Character Image EPs
Just a mix of songs that I think

Strangely enough, none of these are hip hop.

Mugen 7 tracks + cover - 32.3 MB.zip Blazing red, chaos, fire, frenetic motion, anything-goes technique, and a little unexpected mellowness/depth. Right-click to download
Fuu 7 tracks + cover - 34.8 MB.zip Full of hope, wearing her heart on her sleeve. Soft pastel colours, blue skies, flowers, major chords, winds, strings, and piano. I guess the main themes here are "compassion" and "optimism." Right-click to download
Jin 7 tracks + cover - 39.1 MB.zip Dark blue tones, slow tempos, slightly weird time signatures, lots of minors / minor sevenths, some grit and noise. Right-click to download
