"Kaguya's Theme" is delicate and melancholy, built around that bamboo flute that keeps returning across the album. "Yamatanoorochi" shifts everything into heavy percussion and urgent strings for the serpent fight. "Yomotsu Hirasaka" gets genuinely unsettling, all low tones and sparse notes mapping the entrance to the underworld.
Thirty-plus tracks covering character themes, world maps, and boss encounters. If you play SRPGs and want a score rooted in traditional Japanese sound rather than standard fantasy orchestration, this is your pick.
