Still waiting for the OST it’s getting frustrating. I want to listen to Eye of the Storm, happily ever after, and other such songs. Still, I’m pretty glad Gainax are keeping us happy with this character CD. Not to mention the cover art, I mean Yoko? With GLASSES? Completely drool worthy. 

 It’s got 6 tracks, each different versions of 2 songs, BREAK THROUGH THE DREAM and Trust. Both songs are charcater specific songs and (as far as I can tell haven’t actually been heard in the series so far). You get 3 versions of each song, the original, the karaoke version, and the remixed version. 

 Trust is Yoko’s character song, and honestly, I can’t say it’s brilliant. It’s decent but just doesn’t have the flair that songs like Sorairo Days and Minna No Peace has. Still it’s decent, and pretty good once in a while. Of course it’s completely eclipsed by the embodiment of pure awesomeness that is BREAK THROUGH THE DREAM.

 BREAK THROUGH THE DREAM is Simon and Kamina’s character song. It’s a duet done by the VAs (I believe) and is absolutely amazing, one of the best anime related songs I’ve ever heard, if not the best. The best part is the sound clip in the song where you can hear Kamina and Simon shotuing to each other, ending with what I believe is “Who do you – All of you – THINK WE ARE!?”. Seriously, it’s truly epic stuff.
