Lisa sings on the opening theme to the Japanese TV-series Ryomaden. You can hear the song here:

Or you can download the opening credits sequence here (173MB):

Some heavy orchesteral work here! Not my cup of tea though...
Soundtrack available on CD later this month

Interesting. Any idea about the musical style of the rest of the tracks? I'm tempted to order it, but hope I would like the other tracks, and not just Lisa's.

Guess there will be some listening samples available when the CD is out on January 27th. I think Lisa only contributed the vocals to the opening theme.

What the heck...I decided to order it immediately (from CD Japan). But any other info would be very welcome. Very Happy

That's what I'm worried about Wink I mean, the CD is not cheap and I wouldn't hope Lisa's contributions are fragmented into several CDs.

Then again, no one is forcing me to buy Wink

Those who cannot afford the physical album, may purchase the digital download here: http://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/ryomaden/id350395396?i=350395408&ign-mpt=uo%3D4

You'll be needing a web-translator though, because the site is in Japanese (try google translate). Lisa's is the first track.

Apparently, though, you have to buy the whole mp3 album, but it is much cheaper than the price of the CD + postage.

Received the Ryomaden CD today, and loving it. Unfortunately, though, the text is all in Japanese.

WOW! Loved the Ryomaden CD. Quite some heavy orchestral work, which I adore. I was not at all disappointed. Totally worth the money spent. Very Happy

Do you know whether Lisa has anything on the second CD? I'd like to order them both at the same time, if that's the case.

I don't know anything about Lisa's collaboration on the 2nd Ryomaden CD. I think, she won't appear on the next album.

Whoa, the cheapest shipping option from CD Japan costs EUR 28! That's more than the CD, which, itself, isn't cheap.

Amazon Japan is just as expensive, so I've ordered the CD from Amazon UK, where a marketplace seller in Japan was offering the CD for the same price as the aforementioned sources, but without the extortionate postage fee.

EUR 28? How can it be? My CD was 3.000 Yen and the shipping was 750 Yen. You should choose the cheaper shipping method...
I have ordered two CDs from CD Japan...I received both of them...so they are very trustworthy.
