Opening (Japanese:オープニング)[1] is the second track from the WILD ARMS Drama CD. The audio is Japanese-language only and was released exclusively in Japan. The radio play stars Akiko Hiramatsu as Elmina Niet and Tooru Ookawa as Alhazad, in the scene where Elmina has trapped herself at Arctica Castle to hold off Alhazad alone. This track segues from the previous track, "Prologue", and could be considered a part of it as the dialogue is brief and only covers the first quarter of the track, with the series' main theme song "Into the Wilderness" filling the rest of the track.
