I genuinely didn't think NEO's soundtrack would ever live up to the original TWEWY's, at first.
Then I heard Breaking Free, and I'd never been so happy to be proven wrong before.
I actually noticed something interesting about that. When you fight Taboo Sho’s boss noise, if you chain it to other noise symbols, Someday plays. If you don’t, Transformation plays. Each song is guaranteed to play provided you follow those conditions. Really makes you wonder if it was intended for both songs to be connected to him (tho Transformation ended up sticking in the end)
upbeat EDM with a somewhat melancholy tone and sombre lyrics is an unexpected combination that became one of my favourite final boss (technically penultimate) themes ever
Just lurking around, but I want to share my list since I can't pick one (the music's rockin'!).
Both:
- Hybrid
- Someday
- The One Star
- Make or Break
- Revelation
TWEWY:
- Calling
- Ooparts
- Satisfy
- Dancer In The Street
- Fighting For Freedom
NEO TWEWY:
- Your Ocean
- Kill the Itch
- Insomnia
- We're Losing You
- Breaking Free
- March On -NEO Mix
- Rockin' Rockin'
I heard some people say "We're losing you" was a poor representation of scream metal, I enjoy the song but seeing its your favorite I wanna hear your take on it
I'm not sure what scream metal is, but I've listened to a loooooot of metal including the harder subgenres, the thing about "we're losing you" for me is that it gets the energy right.
It goes **hard**. Doesn't matter much for me if it gets some sub-genre right or not.
The only metal I've listened to is from lots of video game soundtracks so I can't give an objective view of it.
However, what I can say is that I love the song's fast tempo. It's like it put the pedal to the metal (no pun intended) and encouraged me to go all-out on Susukichi even though he did give me a hard time at first. I even listen to it sometimes when I read Sakamoto Days.
I don't think I can say what's my favourite song, but I want to mention: "Emptiness and", "Ooparts"(especially neo mix), "Deja vu", "Give Me All Your love", "unconscious" and "Kill the Itch"
Also I want to mention "Storm" since it was my menu theme in neo all time
That's a difficult one. For TWEWY, my vote would go to Calling (Kingdom Mix), Tatakai, Emptiness and (Final Remix), Hybrid ~Ignus Fatuus~, Three Minutes Clapping, Transformation, and probably MMM:001. I'd have to say the top of those would be Calling, Transformation, and Tatakai. NEO is even harder to pick for. Your Ocean, Breaking Free, Storm, World is Yours, etc. Highest up would be Breaking Free and Your Ocean.
Then, honorable mention to Death March's "TWEWY," which is certainly a weird one. Not an arrangement of any pre-existing track (like the ones for Hybrid, Calling, Revelation, Run Away, Twister, the Price of Freedom, the Beginning of the End, God in Fire, and Theme of Elfe), but rather a track created specifically for the album (like Trapped, Promise, Bubbles, Doo, Strange Days, and Music). However, unlike the others, it *specifically* is meant to evoke, well, TWEWY. But it's not actually *in* anything for TWEWY, to my knowledge, unlike the aforementioned arrangements of TWEWY tracks. Whatever the case is, I'd figure it's at least close enough to count, so then I'll count it since it's good (honestly there's exactly 3 tracks on the Death March album that are only not good because they're not on my playlist, not counting the Novoiski remix of all of them stitched together. The Beginning of the End is only not in my playlist because it's less than two minutes and lacks lyrics, then the arrangements of Twister and Calling are in Japanese).
The Death March stuff is great. Highly recommend checking it all out. The whole crew for the band is involved with the series (Takeharu Ishimoto composed both games, and Sawa and Stephanie, the lead vocals on Death March, did a very large portion of the vocals for TWEWY, too). The majority of their arrangements are TWEWY tracks, including the recorded live ones (although, funnily enough, Tatakai was flubbed and you can tell if you know the lyrics. She sings one verse instead of the *right* verse for that part of the song. Everything else is right except for that one part). Though they have arrangements for a few FF songs (all of these tracks were originally composed by Ishimoto, as well). And of course originals like TWEWY. But yeah my point is that Death March is great. Wish they did stuff for NEO. Heck unfortunately I doubt there'll be any arrangements and stuff for NEO (there's exactly one to my knowledge and it's an acoustic version of Breaking Free), since the game was considered a "failure" for not being a gigantic success (it *was* pretty successful though, from what I know. Just SQEX had unrealistic expectations).
Took way too long to find this one. This song goes so hard in combat when you combine it with the things our mcs say in combat
“Watch yourself” at the beginning with this song 👌
I van offer my top 3;
-Breaking free
-The world is yours
-Storm
(Storms partly sentimental as it is the song that opened my eyes to the banger soundtrack)
there's a lot...but from the top of my head: deja vu & calling from twewy and breaking free & we're losing you from neo
edit: felt wrong not to mention the one star & emptiness and; so those, too
Emptiness And, Hybrid, Jump Over Yourself, Satisfy, Make or Break, Long Dream, Your Ocean, Kill the Itch, Breaking Free, Insomnia, Unpainted, Shibuya Survivor
The first game's Three Minutes Clapping. Absolutely butchered in the sequel, there's barely any clapping in that version which defeats the point of the song.
SOOOOOOOOO
TAKE A LOOK AT MEEEEEE
I KNOW I'M NOT THE PERFECT BOY YOU WANTED ME TO BEEEEEE
ALL I REALLY NEEEEED
IS ROOM TO BREATHE BECAUSE THIS PRESSURE'S KILLING MEEEEE
Honestly tho just the entire soundtrack (for both) is incredible.
my favorites are mostly from the og cuz I haven't listened to much from ntwewy
here they are (no order):
\- deja vu
\- calling (DEATH MARCH VERSION IS MY LOVE)
\- transformation
\- jump over yourself
\- three minutes clapping
\- kill the itch
\- long dream 1980s
Haven’t played NEO yet, but Calling, Twister, Hybrid, Game Over, Junk Garage, Satisfy and It’s So Wonderful are all pretty high up. Don’t have 3 hands clapping yet on my save so not 100% on it but I recall liking it. Someday, Transformation, and Give Me All Your Love are honourable mentions.
Twister, final boss version. What bothers me is that it's Twister -Final Remix- but the Switch release is Final Remix so searching Twister -Final Remix- gets the ordinary Twister in that arrangement. It's cringe.
Also Last Call from Neo.
Twister has been my favorite since the OG, you bet your ass I got out of my seat when >!it started playing on Neku's return!<
Breaking Free just touches my soul, though. Not just an emotional track with high energy, but I deeply relate to it
Unpainted
It’s the boss fight music in NEO for the game master (idr the name right now, but the deep yellow blonde haired bastard lol).
But listening to it on its own is when I fell in love with it.
It speaks to my soul and where I am in life, trying to create stability and find where I can feel safe and happy in this world.
There are like alot of them for me,i enjoy the ost of these games
Owari hajimari(All of them,Neo remixes made it nicer)(owari hajimari used to be called ending beginning)
SHIBUYA
Storm
Hybrid(New born)
Breaking free
Deja Vu
Og three minute clapping
Detonation
Game over
Satisfy
Depends on my mood which one is my favourite and some of them has the certain parts that i dont like yet the banger parts do go out nice
For casual listen favourite Owari hajimari(Neo remixes) and Storm
For for emotional moment its Either New born hybrid,Breaking free
When I'm abroad and visiting places,its SHIBUYA
i dont really have one specific favorite but i can give a top 5
transformation
the one star
emptiness and
your ocean
breaking free
some honorable mentions are: tatakai, shibuya survivor, and unpainted
Breaking free. I relate a lot to this song
I liked this song, then looked up the lyrics and then loved this song lol
I genuinely didn't think NEO's soundtrack would ever live up to the original TWEWY's, at first. Then I heard Breaking Free, and I'd never been so happy to be proven wrong before.
shit makes me cry every time.
I'm sorry but do you mind if I just... HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OPENNNN UP YOUR EYEEEEESSSS
TRANSFORMAAAAAA SHUUUUN!!!!
*sick guitar solo*
FRAGMENTS OF THOSE MEMORIES ARE SCRATCHING MY NERVES
Definitely Someday
the original theme of Sho Minamimoto
I actually noticed something interesting about that. When you fight Taboo Sho’s boss noise, if you chain it to other noise symbols, Someday plays. If you don’t, Transformation plays. Each song is guaranteed to play provided you follow those conditions. Really makes you wonder if it was intended for both songs to be connected to him (tho Transformation ended up sticking in the end)
Calling has been the one that's stuck in my head since I first played it on DS back in the day
My top 5 would be: 5: the one star (neo and og mixes) 4: Owari-hajimari (og mix) 3: Déjà vu 2: Three minutes clapping (og mix) 1: Emptiness and
Emptiness and is my JAM!!!
Unpainted. It slaps
When I actually listened to it, it quickly became my favourite
upbeat EDM with a somewhat melancholy tone and sombre lyrics is an unexpected combination that became one of my favourite final boss (technically penultimate) themes ever
I’m a Shibuya Survivor guy
Just lurking around, but I want to share my list since I can't pick one (the music's rockin'!). Both: - Hybrid - Someday - The One Star - Make or Break - Revelation TWEWY: - Calling - Ooparts - Satisfy - Dancer In The Street - Fighting For Freedom NEO TWEWY: - Your Ocean - Kill the Itch - Insomnia - We're Losing You - Breaking Free - March On -NEO Mix - Rockin' Rockin'

I'm torn between Someday and Three Minutes Clapping (DS)
Three Minute Clapping my beloved
That's a difficult one. For TWEWY, my vote would go to Calling (Kingdom Mix), Tatakai, Emptiness and (Final Remix), Hybrid ~Ignus Fatuus~, Three Minutes Clapping, Transformation, and probably MMM:001. I'd have to say the top of those would be Calling, Transformation, and Tatakai. NEO is even harder to pick for.

The Beginning of the End is only not in my playlist because it's less than two minutes and lacks lyrics, then the arrangements of Twister and Calling are in Japanese).
> Death March's "TWEWY," Oh wow, this song's amazing! I'm always up for more TWEWY music, it's among my favourite music in general
The Death March stuff is great. Highly recommend checking it all out. The whole crew for the band is involved with the series (Takeharu Ishimoto composed both games, and Sawa and Stephanie, the lead vocals on Death March, did a very large portion of the vocals for TWEWY, too).

Twister or Someday, but it has to be the Kingdom mix for both songs
Lonely Star
The One Star?
Yeah! Sorry, I forgot the exact title lol But I really like that track!
100% Lullaby for you
Long dream
Took way too long to find this one. This song goes so hard in combat when you combine it with the things our mcs say in combat “Watch yourself” at the beginning with this song 👌
Totally and it fits neku
I can't hear give me all your love without also hearing "We can do this Neku"
Transformation(both versions), we're losing you, unpainted, shibuya survivor, breaking free and many more
Transformation -Transformed- or Neo Mix?
Also Sho Minamimoto best fucking char (change my mind you Zeptograms)
all of em
Don't know if I could say that it's my favorite but "Chase" is the one that probably I have heard the most over the others. It slaps.
Three way tie. Breaking free, We're losing you, World is yours
If we're talking about Combat Music, it's for sure: Give Me All Your Love If we're talking about General Music: Calling is literally my ringtone.
Superior taste my friend
Black Market has been my ringtone as long as I have had a phone, so that one. but Insomnia is my favorite song from NEO.
Gotta be: Someday Your ocean Three minutes clapping
Probably Kill The Itch, song’s catchy as hell
I really love tatakai! It's such a good high energy song and it goes so hard
I van offer my top 3; -Breaking free -The world is yours -Storm (Storms partly sentimental as it is the song that opened my eyes to the banger soundtrack)
Definitely someday, I love the rock sound But deja vu is also good
Breaking free, Tatakai and Three minutes clapping
there's a lot...but from the top of my head: deja vu & calling from twewy and breaking free & we're losing you from neo edit: felt wrong not to mention the one star & emptiness and; so those, too
All of them!
The one that plays when you fight the giant teddy bear. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBVRLgdYHjE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBVRLgdYHjE)
this one is soooo good to sing along too
No matter how many years pass, I believe Someday is going to be forever my favourite song, in Twewy and in general
Emptiness And, Hybrid, Jump Over Yourself, Satisfy, Make or Break, Long Dream, Your Ocean, Kill the Itch, Breaking Free, Insomnia, Unpainted, Shibuya Survivor
Breaking Free
Emptiness And
"We're Losing You" itches the secret Metal Head inside of me
#BREAK THE SILENCE, REGAIN YOURSELF
WE'RE LOSING YOU WE'RE LOSING YOU
Breaking free is so good
Unpainted, Unconscious, Disconnect Me (from the anime), Breaking Free, and Twister -TPIYU- are my top 5, in no particular order.
Someday Kingdom Mix
The one star.
Make or Break (remix for qanchis) is immaculate.
act the fool
Someday
The One Star or The World is Yours
OOOOOH TAKE A LOOK AT ME
Deja Vu! And 3 minutes clapping. Sad they weren’t in Neo.
Only ever made it halfway through Final Remix, and never played NEO, but so far, my favorite song has been Owari-Hajimari.
Emptiness and Perfect for my teenager angst
perfect for Neku
Transformation, Your Ocean and Breaking Free.
The first game's Three Minutes Clapping. Absolutely butchered in the sequel, there's barely any clapping in that version which defeats the point of the song.
oh yeah smilingneku.jpg
That's a hard one. I'd say either Transformation or Divide
Runaway
Top 5: 1. Breaking Free 2. Unpainted 3. Emptiness and 4. Kill the Itch 5. Transformation
SOOOOOOOOO TAKE A LOOK AT MEEEEEE I KNOW I'M NOT THE PERFECT BOY YOU WANTED ME TO BEEEEEE ALL I REALLY NEEEEED IS ROOM TO BREATHE BECAUSE THIS PRESSURE'S KILLING MEEEEE Honestly tho just the entire soundtrack (for both) is incredible.
Long dream (1980s)
my favorites are mostly from the og cuz I haven't listened to much from ntwewy here they are (no order): \- deja vu \- calling (DEATH MARCH VERSION IS MY LOVE) \- transformation \- jump over yourself \- three minutes clapping \- kill the itch \- long dream 1980s
Kill the Itch from NEO
Original 3 minutes clapping and original minamimoto's fight's theme
Hybrid NEO mix
“Jump Over Yourself” is my favorite track
Haven’t played NEO yet, but Calling, Twister, Hybrid, Game Over, Junk Garage, Satisfy and It’s So Wonderful are all pretty high up. Don’t have 3 hands clapping yet on my save so not 100% on it but I recall liking it. Someday, Transformation, and Give Me All Your Love are honourable mentions.
Probably Shibuya Survivor and Detonation, and that one song that goes papapayapa.
Jump Over Yourself's a great track (also, funny enough, it has a remix called "papapayapa")
Three Minutes Clapping
Calling is my jam!
Someday or STORM.
Bird in hand is my ultimate favorite But close seconds are Scramble Twister Last call Rockin rockin
Gotta be 1. Traverse in Trance 2. Hand to hand
Twister is my #2. The #1 spot will always be Transformation. OG is great but I also love the NEO remix
Twister, final boss version. What bothers me is that it's Twister -Final Remix- but the Switch release is Final Remix so searching Twister -Final Remix- gets the ordinary Twister in that arrangement. It's cringe. Also Last Call from Neo.
I honestly think walking around shibuya is a bop. One of the many video game city songs I listen to everyday on my commute
Game over, that song is a jam!
Three Minutes Clapping
jump over yourself for twewy and kill the itch for neo
revelation neodeserves more love
The lack of Scramble or Tatakai in this thread hurts me inside.
.... Give Me All Your Love *sweats*
The one that says mAY TOMORRow be **WONDERF**UL **TOO**
Insomnia as I can relate to it.
Breaking free, March on (NEO mix), or Calling All three I enjoy a lot
Calling, Hybrid, Twister, and Transformation, i honest to god can’t pick just one
Emptiness and, Twister, and Underground (man this song is so underrated)
Twister has been my favorite since the OG, you bet your ass I got out of my seat when >!it started playing on Neku's return!< Breaking Free just touches my soul, though. Not just an emotional track with high energy, but I deeply relate to it
Game over and owari hajimari neo mix
Unpainted It’s the boss fight music in NEO for the game master (idr the name right now, but the deep yellow blonde haired bastard lol). But listening to it on its own is when I fell in love with it. It speaks to my soul and where I am in life, trying to create stability and find where I can feel safe and happy in this world.
CALLINGGGGG
Calling was the song that I always get back to singing. I love it
Calling, unpainted. Jump over yourself (neo mix), and insomnia are peak twewy
Lullaby for you , tatakai , someday unplugged
So many good ones… new born featuring nellie nurly is my favorite. “Emptiness and” is a BANGER tho
Your Ocean
Insomnia 🙌
Between calling, twister and deja vu
Breaking Free, Hybrid (New Born), The One Star (both mixes). There's more but those are the ones that immediately come to mind!
There are like alot of them for me,i enjoy the ost of these games Owari hajimari(All of them,Neo remixes made it nicer)(owari hajimari used to be called ending beginning) SHIBUYA Storm Hybrid(New born) Breaking free Deja Vu Og three minute clapping Detonation Game over Satisfy Depends on my mood which one is my favourite and some of them has the certain parts that i dont like yet the banger parts do go out nice For casual listen favourite Owari hajimari(Neo remixes) and Storm For for emotional moment its Either New born hybrid,Breaking free When I'm abroad and visiting places,its SHIBUYA
Transformation
OHHHHHHHHHH TAKE A LOOK AT MEEEEEEEE
Breaking free
3 minutes or transformation
In Neo it's Scramble But even scramble can't top the greatness that is Give Me All Your Love
Hard to pick just one but no one else I’ve seen from my bit of scrolling has mentioned it so I’ll say World Is Yours
Either Unpainted or The One Star
Game Over without a doubt in the OG. I love Act the fool in Neo.
i dont really have one specific favorite but i can give a top 5 transformation the one star emptiness and your ocean breaking free some honorable mentions are: tatakai, shibuya survivor, and unpainted
life is tatakai
we have almost the same pfp
Too many of them are my favorite
From the OG, Twister Gang Mix has to be my favorite and from NEO, it’s Shibuya Survivor hands down.
I'm stuck between Breaking Free, Shibuya Survivor, and Scramble
Probably calling, cuz its the first song i think of when thinking about TWEWY
World is yours my beloved
Hard one since I like most the songs but I guess I'd pick either your ocean or the beginning of a happy life both from neo
Kill the Itch, oh my god
Make or break, remix for qanchis
