Although I truly enjoy his arrangements, I find that Sato and Furukawa's arrangements are more entertaining. I mainly bought this album because Takayuki Aihara was featured as an arranger on it. The melody is probably the most addictive of all the arrangements and it also features a very pensive and melancholy sound. "Garnet" from The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is a beautiful piano and violin piece with some very nice orchestral backings. The drum pad is a bit cheesy and adds some pop flair, but I can forgive it. The combination of the piano and violin are the true starts of the show and the original sections with the original Canon in D used as accompaniment is a brilliant idea and are my favorite sections of the piece. An arrangement of an arrangement of "Canon in D," it manages to melt my heart. The first, "Love Is." from Toward the Terra is my favorite piece on the album. Both of his opt for the orchestral sound. Lastly, Norihiro Furukawa arranges two pieces on the album. The melody is really engaging and while the piece doesn't have as much subtle hues as "Shangri-La," it manages to engage a bit more due to its energetic nature.

The other, "Sorairo Days," is another fast paced piece that also blends together rock and violin.

It's a much faster paced piece than either of Aihara's and manages to throw in some jazzy elements as well through the piano. "Shangri-La" manages to tastefully blend some pop and rock elements quite nicely with the violin. Taihei Sato also arranges two pieces, "Shangri-La" from Fafner of the Aure and "Sorairo Days" from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. As before, the violin showcases the vocal melody quite nicely, and there seems to be a short solo in there. The other arrangement, "Uninstall," combines orchestral and pop elements to create another beautiful piece of music. While there might not be any fancy solos, I don't necessary think it needs it. As one might surmise, the violin beautifully plays the original vocal melody with wondrous results. His first arrangement, "Genesis of Aquarion," tastefully blends synth and pop elements with the violin. Takayuki Aihara arranges the opening theme from Genesis of Aquarion and "Uninstall" from Bokurano. His style, as depicted by the cover art, is to dress up in a Scream costume while playing a variety of VGM tunes, such as "Vampire Killer" from Castlevania. It features a violinist who goes by the moniker Scream no Hito, who was discovered on Youtube. This short album is an arrangement album of various anime themes by prominent game music artists, namely Taihei Sato, Takayuki Aihara, and Norihiro Furukawa.
