@kaarme I’m not a music aficionado by any means, but I agree with purplelibraryguy that hearing the music IRL can be a disappointing when they build it up so much. Its not that I actually hear the music as I’m reading, but everyone in the manga is seeing galaxies, crying, watching rain from a clear sky, etc as they play, and it’s just normal music to me. Although I enjoy the KOT CD, I did have that “this is it?” feeling when I first listened. The author has done such a great job painting the koto alive that I had unrealistic expectations of how it would sound. It’s reality colliding with imagination ? I have the same initial reaction when eating something I read about in a food-centric manga, and when live actions are made from anime. You settle down quickly and accept it, but there is a small disconnect. It’s like how interesting shogi looks in a manga, but is (IMO) completely boring to watch IRL. With music-centric anime you can’t really gloss over that.
That being said, I’m so excited to watch the anime! I love every bit of this manga and want to see it come to life.

I'm not willing to accept the anime will fail months before the first episode has aired. I'm no anime hating ANN regular, after all. The music will be a combination of all that's going on together with it, not just a loose piece, just like in the manga, apart from being actually able to hear it. I have heard enough music, also in grand concert halls, in my life to know what to expect and what not to. If the anime is directed well, the music will sound good because it's the characters you care about playing it. The manga just had no choice but the use the visual gimmicks, being a mute media.

@tenshineko It's unavoidable, since you can't bring to life the exact music the characters are portrayed as playing, especially when so much of the manga is about how emotions affect the sound that's made. Still, having just an understanding of what they sound like, and being able to work from there to imagine what they should sound like using what you know from the manga is a great help to connecting to the characters even more.
He's so pure and innocent! Everything shows! ?I hope the anime music is as good as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_Db88Ef6FQ&list=PLoCZjbxixB5XuWzZn4WQMa9At8fVPNpkk&index=4
One of my favorite things to do is find songs they're playing and listen while reading
