Tsurumi Island OST 

02:17 is really emotional, I always stop moving when this theme played

Depressing OST for an island with a dark lore and backstory. Yu-Peng Chen never misses

4:55 is that moment where you just stand completely still looking around you at the scenery of the island. Dude this track rivals Dragonspine

One of the most pacefull ost of the game. That sensation of solitude... Totally impressed this time.

1:50 made me shed tears, man. It's like you're waiting for someone that will never return to you again.

2:17 is the saddest one it matches to the island perfectly loneliness sadness no civilization anymore

The new islands are just so thematically distinctive. You have the beautiful Watasumi Island, the thunder ravaged Serai Island, and then Tsurumi. Tsurumi Island's music got me curious about what happened there. Despite being a wasteland, you feel that there was something heartful underneath it all.

this ost gives has such a sad feeling to it. the stories of the people who once lived there are now lost, concealed within the fog

I love the first theme song so much, it gives a really ancient, hopeless, and sad vibe with that kind of instrument

When 0:28 start playing, I nearly cried... This part is really giving me a thrill and very sad feeling...

many years later I returned to my old city, where I spent all my childhood, it is no longer the same as I remember it, empty, no one on the streets, everything is destroyed, in thick fog. this music accurately describes the feeling of nostalgia and sadness that children once ran here, like on Tsurumi

Tsurumi Island is an island that has not been inhabited for thousands of years, the moment when meeting Ruu and about the Offering Ceremony are only memories that the Tsurumi Tribe cannot forget.

Tsurumi's quest chain made me feel so lousy that I couldn't play that game for the whole week, but man, what I would give to do it again...

This island is the most depressing place in Genshin, the overall atmosphere paired with this amazing gut wrenching soundtrack and Ruu's story is so heartbreaking... I really wish we could see Ruu again in a future quest.

Tsurumi has easily become my new favourite area in the game. This place, Seirai Island, and Dragonspine are testaments to how amazing Genshin’s atmosphere can be

I like the flute sound of the first piece which is filled with sorrow and serenity.

6:51 is my all time favorite OST in Genshin. Actually for the first time I stopped and just enjoyed the whole soundtrack. I had similar feelings with Dragonspine OST. It still carries nostalgia for December 2020.

07:40 listen and feel it, after you finished Ruu and Kapatcir's story, the emptiness, the sadness yet the love and happiness and feeling of completion... At last, Ruu is free, and the thunderbird Kapatcir is finally at peace. The traveller and Paimon will carry their legacy, the purple feather, also known a part of Ruu's spirit, to their future journey. That is an amazing story, a heartwarming completed adult fairy tale... To this point, I have to admit, Gemshin impact had outdone the breath of the wild.

Tsurumi Island’s music makes me tear up every time. The story combined with this beautiful music punches you in the heart with a deep feeling of grief and loss.

I was so spooked the first time I saw the area at 8:19 in the game because years before genshin existed, I had a nap dream, that I visited a place that looked something like this. I remember vividly the color and stone arrangement is almost the same.

SPOILERS She story of Ruu and Kapatcir is the same as the story told in the Thundering Fury set, thousands of years ago, the island was inhabited by a tribe that worshipped Kapatcir the Thunderbird, for her, human worship meant nothing, for she saw men the same as animals. One day, as the Thunderbird flew high over the skies of Tsurumi in a great thunderstorm, Kapatcir heard a beautiful song pierce the clouds, it was Ruu. Kapatcir was deeply captivated by his music, and the two enjoyed a friendly chat. Ruu promised he would sing to Kapatcir again the next time they met, and so a promise was made. Some time later the time came for the tribe to make an offering to the Thunderbird, when she arrived, he saw that Ruu had volunteered as a sacrifice, the boy lay dead at the ceremonial site, his blood filling the goblet that would be known as Omen of Thunderstorm, of the Thundering Fury set. The pain felt from the murder of an innocent child and a promise unkept drove Kapatcir mad, she laid waste to the entire island and slaughtered it's people to avenge the boy who she called a friend. Years later, the island healed its wounds and vegetation grew again, and Kapatcir was hunted and killed as a beast. All the people we've met in the quest are likely the island's memories, hence why none of them seem to be able to notice us, except Ruu.

the thunderbird quest touched me way more than the shrine maiden quest

the song at 2:17 made the story quest so emotional I love this track

02:17 and 07:41 are really emotional and made me feel so sad and depressed about the story of the island. Like, at first I didn't think the story was that emotional but after listening to that I just started crying remembering about Ruu, how everyone is just dead and Kapatcir.

This island is the most remote and loneliest island in all of teyvat.

Peng really did a great job by not giving the island a spooky tune. Though the island is spooky, the painful history resonates through the Bgm. Just loved it.

Damn. Can I be honest I was really burned out of Genshin and was about to give up the game (or at least take a break) but I did the quests in this island and it was superb. Excellent writing, the OST was hauntingly beautiful. I remember feeling Silent Hill vibe of ambience. It was sad, atmospheric, and unsettling. Also, don't get me started on the quest. It is probably the best written quest in Genshin. It is funny that I only started the quest for Childe lol but ended up loving every bit of it. So, yeah. I won't take a break from this game any time soon.

04:55 gives such a horror vibe like I always get chills when I walk through there and I just stop cuz Idk what will come out of that mist-

02:17 always gives me chills. I mean, I always stop, and take time to listen, to relax, to sink in. I just let this theme go into my heart and mind. So calming, so smoothing..

The first track, the one with the flute, is just so good. It does an amazing job at making you feel the tragedy of the island. Everytime it plays, i stop moving and just hum along with the flute. It might be my favorite OST in the whole game.

So far this island is perhaps the deepest and darkest ones. Mihoyo do really enjoy pulling stories of such nature...

Remember when Childish Jiang's quest was the darkest Genshin quest we could ever think of? Good times.... Now music from Tsurumi Island alone is sad in itself

Really gives the chills 😬.

The feeling these OST bring to us are suitable to the island: dark, lonely, sad. My mood is always down whenever I come to Tsurumi and listen to the music, especially 2:20.

Genshin is really weird, NPC story quest is more better than main story. I honestly still disappointed whole inazuma archon quest and i glad this new story quest with NPC really well written. I really demand them to put voice over in NPC story quest so all players will not get bored easily

This made me realize the thunder manifestation is the thunderbird's lingering rage when ruu got sacrificed... Damn the inazuman stories makes sense now

some said this song has the eerie vibes, but for me, it ultimately describes the beauty of a wasteland. I had already fallen for it the first time I heard from the 2.2 update. Other than Dragonspine, this is the second place that i love the most.

idk why but I nearly cried at 02:17 it's just so nice and I never cry to music but it's just so good aaaa TwT

I hate monsters interrupting the music. also might just be my imagination but I'm getting some Radiohead and C418 vibes

0:27 I really like this part ngl

Personally, I love when the fog is covering the sun and the sun pierces through the fog. I took so many pictures of it because it looked amazing and the atmosphere was nothing like any other region or island.

I love the abandoned lost with time feel it has, they done a great job on this island

Inazuma has the most saddest stories. This land really lost more then any other region ( my personal opinion)

The ost is simple yet it is so full of emotions. I had chills and had tears at the same time. It is spooky, sad and heartearming at the same time wtf mhyo

Wandering through the fog with this music is an absolute treat for an October spook!! Also it low-key reminds me of silent hill bc I always associate fog with it lol

The first time I heard 8:37, I legit teared up and idk why. That's how strong Yu Peng Chen is 😫

This theme went from really sad and melancholy to creepy for me the more secrets I uncovered

Tsurumi island really reminded me of Silent hill, strangely I like this area more than the rest of the island because of the backstory and the sad songs it plays.

Tsurumi, also known for me as the "Isle of the disastrous fog". This is the first place, where there was not a single human living in. Heck, There aren't even human enemies on that island. Definitely shows, that this place was forgotten in history.

sorrows of strays always makes me stop what am doing and i have the tears and the emotions coming out inside of me its so powerful i never thought a soundtrack would make me feel like this, master piece.

The music is so beautiful, especially this track 02:17

this island is just so good 😭✋

this is a music that have story behind it and very deep story, thats how i feel when hear this ost

Listening 04:55 when there's still got fog is kinda creepy

It's really nice listening to this away from the stressful puzzles and quests.

Tbh this "side" quest was more memorable than the Inazuma's main story quest. it's eerily in the beginning, then you realize... Prob only me, but I thought the murals in the ruin were also pretty dope

the second one is definitely my favourite. ive almost 100% tsurumi because of this ost and how much time i spend listening to it lmao

Genshin OST´s are impressive as always and It also amazes how they match each of the different places and scenarios.

I think this island doesn't fit Genshin Impact because it feels like I'm playing a different game, and I love that! I must say I was a little scared when I started exploring it and the music played a very important role in it. This island needs even more spooky and grotesque monsters to reach perfection imo.

Glad I went there on my own before doing the actual quest, the eerieness of the island at first felt genuinely authentic.

2:17 is my fave ost i feel so emotional whenever i hear this on tsurumi island :(( i miss doing the quest it's so sad 😢 i miss ruu sm 😞

The song on this island gives off a feeling of loneliness and sadness that lingers in the mist, and it also gives a feeling of mystery and falling into a misty reverie.

I just finished this side quest a while ago. The last parts of the quest made me cry a lot. So far, this has got to be my most fave sidequest in Genshin ever both story-wise and gameplay-wise. The island music is also beautiful. I wish I can get Fading Memories for my teapot. In the meantime, I'll just listen to it here 😊

Ruu's Quest >>>>>> Inazuma's Act I Quest

Fading memories just hit different. Damn near made me emotional.

Inazuma is like the most deep nation like I love it I can't express I wish I was living in inazuma as traveller

Yow reminder that this is just a World quest of an npc and it got people bawling their eyes out, imagine when they finally killed a playable character

Even foggy all over the place, these OSTs make me feel relaxed

Genshin's stories from the past never disappoints. All of the quest pertaining to a certain past lost to time are really well made quests.

It's even more depressing when I came back to tsurumi island after 2 years, it's truly my favourite place in inazuma or maybe in tayvat.

I’m sorry Teppei, but you’ve been dethroned as my favorite NPC, Ruu is now my favorite

The music makes you feel so nostalgic, sad and peaceful at the same time. I'm on day 4 of the Tsurumi Quest, but couldn't help it and read what happened. I wish this story Quest was voiced, because it honestly deserved it. It looked like Tatara Tales at first with it's real-time daily quests and I personally found that quest pretty boring, but Tsurumi, the thunderbird and Ruu was so touching. I also feel like the people we met being memories or time playing itself over and over again could be foreshadowing for other events within the game. After all, we know time flies differently in the abyss. Seems like teyvat has many places similair to this. They really saved the best island for last. It's the only place where I don't have spotify on and just listen to its own OST (After 3 months of daily inazuma you do get tired of it as amazing as the music is). Sadly, there's not much to do on there and I'm already at 96%. I wish it would make sense to go there more often T T

The first one really sounds like Subwoofer Lullaby

07:41 and 0:2:17 would be the most heartfelt in my opinion

Just when you thought Inazuma couldn’t get any darker and melancholic

From the start, this island felt sad, tragic even. As the quests continued, the unstated horror sunk in.

02:17 is my favourite

Yep 2:17 I love it so much it gives me emotional vibe and makes me want to write a story and imagining this song as the background song of it or sometimes when i hear it I think of myself of what to do next in my life

Так печально осознавать, что мы врятли когда-нибудь встретим подобную сюжетную линию, с её прекрасной музыкой и атмосферой. Я бы очень хотел, чтобы разработчики делали игру не абы как, видно они вложили много сил в Цуруми.

This island is the only place where I get an unpleasant feeling, but I even before doing the quest sensed something was clearly wrong, the people, the scenary, the atmosphere really make you question everything that happened in this place, ruu's backstory rivals some actual characters writing,if only it was voiced..

The real dark ambient music yu peng god👌 "Misty ruth" reminds me of zelda ocarina of time It gives an aura of melancholy and a certain nostalgia, letting you know that at some point there was life there...

only reason why i go back to tsurumi island was for the OST. my favorite is ruu’s melody and fading memories

6:51は、鶴観の少し怖いような雰囲気を盛り上げるのに大きく貢献したと思います。とても良い音楽です。

2:17 sound like a child's hope to see their loved ones again but also knowing that it's impossible, that everything is over, there's no turning back, everyone is gone and will never come back. Tsurumi island is the saddest place I've ever seen, and Ruu....

Its mindblowing how incredibly well Genshin delivers the sad/dark stories and atmospheres. Meanwhile being a heartless corpprate braindead gacha. I like to believe that devs made a deal with corporate leadership that they get to make 30% of the game how they like it. So that areas like Dragonspine, Tsurumi and Chasm can happen. Its so competent and has so much soul. A shame that the main game is for 8 year olds xP

Its so sad and spooky.. The locals of the island. No peaceful burial for these lost souls :(

track four sounds so nostalgic? idk why

2:17 feels like something/someone has been long forgotten

Man idk just the moment when the flute sound is a coming in a little fast. (at 0:35) That always makes me emotional. love this so much... :o

I love this music so much. Sometimes I teleport to Tsurumi Island and just listen to the music😌

Alright now these are my top favourite osts no one can change my mind : Tsurumi ost -> Unfinished frescoes -> Finale of the Snowtomb -> Dvalin's nest

Tsurumi Island : the tragedy of misunderstanding. The saddest area and quest ever made by Mihoyo yet. I cried after knowing Ruu finally passed on when he says he need to sleep.

I love how eerie some of the musics are while I’m playing the quest at 3am

After understanding what really happened to Ruu, I just feel sad while roaming through the island

07:41 sounds like frank sinatra's "strangers in the night"

This is my favourite Genshin location in the whole game! 😭💗💗💗

The flute in that first track really does it for me

Fading memories is my ultimate favorite soundtrack in the game so far .

Have you guys forgotten how beautiful the OST at 07:41 does? It sounded like the grieve and regret of the people's soul on that island. I am really proud to be a Genshin player as I can feast my ears with these beautiful OSTs everyday!

My fav is track 6 reminds of a loving friend which I don't have.
