Music is highly subjective and can be hard to discuss, but I wanted to share a few thoughts on this track.
The third opening, 天空カフェテリア, is absolutely beautiful. I am especially in love with the first 9 seconds. This intro feels incredibly nostalgic, romantic, and dreamy — it truly pulls you up into the skies (Tenkuu / 天空). and probably hits the exact musical patterns that resonate with my soul.
What’s even more interesting is how this motif returns during the chorus (around the 0:59 mark). Even though the background instruments switch to a bright major key and all the characters are singing with pure joy in their voices, I still hear a faint undertone of sadness in that specific chord progression. I’m no music theory expert (more like a dilettante with a terrible ear, haha), but it feels like there is a subtle piano layer that transforms a simple, cheerful subdominant chord into a dreamy, slightly melancholic Maj7. It adds such a beautiful depth to the song. Idk how many times I relistined this track today in different versions..
I am always amazed by the sheer volume of music produced for CGDCT anime like K-ON!, YuruYuri, GochiUsa — there are definitelly over a hundred tracks! I always tell myself that I will listen to every single one of them someday.....
What do you guys think of OP 3 compared to the others? Do you also catch that vibe in the chorus? Do you listen some character songs?
I'm trying new format of posts, so there are must be at least 1 comment
