NieR Re[in]carnation Score Book

Japanese name: ピアノ曲集　ニーア　リィンカーネーション　（ＮｉｅＲ　Ｒｅ［ｉｎ］ｃａｒｎａｔｉｏｎ）　　オフィシャル・スコア・ブック

English name: Piano Collection NieR Re[in]carnation Official Score Book

I’m a big fan of Keiichi Okabe’s music, and I like to listen to the Re[in]carnation OST sometimes when I work. There’s a certain serenity to some of the songs that helps get through the day. I honestly wanted to play the entire soundtrack, so I had to get my hands on this book. It doesn’t have all the songs, but it has a pretty good selection of them.

Inside this book, the pages are matte so they’re pretty easy to read. The first few pages have forewords from several devs along with an introduction to Keiichi Okabe and Shotaro Seo (of MONACA who also composed a number of these songs). There’s also several pages of playing advice for each of the songs.

The songs titles have a simple background of a ruined city with the title and composer’s name. There are a few grayscale artworks sprinkled in between each page.
