Geneon started the second part of their double panel by showing the anime soundtrack section of their 2005 promo dvd. Stephen mentioned the King Records panel later in the afternoon and urged people to go and voice their suggestions for US cd releases and convince the reps to license PVs (music videos). He also urged the audience to use their consumer power to show retailers that the anime cd business is viable. He made it clear that future cd releases are heavily dependent on sales of current releases. Geneon and Musicland Group are collaborating on a Yoko Ishida Para Para concert tour.
Correction on Tetsujin 28 OST 2, release date is 11/01.
The only other new music license announced was Melody of Oblivion OST, which is coming out on 12/06.
I asked whether the Fafner OST will have the TV edit or full length OP & ED songs. Stephen answered that Fafner OST 1 will have the full length versions of OP 1 & ED 1, and OST 2 (release date not announced) will have full length versions of the songs on the 'image single' (Proof & Fly Me to the Sky).
