PlayStationⓇ "Ghost in the Shell" soundtrack to be re-released in special edition

The 2-disc soundtrack CD for “Ghost in the Shell”, an action shooting game released for PlayStationⓇ in 1997, titled “Ghost in the Shell PlayStation Soundtrack MEGATECH BODY CD., LTD.” will be reissued on Wednesday, September 18th.

This work, which was a hot topic at the time for its fusion of techno, anime, and games, has been out of print for a long time and has not been distributed, making it a valuable recording. In addition to sound direction and compilation by Takkyu Ishino, the album features music by legends who have been active since the 90s and have built the history of techno, such as Derrick May and Hardfloor. The tracks have been digitally remastered, and two songs that were not included on the original CD will be added as bonus tracks. The art direction and Yamato-e illustrations for this work are by contemporary artist Takashi Murakami.

Furthermore, if you pre-order the game at the event “DEEP DIVE in sync with GHOST IN THE SHELL” to be held at Zepp Shinjuku (TOKYO) on Saturday, May 25th, you will receive a venue-exclusive sticker on the spot.

In addition, an analog version will be released around fall 2024, and some of the songs from this album will be available for digital download.
