The one problem with this CD, and I'll say this straight out, is the dialogue tracks.  I remedied this by making a copy of the CD with only the music, so if you're going to buy the CD after reading this (and you should), consider doing that.  After all, unless you speak Japanese, the dialogue tracks won't mean anything.
Anyway, this CD is just so- wow!  It has a wide range of styles.  First there's "Ai Love You", which is a really fast, bouncy, genki song that has really cool lyrics.  It's a big contrast with the next vocal track, "Late Summer Falling" which is a very melencholy and forlorn ballad.  "Puddle of Soul" is neat because it is sung by the mangaka of VGAi, Katsura Masakazu.  I don't really like it all that much because it's too bouncy and upbeat, but it's still cool because of who's singing it.  "Takashi's Dream II" is a bass piece I didn't even burn onto my extra CD because frankly I don't like the bass.  "Unseen Dream" is sung by the mangaka again, and I like this lots because it's got this dance thing going on.  My English class liked it pretty well, I think.  The next vocal track, "Frozen Flower" is awesome, not just because of the lyrics and the scene it's from, but the general mood of the song set by the both the singer's voice and the instruments, is just overwhelming.  I really like the next track, "u-re-shi-na-mi-da" because I have this thing for music boxes.  I think it's because I have like, 20 million of them in the garage.  And finally there's "Your Rainbow", or "Kimi no Niji".  Words cannot describe the absolute coolness of this song.  No, really, they can't, without talking about my creative projects anyway.  This CD rules, go get it now!
