The music of D.C.if (Da Capo if) – The magic restored

Inspired by the numerous comparisons of D.C.if's end scene to a similar one in DCIISS, I revisited Oto-nee goodness in DCIISS 12. It was TERRIFIC. I remember again why I had betrayed my imouto-roots to band behind Otome. I remember why I'll be getting the DCIISS DVDs. But I also remembered that DCIISS, though excellent by the franchise standards, just did not have the emotional impact of the original Da Capo. The key missing ingredient? A fitting soundtrack.

D.C.if, on the other hand, retained the magic because they used the original D.C. score. ZEXCS must have a tanuki's mind since they weaved almost all my favourite D.C. bgm into the OVA. Here's sharing 5 reasons why the OVA is so outstanding.

(Edit: 11 Mar 2009 - BGMs removed)

It's times like this I wished I could play the piano and serenade to my Kotori (MaxFac PVC make) Hoping they would have "Fuan" and "Kyoudai nandakara" in part 2.

  1. I’ve got to say, those five selections are definitely among the best in the entire D.C. OST collection. OVA notwithstanding, though, I must say that I will never forget the original scene that accompanied the fifth song; preferences about the heroines aside, I still think that scene was one of the most memorable of the whole franchise (and, for me, in all anime). The music definitely played a huge part.

  2. the 5th piece was played at quite a few poignant scenes which one was it? :) My favourite is the 4th track – Sukuwareru Kotori. Played in the end of ep 22 for Yoriko. Beautiful beyond words. XD

  3. Pedro’s tears won’t stop flowing like a waterfall..

    I’ll have to say the 5th piece is my #1, but it’s only I tiny bit ahead of the 4th one

  4. Oh — the main time I was referring to for the fifth song in the original series was the ending of episode 19. The way they did that whole scene is a classic in my eyes.

  5. Kvakond: Glad you enjoyed the bgms. :)

    relentlessflame: Ah the one that Nemu was ‘made a woman’. One of those emotional scenes that makes Da Capo what it is :)

    @ Darren Nicolaye

    You don’t have a right to demand so don’t unless you want to be hit by the banhammer. In any case, Stripey said he sent you an email in his 2 Feb. Take this up with him privately via email (see the About page).

    @ Stripey

    Bro, I would appreciate it if you didn’t get me into trouble by trading music via Hontouni.com

    @ All

    Any further requests for mp3s will be deleted. Go look in the interwebs yourself, you’re all smart people after all. Or, ideally, if you’re already a big boy/girl with your own salary and credit card, go buy the CD.

  19. DarrenNicolaye: I already pointed you in the direction in the previous email. You can find the OST yourself.

    Zyl: Bro, no music trading was been done on Hontouni. I will disable all my music posts once I get home tonight.

  20. why do you say Thanks Stripey ^^

  21. Bro, thanks for the clarification.

    Your intended course of action is much appreciated but I think there’s no need to penalize the rest of your readers because of one inconsiderate person.
