Sup everyone,
I am a major MegaMan music collecting fanatic who only wants the absolute highest quality and will only accept less when there is no other alternative. I have almost every single officially released MegaMan soundtrack in lossless quality, as well as several gamerips of games not officially released in an album, also in lossless quality. Anything that is not in lossless quality is in high quality MP3 format, with very few exceptions being in lower quality.
However, there has been one particular album that has escaped my grasp for so long. What particular album would that be? What MegaMan soundtrack could possibly be so incredibly rare, that it was never ripped anywhere at all apparently and put for upload on the web? Why, it would be this particular one.

Trust me when I say, I have done almost everything in my power to get my hands on a rip of this soundtrack. I tried just about every single possible combination of the soundtrack and the track names, all in Japanese and English characters, into Google, along with every variation of "download", "upload", and "torrent", all to no avail. I searched on Youtube to see if someone had uploaded the songs there so I could just download them using a program, no dice. I went to several different import sites to check to see if I could just buy the album in used quality, nope. After all that, I went to a bunch of different sites to check on the Japanese version of the PSP double pack that contained the CD, seeing if someone had possibly still had a first print copy that had the soundtrack in it, sending messages to sellers to please check to see if the copy they were selling had the soundtrack in question. Mostly no answers, answers from almost everyone who did respond of "We do not have the soundtrack, sorry.", and one answer of "Yes we have it." I excitedly order the game, ready to rip the CD and share it across the web on popular sites for video game music hunters such as myself, only to find out after receiving the package that the game, did in fact, NOT have the soundtrack in it (At least I got my money refunded.)
Needless to say, I gave up after that, and to this day, this is the only officially released MegaMan soundtrack that I do not have. Seeing as how this is one of the most popular MegaMan fansites around, I figure one of the staff members must have a copy of this CD lying around somewhere. I would like to humbly request, from one MegaMan fan to the next, a lossless rip of this album, FLAC preferred, to be uploaded to a site like Putlocker, so I may FINALLY add it to my collection and be just that much closer to fully completing my lossless set.
I would also like to request a lossless rip of both of the MegaMan Arrange Version Special CDs as well, but that is lower propriety as I have MP3 rips of those soundtracks. It would also be nice to see rips of some of the cell phone games like MegaMan Rush Marine, as these do not have any rips from what I can see on the web, as well as a higher quality rip of the 3 Legends games compared to what is found on the Legends Station (only 128 CBR MP3s recorded at low volume over there), offered on this site at some point in the future (would be nice to see these all in VBR V0 quality as VBR MP3s don't take up a lot of space and are comparable to 320 CBR in terms of quality), but of course the 192 CBR MP3 quality I've seen on this site are fine as well. Beggars can't be choosers after all. If it means the difference between ripping the above soundtrack(s) or not ripping them, I am willing to pay anyone who complies with this request of mine. Hopefully one of the staff members will see this message and be able to get back to me (I hear Heatman and Splashman are the ones around here who make the music rips?)
Thanks for reading!
EDIT: Yes, I am aware of the gamerip MMnetwork has done that has a lot more of the soundtrack in it, but I want to collect the official releases, and upon thinking about that gamerip, I would also like to add to my request that a log of the ripping process would be required to be included with the upload, so I can know for a fact that you did not just take the same tracks from the gamerip, convert them to FLAC, then try to pass them off as being from the official CD.
