Released	September 6, 2006

.hack//G.U. GAME MUSIC O.S.T. is the first of the two .hack//G.U. Game OSTs. Composed and arranged by Chikayo Fukuda of the original .hack games' soundtracks, the soundtrack follows a similar style to the orignal games. This can be seen in returning vocalist Tomoyo Mitani, who performs in several songs on this O.S.T., including the series theme song "Yasashii Ryoute". Both Japanese and English versions of the song are used in the series. She is sometimes accompanied by a male tenor, who is currently unknown. The soundtrack features a majority of the tracks featured in Vol.1 of .hack//G.U. and, unlike the orignal game soundtrack, is not a soundtrack for all four games. There are three discs included: a background music CD, a drama CD, and a bonus CD.

Similar in approach to the original game soundtrack, the first CD consists mostly of music during active gameplay. The second disc is a drama CD, consisting of music featured during cutscenes. The third disc includes a desktop theme song to replicate the .hack experience on a computer, and two trailers from the Tokyo Game Show, plus various sound effects.

Drawn in by an unseen cold hand, I pass even time as it flows to eternity. As your eyes look away into the hazy distance, what is revealed to them, I cannot see. As the moonlight shines on my bitter cold fingers. Frozen tears of mine begin to flow anew. I look at the sky. That distant far off dream, it always has me in its view. Unafraid, I reach my hand into the darkness. I am at the point of no return. If I truly realize the person I am, hidden away inside my deepest memories. I still want to believe that you will return to me. Until you are with me, together in this place. I still want to feel until the end of time. The gentle loving touch of your hands on my face. Trapped inside this cage made of glass, hurt feelings held captive in the cold and icy night. From far beyond the infinite dark. There must always be a ray of light. I know that your eternal shining light will embrace me in the warmth of infinity. While trying to run from the pain of reality, I'm losing sight of what is so important to me. I still want to believe that you will return to me. Until you are with me, together in this place. I still want to feel until the end of time. The gentle loving touch of your hands on my face. Drawn in by an unseen cold hand, I pass even time as it flows to eternity. As your eyes look away into the hazy distance, what is revealed to them, I cannot see. What is revealed to them, I cannot see.

[edit] Hulle Granz Cathedral

German	English Translation
Der Mann mit Schatten ist auf der Such' nach dem Abenddrachen verreist und kommt noch nicht zurück. Helba, Königin von[1] Schatten[2] stellt schließlich das Heer auf. Apeiron, König von[1] Lucht[3], ihr winkt[4]. Die verflücht' Well'[5] ist gemeinsam zu bekämpfen.	The man with shadow is on the quest for the Twilight Dragon and does not yet return. Helba, Queen of the Dark, has eventually raised her army. Apeiron, King of Light, beckons to her. The cursed wave has to be fought together.

Notes:

1. ↑ ^{1.0 1.1} "von" is the wrong preposition here, correct would be a form of an article (definite or indefinite). In this case it would be "Königin der Schatten" and "König des Lichts" (both, as well as "von", would be translated as "of")
2. ↑ In the song, the word "Schatten" (shadows) is pronounced badly as "Scha..."
3. ↑ In the song, "Licht" ("light") is pronounced "Lucht"
4. ↑ "Apeiron beckons her" actually would be translated as "Apeiron winkt ihr (zu)", however, the grammar is different from today's use, making it sound like old German.
5. ↑ In the song, the "e" of the word "verfluchte" (cursed) and the word "Welle" (wave) is swallowed, making it pronounced as "verflucht Well"; the word "verflucht" is pronounced as "verflücht"

• The words to the Hulle Granz Cathedral song are extremely similar to the lines from the Epitaph of Twilight, seen in the very beginning of .hack//INFECTION and read by Aina in Δ Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground.
• According to the Epitaph of Twilight, the songs "Aura's Theme"/"The Hope of Dawn" and "Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground" are the sequel to Hulle Grantz Cathedral.
