One listen.

A lot of the main Pokémon games’ soundtracks are quite beloved, and for good reason. They’re composed appropriately and don’t offer more than necessary, but also appeal when removed from the context of the games. I think that in particular, for this soundtrack Hitomi Sato (佐藤仁美) put in some excellent work. What she did is incredibly fitting constantly. It’s just wonderful.

With this one I tried to draw more on the sense of adventure. I feel I should’ve tried to draw more on exploration as I feel that what I’ve written merely touches on the surface when there’s so much to draw from.

Hitomi Satos’  “Route 12 (Autumn/Winter)” (“１２番道路 (秋～冬)”) is from Nintendo DS Pokémon Black・White Super Music Collection, the soundtrack for Pokémon Black and White.

I hope you enjoy.

Another day, another adventure. The world calls out and there’s so much to see. It’s dramatic, yes, but it’s wonderful. It’s wondrous. Over hills and down in valleys, and water flows on a fresh day.

There are challenges, sure, but there are successes. There is a lot to see and learn, and it takes a lot but moving forward is still desired. So much will be missed if stopping here, and there is no desire to stop anyway. Things don’t stop, and neither does the journey. It continues among the verdant landscape, and it continues as the sounds fade and the song ends.
