Sc. 1 Bellona youth montage
Hidden World - with Bagpipes (Satoru Kosaki, add. arr. Ferrous Patella)

Beastars - Classical - Extended (Satoru Kosaki, add. arr Ferrous Patella)
This string quartet arrangement of the Beastars theme got far too little screen time in the original anime in the series opener as Legoshi discovers the small rabbit inside himself.
