scene of the show in mind.
The audio bars especially where something that came to me right when that wallpaper came to my mind and I revisited the scene. Those white bars, I wanted them to be converted to audio bars, but since I could not delete them from wallpaper, why not superimpose audio on that. I got too long description warning now, so I gotta stop. Cannot write end description so Ill just add the text file.

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 cant 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. Its 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.

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.
