Katawa Shoujo Forums

Of recent, the song that has left the largest impression on me was "This day and never again" which is Gilgamesh's theme from fate zero ( focused on when he uses Ea, quite an emotional scene.
Just gives me chills.

KS music never got me too much (Barring wiosna, which i get whenever i boot up ks.)

Wiosna literally haunts me.

I don't know what it is about that song, but every time I hear it I feel, like, existentially troubled. Maybe it's because it's the song that would immediately start playing after that gut-wrenching manly picnic-splat.

It's also the first thing you hear when the game starts up...It is an evil evil thing.

Now that, I just don't get at all.

"Wisona" never really left much of an impression on me, despite it essentially being the theme of KS, (or at least the song you hear every time you boot the game up.) It's a lovely tune for how simple and quaint it is, I just never really hear it play in my head when I think of Katawa Shoujo. This is most likely due to my reasoning of which I posted prior: my love for melancholy melodies.

I think of Shadow of the Truth or whatever that one is. Or "Fripperies". How great is Fripperies? Just when I boot up the game and "Wiosna" starts, my mind races ahead to everything that's about to follow and I can barely bring myself to hit the start button...

I do like Wiosna, I think it's great piece of work (as the whole OST, man, I would buy a cd for sure, even if it meant paying twice the price for shipping it to here), but it's rather happy and relaxing for me, doesn't really make me upset or anything, unlike the ones that play in depressing moments. The strongest ones for me would be Moment of Decision and Cold Iron. My god. They strike right in the feels. The music composers have really did a great, great job. I don't know how would this game feel if I played it without the music, or even worse, with some other music.
Anyways, I can't bring myself to listening to the sad ones yet, maybe because I barely completed the game like a week ago and they make me depressed even though I consider them to be masterpiece.

Which of the happier ones do you like the most? I like Wiosna of course, but the favourite of mine would be Aria De l'Etoile. I really love it.

I played my first half route or so with my own music on, until the album finished and I realised the in-game music wasn't all that bad.

I love Breathlessly, but that's not answering the question as that's as happy as Pingu having his home melted. It also changes a lot, so tomorrow it could be something else.
My favourite happy one, however, is probably Afternoon. It doesn't tend to be used at the plot-important moments, and it just sounds brilliant. I also like Hokabi and Generic Happy Music

For me, 'Fripperies' evokes KS as a whole more than anything else except, on occasion, 'Passing of Time' and 'Wiosna'. There are other tracks I like more, I suppose: 'Romance in Andante' is my foremost example of immersion-induced affection, because I kept replaying that track while writing the first part of 'After the Dream'.

Wow, strange. I always found Fripperies pretty boring and emotionless, for me it's just a regular school theme which doesn't connect much with the characters and their stories, but that's just me :d

I actually had to search for it on YouTube because I had forgotten what it was.

That isn't what it's supposed to be? o.o

Like Fripperies, Ease is also a happy tune. What is the general opinion on that one?
Personally I love it, especially if it involves Misha showing up smiling!

Lightheartedness is an emotion.

I'm not even finished KS (one more route, Rin's) but everytime I listen to Wiosna it brings back bittersweet memories of Lilly and Hanako. What an awesomely haunting theme it is.

I just completed KS.

My route order was Emi, Rin, Shizune, Hanako then Lilly.

Now I don't know what to do with my life.
