A ten-track bonus disc that came packed with the Japanese release of Digital Devil Saga 2, and it goes absurdly hard for promotional material. "ALIVE" featuring Momota Kayoko and Shoji Meguro kicks things off with that signature vocal-rock fusion Meguro perfected throughout the DDS games, equal parts hope and defiance.

Then "Battle For Survival" drops you straight into the deep end with relentless guitar work and driving percussion that captures the sequel's desperate tone perfectly. "Madness" and "Hunting Human Beings" are exactly as intense as their titles suggest, Meguro leaning into aggressive, almost industrial compositions that mirror the game's themes of consumption and identity.
"Om Mani Padome Hm" takes the Buddhist mantra and wraps it in atmospheric synth that feels genuinely sacred, a moment of stillness in an album that otherwise refuses to let up. "Rasetsu" brings the fury right back. "Epic Battle" is one of those Meguro tracks where every instrument sounds like it is fighting for its life, and "Will Comes From The Heritage" closes the Meguro run with something surprisingly contemplative.
Then as(Tamami)'s "Time Capsule" ends the whole disc on a completely different emotional note, quiet and personal. For a bonus DVD, this is a more compelling listen than most full releases.
