#Soundtrack

A soundtrack is a magical music collection that manipulates the emotions of visual works. It adjusts the emotional voltage to make the audience's hearts dance or freeze, serving as a treasure trove of production BGM. It attaches sound to the protagonist yet is immediately forgotten in silence, living a double life. If it becomes a hit, the soundtrack album walks independently like an external hero, but if unused, it gathers dust in the back of a shelf as the shadowy star.

A soundtrack album is a product that extracts the emotional explosions of a visual work and traps them in an audio player. The melodies that once clutched your heart in the theater now repeatedly play, targeting the consumer’s nostalgia pocket. It dangles bait like lavish artwork and limited editions, only to become shelf clutter or a subscription burden in the end. Though it praises the power of music, it’s actually a resale operation that recycles past impressions. As a machine converting emotions into coins, it breathes in a corner of digital stores today as well.

Video game music is the electronic accompaniment that echoes behind screens, seizing players’ attention only to be forgotten the moment the console shuts off. From the clicky charm of chiptune to the sweeping majesty of orchestral scores, it wields the power to manipulate both frame rates and emotions. Hit titles boast soundtrack sales as excuses for extra profit, while flops are blamed on poorly composed BGM. Universally praised in theory yet perpetually sidelined in practice, it is the unsung casualty of the dual-score economy.
