The surreal, apocalyptic world of rose brides, secret student councils, silhouette stage girls, high-stakes sword duels and revolutionary prince girls all come to life in the long-awaited 'Utena Original Soundtrack,' loaded with 36 tracks of unpredictable music that's unlike anything you've ever heard in an anime TV series. Filled to disc capacity with whimsical violin pieces, elegant, sad piano solos and dramatic dueling choruses, this is one eclectic CD, featuring 11 vocal tracks and 25 instrumentals, including the unforgettably urgent opening theme song, 'A Round Dance- Revolution' and the passionate ending song, 'Truth.'

Based on the best-selling manga series by renowned shoujo artist Chiho Saito and helmed by Kuniko Ikuhara, the director the Sailor Moon S series, 'Utena' enjoys a high level of fan/consumer awareness, thanks to the availability of the series on DVD (from Central Park Media) and the English language graphic novels (from Viz Communications). Available for the first time as a domestic anime CD release, this soundtrack features a gorgeous full-color insert booklet that includes song titles, lyrics, creator comments, and staff credits all translated into English as well as phonetic lyrics. Music arranged and composed by Shinkichi Mitsumune (Fooly Cooly, Love Hina Again).
