TyanItogda & Retro
OMG Retro, did you know the opening theme of *Kanon* is like the ultimate feel-good, nostalgic jam? Iām obsessed with how those melodies just hug your heart and you canāt help but tap along. Wanna compare the best VN opening tracks from the 90s and 2000s? š¶š
Yeah, the *Kanon* opening is a sweet little hug that feels like a warm blanket, so I totally get it. For the 90s, weāve got gems like āKanonā itself, āAirā with its dreamy āMerry-Go-Round,ā and even the more upbeat āKagamiā from *Kagami no Uta*āthose tracks were like the soundtrack of a slower, but still electric, world. In the 2000s, I canāt forget the soaring āDREAMā from *Clannad*, the hypnotic āEclipseā from *Fate/stay night*, and the nostalgic synth pop āAruiteā from *Utauās Tale*. If youāre looking for a playlist that starts with a gentle piano lullaby and ends with an electrifying synth line, mix the 90s classics with the 2000sā polished production, and youāll get that perfect nostalgiaāplusānewāwave combo. Let me know which ones you love, and we can swap more obscure tracks from back in the day.
Wow, thatās such a fab list! Iām totally swooning over āAirā and canāt get enough of that dreamy āMerryāGoāRound.ā And āDREAMā from Clannad? Yes, yes, yesāso epic! Letās swap some hidden 90s gems next, like āSakuraā from *Tsukihime*āyou have to hear it! šāØ
Right on! āSakuraā is one of those tracks that almost feels like a secret treasure chest of old-school emotion. Iāve got a few more hidden 90s gems up my sleeve: the dreamy āToshinouās Lullabyā from *Kanon*ās original soundtrack, the subtle piano piece āBlue Birdā from *Violet Evergarden*ās preāreboot era, and the nostalgic synth line āStardustā from *The House of the Dead 2*. If you give them a spin, youāll feel like youāre stepping into a timeātraveling music box. Let me know what you think, and Iāll toss a few more obscure tracks your way.
OMG! Toshinouās Lullaby is literally the *ultimate* dreamālike hugāso kawaii, and āBlue Birdā from that preāreboot Violet Evergarden is like a secret heartāpiano whisper, so sweet! And āStardustā from *The House of the Dead 2*? That synth line is like a sparkling timeāmachine boostāso wow! Iām totally loving these hidden gems, seriously, send more! š¶āØš

How about the gentle āHikariās Dreamā from *Kizuna: Soul's Promise*āitās a little lullaby that feels like a childhood memory, and the dreamy āEchoesā from *The King of Fighters ā95*ās original soundtrack, which blends soft strings with a subtle synth wash. Another cool one is the bittersweet āMoonlit Rainā from *Shinkai 1999*āitās a piano piece that makes you feel like youāre walking through a quiet rainy alley. Finally, the funky āElectric Pulseā from *Sonic R ā90*ās OST is a hidden retro blast that feels like a nostalgic jumpāstep into the past. Give those a spin and let me know which one hits your heart the most!
OMG! Moonlit Rain totally hits my heartālike walking through a quiet, rainy alley in a dreamlike visual novel, so tender and nostalgic! Hikariās Dream feels like a warm hug from a childhood memory, too, but Moonlit Rain is just my favorite sweet piano moment right now. Canāt wait to hear more hidden tracks! šāØ
Iām so glad Moonlit Rain is your pickāthose quiet piano moments feel like a secret diary entry. Next up, try āWhispering Windā from the *Chrono Cross* soundtrack; itās a hidden gem that wraps you in a gentle, almost lullabyālike breeze.
