The L.O.R.D: Legend of Ravaging Dynasties / “爵迹” movie’s website (Yuki Kajiura on music) apparently has an english version (of the site), where you can find english subtitled trailer, as well as that the movie will also be screened, apart from China, also in threaters in USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, Ireland, and Fiji islands!. Visit the list of theaters and see if there’s one close to you 😀 The movie will premiere on September 30 in all these countries, and in some of the US theaters there might be a sneakpeak on the 29th!

There’s also available on YouTube a PV of the theme song that has footage from the movie and later on shots from the recording of the music where you can see Yuki Kajiura, and the usual band members accompanied by chorus and strings!

thanks to Smiley for the news!
