true tears OST

I’ve been dying to get a hold of this since I heard that BGM that played during Shin’s and Noe’s first meeting in episode 1 (which turns out to be track number 7, 「舞い降りる記憶の影に」Maioriru Kioku no Kage ni). I haven’t been disappointed in it, since I ended up keeping 18 of 33 tracks. I knew since that song that true tears would have an excellent OST, and I’ve loved the music being played in each episode. Kikuchi Hajime, the composer and arranger for the soundtrack, has also done the arrangement for the OP to CLANNAD, which I also enjoy.
That being said, track 7 and track 19 (「一陣の風」Ichijin no Kaze) are my two favourites. Maioriru is quite melancholy IMO, and I’m surprised it was played in their first meeting. Then again, after this week’s past episode, I guess it fits the couple, ne? Ichijin reminds me a lot of a korean drama…I swear I’ve heard that tune somewhere before. Then again, knowing korean dramas, that also fits true tears xDD The majority of the CD seems like it’s basically just one song and contains five different versions of it, but I like the melody, so it’s all good.
