All composed by Koichi Sugiyama.

Track 01: Story

"Story" (Japanese: 旅ガラスは行く) plays during the title screen cutscene.

Composition: traditional Japanese instrumentation (presumably hyōshigi, koto, shakuhachi). It opens with a [koto] solo intro: a rising phrase within A minor pentatonic scale, then has a [hyōshigi] intermission and repeats slower. The following D minor main phrase played by the [shakuhachi]: D-F-E-A, with a supporting [second sakuhachi]. The main phrase plays in several variations, modulating and leading back to D minor's dominant. During the resolution, the music slows down. Doesn't loop.

This main phrase of theme appears throughout a majority of the soundtrack, thus serving as the game's main motif.

Track 06: Old Cedar Road

"Old Cedar Road" (Japanese: 杉並の旧街道) plays at floors 1-2 of Table Mountain, Old Cedar Road.

Composition: the track is centered around plagal harmonic progression in C minor, alternating with its subdominant, F Dorian mode. Its melody begins with a rising fourth, repition of the top note, and descending scale in groups of eighth notes and two sixteenth notes. In its second section, it modulates to C-sharp minor for its lyrical section: a quotation of the main motif from "Story". [INCOMPLETE]
