Howling + Tsukiakari
Perfect marriage, 'nuff said.

There's a certain song I like, but I cannot find it on any OST...it wasn't on the original 20-track OST, and I don't think I've heard it from what I've heard of the new tracks released with the Blu-ray...

In season 1 episode 11, right in the middle of the episode when Nick takes Hei stargazing, there is a beautiful piano piece playing in the background. Anyone know if that song was ever released? If not, then

It could be in the 5.1 OST. Lemme check.

EDIT: orz, you're right, I don't remember hearing this from the 5.1 release O.O

[Von Himmel]

Can't believe I can't stop listening to Tsukiakari no michishirube..my friend called my crazy when he found out I was listening to it non-stop for a week

I noticed that the song's atmosphere between season 1 and 2 seems different. Well, they did changed the composer for it, but...for some reasons, I also like it >w< I wonder if they have released an album for it..

Aw...thanks. Now how to find this piece? I'm not giving up yet!

[Seraphis]

Having recently rewatched the first series, everytime I hear the start of the Season 2 ED I can only think of the chorus from Don Henley's "New York Minute".

I swear to god once i heard the similarity I couldn't... 'Unhear' it. I went through most of the second series with Don Henley singing in my head every time it got to the ED >_<

Not sure if a maxi-single will do, but there is one with this song, two other songs, and an instrumental version of this song. One version of the CD includes a DVD with another music video. You can get it through CD Japan.

They have only one album out so far, issued last June. I made a blog post about the group, with some embedded music videos and more info.

By the way, if you're crazy, so am I.

Heh,I think its probably a chinese song? The FMP and Pandora Hearts opening are also very familiar.Talked about this in episode 6,

Spoiler for :

the song when suou's shot grazed the crane

and in episode 8 when

Spoiler for :

suou was being chased

is good! It suits the mood and maybe,suou herself xD

[Vanehei]

Ok. the OST will be out for december 23..... i cant wait to listen "Hei`s Song" full version

[Yu Ominae]

Can't wait for the ED single actually. But some sounds in RNG are quite good.

[wandering-dreamer]

Loved Hei's techno in episode nine, it's the kind of music that assures you that SOMETHING is gonna happen and it'd better be big.

[Seraphis]

Just want to say I've really enjoyed the background music for the actions scenes this series. For me they have matched what's going on onscreen perfectly.

Yeah it's a really fitting piece, and has worked the few times it's been used.

[forgottendiary]

From dusk 'till dawn PV is out via YT. Thanks, dear4life for the heads up @ the LJ DTB comm!

[Azuma Denton]

Just listened to From Dusk till Dawn full version...
A good song by Abingdon Boys School...


A very good choice from BONES for this show's OP and ED...

[Vampire]

Compared to the first season's OPs, the OP in the second season is way too cheesy and unfitting. The series is suppose to be dark and hard boiled but I can't believe they made it just to match Suou's role in the story.

[Battler-kun]

Well, if you consider the magical shojou theme.... it's not that unfitting.....

The first episodes of season 1 were really "dark", so the very first opening was perfect.

[Zwei]

There's something about this song that keeps me from playing another song. It's just that good.

I can't wait for DtB S2 OST!

[Battler-kun]

I don't expect much from S2 OST.....

Btw, for conclusions:

Best opening for DtB: Howling
Best ending for DtB: From Dusk till Dawn
