fits perfectly. 'King of Bandit Jing in Seventh Heaven' and a surrealistic photo

I'm not sure there are many fans of Scudelia Electro in this world, and I guess I wouldn't want there to be many, but I am sure the soundtrack to 'Kind of Bandit Jing' was genius.

Tegamibachi music collection incomplete ~ trying to do something with that

as I have said, there are a few unreleased themes in Tegamibachi. some of them are like 'friendship', pieces by Ryou-san left out of the OST album, but some of them are real ones
I cannot list all of them, but at least I could try to name those I remember - while I still remember
two of them is Aria's violin bit hits. they are mentioned, for example, here and are Bach's works. the first is Air in D Major from Orchestral Suite No. 3 - used not only by Aria, but also as a background. I can remember hearing it in ep. 3 of Reverse in the end of the episodes when Kimidori's memories are shown, and in ep. 9 when Lag speaks to the elder daughter of Maka in the end of the episode, and dozens of times more
the second is Sonata for Solo Violin No. 1 in G Minor
let me be honest, I do not remember the latter being used, but meseems it must be Aria's shindan in ep. 13 of Reverse, simply because she announced her attack as 'Sonata No.1 in g minor for solo violin'
BTW just right after 'Air in D' in ep. 3 goes a frequently used instrumental which I suppose belongs to Ryou-san
in ep. 4 memories of the old man are accompanied by a very good instrumental which is, again, unknown to me 
ep. 10 has a nice cute instrumental in the middle, when Sunny asks the Bees what they want in Lament
ep. 11 has a strange melody played by strings (?) while Roda, Lag and Connor have a short confrontation, but more importantly - one of my favourites, the piano solo used as a background for Sunny's memories
ep. 9 of Reverse has an organ instrumental, but since 'tis too slow I could not understand what 'tis
one of the biggest inspirations, I believe, is Chopin's Nocturne #20 in c sharp-minor, which gave its name to Gauche's heart bullet gun
and Garrard's gun is called Partita #3 named after Bach's work I guess

my humble opinion on 'Bartender' anime OST

I have mentioned already that I liked the music in the anime a lot. however, 'tis worthy of a better explanation
the first merit of the OST is its diversity. while the 'theme' of the OST is obviously jazz, there are melodies of  all possible types in the collection. we have energetic pieces, as well as sleepy ones, we have ones created as manifestations of bliss, some remind us of waltz or march, some create vivid images, and what not
moreover, though the piano is present in every piece, there are a lot of other instruments participating, and this fact maketh the compositions different, and still united
another trend which I like very much whenever I come across such a phenomenon is creation of similar pieces by the author. f. e. 'highball' and 'bartender (piano session)' are variations on the OP theme, the 'hajimari no hito (piano session)' speaketh for itself, and 'Kir Royal' is a kind of a slower and sad version of 'million dollar'. meseems I could find some more, but there are a lot of them, so it probably taketh time
as a conclusion, I should simply say thanks to Ohtani-san and all the performers who brought the beautiful album to soothe my soul
