96-:rip

96-:rip (called on the JASRAC database) is Disc 3, Track 12 on the XenobladeX Original Soundtrack. It is split into two parts: the first plays from the start until 2:56, and the second plays from then until the end.

The first part plays in Cauldros during the day. The second part is a more subdued remix of the first and plays in Cauldros at night.

Etymology
9 is read in Japanese as 'ku', 6 as 'ro', '-' (potentially) as 'no', and ':' (potentially) as 'tai'. The letter 'p' possibly also refers indirectly to the number 9, as the former is the latter reversed. Together (along with the 'ri') they make 'Kuro no Tairiku' ('the black continent'/'land of black steel'), which is similar to the Japanese name for Cauldros. This also aligns with the JASRAC version of the title.
