Search - Taku Iwasaki :: Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuioku Hen O.S.T.

Exceptional but repetitive?

"Just to start out with that i'm a huge kenshin fan and i have every single episode along with the ovas and the movie. this is obviously the soundtrack for the 1st OVA series that is also the Trust/Betrayal movies. the music is plainly awesome, however, is it worth 40 something dollars? most of the soundtrack revolves around 2 basic themes. 1 which has a flute playing the main tune. 2nd which is the action theme where kenshin is battling. I do not think that this soundtrack is worth 40 something dollars. 4 stars for the quality of the soundtrack. if i were you, i'd download the cd off of kazaa or something and save the money."

Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X) OVA Soundtrack

"The soundtrack to the Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X) Original Video Animation, composed by Taku Iwasaki, is a masterpiece from start to finish. This soundtrack perfectly complements the animation and story in the Kenshin OVA, but the music stands quite well on its own. The soundtrack puts the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon soundtrack to shame, in my opinion. It's 16 tracks long, and includes short piano pieces (The Quiet Life), and stirring songs (War of the Last Wolves). This is one album you will most certainly be glad you bought, its beauty transcends all genres and musical tastes. JUST DON'T BUY THE IMPORT! You'll be paying too much! Just do a search for Samurai X OVA (this is the americanized name for the show), the price is less than half the cost of the import."

"When I found out that the soundtrack to this wonderful OAV was comming out I nearly had a stroke! I was literally on the floor crying because I was so happy! I'm NOT kidding. This is a must for anyone who loves either anime or music."
