when i was a kid, i loved playing video games with fantastic stories and places and people to meet, and i'd often spend my days crafting my own stories. there was this one story i really wanted to make more than any other, though, a tale about a group of animal friends meeting and banding together to sail off into the sunset and dive into the ocean depths, defeating a leviathan and saving Cherry Blossom Island.

i never got to make the game itself, sadly, but over the past four months, i've been constantly working on making the next best thing: its soundtrack. this is the longest and hardest i've ever worked on a cohesive musical project, and i've never been prouder of a final product. i present to you, 'opus 2'. thank you for listening.
