The track that played when Pheles' first made her appearance is here which is a good thing, i had a feeling it might appear on the second. Track 29, La visiteuse.

Pheles' track is probably the main reason I want the OST. Too bad the current torrents are rather limited.

Actually buy the soundtrack then, like i do.

episode 16 comes with new opening and ending! both sung by KOTOKO. The ending is not bad but for opening I still prefer JOINT.

This is track 27 from season II's soundtrack, titled Lieu de la bataille décisive.

Our last chance was the movie score, so we have no chance at all now.

Hi, SnS's ost is awesome i agree... but do you guys know the name of the soundtrack that is always played at the beginning of each episode when a recap of the previous episode was shown? The same piece of music is used for both seasons but i couldnt find it anywhere in all sns's soundtrack.. does anyone noe where to get it? many thanks.

Up to now, even with the introduction of Blaze and Sociometry, my most favourite song is still being. Since the singer is KOTOKO, I thought that Blaze should be similar to being, but my guess is clearly wrong. Blaze is clearly a sad song which clearly suit the big event that will happen later in season 2. Neverthesis, I enjoy both Blaze and Sociometry. It is just that I think if Blaze sounds a bit like being, it would be better.

[Phantasmagoria]

1) It's Sociometry, not Sociemetry. No excuse for typo, you repeated it twice.

2) Why should BLAZE sound abit more like Being? It may be your own opinion, but I would rather KOTOKO having made changes in her singing career than re-using old songs, tweak it somewhere around and release it as a new single/album.

3) Very satisfied with the new OP/ED, as expected of her.

4) Sorry if I sounded mean, kind of in a bad mood.

To be quite honest, Blaze reminded me too much of Being. My opinion was that it should have been more dissimilar.

If I made any mistake, you all are more than welcome to correct my mistake. I will not have any hard feeling. Since I was an amateur in this field, then please disregard my naive comment. It is just that I cannot get enough of Being. Anyway, both of her songs deserve a thumb-up.

There's no such thing as an amateur in listening to music. . It just depends on who you are as to whether you associate it with something or not.

[Phantasmagoria]

Lol.. pay no attention to the "harsh words" (bad mood though), and yea, there's no such thing as an amateur in listening to music.. not at all.

Anyway, BLAZE is something really fresh

[newby]

yeap blaze and sociometry sounded ok for me. the animation for the op is so cool !

[Takuto19]

Looking forward to Sociometry being released, from the ending credits it sounds great.

As for BLAZE i prefered the other opening songs to be honest, but it's still a great opening and it works well.

The new OP animation was storyboarded by Yamamoto Yutaka, who used to be with Kyoto Animation, where he created the Suzumiya Haruhi ED and the Lucky Star OP. I like this one, too.

Thanks to the person who let me know about this, in a comment on my blog piece about him a couple of days ago.
