Memorial Photo Album :.
120 Still Promotional Photographs split into 6 menus
Another fantastic
extra feature and an example of how a photo gallery should be done!
120 promotional photos are here some I had and hadn't seen before.
Definitely a worthwhile addition. All of the photos are selectable
from 6 static menus with music.

How to Make Composite Shots :.
Running Time: 4min 16sec
Various formats/ Non-Anamorphic
What could have
been a very uninteresting and pointless featurette turns out to
be one of my most watched extras on the disc. I love it! The entire
4 minutes shows us how the composite and CG shots are made. Included
are: the 2 shots of Nobus collar exploding; Kiriyama shooting Kusaka
in the stomach; fixing a blinking Fujiyoushi; fixing the torch hitting
Akamatsu in the face; deleting a building from behind the clinic;
the shot of the lighthouse at sunset; Kiriyamas collar exploding;
fixing the positioning of Kitanos knife in Fujiyoushis head for
the Special Version; CG blood added to Satomi being shot in Special
Version; CG blood added as Yutaka is shot in Special Version; CG
blood added as Iijima is shot in Special Version; and CG blood added
as Kawada is shot by Kiriyama for Special Version. That's a lot
of scenes. The whole thing is done without sound effects but Radetsky
March and Blue Danube Waltz play as the shots are shown.

Recording at Warsaw Orchestra ver.2 :.
Running Time:
9min 46sec
4:3 Fullscreen
Following
on from the previous release, we now have part 2 of the making of
the soundtrack. Exactly like part 1, it has no narration or commentary,
just a camera pointed at the studio as Masamichi Amano does his
thing. If this doesn't convince you to buy the album, I don't know
what will!
