The gripe I have with the music, as I described with the game, is that it starts and ends. I'm used to game music where there's no distinction between start and end, and it just loops without any pauses. But besides that little nit-picky issue, the soundtrack is quite good, good enough to carry me through the game. If I listen to any song, I can probably give a setting where it was played and remember the feeling that accompanied the tune.

My favorite tracks are probably track 3, which is played during the "everyday" situations, and most of the songs played during the climaxes and emotional moments. The CD also includes the intro, Rumbling hearts and the ending, both of which I love.

However, the best part about this CD is the last two tracks on the CD. They're monologue tracks, one for Mitsuki and one for Haruka where each character verbalizes their thoughts during the 15 minutes between when Takayuki leaves Mitsuki after buying her the ring, and when he arrives at where Haruka is supposed to be. It gives some insight to what the characters where thinking about at that point. Mitsuki shows that she already has a little regret for keeping making him late, but is extremely happy about the ring. Haruka, her usual self, is nervous about why Takayuki is late and counts off the minutes. Her monologue ends with an acoustic version of Rumbling hearts (this is also in drama CD #3, so I'll comment about it there).

The CD itself has a very nice picture label with a montage of all the relevant girls to the story. The liner notes includes messages from the script writer for the two dramas, the composer of the BGMs, and from Minami Kuribayashi, the seiyuu for Haruka.
