Good review, but I have to say that I completely with koreye below.
The music was definitely one of the strong points of the series: The music takes you on an absorbing journey throughout, the oriental instrumentals adding to the charm – another success story by Toshio Masuda. Every single track is soulful, absorbing and soothing. Every episode has a different ED. And each of them is done well. The OP is an English song called “The Sore Feet Song” and is a charming piece, with a breezy acoustic guitar strumming in the background to the pleasant vocals of Ally Kerr. The background score does a wonderful job in setting the mood.
nice review on Mushishi. However I find your lack of appreciation for Toshio Masudas work on the soundtrack to be a bit disturbing. I disagree with your view about the sameness of the pieces. Obviously, they all follow the theme of the show but, just like the 'sameness' of the characters and the landscape, there is enough variety in the soundtrack itself, but not enough to break the cohesive structure of the show and its theme
