Mai-Hime music (Upd: anime Blu-ray box on 25/2/2026, and 6-CD box on 18/3/2026)

So it seems they skipped the single version of "星が奏でるものがたり". Other than that and off vocals everything might be included? Does anyone notice anything missing?

I still feel this could've been 5 discs tops.

Just because I have the original soundtracks, I hope this release is remastered in a similar way to the My-HiME 20th Anniversary Best Collection CD-BOX (and not like Kajiura's 30th Anniversary from JVC).

Doesnt seem to have anything new other than that game ost.

 

[grunty]

What game OST? I don't see anything new at all.

 

[george1234]

Nvm got confused with the Mai Hime one i mean the 6th Sfir disc.

Kay, that's not new either, it was previously released. So uh yea, seems everything but the single version of Hoshiga*monogatari is included.

Fingers crossed it has musicians/credits for "storm" but it probably won't, considering My-HiME 20th Best included zero credits whatsoever...

Edit:
Actually correction to my post above, I still think it should've been 4 discs.
- 2 discs for all Kajiura BGM (rearranged order compared to the original OST release), the 4 Hoshiga*monogatari versions that are listed here, tv-sizes for the TV op/ed songs;
- 1 disc for all songs from My-Otome TV & Zwei & PS2 game (but Hoshiga*monogatari) which are included here (they are mixing different media songs on single discs here anyways);
- 1 disc for S.ifr OST and full songs from that era which are included here;
There's so much dead space here... Not to mention not including all short/TV-sizes since you have space...

Whoever made that cover artwork, made Mai look like a cyclops ^^; She is turning to the left but not sight of her right eye (or she winks?)

 

[grunty]

a) the original character designer, 久行宏和 Hirokazu Hisayuki
b) it's not Mai - it's Arika.

Characters in the cover from left to right: Erstin, Irina (bizarre choice of a character for a cover but whatever lol sure she's a roommate with the rest from what I remember but still not that major of a character compared to the rest... Edit: I think I rememberd wrong - she's just a friend;), Mashiro, Nina, Arika.

Oh I just noticed they are including an interview with Kajiura in the booklet this time. (I don't think they did on My-HiME CD-BOX.)

 

[george1234]

Yes sorry i forgot her name. Might be the original designer but the angle is strange. They usually wink the eye thats closer to the camera to avoid this type of impression.

It is a little weird overall indeed. Like I'm not sure if she's supposed to be spinning, or twisting her body while running like in the ED sequence.
