Actually it's the first time an OST makes me smile like that. I like the OP, I love the ED, but what's between them is really THE thing. Don't you think? I can't find a proper example, cause each episode so far as its own "rythm" and pace. But still, the music is always sort of "joyful". Very much like the heroin. In one word, suits perfectly the story and the characters.

(Then, I'm supa-glad to be the first to answer this thread opened by the almighty Catgirls. ^^)

There is one piece of Background music that stands out, well at least for me.. Its played quite a bit. Ex. Start of Episode 3 just before Haruhi walks into the computer club & Start of episode 4 moments after Haruhi walks into the Club room. Also in episode 5 when Haruhi walks into the room with Isuki for the first time. (They play it in nearly all the episodes as far as I remember)

The music in the show is great! without it the show can suffer quite a bit, episode 8 was a bit too quite.. most of the time, but it picked up at the ending.

It was only last week that I realized that the preview music was another version of the OP. Am I late or not? =/

The stuff played when Haruhi storms through the door and starts yapping away is hilarious!

I listen to Bouken Desho Desho at least 5 times a day and it has become my phone's primary ringtone, or am i just too crazy about it? :heh:

I chose Hare Hare Yukai for my phone's ringtone, so I'm just as crazy.

So far the BGM that stuck in my head the most is the one that plays at the very beginning of episode 2, when Kyon is talking about his beliefs about aliens/ESPers/time travellers. For some reason I can't stop hearing it at the most random moments.

I like all of Episode 2's BGMs, actually. The ska music when Kyon talks about Haruhi's oddities, the slow blues-type when Kyon discovers that his new seat is in front of Haruhi's, the incredibly overwrought violins and tango when Mikuru is introduced, the bouncy drums when Haruhi grabs Mikuru's boobs... it's just absolutely perfect for the scenes.

The BGMs really fit the show, eventhough most of them are not really the super outstanding type. Nevertheless, I still enjoy the BGMs for their light, easy sound.

Anyway, does anyone know when the OST will be released? I tried searching around the usual places without any luck.

That's exactly when I realized I enjoyed the music too. That computer club theme is just sooo 70's. lol I feel like I'm in Starsky and Hutch's car. :D
Then I really like the sos brigade room theme, reminds me of Square SNES games. ^^

Here's the jacket for the upcoming release of Koi no Miracle Densetsu by Asahina Mikuru, together with God knows... and Lost my music by Suzumiya Haruhi, on sale June 21, titled Suzumiya Haruhi no Tsumeawase

Wouldn't be surprised if this also becomes a hit, just like the opening and ending songs.

:topicoff: Might as well upload the jacket photos of the DVD for Episode 00.

Got my op/ed CDs via cdjapan the other day - they each have a second song on them, and by my 2nd time hearing them, I've come to like them as much as the main tracks! Anyone know if english lyrics to them are online, particularly Kaze Yomi Ribbon from the OP cd?

I would also appreciate if anyone knew where to get translations to OP/ED. :D

Kinda off topic but is there an PV for the opening yet?

Yes there is. pm me for details.

Just asking...does anyone know what music was playing in episode 11 when the SOS dan was winning?

Pursuant to my post above, the CD jackets for upcoming releases have been announced.
