In order to offer the best celebration for this exceptional game, Wayô Records offers two versions of the original soundtrack in vinyl format: the Collector Edition in tribute to the original jacket of the game with the Saturn Marble Green color limited to 500 copies, and the Regular Edition with the Mint Green color.

In addition, the arrange album of 1998, Vent, out of print in Japan for years, entirely arranged and performed by Noriyuki Iwadare and his best musicians, is included as a supplement to the original soundtrack, on an additional disc!

To complete this great release, the Collector Edition limited to 500 copies will be accompanied by the Piano Score of the main theme, and a Shikishi featuring a completely original illustration by Toshiaki Hontani, the original character designer from the game!
