** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfyyQThuCZM&t=12s Act 1 song "The Gates Shall Open to Those Who Believe"]][[note]]originally titled "Shinjiru Mono ni Mon wa Hirakareru"[[/note]] has a more eccentric feel to it, with a whimsical violin line and often changing tempo.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ehqGNKRy00 Act 2 song "Life Persists"]][[note]]originally titled "Inochi Tsukite mo Tsuki Hatezu"[[/note]] starts with a dramatic chorus before transitioning into some equally dramatic, fast-paced strings. It's a thrill to listen to and captures the intensity the characters in this revue act with.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1j-Fek79o7s Act 3 song "If There is No Sin, That is a Sin"]][[note]]originally titled "Tsumi ga Nai no Naraba Sore ga Tsumi da"[[/note]] has its verses build up anticipation before a dramatic chorus, mirroring the suspense of a courtroom before the verdict is decided.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0-8Iv2IdsM Act 4 song "What Shines the Darkness"]][[note]]originally titled "Yami o Terasu Mono"[[/note]] is a slower, more somber song, which makes it a departure from Frontier's usual cheery stuff. It's incredibly haunting and really captures the feeling of sorrow.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkXT0wmM_M0 Act 5 song "Eternity Is Dying and Living"]][[note]]originally titled "Eien wa Shishite Ikiru"[[/note]] is a dramatic piece featured during one of the most intense chapters of Arcana Arcadia as the featured girls are faced by their past or future challenge on stage with their compatriots.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2afOcUUSSJ8 Act 6 song "Star Girl, Girl On Moon"]][[note]]originally titled "Hoshi no Shōjo, Tsuki ni Shōjo"[[/note]], the conclusion song to the whole of Arcana Arcadia act, is a triumphant song that is a perfect ending to the whole arc as a whole. It's cheerful and upbeat melody with a triumphant orchestra arrangement captures the arc's resolution to most plotlines in a positive way.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkXT0wmM_M0 Act 5 song "Eternity Is Dying and Living"]][[note]]originally titled "Eien wa Shishite Ikiru"[[/note]] is a dramatic and intense music piece featured during one of the most intense chapters of Arcana Arcadia as the featured girls are faced by their past or future challenge on stage with their compatriots, and thus equally epic, dramatic and intense.

It's incredibly haunting and really captures the feeling of sorrow.

* "Pen: Power: Sword"[[note]]originally titled "Pen:Chikara:Katana"[[/note]], the backing song for the Revue of Hunting, has quite a lot to say about its Arabian/orchestral instrumentation, but regardless, if you followed Junna and Nana's storyline in the anime, [[https://youtu.be/wXz51nX7dLQ then watching this particular revue makes the bright side get darker.]]
** Credit should go to Junna and Nana's voice actresses, Hinata Satō and Moeka Koizumi, for their performance in this song. It's not everyday you'll hear them hit some pretty high notes, but boy do they do it well.

* "Superstar Spectacle", the backing song for the climactic Revue of Reproduction[[note]]although named as "The Final Line" in the movie itself, its unofficial title is this, [[https://twitter.com/MMMbluefilm/status/1436136903217057792 according to screenwriter Tatsuto Higuchi.]][[/note]], is a symphonic-rock piece with ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' influences. Karen and Hikari's storyline in the anime was something else, and the lyrics of this song are a thrilling representation of the two's final confrontation with each another, which feels more like the beginning to a new story and not so much of a grand finale. [[https://youtu.be/iPXPPpBE2gE The revue itself will cause emotions like one has never felt before, so get the tissues ready.]]
** Momoyo Koyama and Suzuko Mimori (Karen and Hikari's voice actresses) had a tough act to follow with this particular song and revue after the Revue of Astral Sins in the anime, but there is absolutely no denying their work is second to none, especially here.

* "wi(l)d-screen baroque", the backing song for the Revue of Annihilation, is a fast-paced string-led rock song with Arabian influences. It's made even more terrifying by its lyrics and a nearly-five-minute-long sequence where Nana gives the rest of the class (except Karen) a run for their money by [[spoiler: almost ''killing'' them. ''All while on top of a train.'']]
** Further taken UpToEleven when [[https://youtu.be/D41MWxltAWQ Nana's voice actress, Moeka Koizumi, performed the song with an orchestra.]]

* "MEDAL SUZDAL PANIC◎○●" provides that of a fitting accompaniment to the Olympics-themed Revue of Competition between Hikari and Mahiru. Beginning with a military drum beat that transitions into a brassy fanfare as Mahiru lights a flame, the song quickly turns into a fast-paced, jive-like melody while Hikari and Mahiru fight each other, as well as when [[spoiler: the normally sweet-hearted Mahiru transforms into a full-on yandere as she chases Hikari all the way through the backstage area a few minutes later. The end of the revue is bittersweet, however, and is accompanied by beautiful orchestral music which reprises the melody of a signature song from the main series.]]

* "Selfish Highway"[[note]]originally titled "Wagamama Highway"[[/note]], the backing song for Futaba and Kaoruko's Revue of Malice, is a very sexy bar-like jazz piece that, [[https://youtu.be/iUuU1rsg7QA once you've watched the revue it goes with,]] is sure to leave you thinking: "Divorce has never sounded so good."
