Something foul is in the air, and I wanted to capture it with something very simple and Japanese-sounding.

This is the more "complete" version of Kimyouna Yoru; the game version is shorter.

I'm leaving a review for this one, as it's my favorite out of the pieces from the game. Probably because I am biased, as I love that flute-ish instrument (I don't know exactly what it's called). As I mentioned earlier, I like the way you were inspired by the Ōkami soundtrack (I actually own a copy the OST). It really fits the game well, in my opinion. But even on their own, they are pretty cool tracks to listen to! Very atmospheric stuff, and I am a fan of this atmosphere :p

Either way... Please tell me what the intrument is, so I will know in the future, meep! :3

The instrument in question is a shakuhachi. Now there are a few kinds of shakuhachi samples -- the first is one without any slides, and the second... well, is the one with loads of slides. The shakuhachi I used here slides a lot, and I thought I'd put it to use somehow. ^_^
