Well, it’s not Opoona, but it’s a good sign from Basiscape. I was starting to worry that there wouldn’t be a soundtrack release for Muramasa, as it definitely deserves one. The soundtrack is a perfect accompaniment to the stunning traditional Japanese visuals, and it would have been a shame if the music had gone unreleased.
As I mentioned, the soundtrack will feature three discs of music, which I’m pretty certain doesn’t cover all the music in the game, but hey, it’s better than nothing. Even more, the release marks the debut of Basiscape Records, which will see Muramasa The Demon Blade Original Soundtrack as well as Kumatanchi Original Soundtrack both released on December 16, 2009. I hope having their own record label paves the way for a future Opoona soundtrack release, but in the meantime, look forward to both of these, as they should be something really special.
