Yun’nan, China. The last episode of the documentary with music by the greatest composer ever has been recorded by Zadok and you can download the entire audio file here [45MB].

Alternatively, you can click here to download the beautiful opening theme I ripped from the beginning of the episode. It’s got flutes and voices and oh just pure awesomeness. Since it’s a rip from TV, there is the sound of someone chopping wood around the middle but it doesn’t take away from the music at all 😀

If the links ever expire, just holler.

We will be keeping close watch on the NHK e-Catalog in case the soundtrack ever appears there.

Will not be available because Zadok‘s computer decided to die 5 minutes before the recording ended, and all was lost D:

However, Zadok also says “I did some research and it seems it’s not unheard of NHK releasing the soundtracks for their NHK Specials, so they just may release a “Sekai Satoyama Kikou OST””

I’d tell everyone to buy Z a new computer but there is no time left no time left and no one reads this anyway XD

The last episode airs tomorrow (August 27) at 10pm Japan Time.

A prequel to Mai-Otome to be called Mai-Otome 0~S.ifr has been announced in the final Mai-Otome Zwei video. Keep fingers crossed that Yuki will be doing the music for it 😀
