此為輔仁大學2025應用美術系電腦動畫組之畢業製作「覓路Miru」之原創音樂作品。
動畫故事為根據雲朵城市的成年禮規定，學生畢業後必需搭上列車離開家鄉。而主角是即將畢業的女孩—咪嚕，面對未來的選擇感到困惑與不安。她猶豫要選哪張象徵不同人生道路的車票，最終收下售票員隨手遞來的車票，並踏上未知的旅途。
在孤寂的列車上，咪嚕看著窗外陌生的風景，心中充滿恐懼與迷茫。而中途列車突然停下，她的不安也達到頂點。咪嚕前往駕駛室探查時，遇到了列車長，列車長幫助咪嚕理解到自己並不是在原地踏步，只要堅持前行，終會找到自己的路。隨著火車重新啟動，咪嚕重拾勇氣，決心迎接挑戰，勇敢向前。
配樂隨著咪嚕的心境而變化，配器主要為鋼琴、弦樂與合成器，並使用效果器做不同聲響處理。音樂從開頭的迷茫，到中間悲傷、無奈，而最後轉換為開朗光明。前段使用鋼琴主奏以及合成器表現出車站的寬闊感，主要從車站的角度做聲音設計，風格較為非現實。列車行駛後音樂朝著更迷惘的方向，也隨著列車進入隧道後而更為陰沉，不安的頂點則在咪嚕和列車長對話進入咪嚕的內心世界，使用大量合成器表現內心世界的回音，並且風格悲傷、無奈。在列車長給主角打氣後，音樂開始較多旋律的表現，搭配動畫重拾希望的感覺，最後在豁然開朗的氛圍中結束。
This is the original soundtrack for "Miru," the 2025 graduation project of the Computer Animation division of the Applied Arts Department at Fu Jen Catholic University.
The animation follows the story of Miru, a girl who is about to graduate in the cloud city, where a coming-of-age tradition requires students to board a train and leave their hometown after graduation. Facing uncertainty about her future, Miru hesitates over which ticket to choose, each representing a different path in life. In the end, she accepts a ticket handed to her by the ticket seller and embarks on an unknown journey.
Alone on the train, Miru watches the unfamiliar scenery outside the window, overwhelmed by fear and confusion. When the train unexpectedly stops midway, her anxiety reaches its peak. As she ventures into the train's cockpit to investigate, she meets the conductor, who helps her realize that she is not stagnant—so long as she keeps moving forward, she will eventually find her own path. As the train resumes its journey, Miru regains her courage, determined to embrace challenges and move forward bravely.
The music evolves with Miru’s emotions, primarily featuring piano, strings, and synthesizers, with various sound effects for added texture. The soundtrack transitions from initial confusion to sadness and helplessness, before ultimately shifting to a bright and hopeful tone. The beginning features piano and synthesizers to convey the vastness of the train station, with a more surreal sound design. As the train departs, the music becomes more uncertain, growing darker as the train enters a tunnel, reaching its most unsettling moment when Miru and the conductor enter her inner world. This section heavily utilizes synthesizers to create echoing effects, emphasizing sorrow and helplessness. After the conductor encourages Miru, the music shifts towards a more melodic and uplifting direction, mirroring the animation’s sense of regained hope. It concludes in an atmosphere of clarity and optimism.
