Track 01. Warning (0:08)
This is the same as the first track from the Act 1.0 CD, but the time is cut so that it flows right into the next track...
Track 02. Tenshi no Yubikiri - TV Size (1:30) Lyrics
This is the TV edit of the OP theme.
Track 03. Unopposed Advance (2:32)
A medium tempo song that begins heavy on drums and bass. A little ways in a piano comes in and takes a solo about halfway through. Very 'Los Angeles Surfing Contest' sounding.
Track 04. Cart Before the Horse 2 (3:12)
A very very slow rendition of a track from the Act 1.0 soundtrack. The solos are a little different but otherwise the only difference is the immense slowing of tempo.
Track 05. Absolute Jubilance (5:12)
A nice paced song with acoustic guitar, keyboard, piano, and a light drum set that conveys a peaceful mood. Towards the end, violins come in.
Track 06. Miyazawa Yukino 6 (3:10)
This is a rendition of "Miyazawa Yukino 4" from the Act 1.0 CD. The only real difference is it's done on piano instead of violins, so it differs slightly.
Track 07. Yume no Naka He 3 (3:23)
This rendition of the ending theme is just the violins from a different rendition from the Act 1.0 CD.
Track 08. Miyazawa Yukino 7 (2:30)
This is a rendition of "Miyazawa Yukino 5" from the Act 1.0 CD. Just like the original, it's played on the piano only, however there are minor differences. Overall, it's not that much different.
Track 09. Miyazawa Yukino 8 (2:16)
This is a rendition of "Miyazawa Yukino 2" from the Act 1.0 CD. Unlike the previous renditions, this one is quite different. It sounds very much like a Sousa march mixed with fragments of the Italian-sounding part of the original track. A very strange mixture, but somehow it works.
Track 10. Groping in the Dark 1 (2:08)
A nice slow romantic piece played on the piano. Background on middle-low notes, melody on higher notes. This piece best conveys Yukino and Souichirou's shared moments of love.
Track 11. S.O.S. - On Air Version (1:19) Lyrics
This is a remake of a Japanese classic from the 1970s by Pink Ladies, sung by the seiyuu for Tsukino and Kano. It is played during Yukino's first moments truly alone with Souichirou because of her anxiety. The full version is on Setsu-Getsu-Ka.
Track 12. Taking it Easy (4:03)
This begins slow with a trombone, with a piano and keyboard coming in, followed by a saxophone. This is used as Asaba BGM sometimes, because of its similarity to "Coexistence" from the Act 1.0 CD.
Track 13. Yume no Naka He 4 (3:10)
This rendition of the ending theme uses acoustic guitar and piano. Nothing really stands out about this rendition.
Track 14. Miyazawa Yukino 9 (1:52)
This is another rendition of "Miyazawa Yukino 5" from the Act 1.0 CD, done on violins. An extremely deep violin as the bass part, and normal-pitched violins have the melody and background.
Track 15. Confusion (2:08)
A really cute piece done on woodblocks, vibraphone, keyboard, muted trumpet, and distorted guitar. This is used to convey moments of extreme bewilderment or obliviousness.
Track 16. Clouds and Water (3:40)
A medium-slow piece using violins, jazz keyboard, and acoustic guitar. This piece conveys a peaceful setting.
Track 17. Yume no Naka He 5 (2:51)
Electric guitar, piano, drums, bass, and lots of brass are used for this rendition of the ending theme. Distorted guitar, trumpet, and trombone get the melody. Piano solo midway through. This is a very fun and fast paced rendition!
Track 18. Astonishment (3:15)
A medium tempo piece with drums, electric guitar, brass, and a cowbell. Electric guitar takes a solo near the middle. This piece is used to convey shock but sometimes is used as a general piece.
Track 19. Sudden Change (2:06)
A very fast song with drums, bongos, piano, saxophone, and brass. Saxophone takes a solo a little ways in. This piece is used to convey craziness or a quick shift of pace.
Track 20. Lonely Figure (2:45)
This is a much slower version of "Groping in the Dark." Nothing really changes here except the tempo.
Track 21. Youkai Ningen (0:31) Lyrics
This is the karaoke song Yukino and her friends sung during their first day of summer vacation. Vocals by the seiyuu for Yukino, Tsubasa, Maho, Aya, and Tsubaki. (Rika didn't sing.)
Track 22. Miyazawa Yukino 10 (3:39)
This is a very slow rendition of "Miyazawa Yukino 5" from the Act 1.0 CD. Unlike the last piano rendition of this song, the only thing that changes is the tempo.
Track 23. Treasure Every Meeting 2 (2:59)
This is the same as "Treasure Every Meeting" from the Act 1.0 CD, however it's an octave higher. Other than that, nothing changes.
Track 24. Clear the Charge (2:20)
This is a nicely paced song with two hawaiian guitars, an electric guitar, latin percussion, and bass. It conveys the solving of a crisis and the returning of peace.
Track 25. Yume no Naka He - TV Size (1:24)
This is the TV edit of the ED theme. For whatever reason, the vocals seem a little drowned out by the music, whereas they don't in the full version, but the song is still good.
