One listen.

For this particular soundtrack album, not all the songs loop, so there’s a bit more pressure to get things across. I had an idea of some of the things I wanted to touch upon when going into this and those came through. I think having the pressure helped a little too, though I probably could’ve had a few repeats and drawn more on scenery.

Hitomi Sato’s (佐藤仁美) “Eterna Forest” (“ハクタイのもり”) is from Nintendo DS Pokémon Diamond & Pearl Super Music Collection, the soundtrack for Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and most of Platinum.

I hope you enjoy.

A light twinkle as woodwind comes in through the refreshing space. Keys and soon percussion, and a little bit of bass flow through, playing relaxed and at ease, almost.

There’s something fanciful here, but also about taking it easy, and when the energy picks up as though a breeze carrying steps forward, it still all feels relaxed. It still feels dewy, almost. All things are light and refreshing. They play with a mystical, almost ethereal feel. Almost a dance of nature, and they continue as they fade and the song ends.
