A different album than the iTunes version, as the "Segment" pieces seem exclusive to the Amazon version.

Uh. No, they're available on iTunes as well.

But judging by the track lengths there, the segment tracks would push the CD over 80 mins... that's a bummer, guess Kikuta's Bandcamp is the only hope for lossless. >>

I see. But then, why does our entry show two long segments that don't include those other tracks I mentioned?

My guess is it was taken from here:
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm22397752
the video was uploaded on December 6th, and nextday edited the tracklist the same day, but omitted the "SEGMENT" piece for some reason.

The first 5 tracks (or parts of one "epic", so to speak) were already released on CD before, and the total length is curiously 30+ seconds longer than than it is on the C85 version (assuming the Nicovideo description is correct). Whether the "SEGMENT" piece is exclusive to digital release or not might remain unknown for now.

Heads up, he put this album up on Bandcamp after all~

Why are his releases so expensive? Rarely see more than 12 USD on Bandcamp.
