★ hopes and dreams
★ a neon glow
★★ welcome to va-11 hall-a. there’s a sound here which feels incredibly of a certain time. like. it’s snatcher-core! complete with that puffy mt32-esque sound!
★★ every day is night. this kinda fucks?
★ drive me wild. and yeah, the overall production here feels really redbook, and i appreciate that~
★ good for health, if for that chongy square
★★ a gaze that invited disaster
★ friendly conversation
★★ you’ve got me~
★ umemoto. well, that’s rather direct, huh?
★ all systems go
★ where do i go from here
★ will you remember me?
★★ everything will be ok. i really hope so… (how is this so moving?)
safe haven: does the kick and snare come from the ssg drums? or were they just processed to sound similarly?
★ those who dwell in shadows
★ nighttime maneuvers
★ and the calicomp set is cute
transition ii: wait… isn’t this from yu-no? at least that opening riff?
★ through the storm, we’ll find a way
★ synthestitch. people say this soundtrack is so ’80s but then those black box organs are the most ’90s thing i’ve heard in a good while
★★ the answer lies within
last call has those fm farts we crave i guess?
★ but then reminiscence has the fm bells i crave unironically
★★ believe in me who believes in you. i’d kinda love this were it not so forward…
i want to be stolen away in the thrall of romance. i want to be seduced. i want to meet a beautiful woman and feel the badump badump in my chest and have there be enough chemistry between us to feel like i actually have a chance. and maybe i could’ve had many such chances, were it not for my nervous condition.
i’m still thinking about how, during yu-no’s prologue, ayumi started dropping some serious hints that made both takuya and i go weak in the knees. and while i’ve made at least a few people go weak in the knees – some quite literally – i do yearn for someone to do the same to me. i yearn to be taken in the palm of someone else’s hand and have them play with the putty that i’ve become. i want an ayumi.
