A massive 2024 compilation pulling together Arknights' EP singles and character songs, and the roster of talent is staggering.

\" The international collaborations alone would make this worth a listen, but it's the Japanese character vocal tracks that give the collection its heart.\n\nKurosawa Tomoyo voicing Amiya on \"The Long Night Will Break\" carries genuine emotional weight, and the group number \"Minamoto\" pairing Amiya with Suzuran and Ceobe is pure fan service done right.
Each operator gets their own vocal identity: Ceobe's \"Honey Funny Days\" is adorably chaotic, Suzuran's \"Bouquet of Smiles\" is tender, Texas and Lappland's duet \"Laters\" brings the edge you'd expect from those two. Stainless gets the industrial-tinged \"Steam Light\" courtesy of Terashima Takuma, and FrostNova's live version of \"Lullabye\" performed by Takagaki Ayahi hits different knowing her story.
\n\nThe instrumental versions of \"Arsonist\" and \"Echoism\" from MSR round things out with the production polish Monster Siren is known for. Tamura Yukari as Muelsyse delivers \"Honkai no Shizuku\" with theatrical precision.
This is Arknights flexing its position as the gacha game that takes its music more seriously than most full-price titles.
