[Chua-young's Music Box] The Aesthetics of Repetition and Variation in 'Asako' and the OST 'netemo sametemo'

I am captivated by the music in films. Music conveys the intimate emotions of characters that cannot always be expressed through visible images and audible dialogues. It can also serve as a window into the hidden intentions of the creator. For me, understanding film music was a way to connect with the film. 'Chua-young's Music Box' listens to the voice of the film more closely through music. (P.S. I hope you read this while listening to the music.)
Boys gather in groups and light firecrackers. The firecrackers soar into the sky with a bang, startling Asako , who ducks for cover. At this moment, music begins to play, blending with the montage of the city, infusing the film with vitality.
