Thanks for the update, looking forward to the new soundtrack.

Already listened to some tracks and I love them. Can't wait for the release of the soundtrack.

Nice start.

I'm totally going to get it.  

I can't wait to hear about this being available outside of Japan and never getting a release date like we did for almost every other Kingdom Hearts Soundtrack

I'm getting this.

I forgot how awesome Japan's emoticons are.

 

That's nice to know.

These are the full PCM tracks. Square and Yoko were always gonna release the 5 disc orchestrated tracks and it's even been announced with Jp 2.5 release date. Nice to know it's coming along nicely. Should see it in Oct or Nov.

This is great news!
