Who Composed The Soundtrack For First Love Limited Anime?

I’ve dug around this one a few times because I wanted to show a friend the English cast, but the short version is: there isn’t an official English dub for 'First Love Limited' (the anime sometimes shown under the Japanese title 'Hatsukoi Limited'). I checked the usual places — streaming catalogues, Sentai/HIDIVE listings, and release notes for DVDs/Blu-rays — and they only list the original Japanese audio with English subtitles. That’s why you won’t find a credited English voice cast on places like the distributor’s product page. If you’re hunting for a dubbed experience, your safest bet is fan communities. People sometimes create fan dubs or post compilations, but those aren’t official and can be hit-or-miss quality-wise. For reliable information on whether a dub exists in future, keep an eye on official licensor announcements (Sentai Filmworks, Crunchyroll, Funimation) or on databases like Anime News Network and MyAnimeList; they usually update cast lists quickly. Meanwhile, I found the original Japanese cast pretty charming and ended up rewatching a few episodes with subtitles. If you’re open to subs, that’s the simplest route — otherwise, keep checking the official licensors in case a dub is produced down the line.

I can't help but gush a little about the music in 'Secretly Mine' — the soundtrack was composed by Yuki Kajiura, and it shows. The sound is that lovely signature blend of choral textures, pulsing electronics, and acoustic strings that she does so well. On rewatching, I kept pausing scenes just to listen: there are these recurring motifs that underline the protagonist's secretive emotions, and Kajiura layers in choir-like vowels and subtle percussion to make quiet moments feel epic. What hooked me most was how the themes shift depending on mood — lighter, almost playful piano lines for the comedic scenes, then these swelling, mysterious arrangements when the plot gets heavy. If you like the haunting ambience of 'Noir' or the dramatic sweep of 'Puella Magi Madoka', you'll hear familiar fingerprints here. It made the show stick with me long after the credits rolled; honestly, I still hum the main motif when I'm daydreaming, which says a lot about how memorable it is.

I fell in love with the textures of 'Love in New Memories' the moment I heard the opening piano motif—Kevin Penkin is credited as the composer. His fingerprints are all over the soundtrack: delicate piano lines, warm string swells, and those faint, shimmering electronic beds that make the whole thing feel like a memory being rebuilt. Penkin has a knack for turning small melodic fragments into emotional anchors, and that approach carries through the album. Beyond the main themes, you'll hear subtle variations that cue character moments and shifting moods. There are quieter solo pieces that almost feel like diary entries, and fuller ensemble tracks that swell into catharsis. If you like emotional, cinematic music that blends acoustic and electronic elements, Penkin’s work on 'Love in New Memories' is exactly that—intimate yet expansive, and it stuck with me long after the credits rolled.
