Music List

Title Screen theme
Delta Concision Tuck V

An introduction to the occident.

Many paths branch from one. Echoes from across the sea yield a new adventure.

Stage 1 theme
The Fog Invites Unseen Mischief Tuck V

The first stage's theme.

A relaxing mist illustrated with subdued instruments. Familiar shadows stir trouble just out of view. Ripples of times past dance across Misty Lake.

Stage 1 Boss - Cirno's theme
An Impish Reflection on the Water Tuck V

Cirno's theme.

She's feeling just as brave this time around, and acting a fair bit stronger. However, she's really just a minor annoyance, cold and brittle. The protagonists brush off her pranks and move on.

Notes:

This song is arranged from Tomboyish Girl in Love, Cirno's theme from The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.

Stage 2 theme
Treasure the Wager, Treasure the Odds Tuck V

The second stage's theme.

For such a calm and serene path, there sure are a lot of troublemakers -- a deceptively fast-paced theme, to be sure. One excitable example makes a brief appearance. The rhythm of this theme is meant to make you feel lucky.

Notes:

This song is partly arranged from Wriggling Autumn Moon ~ Mooned Insect, Wriggle's theme from Imperishable Night.

Stage 2 Boss - Hina Kagiyama's theme
The Cheerful Presence of a Dark God Tuck V

Hina Kagiyama's theme.

This time, it's all up to chance. It's a little merciful sometimes, but you still have to do your best, no matter what. Gambling might be a poor stress-reliever...

Notes:

This song is arranged from The Road of the Misfortune God ~ Dark Road, the stage 2 theme from Mountain of Faith.

Stage 3 theme
Fizeau's Finding[1] ~ Lightray Vector Tuck V

The third stage's theme.

It's usually tricky to see in the dark. It pulls you in, engulfs you, like a sense-smothering flame. But this time, it might be best to protect your eyes. A fluttering little bug feels most at home in the dead of night, and most alive in a sea of light.

Stage 3 Boss - Wriggle Nightbug's theme
Lightningbug ~ Lightning Heart Tuck V

Wriggle Nightbug's theme.

A very motivated bug. She's at the top of the world! -- No, someone else is, she's in the middle of a tunnel. Regardless, she knows she can do anything if she puts her mind to it, right? Sounds a little "beach"-like in the introduction...

Stage 4 theme
Evidence of Ki Domestication Tuck V

The fourth stage's theme.

Another trip back into the orient... like a pendulum swinging back and forth. This theme draws inspiration from a particularly elusive musician living on the other side of the sea known for the Chinese influences in his music. Smells like rust.

Stage 4 Boss - Kurumi's theme
Marginal Red ~ The Red Word Tuck V

Kurumi's theme.

Old faces and new dreams. She's taken a new residence, something a little more comfortable than a Lake of Blood, but this confrontation is anything but. A mix of fears make the walls feel like they're closing in.

Notes:

This song is arranged from Scarlet Symphony ~ Scarlet Phoneme, Kurumi's theme from Lotus Land Story.

Stage 5 theme
Speak Not Falsely ~ Excitation Field Tuck V

The fifth stage's theme.

And back again... how did that song go? "No reason to get excited..." But in honesty, this is a combination of Eastern and Western influences now. If it were like a pendulum up to this point, then this theme is like an oscillating electric current. Those who climb risk a long fall, so look to the top and don't make a single dishonest step.

Stage 5 Boss - Iku Nagae's theme
A Prayer Worth Three Hundred Coulombs[2] Tuck V

Iku Nagae's theme.

This song went through the wringer. Perhaps that's appropriate for what the protagonists have to do. Imagine climbing a tower in the middle of a vicious thunderstorm and try not to feel exhausted. Iku provides the first tribulation.

Stage 6 theme
Summit of Revelations Tuck V

The sixth stage's theme.

At the top of the tower, you can see the world, and at what risk? A grand architectural marvel may take thousands of years to complete... this song was no different! But the end result feels like a great discovery.

Stage 6 Boss - Elly's first theme
Cosmological Battle ~ The Vacuum Catastrophe[3] Tuck V

Elly's first theme.

An old friend. I always found myself inspired by the idea of a completely inconsequential character from forgotten times climbing to great heights after fading into obscurity. She may have been a lowly gate guard the last time you saw her, but the apple's fallen on her head. She guards a different kind of gate now.

Notes:

This song is arranged from Spirit Battle ~ Perdition Crisis, Elly's theme from Lotus Land Story.

Stage 6 Boss - Elly's second theme
Deified Emergent Property ~ Ambivalent Soul Tuck V

Elly's second theme.

The most frightening and wondrous powers of the world remain just out of reach to our mortal minds. But a couple of truly brilliant people just may have found the bridge between our world and theirs... Elly is a new person now, so an arrange wouldn't speak the truth.

Stage 6 Boss - Elly's Last Spell theme
Immutable Truth Tuck V

Elly's last spell.

The most ambitious and impossibly necessary tasks must encapsulate absolutely everything. Many think of science as a body of knowledge, a sealed bubble, within which all "great discoveries" have already been achieved, but the contrary could not be more true. Science is an unending series of dark curtains to pull back, each new finding more magnificent and imperceptible than the last.

Notes:

This song is arranged from Spirit Battle ~ Perdition Crisis.

Ending theme
Dream Cycle Tuck V

The ending's theme.

In summation, class, what have we learned today?

Knowledge is the forbidden fruit; from it stem the powers of light and darkness. But it's about time the protagonists have had a snack.

Staff Roll theme
Existential Field Tuck V

The staff roll theme.

A sense of inspiration and the future is maintained from Excitation Field.

One that's a lot gentler than a thunderstorm... perhaps a bit more like a rainbow.

(Unused) Stage 5 Boss - Iku Nagae's theme
Divine Correction for Outliers Tuck V
