Merciful Red

Chapter 32: Merciful Red the Soundtrack

Summary:

Thank you, readers, for 10,000 hits. Decided to share something a little special for anyone who rereads the story. Down below is the soundtrack I created for myself to inspire me as I wrote the story.

Please enjoy the list and the commentary.

Chapter Text

Merciful Red – Soundtrack


Hello, World – BUMP OF CHICKEN – Got to have the OP

Theme of Blood Blockade Battlefront – Taisei Iwasaki – More like Klaus’ theme

Sugar Song and Bitter Step – Unison Square Garden – I imagined Leona and Klaus dancing in place of Femt and Aguila. In the final verses, Klaus and Leona bust out some flashy moves!

When I was Done Dying – Dan Deacon – Leona’s first feeding, first prey. Leona mentioned that she posed as a prostitute. The first time it was raining, and the “John” was a married man she discovered when his wife texted him on family game night. Heard this song from a weird foreign sci-fi TV show and there was this creepy scene as the song played. Leona made her decision that night, that she was done “dying” and decided to move forward as a Blood Breed.

Your Affection – Atlus – Leona trying to live a normal life in the city.

Meeting – Atlus Sound Team – Meeting Klaus in the Rain. Didn’t happen in the story… but… that scene in Persona 5 when the Protag meets Ann! Maybe a short insert of this could have been played after Klaus saved her and she “zinged”.

Bud Like You – AJR – Leona and Sonic’s buddy theme, after the gate incident. Picture Leona and Sonic skipping through the debris and rubble overjoyed to be back together again.

Suspicious Minds – Elvis (Viva Elvis) - … In my headcanon, Steven is an Elvis fan! Anyway, this song plays as Klaus contemplated why Leona is afraid of him, before he found out she’s a Blood Breed.

Catch Me If You Can – Taisei Iwasaki – This song and others, have to have good BG music from the show itself.

Not Tonight – Elle Varner – Leona daydreaming of Klaus. She hears this song and sings aloud on her bed.

Love Like You (End Credits) – Rebecca Sugar – A ED song, perfect if you listen to the words carefully. I’ll leave it up to you between Leona and Klaus in singing which lyrics back and forth to one another.

Rainy Devil – Bakemonogatari – Sonic in Beast Mode.

Toy Blues – Tasei Iwasaki

You feat. Kazami – Tsutchie – Another fitting love song.

On My Own – Taisei Iwasaki – This song, the lyrics… perfect for Klaus and Leona, who used to be alone, but find that they can’t live without each other. I imagine them on a lake at the park with Klaus rowing!

World Goes Round (Reprise) – Taisei Iwasaki

Cheek to Cheek – Fred Astaire – Their song.

Have a Nice Day – WORLD ORDER – A fun song that I can see Libra going through the day fighting against Femt’s experiments. In the first chorus, imagine Femt yelling “You will have a nice day!” and explosions!

ETERNALISM – Taisei Iwasaki

Step Up Love – DAOKO & Yasuyuki Okamura

Keep On the Sunny – Taisei Iwasaki

White Gloves – Taisei Iwasaki

Oblivion – Taisei Iwasaki

That’s What I like – Bruno Mars - …. It’s fitting and it’s fun!

There Will Be a Day – Taisei Iwasaki

A QUEEN OF THE NIGHT – Taisei Iwasaki

La vie d’une femme (feat. Pauline)

White Gloves (Reprise) – Taisei Iwasaki

Weak – AJR – Klaus is weak for Leona! Not in the story, but, while watering his plants, he and Leona are alone… in the office… he drops his watering can, grabs Leona, and they make out on the couch. NO, they kept their promise to Steven and didn’t do anything! Almost…

Perfect – Ed Sheeran – The final slow dance for Klaus and Leona at the end of Merciful Red.


THANK YOU FOR 10,000 HITS! OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOODNESS.
