See You Tomorrow – OMORI

About game/music

This is “See You Tomorrow” from RPG “OMORI”, which is about overcoming trauma, created by OMOCAT.
This is composed by Pedro Silva.
The soundtrack is here.

OMOCAT, the creator of the game, cites “Earthbound” as an influence on this game, but also says that it is influenced by other famous games in Japan, like “Pokemon”, “Legend of Zelda”, etc.
(Interview Note:Japanese only)

This song is played in the evening, after the main character wakes up from a dream and walks around the town with his friend.
It feels like a small break between stories.

Analyzing

bar 5~8

  • line cliché (other TABs include this)
    • The chord is fixed and only a single voice part moves (basically).
    • The smoothness of the movement by semitone and the richness of emotion created by the notes that are not in the main key.
    • It’s typical to start with I or vi in a major key, or i in a minor key.
    • It seems the chord isn’t same all the way through, but a inverted form of some other chord.
      • my Interpretation (example):
        • I-iii/5th-I7/7th-IV/3rd or I-iii/5th-I7/7th-VI or I-V/3rd-v/3rd(iiiø/5th)-VI etc.
        • i-V+/3rd-bIII/5th-IV/3rd
        • I-III+/5th-vi/3rd-I7
    • other examples are the following songs.
      • The Amazon – DuckTales
        • contains both patterns descending from I and from vi
      • Paths That Will Never Cross (Rain) – Fire Emblem : Three Houses
      • Nalao LakeFreedom Planet 2
      • La Follia d’amore – Kirby Star Allies
      • From a Place of LoveLibrary Of Ruina
      • The Reverberation EnsembleLibrary of Ruina
      • Pass OnLimbus Company
      • MELTY BLOODMELTY BLOOD
      • See You TomorrowOMORI
        • It seems to be I-iii/5th-bVII-vi, so only the first half is a typical pattern.

    I love your website. It is well made and pleasing to the eyes. Your analysis of the progressions shows how amazing you are. Thanks a lot for the tabs. These songs feel nostalgic to me. I also want to introduce you to Jubing Kristianto. He is a fellow classical guitarist and he composed/plays nostalgic songs like this Omori song and more. I hope you keep on sharing your talent. I’m a fan of your works

        Oh, my bad. I forgot to include some of his compositions/arrangements that I love. “Song for Renny” – a song he made for his wife Renny. This song feels like a kind, contented love. “Amelia” – feels like different shades of sadness in one song. I love these ones too: “Once upon a rainy day”, “Lullaby”, “Ambilikan Bulan” & “Moonrise”. I hope you enjoy them too like I do. I am not knowledgeable with music theory so I can’t recommend complex or technical songs. You, on the other hand, are more of an expert with music theory. keep it bro! 🙂
