NBGI-0089: Tekken 20th Anniversary Mix

[CHz]

Tracks 37~39 don't appear to be from an extant Tekken game, so I'm thinking they're going to be in Tekken 7. Taku Inoue and Hiroshi Okubo are credited on those two tracks as being from the newer Bandai Namco Studios (BNSI), not the Bandai Namco Games (BNGI) that's credited on every other song.

I just noticed on iTunes that track 44 length accounts for the sum of all other 43 tracks combined.
Did they mess up (track being the concatenated version of all other tracks), or is it actually a remix of all other tracks or something?

If that's really a "concatenated" track, I suggest we remove it from the tracklist.


Edit: That reminds me that I stumbled a few times upon official releases that are offered like this (concatenated track + a cuesheet with track indexes) (mostly DJ materials), I wonder at second thought if they intended it like this for this release.

37~39 are from Tekken Revolution IIRC, which has a new OST. (37=menu, other=stages).

It's kind of the other way around: what's being released is the final track, which is a megamix, and Bandai Namco includes the pieces of the original songs along with it. They've released several Ridge Racer mixes in the same format, and all the albums have the same titles as the remixes.

Yep all three are, thanks.

Any ideas how I can purchase this set from iTunes? I can't seem to GIVE my money to them for this mix set because of country differences... Any help would be GREAT!

THX in advance!

You need to buy an iTunes Japan gift card (or just its code, which is how they're often sold). There are various online vendors who sell them, frequently with a stupid amount of markup. This album costs ¥2,100, so you'll probably want a ¥3,000 gift card. Today ¥3,000 is $24.86, but most places want at least $37 for a gift card of that value. Looks like eBay sellers actually have the cheapest prices, but every one I saw still costs over $30.

GREAT IDEA!

I'll go out today and purchase a 3,000 Yen iTunes gift card from Edion to use to purchase this set on the Japanese iTunes Store. I'll provide a follow-up soon. THX!

UPDATE:

GOT IT! Finally. All 44 tracks, as I am a HUGE "Tekken" OST Fan. I needed this for my own personal collection, but I wish it was an actual CD...

Great sounding mix for a great game series!
