It's not SAMSARA.
It's SANSARA, like it shows here -> サンサーラ (sa n saa ra)

It's really common that the letter M becomes ン (e.g. Capcom = カプコン). Given "サンサーラ" isn't a Japanese word, I think we shouldn't track the spelling, based on the katakana. Unless somebody knows Sanskrit says otherwise, I'd go with Samsara based on the front cover and wikipedia.

If you look at some of the scans, there are both "m" and "n" letters in the same stylized script. From these comparisons, it should be "Samsara".

I find the second-hand pricing on this album really interesting. This is an expensive album, selling for 20,000 yen or more, and has been that way for a decade.

However:

- The album isn't particularly rare. There are 5 copies for sale on YJA right now.
- It looks like the game Samsara Naga 2 wasn't outrageously popular or well-reviewed.

which makes me wonder why the album commands such high prices.


Unrelatedly, I do happen to like the album very much

Can anyone tell me what's pictured in this photo?

It's from this old auction, but I can't tell what it is:
