Huh.
Well, it didn't take long for you to casually say something about Kiva that completely blew my mind. I've honestly never stopped to connect those dots before, and this is kinda putting a lot of the show in a new light for me.
Anyway, this definitely seems like an appropriate place to share this track, simply titled
Otoya
. You'll be hearing bits of this one a lot!

It also didn't take long for us to disagree on something! I mean, just because I suggested Kiva is More About Music doesn't mean that Hibiki wasn't About Music. It's merely a difference in how they apply that thematically. Hibiki is about
rhythm
, while Kiva is about
melody
.
With Hibiki, it's that whole idea of Hitting Your Beat, right? This idea of everyone having their own drum to march to; a life they feel confident in living. Finding a groove that fits and sticking with it. The emphasis on things like the rigorous
routine
of training the Oni do, or the focus on the beauty of nature, all that – it all feeds into back into that one concept in a way I could probably describe better if I was more passionate about Hibiki. It's like, order, or something. I guess it's less a show about music, and more one about
sound
.
With Kiva, it is admittedly much more specifically about music. The idea of all these individual notes in their unique places coming together to form a greater tapestry, made all the more beautiful through that connection. You're only two episodes in, but I probably don't need to explain how things like the dual timeline shtick fit that concept – it all feeds back into that one concept in a way I could probably describe better if I was more passionate about Kiva. It's like, harmony, and stuff. I guess... I guess it's definitely a show that's more About Music than Hibiki, huh?
Still though, the point I was trying to make here is that I disagree hard that you blew the lyrics gimmick on Hibiki. I think it fit the offbeat nature of that show in particular very well. I mean, Kiva is mostly about wordless classical pieces, whereas the title character in Hibiki had a habit of singing that one little tune with lyrics tailored to his current situation. Tell me which one of those honestly sounds like a better time to bust out that trick.

I'm definitely not the first person to make this joke, am I?
