Unused Song

There is an unused RIFF WAV format song file for the song titled "かくも気高き斜陽". Normally, the game uses raw Little Endian PCM with a custom header attached to it and does a three pass decryption process to play it (click here for more information on this). This WAV version cannot be played as this only uses a two pass method (header, and random byte decryption). Aside from the RIFF WAV header, the stream is identical to the used version.
