This is simply beautiful. The PV itself is great, too. Wonderfully shot, and the music itself is... awesome. Just awesome. For those who read the novel, you'll know that this song suits the mood perfectly.

I also like how Chihara is roleplaying Yuki - it's like she's acting out the same motions that would lead to "The Incident".

Song is decent enough. A bit pitchy and awkward at parts but otherwise vastly preferable to Aya Hirano's stint as the theme song singer for the series. Things are looking up for Haruhi vocal music.

It wouldn't be impossible that Yuki went about to school on Saturdays and Sundays to walk around alone, pondering her existence... After all, she's nearly always in her school uniform. I like that Minori brought that out in the PV.

As much as I enjoy Hirano's music, I'm glad Minori got to sing the theme song instead of her

Spoiler for Novel Vol.4:

Yeah..because this movie's heroine is Nagato Yuki not Haruhi.

Fixed

We're all aware. Most of the people here read the novels.

Oh, and spoiler tag please. "Most" doesn't mean "all".

[Kogetsu Shirogane]

Honestly, I'm pretty sure that's obvious to even the non-novel readers by now.

Sweet. A bit slow for my taste, but fitting, and no denying the quality. I've always thought Minorin has the loveliest voice of all the cast, and it works well in this song. The fact that she's smoking hot doesn't hurt... ^_^

In addition to the PV being released today in Japan, the cover was also put on Lantis's website:

No news on the ENOZ tracks; however the title was changed to "Imaginary ENOZ featuring HARUHI" on Lantis's website. Whether that is the new official title or not remains to be seen.

Such a beautiful song. I must have listened to it at least 10 times already, which is quite impressive considering how I heard it for the first time like, two hours ago. Now I'm even more impatient to see the movie itself.

...I also tried translating it, which was surprisingly easy considering how I didn't have a lyrics-sheet to go by.
EDIT: Now that the single is actually out, I've managed to get the official lyrics, and so I've made a few changes to the spots where I heard it wrong before. It should be accurate now.

Spoiler for Kanji. Just for completeness's sake:

望むことは何? わたしが問い掛ける
なにもいらない 嘘ではなかった

消える世界にも わたしの場所がある
それをしらない 自分でさえも

閉じ込めた意識は 時を結び
願いを繰り返す
また会うまで 忘れないで

巡る日々の中 わたしに残るのは
記憶それとも 忘却だろうか

やがて世界には 眠りが訪れて
ひとりひとりの あしたに帰る

選ばれた未来を 見送る扉
願いが叶っても
忘れないで 忘れないで

消える世界にも わたしの場所がある
それをしらない 自分でさえも
思い出すまでは…

Spoiler for Romaji:

Nozomu koto wa nani? Watashi ga toikakeru
Nanimo iranai uso de wa nakatta

Kieru sekai ni mo watashi no basho ga aru
Sore wo shiranai jibun de sae mo

Tojikometa ishiki wa toki wo musubi
Negai wo kurikaesu
Mata au made wasurenaide

Meguru hibi no naka watashi ni nokoru no wa
Kioku sore to mo boukyaku darou ka

Yagate sekai ni wa nemuri ga otozure te
hitori hitori no ashita ni kaeru

Erabareta mirai wo miokuru tobira
Negai ga kanattemo
wasurenaide wasurenaide

Kieru sekai ni mo watashi no basho ga aru
Sore wo shiranai jibun de sae mo
Omoidasu made wa...

Spoiler for English translation:

I ask, "What is it you want"?
You said you didn't need anything, and it wasn't a lie.

There is a place for me even in this disappearing world.
One that I don't even know of myself...

My imprisoned conscience connects the threads of time.
I repeat my wish;
Please don't forget, until we meet again...

In the repeating days, what is left in me?
Is it a memory, or oblivion?

Eventually, the world will go to sleep,
changing into a tomorrow for each and every one of us.

The door that sees off the future I chose...
Even if your wish comes true,
please don't forget... Please don't forget...

There is a place for me even in this disappearing world.
One that I don't even know of myself...
Until I remember...

Spoiler for Yasashii Boukyaku - My attempt at a translation:

What is it I want? I chase after it.
When I said I didn't want anything, it was no lie.

There is a place for me even in this disappearing world.
Though I didn't even know that myself.

My imprisoned conscience connects the threads of time.
Without looking back at my wishm, I am born again.
Don't forget

In the repeating days, do I still have
my memories, or have I forgotten it all?

Eventually, the world will go to sleep.
Changing into a tomorrow for each and every one of us.

The door that sees off the future I chose...
Even if my wish is realized, please don't forget.

There is a place for me even in this disappearing world.
Though I didn't even know that myself.

Until I remember...

OMG...I'm very touched....

Congratulations on getting it! Let us know how it is! I won't be getting mine until March, so I'm really jealous right now.

HOw did you get the OST so fast? My order is still being processed.

I know that if you order it from Amazon Japan, they have incredibly fast shipping and will likely get it to you the day of or the day after release in Japan. I'm in the US, and tomorrow I'll get the first Sigh DVD when it comes out later today in Japan. The poster may also live closer to Japan and as such the shipping times may not be as long as other locations in the world.

Spoiler for Magic:

It's on the Internet.

Unfortunately, in a really crappy file (.ape) which I had trouble even playing with anything.
And it's the complete CD in one, not seperated into tracks.

If anyone knows a way...

I don't know for .ape files exactly, but if you can convert the whole thing to .mp3 (or .wav, at least) I can tell you how to split it up (presuming it also came with a .cue sheet).

In fact, I'll do some digging for .ape files myself as well.

[Takamura Mamoru]

It came with some .cue files and I have already converted it to mp3..
So go ahead.

Look here.

[Takamura Mamoru]

Already tried that. As I said, I can convert it but I can't break it down into the different tracks. It's still just two files.
