This is billed as "Theatrical Commemorative I, Ikuhara Selection 1", with the next soundtrack, OST 7,
Revival Record of the Rose SOFIA being the second of the pair. While that disc is all entirely new content by J.A. Seazer, this one is a 'selection' album, which is to say it's of content previously released. It definitely qualifies as a good stroll about the previous albums, with duels, BGM, openings/closings, and the musical all pretty well represented. It does feel padded though with stuff like
Subtitle and
Next Episode, but that's just me.
The CD has five previously unreleased tracks.
Pretty Lady Come is the Sega Saturn game's opening music.
EyeCatch II is new as far as I can tell, though OST 3,
Internal Clock, Municipal Orrery, has a different one with the same title.
Sophie - Spit of the Gods is a karaoke version of
Astragalous Earthly Backgammon, which appears on
Revival Record of the Rose Egg SOFIA.
Zeit und Zeit is the music that played in the first movie preview, and is several songs you've heard spliced together, and ends up sounding really cool.
Absolute Destiny: Apocalypse - Adolescence Cover is slightly different from the movie version that appears on OST 8,
Adolescence Rush.
There are two KICA numbers for this CD. The original print came with a ticket to see the Utena movie, Adolescence Apocalypse, which came out a few months after this CD. Those are numbered "KICA-9641", while the prints that came after, which didn't have the ticket, are just "KICA-461". The scans below include the movie ticket, unused.
A note: The given names are predominantly based on the Utena Translation Project's original translations of the songs. Where a song title has become widely accepted as different, ie. The Sunlit Garden instead of The Sunny Garden, I have used the more popular name. Punctuation has been altered to better match the Japanese tracklists. Bolded titles appear as English on the Japanese soundtrack.
The "Comparison" options when available are side by side multiple
translations, romantization, and Japanese, depending on availability. They're an awesome and surprising resource, and I hope you check them out.

Wheel Dance - revolution (full length)
Translation by Verthandi
Let's go on living, bravely and with style...
Even if the two of us are ever separated...
Take my revolution!
In the sunlit garden, holding hands,
We drew near and consoled each other.
We said we'd never fall in love again.
Such a powerful bond has changed us
And now we've become so strong.
This is our lifestyle, everyday...everytime.
In that photograph of us,
standing cheek-to-cheek,
A touch of loneliness fills our smiling faces.
Starting tomorrow, bravely and with style,
I'll become a woman everyone will notice.
Even if the two of us are ever separated,
Our hearts will always be as one.
I know money can't buy love,
But can money buy me?
They said so on TV.
Is there no limit to our apathy?
When they say we're all like that,
I feel so bad!
Is there nothing we can do?
But listen, nothing is more important
Than our friendship.
We know this better than adults do.
Even though we dream, even though we cry,
even though we hurt ourselves,
And reality approaches frantically,
I can't lose my place, the worth of my existence,
In order to protect myself.
I'll go my way and I can't return.
When the time comes for each of us to choose her own path,
I will free such precious,
Precious memories.
Take my revolution, and let's go on living,
As reality approaches frantically.
I want to find my place, the worth of my existence.
From this day, I will take myself and
Bravely strip down to nothing at all,
Like a rose spinning free.
Even if the two of us are ever separated,
I will change the world.
[Geneon Translation]
A Round Dance - Revolution (full length)
Official Translation
Pioneer/Geneon Album Release (2005)
Lets live with good grace and style...
Even if we get separated...
Take my revolution
In a schoolyard (garden) brightened by the light,
we held our hands to give each other comfort
that we would never have fallen in love
Such a strong unity changed its form
We are stalwart now,
our life style, everyday... every time
We stuff our slight loneliness into the
picture of our
cheek-to-cheek smiles
Gracefully with style, we'll be women so cool that
everyone will turn around
Even if we get separated,
our hearts stay together
Although we know that love can't be bought by money
Can we buy money with "I"?
We heard that on TV
No impression... apathy... the list is endless
We feel so bad that people think
all young stars are that way,
but we can't help it
However, we cherish our friends
more than anything and more than
how grown-ups feel about their friends
Even when we dream, we cry
and get hurt
because reality is frantically after us
We can't lose our own place and our value of existence
to protect ourselves
Before it's time to choose our own path and I can't return,
I'll go my way
I'll release this precious
- so precious memory
Take my revolution let's live with it
because reality is frantically after us
I want to find my own place,
and my value of existence until this day
I will gracefully take off,
be naked and then
be like freely blown rose petals
Even if we get separated,
I'll change the world

Incomplete returning to the

Incandescent darkness and birthed puppets
Are named, anthropoperipherism
Pulling the strings of the world is a single existence
For the others, an imaginary puppet-craft
Subzero darkness and birthed creatures
Correlated, anthropoperipherism
On the natural stage are the units of existence
Comprised of an imaginary creature-craft
Words are born, the encounter, then a hesitation
Knowledge is born, the encounter, then a void
O where am I, when am I
Spell, incantation, mystery, prayer, myself
Stage destiny magic mirror
Full moon, mysterious and transmutable,
I'm an imaginary living body come to its end
Full moon, mysterious and transmutable,
I'm an imaginary destined body come to its end
Seeking time, without rest
Living on, a speleomorph
Seeking land, armless, legless
Still existing I am, transparent, intangible,
a faint sigh...

Twin relationships are the
capricious, heartless lies of desires
propagating endlessly in the
interval between two mirrors.
Ah, man does not exist.
Ah, within the darkness
Ah, the sound of the waves
Even light casts shadows,
making a pair out of me and me.
Isolation outbreak,
that's the reason making a pair out of me and me.
Twins,
twins-in-law,
Scheming twins,
absent twins...
Since we see the invisible,
The contrived world rises to the surface.
Amusement apparatus and optical illusions,
Then contrived world rises to the surface.
Earth is a contrivance of personalities
Earth is a toybox of personalities
Earth is a department store of personalities
Earth is an exhibition of personalities
Earth is a museum of personalities
Earth is a curio box of personalities
Earth is...

Outbreak of loneliness, that's the reason...

Charge sable on field argent; shield-shaped design

Girls' Season
Translation by Verthandi
KaNNa (as Wakaba)
A girl's pet should be a Siamese cat or a Maltese dog
Our hair in billions of curls, tied with ribbons
Hugging cheek-to-cheek, aren't we lovely?
A girl's dream should be to date a dreamy guy
Watching a movie or having dinner together
With our arms folded childishly, isn't it romantic?
Someday, we'll all be grown-up
Until then, please forgive us this girls' season
Surely, someday, we'll be all grown-up
But until then, it's girls' season
We want to be told that we're pretty
We want to be told that we're cute
We want to be told "I love you"
Because it's girls' season
[EJ Translation]
A Girl's Season
Translation by EJ
KaNNa (as Wakaba)
A girl's pet is a Siamese cat or a Maltese
Decorating their curls with ribbons
Holding them, nestling your face against them - lovely!
A girl's dream is to go on a date with a wonderful boy
Going to dinner and a movie together
Walking arm-in-arm, being taken care of - romantic!
Everyone becomes an adult someday
Until then, let me have my girl's season
Surely, someday, I'll become an adult
But until then, it's my girl's season
I want to be told I'm pretty
I want to be told I'm cute
I want to be told someone loves me
Because this is my girl's season

truth (Full Length)
Translation by Verthandi
Missing truth & forever
Kissing love & true your heart
Hold me in your arms so true
Reality is the key to tomorrow
I want to keep destroying lies
Although we've said this much
I can't see anything from your side
Bothering me, he wants to understand
But I want to be misunderstood by him
Excuses are suited to grown-ups
Who still cling to fairy tales
Unchosen angels even have no
need for wings
Missing truth & forever
Kissing love & true your heart
I believe that I'll love myself tomorrow
And because I want to believe,
I want to be hated by lies
Thinking of it
Makes me warm when I'm alone
You can't see the red fruit I desire
Don't get hurt by sighs
Tears only slow tomorrow down
Even a slight fever on a windy night is dear to me
Missing truth & forever
Kissing love & true your heart
Like a child in the middle of the night
I'll stop my tears and search for love
I'll keep pounding on that door
• Repeat
[Geneon Translation]
truth (Full Length)
Official Translation
Pioneer/Geneon Album Release (2005)
Missing truth & forever
Kissing love & your true heart
Embrace me with your arms of truth
A key to open tomorrow is reality
I want to keep destroying lies...
I can't see anything in you
Even if we keep on talking
The annoying boy who wants to know me,
but I just want him to misunderstand me
Excuses are suited for grown-ups
who cling on to a story from the past
Wings are not needed for those angels who didn't
become chosen ones
Missing truth & forever
Kissing love & your true heart
I believe in liking tomorrow's self because
I want to believe
I want to be hated by the lies...
Make that a memory
Keep it warm and alone
You can't see a red fruit that I want
Don't notice a sigh
It'll be too late for crying tomorrow
I'm even longing for a slight fever that brings the
gusty windy night
Missing truth & forever
Kissing love & your true heart
Just like a midnight child
I stop crying and keep knocking
On a door to look for love...

Kunihiko Ikuhara
realisateur
I'm fighting hard against that enemy. It's formless. Or rather, it might not have a real shape. But I'm irritated that I can't beat it. I stress over not having what I want... so I forced myself, and I hated everything. Violent impulses bubble to the top of my brain. I want to hit it as hard as I can, I want to kick it, I want to strangle it. I want it to try to escape, bloodstained, only for me to corner it. I want to make it bow to me, I want to violate it, I want to dominate it completely... Who's your dad!, I'll yell to the whole area.
"
I win! I win!! Listen to me! Listen to what I'm shouting at you! You losers!!"
Right now, my heart is roused by a leftover instinct from a bestial age. I'm going berserk.
