soundtrack

Description

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.

Definitions

• A cost-effectiveness meter that becomes a living reflection of budget and passion, from minimal melodies to full-scale orchestras.
• A supporting actor that speaks for the protagonist’s emotions yet remains a mere prelude to the dialogue.
• A master thief of art that sometimes surpasses the original and steps out of the creator’s shadow.
