Lyrics (thanks to Canta-Per-Me):
astiya miya sita
isi mite ita



The entire Kara no Kyoukai series? AMAZING. There are no words that can express the complete magic of this entire series. Anyway, each movie pretty much has its own theme (the fourth and fifth were remixes of the melody and instrumentals of their respective ending themes), but the first movie's theme is done in bells in the M12 part of this track. The M13 part of this track is the overall Kara no Kyoukai theme, that's shared throughout the seven movies. This track is a good picture of the overall feel of the series and the music throughout the five OSTs that have been released so far. Here's hoping Yuki Kajiura does as amazing of an OST on the next one!

Despite being such an amazing collection of music, it can be said that this track's fault is the same as its strength, and persists throughout the entire collection of OSTs - not once do we get an actual song from this OST. We get snippets, we get combinations, and all in all it is little more than an exact lift of the music from the actual movie, second by second. In animes such as Mai-HiME, the main fighting theme, Mezame, was cut and remixed over and over, but the original is absolutely breathtaking. There is no "original" on these OSTs. However, if you like a particular cut of a song, you'll get that exact same cut on the OST, like this one. It's a very interesting way to do an OST, but it doesn't give much variety nor coherent tracks (some of these tracks are 10 seconds or so!)

Anyway, Kara no Kyoukai is awesome. As is its music, despite its faults. Check back every day this week until the release for more Kara no Kyoukai music awesomeness!
