Ekoroshia (Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair [2012])
This one doesn’t need much of an introduction now, does it? It’s the game’s own Electric Guitar-based remix of the regular investigation theme (Ikoroshia), played during the game’s last remaining chapters.
Its got loads of detail added onto the original, especially noticeable for those with headphones on; even in parts that might sound the same, the Guitar work sneaks its way in to make sure everything is catchier than ever! The samples, cool Bass, and high-impact Drums from the original need mention too, for they’re the track’s much needed variety, like they were back then too. All of what I just said has probably been expressed before by many, but y’know, its deserving of all that fame!
I still remember that time when I played the rest of the game in a single session (The starting point being just a bit of progress into the game’s 2nd half), it’s something others might see as insane, given how much hours that meant, but I was so engaged in what was going on, that I even got emotional near the end despite my emotional capacity taking a backseat with how long the session was! And so, this track holds a special place in my heart as a sort of bookmark to that wonderful experience.
I don’t remember liking this track nearly as much back then, thinking it was trying too hard to surpass its predecessor’s counterpart (Which has a spoilery name, go figure), but I definitely appreciated it more and more as time went on. I’ll be happy to talk about the series with others as usual, as well as recommend it to anyone morbidly curious enough; its got lots of ups n’ downs, but those ups are so great that I remember the package as a whole rather fondly!
(Length before loop: 6.5+ minutes)
