Title: Act 4.0
Number: KICA680
Released: 2/23/05

Notes: This CD is comprised mainly of instrumentals, variations of certain themes played throughout Karekano, and original classical music played during the series. Act 4.0 was never released on its own during the show run back in 1998-1999. It was, instead, introduced as part of the series' mass release of KareKano media to celebrate Gainax's 20th anniversary. This CD is only available with the OST Box.

DRAMA CD


Title: Act Zero
Number:
Released: 1999

Notes: This CD is the drama enactment of Act Zero, which appeared in the Volume 10 manga. It also includes some bonus tracks, such as the Alarm Clock messages and the Answering Machine messages that the characters can be imagined to make. The CD was released as a zen-in (which means you had to be subscribed to LaLa and lived in Japan at the time). It features the seiyuu who acted as the characters in the anime.

Title: Memorial Drama CD: Final Act
Number: TGCD 90179
Released: 2005

Notes: This CD is the drama enactment of the final chapter, Act 102. The CD was released as a part of the special zen-in to celebrate the end of the series. I believe it required the purchase of the Last 2 volumes of Lala or the LaLa Special (feat. KareKano). The CD features the seiyuu who performed in the anime, as well as a few other seiyuu to support the characters who didn't exist in the anime. Click here for the translation of the tracks.

OTHER RELATED CDs


Title: SONGS: his and her circumstances
Number: TDCD 90813
Released: 2004

Notes: This CD was a zen-in (send-in) release of music that Tsuda-sensei felt should be some of the background music for KareKano. It includes one song that was specifically made for Chapter 72.

download all 4 tracks here (256 kbps)
TRACK LISTING
1 Oh Fortuna ~ by Carmina Browner/ Japan Philharmonic
  Note: The song that Yukino and the others used for the climax of their play, "Steel Snow"
2 YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE / Piano Instrumental
  Note: The song that Kazuma sang to convey his feelings to Tsubasa who had closed her heart.
3 Kare to Kanojo no Sonnet / Harada Tomoyo
  Note: Act 72's subtitle. The song that Tsuda-sensei has always felt should be "KareKano"'s image song.
4 Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 18 / Koyama Michie
  Note: The song that Reiji was playing when the young Arima first saw his father, Reiji. Check it out in Vol. 17!!


Title: LaLa Memorial Drama CD (28th Anniversary)
Number: N/A
Released: 09/04

Notes: This CD was a furoku for LaLa to celebrate Hakusensha's 28th anniversary. (Furoku means that all you have to do is buy the magazine.. and the CD already comes with it) It features drama shorts of the best-loved scenes in LaLa for that last year. Thanks to the many fans of the series, KareKano Act 75 (Volume 16) was voted in. The scene featured is actually the first 31 pages of the chapter, essentially the whole hospital scene between Yukino and Souichirou.
