I've only listened to a handful of FSTs over the years in various fandoms. I generally don't enjoy other peoples' tastes in music, really. But I, as a fellow competitor, was surprised and impressed that you and your team seemed to take a different track than most of us, so I wanted to judge this fairly, that is, not on a gut reaction of 'like' or 'dislike'.

First of all, most of these songs come with a nice little picture with the relevant lyrics. This helped me out a lot because I'm pretty lousy at hearing lyrics the first few times, and to be honest I didn't feel much like going out and finding it on my own. (I mean, I might have. Eventually. But...) But then there were a few that did not come with this picture, and one of them, being in Japanese, really needed it.

Secondly, I really like seeing the progression of the story in the mood of the music. The first track is very "boyish", I would say, suited to Hikaru's carefree early days. The second track-- and I can't describe it properly since I'm not really musically talented --I hope you'll just understand what I mean when I say it seems a lot loftier or maybe somewhat otherworldly when compared to the first, which is kind of a genius Hikaru-Sai match.

Track three I can't comment on well, but track four was excellent. Very sad, very, uhm, ghostly? It's lonely as winter winds, to me. Track five? Sort of low-down, sort of prowling, like Hikaru's search... Six, I can appreciate the lyrics at least. Seven, I genuinely liked-- seems like the kind of song to play out and ending. Half sad, but half heart-lifting, too.

...so, if you can see by my rambling, I really loved this. Like crazy. And I didn't have to like half of the songs-- I just appreciate the thought that went through this. Great job!

I see that the "picture problem" has been amended! Thumbs up.

I'm sorry I made a mistake with the first file I uploaded. I didn't save everything in the folder.

Love the FST! Not all the individual songs are the style of music I normally like, but they all fit together and the theme you chose for the soundtrack. Also, the covers are beautiful!

Kudos for continually submitting alternative fanworks to this challenge!

FSTs are not something I've seen much of so I was intrigued by this. Very much liked how the pictures are interspersed. It ties together rather well

Like others said, I'm not normally into FSTs, but this was wonderful. The download links are also much appreciated ^^.
