History AwesomeMusic / Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PQ2-NiMSXA The game's opening theme]] is a remix of the first game's one, and sounds even more awesome.
* Usami's theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emEg0zGS7KY Miss Monomi's Practice Lesson]]", manages to beat "Mr. Monokuma's Lesson" (Monokuma's theme) in terms of awesomeness!
* The new investigation music, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCfpmW6s37U Ikoroshia]]"[[note]]Homicide[[/note]]. As well as its "grand finale" version, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjbgj2V6-o0 Ekoroshia]][[note]]Kill Command[[/note]].
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xm1A-5AI3E Ikoroshia]]" gets an 8-bit remix for the final chapter, and it manages to retain all the tension of the original version despite the limited instrumentation.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hltx4jQ4444 Discussion -HEAT UP-]]" also gets an awesome 8-bit remix. Too bad it only plays in a single Nonstop Debate...
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mESVTvnIVnw Beautiful Days [Piano Arrangement]]]", an even more upbeat remix of Beautiful Days that plays during Free Times.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNYydvw13LM Beautiful Ruin]]" and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-fMDaPFXME its variation]] instantly create a peaceful, tropical mood.
* The mysterious, atmospheric "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtsSngpkwKc Third Island Theme]]".
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mymjF4AZJrg Rebuttal -CROSS SWORD-]]", the music for the Rebuttal Showdowns.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F26Vt1Q2-E Class Trial Future Edition]]" plays when you make a breakthrough during the trial.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyFrgi3emaM HYPER ULTRA P.T.A.]]", the music during the fastest tempo of Panic Talk Action.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kak8Hy-ydgo Welcome to Dangan Island!]]" just creates a mood that tells you that something big and heroic is about to go down. Its usage is cut at one point, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71WyaQlKkIA where it IS used]], in Junko Enoshima's AI defeat by Usami, is the best part...

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaVHaRV449c DIVE DRIVE]]" just fits so well in its mini-game, Logic Dive, that it has to be mentioned.
* Liked "Discussion -HOPE VS DESPAIR-" from the first game? It got a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Stmp2gAk6s remix]] for this game.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jU4hSFA-dTM Class Trial Strange Edition]]" is an absolutely incredible song for whenever something shocking or serious comes up in debates. Notably, it plays right after a character directly objects against you (special cut-in portrait included) for an intense one-on-one Rebuttal Showdown.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUWJ-AHBaX0 Discussion -B side-]]" is a calmer remix of past Discussion themes.
* Nagito's [[ImageSong character song]] "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rITt4yTz-zo poison -gekiyaku-]]" ("poison -deadly drug-"). Although released on a CD for [[VideoGame/DanganronpaAnotherEpisodeUltraDespairGirls another game]], it clearly delves into his thoughts during [=SDR2=] and references his own death by poison in Chapter 5. It is also quite pretty.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W7dLmEt3m4 Master Monokuma's Special Class]]", a relaxing, Asian-influenced track that plays during Monokuma Tai Chi.

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxaPd27Kwe4 Punishment feat. Hell-icopter]]" plays during Teruteru's execution. It's amazing how adding a vocal sample makes the execution that much more intense.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHTyPzvC77w Punishment feat. Puppet Girl]]" throws in some Asian influences, fitting for the shinai-wielding Ultimate Swordswoman, Peko.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icO0W0SnXCU Punishment feat. Rocket Pants]]" plays during Mikan's execution.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DF78sHLxUU Punishment feat. the Last High King]]" adds some mournful vocal samples and Wild West-influenced guitar licks for Gundham's execution by stampede.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0M_wihJZF0 Punishment feat. the Arcade Rabbit]]" mixes in 8-bit bleeps and bloops to make the Ultimate Gamer's execution that much harder to watch. The break starting at 0:32 is wonderfully creepy, too.
** Finally, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A65mN9Wxoi0 Punishment feat. Dangan Island]]" is a triumphant reprise of Welcome to Dangan Island that sets the mood as Usami finishes off Junko once and for all.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxJew6ucYEs Ho]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BP5qI3orq8 pe's Brea]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW75_Qp6x1M kin]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTtItytskU0 g]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0YK0ntGmD0 Noi]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG64J10DK_A se]]", a reprise of the previous music for the discovery of a corpse.

* "[[http://youtu.be/uoh-Z_TS_xE Trapped by the Ocean Scent]]" sets a sinking feeling of despair and discomfort with a tropical flavor and punctuated by a wicked drumline. It's also associated with danger on the island, and essentially becomes Nagito's themesong after Chapter 1.

** Finally, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A65mN9Wxoi0 Punishment feat. Dangan Island]]" is a trumphant reprise of Welcome to Dangan Island that sets the mood as Usami finishes off Junko once and for all.
