This CD has music inspired by the comic, performed by the Kuricorder Pops Orchestra. The music is composed to tell a day in life of Yotsuba and friends. For obvious reasons, the music reminds me a lot of Azumanga Daioh because of the instruments used. True to the name of the performing group, they use the recorder a lot through the entire album. They also use some unique sounds in their composition like the typing of a computer keyboard. While I like the music as it gives off a light and cheery mood, I have to say that this is more of a soundtrack without an anime rather than an musical story. I can't really find a theme in the music that would represent the characters. Regardless, it's something I can keep playing in the background while reading.

First edition comes with a postcard with Yotsuba playing the recorder in a photograph of the recording studio.
