This is exciting news. We loved No More Heroes 2 when it was released earlier this year, and even had the opportunity to speak with lead composer and sound designer Jun Fukuda and sound coordinator Nobuhiko Sagara about the soundtrack. We’ve known for some time that a mini-soundtrack would be included with the limited edition release in Japan, but GHM has now made the game’s entire soundtrack available via the revamped Gasshopper Manufacture Store. Yes, it’s available in North America and other regions around the globe, and you should know that only 1,000 copies have been printed, so get them while they’re hot!
Be ready for some excellent chip music from Fukuda along with tracks from numerous bands and Akira Yamaoka. Who knows, maybe they’ll officially credit him for his tracks, although it did seem somewhat obvious what his alias was on the soundtrack. The soundtrack features 3 discs of music and nearly every track from the game.
