"Yasashii Jikan" (Gentle Time) follows with a tenderness that makes the unnamed tracks feel even more mysterious by contrast. Most of the tracklist is just numbered entries, TRACK_03 through TRACK_15, which gives the whole thing this unfinished-diary quality.
Like you're hearing pieces of a story the composer wasn't sure anyone would find. Fifteen tracks of what sounds like a visual novel or adventure game soundtrack built around yokai and folklore, all wrapped in early 2000s production warmth.
The emotional core stays consistent even when the mood shifts between tracks. For anyone who collects obscure Japanese game discs and loves the ones that feel like personal artifacts more than commercial products.
