Music
Memories Off 5 has two main theme songs, the opening theme, "Orange" and the ending theme, "Romancing Story" (ロマンシングストーリー, Romanshingu Sutōrii?). Both of the theme songs were sung by Ayane and written by Chiyomaru Shikura. The soundtrack for Memories Off 5 was released on November 10, 2005. Neal Chandran of RPGFan noted that while " nothing revolutionary for Takeshi Abo...", " is definitely Takeshi Abo's strongest Memories Off soundtrack ".
The opening theme for Memories Off 5: Encore, "Kimi ga Ita Shōko" (キミが居た証拠に?), like "Orange" from Memories Off 5, is performed by Ayane and written by Shikura. "Kimi ga Ita Shōko" was arranged by Toshimichi Isoe. The soundtrack for Encore was released on July 12, 2007 as a bonus item with the limited edition of the game. From the soundtrack, Patrick Gann of RPGFan felt the opening theme to be the weakest song in the collection.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“The music of an unhappy people, of the children of disappointment; they tell of death and suffering and unvoiced longing toward a truer world, of misty wanderings and hidden ways.”
—W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
“If this be love, to clothe me with dark thoughts,
Haunting untrodden paths to wail apart;
My pleasures horror, music tragic notes,
Tears in mine eyes and sorrow at my heart.
If this be love, to live a living death,
Then do I love and draw this weary breath.”
—Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
“I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
