Description
Yo! Try to imagine playing an RPG game where the protagonist arrives at her childhood village to celebrate the "Bubble Festival" and remembers all the good old days with her grandma during this festival.
Oh my, if you know me, I'm the metalhead guy, so it was difficult for me to create music in another genre, but hear me out! It's been a really good experience. I used FL 20.

Message from the artist
"Don't be scared to create new things."

Theme

How does it fit the theme?

Interesting mix with electronic music and a child lullaby, I think its really repetitive but good arrangement. Good job !

Did this come out of a metal head? I wouldn't believe it hahaha

I love the contrast of styles and sounds connected by the same theme. I enjoyed it from start to finish.

GREAT WORK!!!

The Kawaii-ness is staggering.

Your magical waltz works so well for the theme image. I love the reverb you use to convey the spacey-ness and underwater vibes of the area. I have to say I loved the ending with the very simple mallet-only portion. That was a beautiful way to end it! Well done and thank you for sharing!

OAOA FESTIVALS!!!

Nice and cute work)
I especially liked the sharp build-up from 1:57 onwards. Awesome! Good job

P.S. I listened to some of your other tracks on SoundClound.... The remix of the boss theme from Sonic is beautiful. Heh...

Developer

Oh! Don't make me blush xD Now you know I'm the metalhead guy, haha! Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it! ❤

This is really solid overall. Creativity got bumped up for doing something I don't hear often, if at all, basically a dubstep waltz. Few if any complaints on any score, just a couple little details and a maybe a spot of distortion that sounded unintentional here or there. Sounds like the theme and definitely has some JRPG vibes. The only note I'd have concretely is to melody, which is that the first couple of notes put me in mind of Chrono Trigger's map ("Wind Scene"), which was not the same vibe. But I don't know what exactly is to be done about that, it's not like I have any better ideas how you'd start.*

Anyway really solid. Mostly wish you'd done a bit more of this imaginary world!

* To be clear I'm fairly certain after the fact I had the same problem in at least one part of my own work, but I mostly just wanted to acknowledge that, since this post is about your work.

Oh! Distortion? I didn't notice that, to be honest, while I was mixing the OST... Maybe my ears got tired. As for the melody, I was listening to a couple of Wild Arms soundtracks and was inspired by them :3
Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it! ❤

I like the incorporation of the water dripping sound effect, and I like how the song builds to a climax in the middle! I did find the clap sound to be a little out of place, but overall nice work!

Developer

You're clapping when you feel happy, haha! Jokes aside, I thought it was funny to add it to make the OST more "joyful" :3 
Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it! ❤

The big climax halfway through was really cool and I honestly really appreciate the shorter entry since I am going for every rating. I also liked the droplet sounds.

So pretty! Great quality, that sort of music is right up my alley so there's no way I'd dislike it haha. Very well done!

Very cute melody and a lovely break into more future-bass sounds!  Moves like a waltz and I'm all here for it.  Nice work.

Sweet Blue Memories - I really did enjoy the composition, the only gripe I have with it is the super saw is a bit sharp which a slight low pass filter would fix that up! 

Nice work!

Now that you mention it... I didn't notice that until now. Thanks for your feedback! I really appreciate it! ❤
