Ok, before you misunderstand, the soundtrack on the left does not belong to me. It was taken from a japanese’s blog which I was randomly browsing through. When I saw the photo, I was “wow..this guy bought Little Busters! OST and the cover art is so nice !”. Soundtracks play an important role in pouring out the feelings and emotions of a scene. From my point of view, it is the essence and the backbone to accompany a scene in telling you a story or maybe a hidden meaning behind what it is trying to tell you.
I believe many anime/game soundtrack fans or the alike around the world understand the importance of soundtrack and some appreciates every note of it. Fans of the alike will know names like Kajiura Yuki, Nobuo Uematsu, Yasunori Mitsuda. A piece of soundtrack is an art, you need to appreciate it to understand the meaning of the music and why its tune suits the scene. Prolly some might object to what I am saying but I will just quote an example in a way I appreciate it - The track “Nagisa” in CLANNAD OST: The tune at the beginning carries a lonely and yet with a bittersweet feeling (the piano), the tune accompanies the scene where Nagisa is there on her way to school. She is there and she still loves the school, the scenery around her but however, she is sad somehow as her friends around her have graduated. The tune takes a change when Tomoya appears, his appearance, is like a light that brightens her up.
Currently, a OST is not enough, items like character cds, drama cds, etc help to promote a title. The cds provide revenue to the companies and also an extra collectable for fans.

I am sure many of you guys n gals love that track that plays when the favourite scene in an anime or a game kicks in. To be honest, I am not really sure why I am making this post. Maybe just a sudden urge to say that I love anime and game OSTs.
