Yeah, the 6-disc Xenoblade 2 soundtrack, and especially the USB version, have become quite sought after due to their limited numbers and have skyrocketed in price on the aftermarket.

I ordered the CD to my friend's address in Japan and he ripped it for me. I don't have the booklet right now, but the CD has Japanese credits per track. I translated them to English on Twitter (link below). Feel free to copy the info to this website's listing:
https://twitter.com/robokick/status/...311242756?s=20 I know for a fact that Yoshitaka Suzuki worked a ton on this soundtrack, yet he's only credited in the "artist" field on two tracks, which leads me to suspect that the tracks that are labeled by "Nobuo Uematsu" are meant to say "originally composed by Uematsu", with the bulk of the orchestration and arrangements done by Yoshitaka Suzuki and the rest of the stellar orchestration team. This is pure speculation on my part, but I'm asking around to see what the full story is here. |

Hey there!
Yeah, all of those Nobuo Uematsu tracks just mean he originally composed the music. Uematsu didn’t do any arranging on this album. The only new song he composed is the vocal track “Hollow”. My physical copy will come today, so hopefully the booklet has full arranger credits in there. Quote:

Okay, the biggest surprise after getting my copy of the OST is finding out that Mitsuto Suzuki, NOT Masashi Hamauzu is the composer and arranger of "Collapsed Expressway" (Disc 4, Track 2). I would have bet money that it was a Hamauzu track!

Someone gonna post the track by track credits or waiting on scans?

I can post the composer/arranger credits in a little while. If someone else is already in the process, please post here and let me know so that two of us aren’t doing the same thing.
All of the surfaces are glossy or reflective, so I’m not going to be able to get good photos. I’ll leave those to someone with a scanner. |

If you don't mind posting them.

Thanks for sharing your precious time posting the credits. I know you could do something more prosperous.

I've finished the composer and arranger credits for all eight discs!
I'll add lyricist credits and track lengths a bit later. I need to go eat dinner |

Thank you for the updates
Out of curiosity, is there any mention of orchestrator credits? |

Yes, there's a separate page with all of the recording section credits (musicians, orchestration, etc). No track by track orchestration credits, but here's what's listed— Orchestration: Masashi Hamauzu Shotaro Shima (Globe Enterbrain) Yoshitaka Suzuki (Polion, Inc.) Yoshinori Nakamura (TV ASAHI MUSIC CO.,LTD.) Sachiko Miyano (Shangri-la inc.) Yasunori Nishiki Tomomichi Takeoka |

No track-by-track, but I think we can safely assume that 'arrangement' and 'orchestration' basically mean the same thing here. No idea what Tomomichi Takeoka was involved with though... |

Added all credits from the book except GAME SECTION (game credits) and PACKAGE SECTION (package stuff). There are bound to be typos, fix as you see them or validate against scans once they're posted.

music video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZlcl6Tg3tE in game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45OEuQDtUog Disc 8 tracks 4 and 23 sound like the same female vocalist singing one in Japanese and the other in English. A stretch but maybe not this https://vgmdb.net/artist/577. Song YouTube sample 1 and YouTube sample 2. Compared to in game. JP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4Eu9R3vLRo EN https://youtu.be/Z8EMvDmYxmc?t=4958 This Keisuke Albert Kato not sure if it's the same person but this person has been in other Square products such as Kingdom Hearts, Chrono Cross https://vgmdb.net/album/88352 but as part of another role. I can already see it being fruitless with a name like "non". Also got this tweet. Quote:
Vocals: Al Copeland / M4.22, 26, 6.15 Guessing here, lyrics to them possibly, Original Lyrics: Motomu Toriyama, Lyrics Translation: Ben Sabin, John Crow ? edited: my bad guess was tired when I wrote the lyric part and didn't see it already listed.

I never made this connection until now, but the resemblance is uncanny...

- Moved the twitter Al Copeland update out of the transcribed liner notes to their own section.

I wonder if anyone could upload some scans, if they have their copy (or that regular edition)

My scanner is not great, but if nobody adds anything, I have both and can upload some previsionary ones. I will say - I would LOVE if someone has a nice, clean copy of the standard edition cover, be it through scanning or a digital recreation; unfortunately, my copy came with some bends in it

I upload tons of images of my soundtracks to the database, but I do them all using my iPhone X's camera. In most cases, after cropping and editing, these turn out great and look nearly as clear as scans. But in this case, the paper and print quality is super reflective and I simply can't get good, clear images with just a camera. And this release it too popular and important to not have it done right, so I'll leave it to someone with the proper equipment.

Why does the release price differ from what's on CDJapan?

I just checked and it doesn't. 8555 JPY with tax included.
