OST CD clean.png

Here is a track list of Oni's promotional soundtrack CD. Each track's section also links to the in-game music data when available.

Oni Anime

This is the soundtrack of the intro anime sequence.

Trailer

Main track plays in:

  • CHAPTER 14 . DAWN OF THE CHRYSALIS on SP4 (boss fight)
  • Outro sequence (during credits)
  • Main menu and splashscreens (short samples)

Intro plays in:

  • CHAPTER 13 . PHOENIX RISING on SP5 (boss fight)

This track was used for Oni's first trailer in 1998 (hence the name). The 1999 trailer's music is Konoko Chase. This music was also released as an MP3 track titled "Dark Future" to promote the game (see Pursuit, AKA "Uncertain Past", and No One Left To Trust to complete the triad of the game's tagline).

East Wind

Plays in:

  • CHAPTER 04 . TIGER BY THE TAIL (intro and SP1)
  • CHAPTER 05 . HOT PURSUIT
  • CHAPTER 06 . COUNTERATTACK (SP1)

Resembles Prodigy's Mindfields a little bit.

Searching

Plays in:

  • CHAPTER 01 . TRIAL RUN
  • CHAPTER 02 . ENGINES OF EVIL (intro)
  • ...

Pursuit

Plays in:

  • CHAPTER 06 . COUNTERATTACK
  • ...

This music was released as an MP3 track titled "Uncertain Past" to promote the game (see Trailer, AKA "Dark Future", and No One Left To Trust to complete the triad of the game's tagline).

Loss

There are three pieces, played at random when you die or fail a mission (.MISSION:FAILED screens)

Hurry

Plays in:

  • CHAPTER 12 . SINS OF THE FATHER (last savepoint)

Fan remix:

Fight

Plays in:

  • CHAPTER 10 . CAT AND MOUSE (boss fight)
  • ...

Ambient Suite

A medley of ambient themes used (or not) in Oni's levels. List of in-game ambients here.

Internal Space

Plays in:

  • CHAPTER 12 . SINS OF THE FATHER (first savepoint)
  • ...

Farewell

The sad theme for Oni. Plays in:

  • CHAPTER 08 . AN INNOCENT LIFE (first savepoint)
  • CHAPTER 11 . DREAM DIVER (intro sequence)
  • final anime sequence and end credits

Konoko Chase

Plays in:

  • CHAPTER 03 . PUZZLE PIECES
  • ...

This track was used for Oni's official trailer in 1999. Has been remixed as well as re-released in different forms by its creator (see the Konoko Chase article for all versions).

Oni Fever

Plays in:

  • CHAPTER 01 . TRIAL RUN (last savepoint)
  • ...

AKA "Strikers!". Has been remixed.

The Hunt

The beat from this track is played during the intro of CHAPTER 13 . PHOENIX RISING. Somewhat similar to Searching, but slower.

The full version of this track never played in vanilla Oni, but it was supposed to be played after you first meet Kerr in CHAPTER 12 . SINS OF THE FATHER (you can go right to this point by loading SP3). Turns out that the music was placed in the next level file by mistake, so instead you hear... nothing. The link to the sound data was accidentally restored by the AE's "globalization", which made all music available from all levels, so you will hear it when playing AE Oni.

Whirled Piece

Plays in:

  • CHAPTER 08 . AN INNOCENT LIFE
  • ...

End Titles

This is the complete audio heard behind the outro. First, 36 seconds of Farewell provide the backdrop for the anime sequence with Konoko's voiceover, then there's a 1:30 cut of Trailer that morphs (via the first seconds of Ambient Suite) into a short (1:10) version of Farewell (the drawn-out C is replaced by a choir at the start, and there's an extra ambient drone). Then there's a 2:00 bonus track: a montage of character quotes (some absent from the game) over top of "X-Groove". X-Groove has been recreated by two different fans and can be heard on the Fanmade page.
