This track is quite unique considering the general scheme SAO tracks follow. Usually they are either soft, ambient or big orchestral compositions showing character themes. However this track really focusses on the villainy and mysterious atmosphere of its character.
It totally caught me off guard when it first played in episode 2's end. Right when the camera moved to the skies and focussed on the tower and moon, it was an instant feeling of "There is definitely something up there". The track really focusses on "Mystery" part with a little touch of villainy.
The bass and the beats are probably the best parts of this track. The vocals uplift the track, but the main attraction for me still lies in the beats. The entire background composition behind the vocals is extremely catchy. Many of the instruments are, I believe, processed in some way or maybe synthesized directly as I have not heard of them so I'll just have to refer them through timestamps.
Right when the beats start at 00:10, there is another instrument along with it and it continues with the beats for the rest of the track. It really sounds nice the way it synchronizes with the main beat. At 0:24, the track fully picks up with another instrument. I think its again some sort of processed piano or xylphone but I am not sure at all. Its got that kind of bubble-y sound to it. That is probably my favourite sound from this entire track. And then right when it plays its first few notes, vocals start. The vocals are astonishing in itself. The choir really sounds extremely nice with the music. The Mysterious aura just reeks out from everywhere after that point.
The track continues like that for a few seconds and then the guitar comes in at 0:52 (I think its a guitar). It was a good part, but doesn't really top the rest of the track for me. And then right when the guitar part finishes at 1:19, if you listen closely there are also very small string sounds added (for stereo headsets, can be heard from the right earcup) that rapidly repeats itself following one tune. Even that tune is kind of nice when you actually notice it and adds to the track. Almost all the instruments really sync very very well together and add to the total atmosphere.
This track and "Blue rose sword battle" are the two tracks I listened on repeat for a few weeks when I finished alicization season 1. I'll soon start my watch for another one.
---Background---
I did find a great background image to use, but I had absolutely no idea what I could add to it. My mind just stuck to adding fog type of effect which generally is mysterious in itself and I thought it would go well with this track. Am not super satisfied with what I made, but eh its ok~ish I guess.

![Hayashi Yuki - You say run [ Boku no hero academia ]
Spoilers in the video of season 1.
What can i say about this track, pretty sure most of you expected this to be present when I started uploading from Boku no hero academia.
This track catches perfectly the action phase of BnHA. Especially when All Mights theme kicks in at the middle of this track, just goosebumps right there.
It was hard to find an AMV that suited this but since this track and the anime are both actiony, I thought something should fit this track. Not perfect, but still it looks nice.
All props to the AMV goes to : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnBBE9hAIDc5zFauczk51mQ
This AMVs link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruTjxHAj_98
Theres only so much I can do about the quality of background though. Re-encoding youtube source makes it look really bad on greater than 1080p resolutions, but well, its still dope xD.
PS: Sorry forgot to properly perform edits on the audio bar and particles.

![Yuki Hayashi - Kimi no Chikara [ Boku no hero Academia Season 2 ] [ EP ]
This is my favourite track from the entire season 2 of this show. No other track for stood in comparison with this for me, its in a league of its own.
This track really creates an immensely tense atmosphere. The start of this track has that calm before a storm type of feel. The vocals in the start part just sound pretty amazing to me (0:04 part). The scene where this track first played in the show (todoroki vs sero), this track really gave goosebumps in the main part of that fight. The determination and anger of todoroki was seriously something to watch in that. Wont go into much details due to spoiler reasons.
After the start comes the real track. Absolutely amazing violins and drums, and the vocals later on. The 1:15 tune is extremely good. The vocals at 1:54 were just amazing. This track was absolutely perfect for that particular scene which I just talked about.
I originally did not plan this track for the EP series but I realized how many times I have listened to this track separately after completing the show. If I liked a track this much, then there is no reason to not keep it in my highest rated list.
Apologies that there was no upload last week. I was absolutely packed with the last week of semester, submissions and stuff. There are no guarantees for next week as well since Ive got my exams so probably Ill do another upload earlier in the coming week.

![Masaru Yokoyama - Thank you, Mika [ Mobile Suit Gundam : Iron Blooded Orphans Season 2 ]
Holy damn this track.
Damn it hits right in the heart.Its been some time Ive watched this anime and even now when I hear this track, I have this heavy heart.
The background too was pretty hard to get from the anime since most of the backgrounds which would go well with this track would be spoilers.
This track was like the ultimate peak of emotions in episode 40 ( or 15 of season 2).
Ill say this, Season 1 was a little bit better than Season 2 of this anime. Some stuff really felt stretched out for no reason and at times pissy. These moments were not there for me in season 1, but this season soon picked up a lot and went full roller coaster after getting to the mid of episode count.
I really like the way how this track starts as a simple tune and instruments just keep adding up, enhancing the effect. Especially those piano and violins, damn my feels ~
It is one of those tracks, which repeats the same tune, and still it doesnt feels repetitive one bit. Truly amazing.

![Hiroyuki Sawano - Someday, Ill definitely make you mine [ Nanatsu no Taizai ]
Sadness, desperation, tragic, these are the words that come to my mind when I hear this track (or more like this part of the entire track).
Again a very beautiful composition by sawano.
The main effect of this track was in the episodes where the sins went to the capital of the dead. Ill keep the description about that to minimal in order to not spoil anything but I instantly liked this track in that episode.
The violins and the brass sound so great in the first part, they form the main highlight of this track, and also the sole reason for me to pick up this part and put it on the channel. That melody is just so great to hear.
The part after that also supplements it fairly well, I like this track (or this part) by quite a good amount overall.
This would be the last Nanatsu no taizai upload. Next upload will be tomorrow and channel would be back on regular schedule with no previous pending uploads !

![Michiru Oshima - Senka ~Tamashii no Kaishuu~ [ Bounen no Xamdou ]
This is a clipped/short version of this track. I am not really a fan of the start and end part of this track. What interests me is the middle.
This track is a modified version of Taiyou no Sobo track. The generalized tune is same, but it has been changed quite a bit in the way that tune is produced, hence why I have kept it as a weekly upload.
The piano start is quite good but my favourite part is 1:09. The way the violins produce the tune at 1:09 and short drums with continuing piano tunes come together, its really great. Taiyou no Sobo had a really great vibe to it which really fit the shows religious theme and this track followed that really well.
New show from next time !

![Hiroaki Tsutsumi - Beginning [ Dr. Stone ]
Personally this is my favourite show based theme from Dr. Stone. There were a few others that set the general the base theme for a few other tracks from the show like Stone World, but they did not grab me as much as this Beginning and other themes based off of this like Win as One.
The track starts by almost directly jumping into the heat of the music. It has a small prelude from start 0:00 to 0:15 where it quickly builds up to the main theme. The main instrument I am not able to guess what it might be, maybe a dampened vibraphone, or maybe some other Latin instrument, but its quite nice and sets a nice tribal kind of theme. The cymbals and probably Tambourine in the background add a nice flourish to it. The drums slowly start at 0:07 with some of those tribal like vocals starting at 0:12 and everything goes full throttle by the 0:15 mark playing the main kick of the music right in the start. The vocals, drums, violins, trumpets all make a really good theme, which quickly ends at 0:30.
The track then goes back down again and this time goes into a really good build up mode. The part from 0:30 to 0:45 is very similar the the 0:00 to 0:15 part. The 0:45 part is an entirely piano part which plays the similar theme which was played in the part just before it, however adding its own touch when ending that piano section at 0:55 to 0:57. I have definitely heard this part piano plays at its ending multiple times in the show with senkus scenes. The nice short piano section which ends at 0:59. After 0:59 is a small flute section which again plays the same music. One interesting part about all these 3 sections that played similar tune, was that they all ended with their own touch. The first part 0:30 to 0:45 just continued that theme did not really ending its section, but immediately jumps to the next piano section, which ends with its own touch as I talked above. And then the flute section starts which ends at 1:14 again in its own way, but as a sort of conclusion for all the 3 sections which was quite nice. Also just before starting the flute part, the violins take up (along with vocals) to move on to the next section which was a really good transition in my opinion.
And then there is a small section with I think horns, trumpets violins and drums. Its sort of like a victory theme at that section which starts at 1:14 with the brass family. The track goes back to building up to its main theme at 1:40. The tune this time is a little different with this prelude having many more instruments like drums and violins and other instruments that were in the 0:00 to 0:15 section. The track then starts its initial vocals and main theme from 1:51 and then rest of the time is same as the 0:15 section. This theme is really good sounding as I said before, loved this section a lot.
The track then quickly finishes off with a small ending flute violin and drums section.
A great theme overall. The main section and even the overall theme of this track is definitely more towards the victory side, counteracting a little with its name Beginning haha.

![Hideki Sakamoto - Rachels Theme - Life [ Satsuriku no Tenshi ]
Its a pretty nice and slow emotional melody.
Rachels theme was used throughout the anime quite a lot, and has a lot of different renditions of it. This is just the one that I selected because it represents the emotional atmosphere really well which was the predominant part of the show. The highlight of this track is not in the start, but the latter part. 1:08 this is the highlight for me.
This part has a nice emotional weight/heaviness to it which the listener can feel instantly, as well as a little desperation.
The piano notes in the start are again soft and slow, and produce a nice melody. Though they do sound nice, in my opinion they do not build up to the last part of the track which I talked about just above. They just feel...separated I guess. Still quite a good track though.

![[Reupload] Ken Arai - The Truth [ Parasyte: The Maxim ] [ EP ]
Since not too long ago I have been revisiting my library quite often, going through tracks I havent listened to in quite a while.
Naturally I started appreciating many tracks, with almost same vigor as I had listened to them the first time, however this one track I fell for a lot more than I did for the others. Fine wine sort of thing I guess? There were a few more tracks which I felt similar for, but not nearly as much as I felt for this. It was almost as if I treated it completely unfairly back then.
And thus this re-upload, probably my second highest worked upon video on my channel in terms of the ideas that I tried incorporating, and first time I ever tried working with the audio itself.
The track is a shortened version of original track which more or less looped twice, but this shortened version has an extended version of the middle section (my favourite part) which I have quite nicely looped a little bit (not perfect, but quite a passable loop).
I absolutely love this track. Eletronic tracks are not as common across animes, especially at the time of Parasyte, so this is such a treat and it perfectly hit a bullseye on most of the checkboxes.
The start of the track is a complete mysterious atmosphere with those piano celo and violin like combo upto 0:29, from where the transition starts happening into a more of a stressy atmosphere. Overall the theme is a bit difficult to describe for me, but its sort of a good mix of mystery + stress/tenseness.
The synth like sounds in the background starting at 0:29 are sound so good considering the feeling this track portrays. Buzzing sort of like insects, parasites! But in terms of music, dont really sound out of place either, which is fantastic.
Those rapid intense, breaking violin starting from 0:29 as well are also great. There are sort of like two layers to them, one produces rapid breaking notes while another covers more slower musical transitions, 0:55-0:58 is a great example of it.
The 0:58 section with those violins and beats (and those low pitch screechy synth sound in background) was such a great transition into the main theme kicking in at 1:21.
I tried to add a sort of interesting flavor to track from 1:12, which involved some audio tuning, obviously that tuning didnt turn out as well as I would have hoped for but I tried best I could from my limited knowledge. Then a middle section with intimidation from tamura reiko, probably the best line of her and one of the most critical moments of the show.
And then 1:21, which I fell over heels for. This section is so great, the electronic beeps in the background that sync well with the repeating piano notes is so great. Not to mention the background vocals in that section (yes there are some slow reverbed falsettos! I never noticed them initially, I have better audio gear now though). The violins ofcourse adding a real musical flow to the track, the beats and bass adding the intensity. Its such a lovely combination, so catchy, makes me want to listen it for eternity.
The closing of the track is a little abrupt, but not too bad at all, with just synths covering up, some slight cymbals and some violin notes. Not too shabby, but defintely not a rememberable part either.
The background change and transition at 1:21 is something I took the inspiration from the anime itself, similar to the transition of how the camera zooms into reikos eye. It was clearly not on the same level, but was an interesting project on my part, which I am fairly happy about how it turned out (but even more happy that I was able to loop the best part of the track decently).
I did screw up the start of the track where it sort of starts a little bit in the middle of the note, but not too bad I guess.
With this re-upload, Ive unlisted the original video (unlisted is not same as deletion, anyone who has the link, or is in their playlist will continue to be there).
This is a little different, not really one that may be expected from this channel, but I did want to do this, to, well, correctly portray my feelings about this track.

![Evan Call - Across the Violet Sky [ Violet Evergarden ]
First of all, apologies for a big delay. Internet connection was really a problem this and past week.
Anyway, better late than never eh. Other uploads will be as per their schedule, no changes to them.
This episode (one from the background as well as the one where the track played) was truly marvelous, beautiful story. I loved how beautifully the dad daughter relation was portrayed and how violet helped writing the book (if i remember correctly, it was a book or novel or something on those lines).
I love how the song picks up at 1:08 with the rapid violin notes in the background, and then at 1:31 how the trumpet (or oboe ?) kicks in and the whole song finally enters its climax.
The soundtrack, with the father daughter flashes was truly a beautiful and emotional scene in its full potential. Violet evergarden was truly a wonderful show.

PS:
You might notice the particles are missing from this. Well there was a reason for that. The background itself was very bright, and the particles were not visible.
Only in a few places they were visible which ruined (trust me, it ruined) the overall atmosphere when one looks at the video. So I decided to make away with them.
Also a small little fade away at the end. Evan Call - Across the Violet Sky [ Violet Evergarden ]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wAUUXvoqUJY/mqdefault.jpg)
![Yanagi Nagi - Glass kara afureta mizu wa [ Just Because! ]
First of all, I really like the name of this track.
Its original name in japanese is Glass kara afureta mizu wa. This name is a perfect depiction of what this soundtrack defines. Glass, defining heart, and water, defining feelings, so beautiful.
The track, if I remember correctly, was the first and only one I noticed in the anime which stood out. Mainly because of the 1:01 part. The scene in episode 4 where this track played, itself was a pretty strong scene in emotions. This track, just made the scene more amazing.
The violins are just so beautiful and strong in their melody, instant emotional attack.
I might have kept this track in my EP, if the end of this track was as amazing as the track itself. Unfortunately, it was not according to me.
Just Because! is probably one of my favourite slice anime, except of course Oregairu. I really liked this anime, just because how simple it was in its storyline with no overexaggeration of stuff. I am really not a Slice of life watcher, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one, and recommend this too.
PS : Sorry for the particle issue again in the end. I was pretty tired when I was making this (but still wanted to lol) so small details kinda skipped my mind.

![Yutaka Yamada - Savage Wind / 腥風 [ Vinland Saga ]
Another great orchestral track, and probably my favourite from Vinland Saga in general.
Most of the vinland tracks were powerful orchestral compositions, which is what I believe Composer Yutaka Yamada also is very good at. The track starts and builds up atmosphere slowly eerily, which really suited the scenes where it was played. I recollect two scenes where it played, and both were foreshadowing the difficulties and hard times that were about to come for the main characters (end of episode 1 and end of episode 12). On top of it having a buildup, the buildup and track were of perfect length not overstaying its welcome. The track starts off slowly and heavily with the low bass (or low pitched string/guitar?) and heavy brass instruments. The horns were especially the highlight in the entirety of this track. And once the buildup finishes at 0:45, the main theme kicks in. The horns/brass in that main theme are exceptionally good at portraying an Impeding doom kind of scenario which were apparent from the scenes where it played.
After the main part the track slows down at around 1:19 to shift its tune and transition into the second phase of it. The start of the second half at 1:34 follows a similar tune that played in the start of the main theme of first part with the violins but with different drums this time. It could be treated as a continuation of first half, but I kind of feel this like a buildup for the main theme of the second half so hence why I treat the start of the second half of tune from that timestamp (1:34). The second buildup finishes at 2:23 with brass instruments and violins coming again. The second main tune starts at 2:40 which is again extremely good, however not on par with the first main tune. The brass at 2:40 is extremely good, but its quite short. 2:40 - 2:45 part was absolutely amazing.
Also, after thinking about it, Ill make another upload from vinland (this was originally planned to be the last i.e. only two uploads from vinland).
