Finally! After so long I actually have a new weekly upload to present to you all haha.
Its been so long, I was getting bored myself of doing these filler uploads for so many weeks~
But anyway, at least for the next two weeks (i.e. two more uploads) I have some great content to share with you all from this show Nagi no Asukara (or A lull in the sea).
Starting with todays upload, the track is "Densetsu" or in english "A legend", with legend as in a story.
This track is the first track that got my attention in the show, right in the first half of first episode itself. Truthfully speaking, when taking into account this entire track, it is more or less not any better than many other tracks in the show (Almost all the tracks are really good in the show and fit the scenario very very well), however the reason this is a weekly upload is because of a small section of this track. As I said almost all the tracks of this show were very fitting and great, but this track had something that made me genuinely go wow. My favourite section of this track which made me immediately want to share this with you all starts from 0:28. I think it is a vibraphone sound, or some similar instrument from xylophone family. The melody is so magical, I have no words. I really, genuinely wish that this tune itself was a separate track, where the entire track was based off of this tune.
Right when this tune played in the show, all my attention immediately went to this, it was such a grabbing tune. The tune also very well fits the scenes it played once you know the story.
When just talking about the vibraphone tune from 0:28 to 0:41, the feelings are so heavy. Its filled with loneliness and sadness. This is exactly what brings me to the next point where my problem lies with this track. When you look at the second half of the track and compare it to the first half (including the starting of the track, not just the vibraphone tune), there are two distinct feelings in those parts. Distinct might not be a proper word, but the two feelings are a bit different in those parts, which is why I said I would have genuinely preferred there were actaully two tracks from this. From 0:59 (which is what i am referring to second half) the track shifts its tune into more of a "everyday life" kind of theme. I know its not exactly different and can be a continuation of the feeling, but still I feel there to be a material difference.
With this said, I might have probably given more of my negative thoughts about this track, however that is not the case. I truly like this track a lot, even its second half, but second half would be a tad bit lower than the first though :p
The flute part starting at 0:59 with those short violin notes sound really nice giving that nice "Village life" kind of vibe in it. Even the following part after that at 1:12, I think a glockenspiel which produced a similar tune as the flute part but more silent and with very faint strings in the background also made a really nice atmosphere and continued the previous one really nicely. The entire track after that with the violins and strings was overall really good.
The highlight, and the reason for this track being a weekly upload will however remain the 0:28 part. I loved that part way more than I can describe in this description, and I hope its something to your tastes too!
There are even better and genuinely very amazing tracks lined up from this show, this was just a very small start for the great tracks ahead.
The background selection was also very hard for me due to the reasons I stated above for which I wanted there to be two tracks. I then went ahead and selected one that I found really fitting for the first half of the track
Our rating of this track: 8/10
Overall rating of this anime in terms of its background music : 9.5/10 (It was almost a 10, but there is a reason I deducted 0.5, some part of the reason I talked about here, the other in future upload :D)
