Fan-made theme music inspired by my friend's debut graphic novel "Newsprints"


Written with an intent towards a younger audience, the story outlines the struggles and the importance of staying true to oneself despite all odds. The main character is a sprightly orphaned girl, whose disguised dream life as a newsboy is obviously conflicted by a society that doesn't view girls in such roles. Amidst a war that not many seem to fully understand, her journey is filled with characters who also don't quite seem as they appear, both good and perhaps bad.


Very beautifully illustrated and depicts its message with more realism than fairy tale swerves. There is also a sequel to this novel scheduled to be released sometime next year. But in the meantime...you should buy her book and at the least enjoy this fast-paced waltzing.

Sounds like visual novel material, or JRPG material (like the kind that would feature in Ni no Kuni or Ar tonelico or something). You know, the whimsical kind. And considering I've been bombarded with that stuff lately, I feel right at home.

I think the ambience is quite spot-on, and I'd imagine playing while lost in a town or something. But the whimsical feel of the piece is achieved by the melody and chords jumping here and there, which doesn't make it stick out as a piece I would sing in my head after I've played it.

I have no complaints with regards to production / mixing.

sounds like something you would put in the background of an rpg game. interesting. very good use of instruments. not 5 stars because nothing really stood out to me though. but it gives me so many ideas.
