Hello Cyberpunks! Congratulations on being one of the first thousand people to sign the petition to release the Ghost in the Shell OST. If as the movie says, it's what we do that defines us, you have defined yourselves as pioneers. = Updates = 1) Most important news first: we got some positive responses from Lorne Balfe, one of the two main composers on the album. He is on board with our campaign to get the album released ASAP. 2) We got a response from Pilou Asbaek (who played Batou) saying he'll do his best and talk to director Rupert Sanders: https://twitter.com/PilouAsbaek/status/856447410188554242 3) And we received a response from Lakeshore Records PR saying: "Thank you for writing. I have received this and passed it along to the appropriate parties at Lakeshore. Unfortunately I don’t have any answers to give as I don’t know the status at this time." = Next Steps = Our goals are to keep raising awareness, and to convince the record label to release the album. I'd like you do to do three things to keep the momentum going, so we can get the album released: 1) As always, share the petition with your friends, on social media, and on various places online. Petition link: https://www.change.org/p/paramount-release-the-ghost-in-the-shell-2017-soundtrack-gitsost 2) I wrote a quick article to raise awareness of the situation. Share this article with people who need more context: "Something happened to the Ghost in the Shell soundtrack, and thousands of fans want answers" https://medium.com/@firasd/something-happened-to-the-ghost-in-the-shell-soundtrack-and-hundreds-of-fans-want-answers-477706053561 3) I wrote a comment on the top Youtube video for Ghost in the Shell. I need you to click Thumbs-Up and reply to the comment with your thoughts about the music or the movie. This way we can get it to be the top comment on the video, leading more people to discover the petition!

I'm always looking for ways to get more people to check out and sign the petition. Meanwhile we'll be continuously seeking comment from Lakeshore Records about the album. Onwards!
