Title: 夏色の砂時計　ビジュアルサウンドファンブック (Hourglass of Summer Colors Visual Sound Fan Book)
Original Creator: Princess Soft
Release Date: 4/7/03
Rating: 2/4

There's no cover to this CD as it's bundled together as an artbook, so the scan is of that book. Since the CD is part of the book name and not just a bonus item, I might as well review it as such.

The artbook itself is superb, as are all fan books, game, manga, or anime. It's loaded with tons of pictures from the games, as well as pictures from the PC version of the game. In addition to interviews and such, it has a complete walkthrough of the game for each ending. So as a book, it's great.

The music is lacking though. The CD is titled "Remix Soundtrack" and comprises of 8 BGM remixes and a remix of the ending song. The ending song doesn't get better and while I like the acoustic feel of the BGM remixes (they're all either guitar or piano solos), for a game like this, synthesizers sound a lot better. For my favorite BGM, Ai's theme, I can barely recognize it in the guitar remix.
