Theme Spotlight: Sonicboom


Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle has one of my favorite soundtracks of all time. The score is breathtaking and perfectly suited the atmosphere of the story and the various settings of the arcs (just listen to track like 'break the sword of justice' and 'song of storm and fire' for proof). The themes of each season are also noteworthy (featuring the vocal talents of Kotani Kinya, who provided the majority of the tracks used in Gravitation), but this track by Maaya Sakamoto from the Spring Thunder (Shunraiki) OVA really stood out. After the emotionally devastating events of the Acid Tokyo arc and a certain action Kurogane takes in the Spring Thunder intro, this track is appropriately tender and powerful, capturing all the emotions I love best about Tsubsa.

Tender moments and tender music go well with Nihon Country's beautiful sakura blossoms.
