In this song you can truly feel Amaterasu's sorrow about the current state of the land

物悲しく暗いシーンのBGMなのに、癒されてくる不思議

Once I got out of kamiki village I thought everything was going to be all colorful and happy. But then I was smacked in the face with this music and the curse. I was so angry I wanted to end the grey and. Bring the color back

I played the flute for the past seven years and recently kind of stopped due to many things happening around me. THIS theme did strike right into my heart. I need to start playing again. This whole game is heaven for flute players or basically anyone who likes music.

To be honest, now that I'm replaying through the game and listening through the soundtrack, I'm realizing something. There's a lot of flute.

I think Okami deserved just as much if not more media attention as the Halo and CoD games.

I swear when I went out to shinshu fields I just put my wii mote down and just listened to the music for a good 10 min

This game was great at capturing the essence of japanese myth and history and the music was highly immersive each track fit the scene perfectly , I have no idea why this game is highly underrated I loved it has a teen. Remember when you beat the game and had access to the art book and the music tracks? (Sigh) memories

The beautiful, vibrant landscape of Nippon has been tainted by the curse of the dreaded Orochi. Evil now runs rampant, plunging the land and its inhabitants into chaos. The devastation is so great that you can hear its cries for mercy. It's heartbreaking.

I'm nearing the end of my first ever playthrough of this game. It truly is a life-changing experience that I will never forget.

This song, waka's theme, and the dragons palace, that is like sasa sanctuary but underwater are my favorites so far. This game is reaaaallly good!

Listening to this music again after not playing the game for so long (The disc unfortunately became too damaged and the game wouldn't respond after a while) really gives me a feeling of nostalgia. So many memories, happy and sad, all rushing back at once.

When I played the game for the first time, I was so excited to find out what happened next in the story that I never stopped and just listened... 💖

When i heard this song after i left kamiki village, i was like: do i have to restore this place to normal?

Okami is a masterpiece criminally underrated.

I played this song to my 3 week old brother and he falls asleep nearly every time <3

I LOVE THIS GAME!

Okami is truly the greatest game ever. It has an amazing and unique story, and amazing graphics. It's also truly inspiring. Okami inspired me to learn flute just to play its soundtracks. This is the song I'm learning now.

After a bit of reading comments and listening to the music again.

What I really enjoy in this ost is the way the flute and the oboe talk so much to each other and how in some parts of the piece they sound like they're fusing, becoming one... So mesmerizing...
