This is a very good OST. It does not contain all the songs from The Twelve Kingdoms, but it does contain a lot of the background songs. The song that really stuck out at me from the anime is Fuushun (the song that plays when Taiki is grabbed back to Koukai).

I definitely suggest this for anyone who has seen The Twelve Kingdoms, and wants to have the background music.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent cd, July 29, 2011

Once in a while you stumble across a series which music astounds and magically capture you.
The Twelve kingdoms did that to me, its soundtrack captivated me and made me rewatch the series several time before i got myself to buy the 1st cd (saving up for the 2nd!).

The music sounds like traditional asian music, with a fantasy twist. Not that im a expert. (rather im the opposite hehe).
It features light instruments like violins, guitars and fluits to bring a light and positive feeling while utilizing bass, cello and drums for the negative/sinister feeling.

Either way, for those that love traditional type of music flavoured with fantasy setting this is a must buy, The track 8 (i cant read japanese sadly) on the cd aswell as the series main theme: Getu Mei Huu Ei remains 2 of my all time favourites.
