Letter In My Pocket (from Pokémon the Movie XY&Z: Volcanion and the Exquisite Magearna OST – 2016)

Of course GFriend recorded a Pokémon OST! I mean, who better to do that? Better yet, it was released during their stellar 2016 run, drawing upon the energy and sounds of killer tracks like Navillera. Letter In My Pocket is far more reserved than that song but it has the sonic touchstones of a great adventure anime. There’s a sense of wonder laced within this midtempo arrangement. The melodies could be stronger, but I still enjoy them quite a bit. The bridge is also very pretty, leading into a great electric guitar solo. Bring back electric guitar solos, K-pop!
