Square Enix will publish the two-disc CD soundtrack for the LIVE A LIVE HD-2D Remake on July 27th in Japan. A behind-the-scenes video of recording sessions for vocal track "GO! GO! Buriki King!!" can be viewed on YouTube.

The Collector's Edition of Live A Live for Nintendo Switch will go on sale in Japan on July 22nd. In addition to the game cartridge and various bonus items, the bundle will include the CD soundtrack, composed by Yoko Shimomura of Kingdom Hearts.

Square first published the Live A Live soundtrack CD in August of 1994. The Super Famicom title features over forty music tracks. Coinciding with the release of Live A Live, the limited edition Perfect Strategy Guide Book came bundled with a mini compact disc, including CD-quality arrangements of "Battlissimo" and "Forgotten Wings."

A reissue of the soundtrack, published in 2012, included these arranged tracks, and a new vocal rendition of "GO! GO! Buriki King," sung by director Takashi Tokita and co-arranged by Jade Cocoon composer Kimitaka Matsumae.
