Each work has its own musical concept
When Abao recalled the original music, he likened each track of "My Merry May" to a color; "My Merry Maybe" prioritized the script, organizing the soundtrack according to each scene.
The specific way to write the original score for 'My Merry Maybe.'
In the 2003 original track-by-track commentary, Abao Gang said that "Spring colors" retained the theme of the previous work but recreated all parts according to the sequel's age groups; Bass coordinates with the head beat, electric piano, and organ. SEITEN Junior High School uses AM modulation and fine-tunes the timing of notes.
"The past and now -LEASE-" involves composing while jotting chords on the chart, with the rhythm shifting into shuffle before returning. "Dear wind -REU part II-" is based on the previous work School Mix, using sounds that were self-edited after sampling from KORG synthesizers.
"YUMA" begins with the melody; Abao compares the prominent melody to Youzhen's proactive and forward-moving personality. The electric piano part of "HONOKA" is taken from a set of guitar chords casually played by the younger brother. "KYOUHEI" combines chords and bass, then adds a melody.
"Into Void" revises the enka-like style, with the latter half using extended chorus melodies to express emotion. The slow 68 time "Farewell -Piano-" is performed step by step in measure; The full version also features cello, violin, and steel guitar sounds.
"I'll bet" mainly uses REASON, and sound programming is the most time-consuming and can still be completed within hours. "Psychological impatience" uses rising chords to create unease, and also employs early KORG 01/W tones; "Awakening" adds storytelling to key scenes, with the latter half based on Spring colors - living mix.
