I have reached Yuki nirvana
:confu: :confu: :confu:
:confu: :ayashii: :confu:
:confu: :confu: :confu:

Well... I got these scans the other day, and was rather surprised... Everything's in English, including the transliteration AND translaton of Houseki, a comment from Yuki and all credits. :waii: Judging by the tracklist, there are no tracks omitted either (unlike in the US release of Fiction :bloodlust: ).
The distribution is credited to Geneon; according to Pikiwedia, they did release the OVAs themselves overseas, but there's no mention of the OST, either separate or bundled. Still, I wonder if it might still be on sale... Could be relatively easier to get one's hands on than its Japanese counterpart. :stars:
 
I have the Geneon english releases of madlax, aquarian age, boogiepop, and some others I don't remember I think. I think naoise has cossette and noir... I remember being so excited buying them XD

it's impossible now because Geneon died a few years ago and the only ones available now are leftovers that sometimes (rarely) pop up at anime conventions :cry:

they were the only legitimate publishers in north america :( now all we can get are those very well made bootlegs by MIYA

At least I have learnt that Yuki' OSTs WERE released overseas once... :TdT:

eBay is a goldmine... that has now officially broken any possible deals involving the word "Belarus". Can't even really blame them... :uh..: :uh..: :uh..:

Lol the tracklist is from KOTOKo's debut album hane

After encountering Key of the Twilight in the bootleg edition of Enya's album, such things hardly surprise me. :psst:

From the announcement it seems the bonus CD only comes with Houseki and Ballad. Shame. It would've been nice if the bonus CD included some of the BGMs in the versions they appeared in the show. Here's Unhallowed as an example (!spoilers for animu!):

(Actually this is the only one I can clearly remember having a different version, lol. I like it more than the OST edit.)

Don't really trust the Bluray's going to look pretty since it didn't look that great on DVD in the first place. It's surprisingly cheap, too, hmmm...
 
Quite a few soundtracks--including Yuki's--got US releases from Geneon before they went under. Noir OST I & II, both Madlax OSTs, Petite Cossette, even Aquarian Age.

.hack//SIGN had the CDs bundled with the limited edition DVDs, iirc. Aniplex is still doing that with some shows, like Madoka Magica and the recent release of Fate/Zero (cheaper than the import box now... but still outside of my budget range).
 
Late reply, but I hope this helps...

I own the 2004 Geneon album, which is I think the US import. I thought I paid a lot for it at the time, so it must've been before I knew how much CD albums in Japan go for! :omg: Here's the full tracklisting, as it's written on the back:

1. the main theme of Petite Cossette
2. somewhere I belong
3. moonflower
4. sadness
5. regret
6. love pain
7. unhallowed
8. leave me cold
9. breakdown
10. in a beautiful morning of May
11. a prophet's dream
12. undertow
13. float
14. fake jewel
15. silent ceremony
16. evocation
17. my love, so sweet
18. jewel

The inlay has a translation of the end theme in romanji and English, plus English-language production credits and a short couple of paragraphs where Yuki outlines the background to her part in the project.

If it is indeed discontinued, it's a shame. I absolutely LOVE this album. Thanks for reminding me about it!
