The Elfen Lied Original Soundtrack is a pivotal part of the emergence of the anime series as a cultural phenomenon. The extensive and well-chosen use of music, which blends into the raw, and often brutal scenes that mark off the anime as something unique and almost alive. Several tracks also reference Kamakura's significance as a Buddhist and Shinto religious center with titles and instruments relating to purgation/purification and reincarnation.

The soundtrack's composers are Konishi Kayo and Kondou Yukio.

Trivia[]

  • The track "Rasen" is often translated as "Neji" by fans due to the similarities of the words. However, the two only share one similar kanji character (Rasen is written as 螺旋 and Neji written as 螺子) which is the root of their respective words: "helix"/"spiral" and "screw."
