The OPs of Crimson Empire and Crimson Royale are basically my otome game life OPs.
The female vocal version is literally the entire life story of the heroine, Shera!
With the CG and in-game text blending perfectly with the music,
every time I play this OPs, memories just hit me—so many intense moments, all the feels.
This is hands down my favorite otome game,
and the one I've seen that gives the most space to really flesh out the heroine.
The OPs for the Hana Awase Mizuchi and Himeutsugi arcs are rare gems—purely musical OPs,
which you don't see much in otome games.
(I'm talking about the original PC version here.)
The Mizuchi arc's OP, with its mysterious vibe and haunting throat sounds,
creates a truly unique atmosphere.
The Himeutsugi arc's OP nails that fragile, uneasy, almost peeling-apart feeling,
yet there's this elegance and splendor underneath—so perfectly in tune with the whole himeutsugi experience.
(I don't know why the PC version OP for the Himeutsugi arc isn't on YT anymore… only the PV is left.)
( My native language isn't English, so I used a translation tool to help with grammar and wording.
Please forgive me if there are still any mistakes. )
