Draw Your Blade and Drop The Needle on These Ninja Gaiden Soundtracks

Ninja tradition may hold that these deadly warriors operate silently in order to perform acts of sabotage and assassination. But sometimes even a ninja needs to blow off a little steam and crank up the tunes. And for those times, we’ve teamed up with Kid Katana to offer some of the finest ninja jams of this or any era: the soundtracks to Koei Tecmo’s Ninja Gaiden II Black and Ninja Gaiden 4.

Ninja Gaiden II Black brought 2008’s high-octane action game into the modern era for current-generation consoles, presenting a faithful take on the famously challenging Xbox 360 classic with ultra HD visuals. And, debuting last fall, Ninja Gaiden 4 brought Ryu Hayabusa roaring back into the dark and deadly world of 3D combat for a totally new adventure—a perfect complement to his return to 2D combat in Ninja Gaiden Ragebound.

The Ninja Gaiden 4 soundtrack comes in two versions, Standard and Limited Edition, while the Ninja Gaiden II Black soundtrack is available as a Standard Edition only.

Ninja Gaiden 4

Standard Edition - $109.99 MSRP

  • 4 classic black vinyls.
  • Handpicked curation of the game music, mastered for this specific vinyl edition.
  • Includes “Infinite Gale“ DLC track as bonus.
  • Matte 4LP slipcase with a glossy effect on the game’s logo.
  • 4 printed sleeves with “Bloodbath” design, alternating between Yakumo and Ryu execution animations.


Limited Edition - $119.99 MSRP

  • All the features of the Standard Edition, plus:
  • Limited “blood splatter” vinyls with a unique “splatter” effect: handmade vinyl effect with transparent red base and white splatter. Each vinyl has a unique pattern that evokes Yakumo & Ryu’s combat styles. This edition will not be repressed.

Ninja Gaiden II Black

Standard Edition- $64.99 MSRP

  • 2-colored vinyl with a unique “corona” effect that is reminiscent of “Sumi (black ink)”: handmade vinyl effect melting white and black colors to shape a unique vinyl color on each product, evoking Ryu Hayabusa style.
  • Handpicked curation of the game music, mastered for this specific vinyl edition
  • A Gatefold created for this specific vinyl
  • Kid Katana Record produced this album with supervision from Koei Tecmo Sound, who composed the original game music.

All three vinyl sets are available for preorder through Limited Run from June 8 until July 12.
