Description
Rather than an imaginary game, I composed towards an imaginary made up Anime concept/story and as such, created a “menu music” for myself to compose towards as anime soundtrack production involves following a “menu music” most of the time.
Made up Anime Synopsis: The story follows a 1st year high school boy who suffers from Chuunibyou/eighth grade syndrome. He believes that he has special powers, this causes him to be labeled as strange in his class and a lot of his classmates tend to avoid him, except for a few of his friends who can put up with his weird antics despite their annoyance. However, even though he is weird, everyday life is always interesting with him, however despite his eccentric personality, he has a sad past that lead him to who he is now.
Overall Soundtrack Detail: I wanted to make the overall soundtrack list to be somewhat emotional and laid back or lighthearted. So I created some soundtracks to show the everyday life of the main character and his friends putting up with his weird quirkiness such as accompanying our protagonist on adventures from class to the clubroom and taking part in his fight against enemy forces like the teachers or a random stranger. Some soundtracks also evoke a feeling of sadness and resolve for the main character’s past and present self. A few soundtracks were inspired by the anime “Chuunibyou Demo Koi Ga Shitai” and “Violet Evergarden”.
Message from the artist
This is my first time doing a OST Composing Jam, so my apologies for not exactly following the rule by making a made up Anime instead of a game, but I hope you enjoy the soundtrack I created.
If you aren’t able to download the file or just don't want to download it, you can listen to all the soundtrack with this link here or through my Soundcloud: https://play.reelcrafter.com/Andy_Lin/A-Delusional-Life-Soundtracks
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
My concept for the story and soundtrack is based on the Anime “Chuunibyou Demo Koi Ga Shitai”. I wrote some soundtracks to have a feeling of laid back but also to show the protagonist’s chuunibyou like he is living in his own little world, adventuring the hallway and fighting “enemies”. I also wrote some emotional soundtracks based on the child with a vague looming parent figure from the given image to showcase the protagonist’s past and present self.
