What are you listening to right NOW?

Tot Musica / Ado x Hiroyuki Sawano
Ow, now that's something slightly different from Sawano. Guess I like it. Too bad the structure of the song is plain as often.

Natsuyume Noisy / Asaka
Title track very similar to "I believe what you said" (I love this song). Same composer of course.
VOICE is good too. If any collab with Kajiura, should be something heavy like this or Akeboshi.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 1 / Howard Shore & Bear McCreary
Meh even Shore's main theme isn't interesting :/
I didn't like the tracks they released with trailers but I thought the OST sounded quite lovely and promising from samples I checked.

It's streaming only on qobuz for whatever reason - I guess timed Amazon exclusive? What happens to the bonus tracks tho? Man, I hate exclusives and tokutens. :/
 
Masquerade (ClariS)

I’ll admit that I was skeptical when I first heard about it, because, while they have quite a few good songs, ClariS tend to go with The Most bubbly J-Pop imaginable. So I wasn’t sure how this kind of eerie track would work, but I honestly think they pulled it off! I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised; TrySail is similar and anyone from the Magia Record thread knows how much I’m obsessed with their work on Lapis, but I’m still really happy that I love this song as much as I do!

"Following each episode, Amazon Music will release a weekly soundtrack album containing the entirety of the score for each episode, (...)"

Oh, perhaps it's not available to purchase on qobuz because they will be selling a soundtrack every week.

"(...) plus additional bonus tracks only available on Amazon Music."

Oh... Or maybe they won't and it just stays streaming everywhere with bonus tracks on Amazon Music. Eh. I'll see...

Edit:
I just started listening to the soundtrack and - to be honest - I don't think I'll make it far, lol. The recording sounds like ass.

I also refuse to believe stuff like this section below (1:40 on Khazad-dum) is real players with real instruments.

Maybe it's a blessing they did not make it available for purchase.

Daikiri-Megumi/Kajiura (I was so excited this was Kajiura when I was listening to Megumi's Vintage Denim album. I love her from Slayers)
 
nocturne instrumental-Kajiura (it's so soft and pretty and then all of a sudden it's that epic Kajiura Kajiurago part that really pulls it all together. I love it so much)
