One listen.

I wanted to draw more on the imagery of where this song is used as it’s quite fitting. An area that has some bustle, but also quite calm. A calm bustle, if you will. Didn’t quite come out that way, and not enough variation, but I think what I wrote works.

Go Ichinose’s (一之瀬剛) “Lilycove City” (“ミナモシティ”) is from GBA Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire Music Super Complete and Nintendo 3DS Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Super Music Complete. These soundtracks cover Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The version I wrote about is the ORAS version, and was arranged by Shota Kageyama (景山将太).

I hope you enjoy.

Lightly lapping, calm and relaxed sounds move. Some seem to dance, almost looking for a waltz. The move up and down, they fall short and draw long, and they stay peaceful. They carry the idyllic, and the shoreline where they sit is at ease.

The sounds settle down; they rise, but they don’t aim for drama. They dance to and fro, they keep the calm. They fall under a bright day and they carry with them winding down. It’s a moment of gentleness among a series of excitements, through to fading out at the song’s end.
