Cover for Gyakuten Saiban Sound Box, a new CD collection being published by Capcom on February 8. This set collects the music from Ace Attorney 1-3, specifically as it sounded through the “high quality” Wii hardware. Do I need to go back and get the Wii versions now?

I’m glad Capcom is still serving the fanbase for this series in Japan… :(

Solatorobo’s U.S. release to include OST

When Solatorobo: Red the Hunter ships in the U.S. on September 27, each copy will include a soundtrack CD, a replica of the 24-track OST (pictured) that was included with Japan’s collector’s edition. The album features “a full orchestral score that foreshadows the epic struggle for survival that awaits protagonist Red Savarin.”

You’ll pay a bit more for the game because of the pack-in, $34.99, but if the music is as good as import impressions indicate, that’s not so bad. Props to Xseed, “the bravest publisher in America”, for coming up with something extra for fans (even if this is just a ploy to encourage consumers to buy the game instead of pirating it).

Cave Story 3D’s Egg Corridor music, by Danny Baranowsky. I believe the smartest thing Nicalis can do to instill confidence in the 3DS remake of Cave Story is to continue tweeting samples of the new music. Everything I’ve heard sounds great! Different from the original Pixel version, but still rad.

New Club Nintendo rewards for Japan: Kirby’s Epic Yarn pouches (150 points each) and Donkey Kong Country Returns OST (400 points, 250 if you bought the game).

The 13 x 9 cm cases are available in two colors and have a zippered compartment in the back. It’s probably too tight a fit for a Nintendo 3DS, but I’m sure you can stuff all sorts of other junk in there. The DKCR soundtrack CD includes 25 tracks — see them all (in Japanese) here!

English trailer for Radiant Historia, coming to the U.S. on February 22. Thanks, Atlus! Now about 7th Dragon…

The steampunkish RPG’s primary draws include Chrono Trigger-style time traveling that allows you to significantly change future events and endings, a tactical combat system in which character/enemy positions and your manipulation of them is key, and music composed by Yoko Shimomura (Kingdom Hearts, Parasite Eve).

Related to that last point, it’s no big surprise, but Atlus will throw in a free music CD featuring unique piano arrangements with each launch copy of Radiant Historia.

Buy: Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey ($19.99), Buy 1 DS/PSP game, get 50% off a second

“The End of the Raging Waves” from Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City’s soundtrack. I imagine that when Yuzo Koshiro first laid out this track on his PC-8801, someone in the studio yelled out, “You crazy for this one, Yuzo!”

Maybe it was the game’s director Shigeo Komori or just a friend hanging around. Or perhaps it was Koshiro-san himself, impressed with the work his hands wrought. Regardless of who it was, I am certain someone acknowledged that he was indeed crazy for this one.

“Amelie Poulain Plays Korg DS”, a chiptune cover of Yann Tiersen’s “Comptine D’un Autre Ete”, arranged by J8bit.

Amelie is one of the three films tied in my rankings for “favorite movie of all time”, right up there with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Let The Right One In, so I really wish there were more chiptune covers of its soundtrack. Bitmuch created this Amelie remix last year that starts off great, but there’s some annoying (IMO) reggae vocals that cut in after a minute.

Anyway, this sounds great and reminds me that I really need to spend some time with Korg DS-10 Plus.

Buy: KORG DS-10 Plus, Amelie

Rockman Series Dodeka! E-Tank cushion. It’s a giant stuffed E-Tank. For the home. E-Capcom is taking preorders for this item (in Japan) at a price of ¥2,625 ($29.46), to ship on March 31.

Should your desires lie in more practical, audible things, Capcom is also releasing a Mega Man 10 soundtrack the same day. E-Capcom orders include an “Inti Bonus Disc #1.” Good luck propping your feet up on that.

Cover art for the Muramasa: The Demon Blade and Kumatanchi soundtracks, both by Basiscape, and both out in Japan on December 16. That Muramasa cover has a surprising, NSFW amount of ethereal booty, which is why I’ve obscured it with Momohime’s spirit from some fanart (hit the Amazon link above for the original). The Kumatanchi cover has a surprising amount of bunny-girl melodica!

The Muramasa soundtrack is three discs! I need to figure out how to purchase one of these.

“Crescent Serenade” from the Phantasy Star Zero soundtrack. This is basically classic PSO: really atmospheric, with a mix of orchestral and sci-fi type sounds. I don’t know how to describe music.

Famitsu reports that PS0’s soundtrack, along with the soundtracks to Phantasy Star Online, PSO Episode I & II, PSO Blue Burst, PSO Episode III (THE CARD-BASED ROLE-PLAYING GAME), and the Phantasy Star Universe series are all available on iTunes in Japan. So if you know how to access Japanese iTunes, you can do that. Or, if I’m an idiot and I missed their domestic release, you can tell me.

I mean… I looked, but there’s always a chance I’m an idiot. I’m prepared for that eventuality.

Cover for Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon soundtrack (not the Japanese preorder bonus disc).

Fragile Dreams, in case you didn’t get the memo, is the new U.S. title for this Namco Bandai RPG. I always forget how beautiful the Wii game’s blue-and-purple tinted visuals are until someone reminds me with a video, “Hey, remember this game? Yeah, it still looks gorgeous.”

The soundtrack also betrays that the game has more going for it than just its exceptional graphics and lonely setting. I’m not familiar with composer Riei Saito (sound designer at tri-Crescendo), but she masterfully matched Fragile Dreams’ music with its abandoned world.

“Hikari” (Fragile Dreams theme) by Aoi Teshima:

“To All People” and “The Girl With Silver Hair”:

Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon (and its new awful logo) will ship in the States in early 2010.
