Remake of [this torrent](https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1509729) from a few days ago for Revolutionary Girl Utena's 25th anniversary. It was brought to my attention that I used improper rips, so I ripped my own CD. Threw in scans (not my own; taken from Empty Movement) upon suggestion, too. Named the files in romaji on a whim when ripping and then I didn't want to retake the cue and log so I left them as-is under the justification that it'll make resharing simpler. An English tracklist is included for your convenience and in case you desire to rename the files. Copy of the v1's description:
This release includes the twelve tracks from Utena OST CD 04, and lyrics on external text files for the ten tracks that feature vocals. This CD includes mixes of songs from the first two arcs performed by Universal Gravitation, who sang the Apocalypse arc duel songs, as well as two songs that did play in the show: the Apocalypse version of Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku, and Missing Link, the insert song from the finale. Two songs here haven't featured in our releases yet (tracks 3 and 4), so their lyrics may not be final (though we want to give the early duel songs another pass eventually, so strictly speaking any lyrics here are liable to change in the final series batch). Many thanks to Cala and CL3 for all their excellent work on the songs that have played in the episodes we've released so far, and many thanks to bluesun for his insightful input on all the songs I asked for help with. I am most grateful for the extremely-short-notice help with Missing Link, since it was the one song I didn't have in a presentable state.

The booklet gives majinai as the reading for 禁厭.

Probably should've made it caps or something cause of katakana, but saa.
Didn't know that, sorry for butting in, always thought it was kinen, dang ateji or whachamacallit. Cool beans that it was correct in the first place. :)
Kin'en is another reading for the kanji afaik, I actually had to ask if majinai majinai made sense before putting the torrent together. It doesn't really, but this is J.A. Seazer.
Yeah, I was just doing the same. The whole word kin'en is weird, and to read it as majinai just makes it even more weird... :D But yea, this is Seazer alright. Once upon a time I was a huge fan of Utena and used to know these (duel choruses) by heart. Dunno whose idea it was to use Seazer's stuff for duels (Ikuhara's?), but it was an amazing decision. Just like the whole A(lexander) R(agtime) B(and) in Penguindrum, which is my favourite of "ikuniverse" series as whole.
Do you know what year this OST came out? I like to put the year in album directory names when I store them. Also, will you be uploading the previous OSTs?
Looks like it came out in 1998. As for the others, probably not. I only own this one, I only have complete lyrics ready for the songs in this and the first CD, and we don't plan to translate the songs from the later image albums.
Amazing work and I'm glad the episodes seems to be going along well :)
I really can't wait to rewatch this! I may start single episodes on Summer 2022 :D
Thanks for this!
