The
following is a list of all of the tracks
contained on the BR OST. I have listed all of the
23 tracks giving the running time of each and
where abouts in the movie the piece of music can
be found....
Track
1:
"Requiem" (Verdi)/ Prologue
- A fantastic start to the album that accounts
for the whole opening of the movie, from the Toei
logo all the way up to Nanahara getting knocked
out on the bus. The track starts with "Requiem"
by Verdi and is cut off by a piece that has
characteristics that will emerge throughout the
next 72 mins. Follows into more mellow music (Nanahara's
fathers suicide) and takes off again with Kitanos
stabbing.
Track Time: 06:38
Track 2:
Millennium Education Reform Act (BR Act)
- The introduction of Kitano. This is the music
that plays when Kitanos helicopter is landing
outside the school. The track leads all the way
up to the point at which the corpse of Mr.
Hayashida is exposed. Another track with
militaristic tones, again with fast tapping
marches.
Track Time: 03:01
Track 3:
Teacher
- A fantastic track that can be summed up in one
word: chaos. This is the piece that plays just as
Kitano knifes Fujiyoushi. Theres actually two
pieces of music in this one track. The second
starts from when Oneesan explains about the
neckcollars. Also, includes the ticking clock
piece of music for when Nobu is about to die.
Another amazing piece of music...
Track Time: 03:28
Track 4:
The Game Begins
- This is the piece of music that plays as the
class are being called and given their weapons.
This track leads all the way up to Nanahara and
Noriko going to the cave. Nicely leading to the
next track...
Track Time: 04:27
Track 5:
Memory
- One of recurring themes throughout the movie.
This is the piece that plays as Nanahara
remembers Nobu. A beautiful piece of music, that
starts with piano and slowly fades to a complete
orchestral theme. Can't you just see the tears
well up in my eyes?
Track Time: 02:45
Track 6:
Slaughter House
- This plays during the scene where Kiriyama
kills all of Numais gang. Its the introduction of
Kiriyamas theme as well. The track also includes
the music that plays in the Mitsuko/ Megumi
showdown.
Track Time:03:32
Track 7:
Radetsky March (Strauss)
- Kitanos Pep Music! Its a shortened version of
the complete piece of music...
Track Time: 01:40
Track 8:
- The track begins with Okii jumping from the
bushes. Another chaotic and pounding piece thats
full of life. The track continues all the way up
to Yukiko and Kusakas deaths (complete with a
variation on Kiriyamas Theme).
Track Time: 04:37
Track 9:
Blue Danube Waltz (Strauss)
- Kitanos Pep Music: Volume 2. Like the Radetsky
March, this is a shortened version of the whole.
Track Time: 01:21
Track 10:

- Chigusas flashback and death music
Track Time: 02:36
Track 13:

that plays during Kawads flashback to Keiko...
The tears are welling up again...
Track Time: 02:18

way up to Nanahara and Hiroki diving into the

about his uncle

everything from Nanahara awakening to Yukos
thoughts of Oki
Track Time: 05:29
Track 17
The War Of Girls, Without Faith Nor Law

from Satomis paranoia to Nanahara atop the

all the way from the onscreen quote up until
