01. The Miyazawas (3:00)
This is an instrumental of a track from the Act 1.0 CD. Other than the lack of vocals, nothing is different.
02. In High Spirits (3:27)
This is a really bouncy song using electric guitar, piano, and tambourine. Brass has the melody. Electric guitar solo halfway through. Nothing really stands out about this song but it's good and happy!
03. Astonishment 2 (2:28)
This is a faster version of a song on the Act 2.0 CD. Only thing different is the tempo.
04. Withdrawing Concern 1 (2:39)
This is a piece done on piano and acoustic guitar. It reflects a peaceful mood after settling a conflict. It resembles a track from the Act 2.0 CD which used many more instruments.
05. Peace 4 (2:21)
This is a version of a track off the Act 1.0 CD done on two acoustic guitars. The melody remains fairly loyal to the original, except the solo was omitted. This version is a little more peaceful than the one with the trumpet lead.
06. Silent Thought (4:14)
This sounds almost middle eastern, using flute, piano, tambourine, triangle, wind chimes, and an African drum. This piece conveys a something like a fantasy dream because of it's enchanting melody.
07. Tense Situation (4:15)
This piece starts out with piano, a very simple background and melody that conveys stress. The key changes a few times. A little ways in, two muted trumpets come in. Bass and drums with a brass instrument make up the bridge. Electric guitar and cowbell come in after the first bridge.
08. Aftertaste (2:57)
Bass and piano begin this calm piece. A muted harp takes the melody. Acoustic guitar, violin, and vibraphone come in after about a minute. Towards the end the piece returns to its original three instruments.
09. Arima Souichirou 3 (4:14)
This is a piano-only, slower version of Arima Souichirou 2 from the Act 1.0 CD. All violin parts are replaced by piano.
10. Miyazawa Yukino 11 (3:56)
This is a slower version of Miyazawa Yukino 5 from the Act 1.0 CD. Unlike the last rendition of this song, there is no difference other than the tempo.
11. Peace 5 (2:39)
This is an acoustic guitar-only rendition of the Act 1.0 track "Peace 1." The solo is different, but other than that, no difference.
12. Clouds and Water 2 (3:14)
This is an acoustic guitar-only rendition of the "Clouds and Water" track from the Act 2.0 CD. Other than the instruments used, no changes were made.
13. Daydream (0:18)
Although quick, this piece uses violins and wind chimes to display the sudden racing of a heart, and ends with violins and a string bass. This piece is used when Yukino first sees Souichirou when he returns from summer vacation.
14. Withdrawing Concerns 2 (3:29)
Violins make up the beginning of this song. It sounds almost romantic Broadway-ish. This piece is used to display passion. Suddenly the melody stops, and a violin plays the lead to "Withdrawing Concerns 1" from the Act 2.0 CD. From then on, the song is basically a violin-only rendition of the original.
15. Groping in the Dark 3 (2:46)
This is basically just a slower version of "Groping in the Dark 1" from the Act 2.0 CD, similar to "Groping in the Dark 2" from the same CD.
16. Peace 6 (2:40)
This is an acoustic guitar-only rendition of "Peace 3" from the Act 1.0 CD. The only difference other than that is the solo is cut out.
17. Cart Before the Horse 2 (3:11)
This is just an instrumental version of track 2 from this CD.
18. Encouragement (1:00)
The beginning used trumpets and brass and almost sounds like that Presidential theme song. Very march-like and upbeat.
19. Never Give Up (3:45)
This is an instrumental version of "Divided Uniforms" from the Act 1.0 CD. The same pitched saxophone and vibes from the original play the vocal parts.
20. Tenshi no Yubikiri 1 (2:51)
This is the first renditon of the OP theme, done on piano and acoustic guitar.
21. Tenshi no Yubikiri 2 (4:02)
This version is done on violins with faint traces of acoustic guitar.
22. Tenshi no Yubikiri 3 (3:15)
The third and final rendition of the OP uses violins, piano, and acoustic guitar, and is very similar to the second version, with the addition of piano.
23. Yume no Naka He 6 (1:04) Lyrics
This is the first version of the ED played on air. Only Yukino's seiyuu (Enomoto Atsuko) sings in this version (she does her own harmonies).
24. Yume no Naka He 7 (1:02) Lyrics
This is the TV size vocal ED that was played for most of the series. Both Yukino and Souichirou's seiyuu (Enomoto Atsuko, Suzuki Chihiro) sing in this version. This is different from the first two in that the second verse is not included in the TV size.
25. Preview (0:31)
This was never used on air, and is only slightly longer than the other version.
