Muscle Men & Silky Whips: Contra & Castlevania Rebirth Soundtracks Announced!

Man Konami is on a roll these days. Earlier we reported that they were releasing a 19 (!!!) disc Castlevania compilation featuring Vampire Killer on the MSX2 and Castlevania Legends from Game Boy, to name a few. Konami, however, was obviously not satisfied with a mere 19 CDs, so they decided to announce 3 more Castlevania related albums.

First announced is a set of Drama CDs, Akumajo Dracula Radio Chronicle and Akumajo Dracula X ~Nocturne of The Reminiscence based on the story of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and features most notably Shinichiro Miki, the voice of Akira in Virtua Fighter and Sagat in Street Fighter doing voice work. Second and most interesting for the non-Japanese speaking part of the world, is Dracula Densetsu ReBirth & Contra ReBirth Original Soundtrack, a collection set of the soundtracks for Castlevania Rebirth and Contra Rebirth! 33 tracks are announced to be on this album, and will include arrangements from Manabu Namiki.

It’s been noted before that Jason “Chibi-Tech” Nisperos has worked on these titles, so it’ll be exciting to see if he was only doing voice acting or if he had some hand in the music as well.
