Regardless of the emotional ups and downs, “Nagisa’s” beautiful melody buoys us with a hope that happiness is just around the corner.Īfter all, “Nagisa” makes its appearance after “Town, Flow of Time, People,” which is depressing as it illustrates the hopeless, despairing thoughts that have encumbered Tomoya’s mind. Her theme may be simplistic, but it illustrates her warm personality, her caring nature, and her determination to see things through in spite of her health problems. Of all the character themes though, I consider Nagisa’s to be the most important because of the role she plays in Tomoya’s life and, by extension, the anime. Kotomi’s theme, “Études pour les petites supercordes,” expresses her bumbling but good-hearted nature that endears her to the audience. For example, Fuko’s theme, “Hurry, Starfish,” will elicit cheers and groans depending on one’s perception of her, but there’s no denying that the piece’s light-hearted, spritely aura gets her eccentric, capricious nature down pat. The question is where exactly one starts when addressing this soundtrack? There’s no doubt that the characters themes are particularly delightful. Much credit goes to Key’s Jun Maeda, Shinji Orito, and Magome Togoshi for delivering unto us a soundtrack that is absolutely beautiful in the way it captures the mood of the series and to Lia and riya, whose performances made this album truly shine as my favorite soundtrack to a Key/Kyoto Animation collaboration. Its power is such that the right melody transforms a scene that’s merely sad into one that’s emotionally wrenching. In the face of tragedy, no bond is stronger, no foundation of support better.Īnd as we sit through Tomoya’s ups and downs, Clannad’s OST lets its emotions flow discreetly, but effectively. Through it all, Clannad serves as a reminder that family is forever. Its story is that of a rich emotional brew that tells of how its characters, Tomoya Okazaki and Nagisa Furukawa, fall in love and face the obstacles that fate has puts in their path together. Review: Clannad’s anime soundtrack, like the anime itself, yield a mixture of the wonderful and bittersweet. Magome Togoshi Jun Maeda Shinji Orito riya Lia kiku
