Thus, this page. As far as song titles go, it's about 99% accurate. (I can't claim such a high rate on the spoken word material.) Anyway, here it is, the long work of listening to the NISA soundtracks and double-checking the songs against the NISA/SHARE catalog. Search through to your heart's delight (it shouldn't take long), and if you find an error, please let me know HERE. Thank you. Are you sitting comfortably? Then, we'll begin...
