I’m pleased to announce to everyone that The Ragnarok franchise has decided to make a limited edition release of its products which include:

1. Ragnarok 2 OST by Yoko Kanno (whee!)
2. Hard Cover Artbook
3. Pukui Figure
4. Game Manual Book for Special Package
5. Jigsaw Puzzle

Only 1000 sets will be published. The set is priced at ₩78,000 (83.7935 USD). I have limited knowledge of Korean texts, but it seems like orders will be accepted from May 23 to June 31 and will be released July 10.

More importantly, we have officially confirmed that Gabriela Robin is in the OST! The musical staff is listed as follows:

Orchestra: Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra
Conductor: Yoko Kanno
Pf, Synth, Accordion: Yoko Kanno
Bass: Vagabond Suzuki
Guitar: Tsuneo Imahori
Drums: Yasuo Sano
Percussion: Mataro Misawa
Strings: Masatsugu Shinozaki Group
Violin Solo: Masatsugu Shinozaki / Ittetsu Gen
Cello Solo: Udai Shika
Flute Solo: Takashi Asahi
Japanese Traditional Flute: Akinori Inaba
Synth: Keishi Urata / Syunsuke Sakamoto
Voice: The Little Singers of Tokyo
Voice: Gabriela Robin
Voice: Ilaria Graziano

I assume that The Little Singers of Tokyo is responsible for the Intro Theme, and that Gabriela sang Hodo

The track list of the OST has been previously announced in this site, and so is the cover art, but now we have a preview of the cd booklet:

And if your eyes are clear enough, you might notice that the Intro Theme has lyrics:
