I just stated the facts: Kadokawa has referred to it as a "rebroadcast" from the beginning, and the 14 new episodes WERE broadcast in between the 14 old ones. It's not a true "second season" because it's not even a continuation... the new episodes merely fill in the gaps. It'd be better to refer to it as "Haruhi 2009" or the "new season". |

...I just found a hard copy of the nine novels, as well as the DVDs for Endless Eight and the character CDs. Except in real life. |

I've always wanted to go there, but considering I fail epicly at Japanese I can't really go... I've always wondering what the actual novels looked like.. |

I talked to a Japanese girl and apparently while most people enjoy the character songs, they're also seen as marketing tactics. Apparently even this girl, who was a hardcore fan enough to sit through Endless Eight, wasn't aware that there were new character songs. |

I echo keri's sentiment. I saw them when I was in Japan last year, and they were nowhere near that small. Most light novels are A6 in size, which puts them at around 4.13in x 5.83in. Did you see them in a general-purpose bookstore or one focused on otaku-interests?

Sorry, I didn't read the whole topic (understandable), and I heard that the second season OST was available as a bonus in the limited edition of the second season DVDs. Is this true?
Where, precisely, please? |

I'm not even sure if this has been translated already, but if it hasn't, I'll post mine. Anyone, please, do feel free to correct/change my version to your liking. Spoiler for Senzaiteki no Taiyou no Shoumei English Translation:

The Background music is available in the limited edition special disc of every Japanese DVD release. With the DVDs released in 2006-2007, they were tracks combined with part of the radio broadcasts from the online radio. With the current DVDs being released, they are in a video format with still pictures from the episodes as well as some background information about the music being displayed. They are also coupled with a couple of pieces involving Taniguchi's seijuu on the current DVDs. So far the only chance to purchase any BGM that is not coupled with the limited edition DVDs is coming next month when the Vanishment OST is released on January 27th for 3300 yen on a two disc set. Hope this answers your question.

http://www.sos-brigade.de/wordpress/?p=3358 @ultimatemegax These videos are in PCM 2.0, so that they have at least the same quality as a CD. I plan to rip them and create my own OST when I find the time^^.

Since I cannot go back to sleep this morning and it's too early to open presents at my house, I will open a present for you guys (OST titles).
Spoiler:
There's some preliminary information about the title of the theme song, but I'm going to wait until I can get some better confirmation on it. Minori-san recorded the song this week, so there may be some validity for this information. An interesting fact is that Tanigawa actually wrote the lyrics to the song. |
