New Gunvolt 2 Lumen Album Announced

I'm a bit late with this, but a couple days ago, Inti Creates announced a new Gunvolt music album: Entitled -Into the Blue-, this album is set to contain the full versions of all the Lumen songs in Gunvolt 2. In that respect, it can be seen as the GV2 equivalent of the Azure Phosphorescence album. It will be priced at 2,000 Yen and include a full-color 12-page booklet.

The artists are as follows:

• Morpho/Lumen (Megu Sakuragawa), Sumegami Electronic Symphony Orchestra (Ippo Yamada, Ryo Kawakami, Yamajet), Jaco Factory

-Into The Blue- will be officially released on November 3rd, but members of the Inti Creates fan club who purchase this CD will be able to get it on October 27, a full week early.

Here's hoping that this album comes statesside eventually! (If I had a nickel for every time I've said that, I'd be able to buy Inti Creates. Seriously, though, the vocal tracks in GV2 are insanely good!)

By the way, according to a tweet I received from Sidier, Inti also stated on Twitter that a RoRo album is on the way. No release date for that has been confirmed yet, but I want to say that we won't be waiting too long for it to show up.

Cyan's Story (A Gunvolt Side-Story From Dengeki Nintendo)

Heya folks. So, I have something really cool to present today! The past three issues of Dengeki Nintendo have featured a really interesting Cyan side-story, which just recently concluded. While it doesn't reveal many things that are relevant to the plot of Gunvolt, it is an incredibly fun read. It strikes you as one of those stories that would be in the "Admiration To Peace" drama track album. By that I mean that it's lighthearted, funny, and very captivating! I daresay that you folks will find yourself laughing out loud at different intervals in the narrative!
Anyway, huge thanks to the illustrious Zoram Selrof for the exceptional translation! I can't imagine that converting such a large story as this to English was a very easy task, so major props to him for going the extra mile to bring us English fans all this extra Gunvolt content!

Without further ado, you can read "Cyan's Story" below after the jump!

Inti Creates Sound Team Heading to MAGFest 2016

Inti Creates announced earlier today that, for the first time ever, their sound team will be heading to the West to perform two live concerts. The location? MagFest 2016.

The first show, entitled Lumen Super Live 2016, will feature music from Azure Striker Gunvolt (likely to focus exclusively on the vocal tracks), while the second will be a special 20th anniversary concert dedicated to music from the various games that Inti's worked on over the years (such as Mega Man Zero). Musical talents such as Ippo Yamada, Godspeed, Yamajet, Luna Umegaki, and Megu Sakuragawa will all be present, so you can bet that the listening experience will be almost identical to attending one of  Inti's Japanese music performances!

So far, there's been no word on whether the shows will be live streamed for folks incapable of attending MAGFest. Based on Inti's most recent practices, I'd venture to guess that they won't be (they seem to like to keep this stuff exclusive to the people who attend in-person). But hey, I'd love to be proven wrong!
