KS Music that gets to you
Re: Favourite Music
So I've been staring at this list for quite a while now, and even with the limited options, this decision is incredibly difficult.
Can't I just choose all of them? Please?...No?
...Okay, I've decided. First of all, Other. Romance in Andante is probably the closest thing I have to a favorite song in the game. Sometimes I feel like the only person who prefers this version to II. Even though it's only played during the credits, the feels I get whenever I hear it after finishing a route are immense, especially with the segue to Wiosna. That Am7b5 chord gets me every time. I almost wish it didn't resolve back to G just so I could have that chord ring in my ears all day. No matter when I listen to this song now, chills always run down my spine.
And then, for something off the list, after a very close decision between Breathlessly, Innocence, and Parity, I went with Parity, although I wish I could have gone with all 3 (or really all of the songs). The first two are incredibly beautiful, feels-inducing songs. Seriously, when Innocence started playing at the end of Hanako's route, I came closer to crying while reading/watching/listening to something than I have ever come to in my life. Then of course there's that beautiful chord progression when the strings come in and in the following section. But Parity is just...Parity. It easily provides the least feels out of the songs I've named here, but that's okay cause it's just an amazing jazzy piece. And of course, it's Rin's theme to boot. My favorite song on the list by a small margin. /overly long rant

Re: Favourite Music
i would say Parity
not just because it goes with everything (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp07bBWEch8&), or that it's Rin's theme, but because it seems to have that calming effect that a lot of the music i listen to has. I dunno, I've heard so much somber piano from anime and movies that piano like this seems to be a little less prevalent.

Re: Favourite Music
I voted "Other" because my favorite happens to be this one.
Everyday Fantasy
It reminds me of all the happy moments in KS that I want to remember, most of the others are so sad and melancholic.
I like them all, however.

Re: Favourite Music
Hmm Moment of Decision, Painful History and Breathlessly are so beautiful. Wiosna is really nice, I like to listen to it all the way through before going into the game <3
Raindrops and Puddles has really nice guitar too.
Oh and I have to say Jitter is amazing with that cutscene, I love that little cutscene.

Re: Favourite Music
Well, I cast my vote on the single song that was represented in the poll that is part of my top three favourite songs, Moment of Decision.
The other two songs, both of which I can listen to over and over, I like just as much, Wiosna and Afternoon.
(The cutscene songs don't really count in my opinion. )

I don't normaly go on forums, but when I do, it's pretty damn sure that needed more of whatever it is the forums is about.
There just had to be -more- to "The Katawa Shoujo Experience". ( 100% completion D: )

Favourite routes: Lilly>Rin>Emi>Hanako>Shizune
Most Feels in route: Lilly>Emi>Hanako>Rin (frustration doesn't count as feels)> Shizune
Yes I love Lilly and hate Shizune... deal with it
Re: Favourite Music
I don't know, it kind of feels strange and like a bit of a step down to be listening to the cutscene songs without the actual cutscene watching, kind of spoils it for me, actually.Lolzster wrote:why not?Oogy wrote: (The cutscene songs don't really count in my opinion. )

Re: Favourite Music
I just love Ease and Innocence. When I think about Katawa Shoujo, I usually think about Wiosna. However, the song that reminds me the most about the characters and the story itself is Ease. Innocence is a great piece, while Parity and Red Velvet are tied for third. I love how natural Red Velvet sounds to me, and Parity is just so catchy.
Lilly > Misha> Shizune > Hanako > Emi > Rin

I understand if you don't have the cut scene playing, I get your pointOogy wrote:I don't know, it kind of feels strange and like a bit of a step down to be listening to the cutscene songs without the actual cutscene watching, kind of spoils it for me, actually.Lolzster wrote:why not?Oogy wrote: (The cutscene songs don't really count in my opinion. )

Caged Heart. It's so moving, because it comes in at all the sad parts. It's just perfect for those emotional moments.
Sometimes I find myself singing it in my head throughout school.
I'm going to make it my ringtone!

Became a better person because of KS. But I was pretty awesome to begin with.

Re: Favourite Music
Mine is daylight. Mainly because in that song you can hear what sounds like water drops, and for a few times I thought there was some water dripping in my room before I realized it was part of the song.....LOL
When Hanako smiles it makes you feel on top of the world.

My 2 favorites are not on the list. #1 is Afternoon. #2 is the original Student Council theme (not found in the full game).
