My version of one my favorite tracks from the Zexal OST, with "whistle," organ, piano, and percussion parts! It notably plays in scenes where Kaito makes a comeback and/or summons neo galaxy-eyes :)

I was nervous that I wouldn't do the song justice because it's hard to make long notes sound good with the soundfonts, also the original has so much energy, I was afraid of being lame in comparison, and tbh it did sound lame at first. But adding the "whistle" and organ (both of which reference/pay tribute to him hehe) really got the ball rolling and I ended up having so much fun with this! I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!

Aside from obligatorily liking this track as a Kaito enjoyer™ the piece is actually objectively so neat? My favorite things are the call and response in the beginning between the aggressive treble and the bass line, the persistent repetition in the bass line; the fake 3/4 time at 0:39 which sounds really erratic and uneasy; that fake 3/4 also foreshadows the change to real 3/4 time at 1:16, which has the effect of extra speed and urgency leading to the end .. in that same part not only is the beat dynamic, but also the harmonies/chords: the way the chord progression gradually builds as it repeats, (extra tension points in the way there IS a chord progression after the majority of the song is mostly strictly built off of E minor,) also the first and second chords of the 4 chord phrase being in minor vs the third and fourth being unexpectedly in major is super interesting. The major chords are a hint uplifting/hopeful but at the same time make even more tension because of the way it's just Not part of the base key and I think that's neat.... none of that probably made any sense and sorry to ramble, just know this song is really good so zexal music lovers stay winning :)
