Favorite piece? Hard, but it's probably either "Lullaby of Spring" from CREID or "The Name of Our Hope" from kiRite. Not just my favorites from Mitsuda, but probably of all songs ever. Both are vocal pieces which turn some people off from the start, but for me both singers really make the songs shine. Of course, it's the combination of their voices and the music that produces the masterpiece of a result.
Other outstanding tracks:
Tsugunai - Early Afternoon in the Village - when the bagpipes come in, it's heavenly
kiRite - The Market in Volfinor - the beginning is wonderful and the ending is so uplifting and nostalgic at the same time
CREID album - pretty much anything, sheesh. Um, BALTO, DAJIL and CREID are all particularly spectacular
I couldn't get into Moonlit Shadow nor Hako no Niwa at all, unfortunately.
I recently found another Mitsuda song on iTunes US of all places, Ten Plants 2's "Silver Leica," which I understand to be a type of camera. Anyway, this is another song he collaborated with Noriko Mitose on. The album is children's songs, and it sounds like it could have come from Hako no Niwa with the sweet music and Mitose's childlike vocals.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
