Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra & Masamichi Amano:
Footage from the Recording of the Original Soundtrack
Another short featurette running 7mins 7secs long. Its basically a look at how the soundtrack was recorded. No narration or commentary, just a camera pointed at the studio. The tracks that are played are: "Requiem", " Teacher", "Kiriyamas Theme", "Teacher & Student" and "Kawadas Theme", If you haven't already bought the soundtrack, hopefully this will persuade you to make the purchase.

Complete Text of "BR ACT":
Of all the extras on the disc, this is the one thats completely useless to me. This is basically a 17 page long declaration of the BR Act. Why is this useless to me? Its in Japanese of course! I would absolutely love to be able to read all this but unfortunately, I can't! :-(. Maybe someday I'll be able to read it :P

Trailers (Lots of them!):
The trailers get their own menu as theres so many of them included here are: the original theatrical trailer, the "Special Version" trailer, 2 WOWOW trailers, an IT commerical (not sure what this is but for those who managed to download the quick spot from the official website when it was up, its this), 7 Sky Perfec TV spots for a showing of the behind the scenes documentary, a spot for a Battle Royale book and a very cool tv spot.

So you've come to the end of the extras.... but oh, whats this? Something else?

Alternate Ending: "Requiem":
After spending a while in the extras section, I was sure that this wasn't included on the disc. But low and behold it was found in the scene selections area (or you could basically watch the film through and it plays after the credits). A full translation of the scene can be found in the Special Version section. The scene runs 1min 36secs and is in anamorphic widescreen.
