6It's Music/MichiruYamane (and Vincent Diamante), so that's to be expected:
7----
8%%* Streets of New Meridian: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6THFGWLEn7w Moonlit Melee.]]
9* Anti-Skullgirls Labs: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3wDezr_Amc Paved With Good Intentions]], a dark, tense track that can make you feel like an EvilGenius.
10%%* Grand Cathedral: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jx6FK265_GA Dirge of the Divine Trinity.]]
11* Maplecrest: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVC-95fnVYs The Lives We Left Behind]]. Also used as Painwheel's {{leitmotif}}, so bonus points for SoundtrackDissonance. Gets a heartbreaking DarkReprise in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GpPwiFGuxw The Lives We Tried to Reclaim]].
12* Under the Bridge: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=454lU4zO0KY Unfinished Business.]] This theme usually gets flagged for having too much SAXUAL content!
13* NMO Arena: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_V28q4BBog The Crowd Goes Wild]]" will get you hyped for Wulfamania!
14* Bath of Tefnut: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBpwoZxlEyM An Oasis in Time]] is an elegant theme with a sense of antiquity. Its DarkReprise, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZanWKDUjMcs An Oasis of Blood]], is much more dramatic and menacing. It really helps to showcase Eliza's dual nature.
15* Boardwalk: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x62xAMSkXBc Ice Cream Headache]], a lively, bubbly tune fitting the boardwalk amusement park setting of Umbrella's stage. This track is also notable for being the first track not to be directly composed by any of the main composers, instead being composed by guest composer Raito of ''VideoGame/MeltyBlood'' and ''VideoGame/UnderNightInBirth'' fame.
16* New Meridian Rooftops: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewhmkXFaPQg Clear Breeze]], an upbeat-turned-dark theme with a motif from Moonlit Melee. And then when the night falls and things go to ruins, comes...
17* Rooftops Assault: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a39NOlM-xy4&t=15s Destiny in Her Hands]], with its [[OneWomanWail One-Man Wail]]. Shares a RecurringRiff with...
18* The final boss theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9HjQ8dQEVA Skull Heart Arrhythmia]] reprises the OneWomanWail from the opening song but makes it much more frantic and intense, fitting for the climactic encounter with the Skullgirl herself.
19* Hilgard Castle: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcklztbZGmc All That Remains]] samples ''the Skullgirls Theme itself(!)'' to make a epic piano piece for Marie's '''own''' leitmotif.
20%%* Some of the event music, such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbEdSwyc6GA Dire Machinations]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSyZIxyPiHY Daybreak]].
21* The ending credits theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QWbvfs4-7c In A Moment's Time]], with vocals by Geila Zilkha, is a terrific throwback to jazzy love songs... though astute listeners might notice the LyricalDissonance: the song is from the perspective of the Skull Heart itself!
