This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
I don't know japanese but it seems that yesterday J.A Caesar has released two new albums simultaneously with songs from the anime series. I don't know if the songs has been recorded again or what are the changes he made. Anyway, here you have a link to the japanese site natalie.mu and links to Amazon Japan Store. I wish we could listen some samples...

What a nice surprise!
The two Utena Cds appear to be high-quality remasters of every J.A. Seazer song from the original soundtracks. Not re-recordings, but still cool. The Japanese article lists tracks from another (new?) Seazer album as well, but it appears to be unrelated to Utena.
I notice there's some kind of Seazer concert in Tokyo on May 3rd and 4th. Anyone in Japan right now?
Looking on Amazon, I also notice a CD recording of another Seazer concert, which DOES include Utena tracks...in fact, that concert's subtitle appears to be THE END OF THE WORLD.

Here's a site with more info, links to places you can buy tickets, etc. The first one is the 3rd, the second link is the 4th. Can you navigate the Japanese and stuff?

Will there be samples? Trying not to desperately get my hopes up for a new symphonic version of Tainai Tokei Toshi Orrery.
Well, I've already failed at not getting my hopes up.

Sorry, the new Utena CDs are remastered versions of already-released tracks. And Orrery isn't one of the songs that they did on the recorded concert, either. (Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku and Angelic Creation, Namely, Light are the only two I recognize on that track list off the top of my head.)

hrmm...
On one hand I'm a completist. On the other...I'm poor.
Are there any animu websites likely to carry this for shipping out here? I'd buy the albums on their own but the shipping and third party purchasing is what's killer.

Maybe KissFromARose can pick them up for you? Or I plan on visiting Japan in December if you're in no hurry.

Curses! So they're not even new recordings? Then I might give it a pass, unless there are songs on there that aren't on the 10-disc Utena soundtrack.

Ohh ohh, if you do I'll totally repay you! It'll be way cheaper to send them even from Texas than by proxy.

What's J.A Seazer known for outside of Utena?

I think before SKU, he was mostly known for scoring films and composing rock operas. He also was a member of Ban'yū Inryoku, which was a theatrical company.

Gio,
Which of the 3 CDs did you want?
Greenish colored? http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B01ANHORM6
Pinkished Colored? http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B01ANHOQ2C
JA Caesar album end of the world? amazon link that looks really ugly
If you want all three (or others not listed) just let me know. Its also fastest to get a hold of me by sending me a ping on twitter. (i'll send you a PM with that info as well!)
