Unless you happened to reserve it at an import store...but you don't get the uber cool LE pack for the US version, do you, HA HA!

But seriously enjoy the game if you got it. The rest of us will have to wait a week but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy ourselves also.

One of the things that makes BlazBlue shine is it's music. With the music headed by Daisuke Ishiwatari, it is one of the more interesting soundtracks for a fighting game. But I'm too lazy to embed every song from youtube so I brought you these goodies.

Instead of the arcade opening, players will be greeted with an animated opening produced by Studio Gonzo (they also produced cutscenes that will pop up in the game) which features the song Iconoclast by Kotoko. I don't follow JP music so I have no idea how popular she is (actually I don't follow much music at all, I gotta work on that), anyone heard of her?


I think it fits the game sets up the action. Sorry for the audio, it was the only video of the console opening I could find.

Here is the song in it's entirety.


A while back I found this set of videos which feature a violinist playing his take on some of the music. Violins make everything more awesome, don't they?

Gale - Bang Shishigami's theme


Lust Sin - Jin Kisaragi's theme


Rebellion - Ragna's theme


Check out the originals here along with the rest of the soundtrack. I'm sure the console version will have much more lovely sounds to add to it though. GET HYPED!!!
