One thing I notice every time I listen to the OST concerns the full version of the main theme, Tabi no Tochuu. The TV version sounds wistful and a little bittersweet. But the full version sounds more uplifting and positive. I think the difference lies in the instrumental introduction which is not included in the TV version. The intro on the full version is happier and brighter which effects my overall impression of the song.

Just got my OST for S&W..... <drool> still listening, will review when done.
edit: interesting.... the instrumental 'dance' pieces are like a mishmash of a variety of cultures including Slavic, Gypsy, and some Middle Eastern -- just like one might hear while traveling trade routes. Nice to listen to... also really liked the 'action' pieces, very dynamic. The main OP tune (track 2).... several comments: 1) I found it a bit over orchestrated and with too much background vocals. The piece works best if kept simple because it lets her vocal nuances really shine. She's got some nice bluesy tones. 2) The opening intro.... has a lot of similarity to the opening chords of the radio/tv OP for "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". That's not a bad thing. Overall, not bad but I'd wish for a bit less in orchestration and backup vocals. The ED is just as mind-killing sweet as always... Overall this is one of the better OSTs I own now and the medieval ambience makes it highly useful in my D&D romps.

So, I finally got around to giving the OST a try...
...and Yakusoku no Uta (The Promised Song?) is easily my favourite of the lot. I wished Spice and Wolf followed the tone of this song, rather than Ringo Hiyori's more whimsical mood. Yakusoku no Uta hints at the deeper levels of drama and bittersweet emotions I had expected to find in this series, only to be sadly disappointed. The more I listen to it, the more I think a Taiwanese or Hong Kong artiste would cover it one day. There is a distinctive karaoke quality to this song that would make it an instant KTV favourite. I wonder if a music video of it already exists? Last edited by TinyRedLeaf; 2008-05-15 at 10:58. |

Although I definitely like the full Tabi no Tochuu, I like that they used the more somber section for the intro. It really emphasized the more emotional segments of Spice and Wolf. (Too bad season one is a little short on those...) Although I don't care much for the end song (I forget the name), I suppose it's meant to do the same for the happier moments.
