A Better Tomorrow - The 2nd Edition CD

A few years ago I was very lucky and bought the last copy of the Joesph Koo's A Better Tomorrow I and II soundtrack from (the best online soundtrack retailer--in my opinion) Intrada. Well, just recently I found out that the same Japanese label that put that CD out (Triarrow) released another CD called A Better Tomorrow the 2nd edition (Triarrow 00003). I orginally saw it on Yahoo Japan Auctions, and when I asked a Japanese friend about it he told me it had the same songs as the first CD (minus those from ABT 2) and one bonus cut. Well, at the same time as I was corresponding with this friend one popped up on eBay and I snagged it! Let me tell you, it is worth the time and money to snag this puppy in addition to the first CD!! It contains mostly the same ABT 1 tracks as Triarrow 00002 (the first CD with both ABT I and II). But this CD also contains some cool incidental tracks such as the pop song playing at the restaurant when Mark kills the guys who betrayed Ho (there are actually two versions of this song on the CD), and the vocal version of the children's choir playing in the background when Ho gives his brother Kit's wife the computer reels (there is only an instrumental of this song on the first CD). It also has some dialog/music tracks which are probably music where the original tapes have been lost. This CD is a real winner, and a must have for all ABT fans. I will submit this CD to the soundtrack collector's database and also send in a scan of the cover so all you ABT fans can check it out!!!!! However since I can't read Japanese I cannot translate the titles, so if you can read Japanese and want to help me translate the song titles contact me and I will send you a scan of the backcover. Thanks!
