Now the soundtrack details have just been released

The soundtrack features 14 tracks culled from studio recordings, live versions from The Last Live, X Japan Returns and Dahlia Tour Final as well as unplugged and acoustic performances of cuts like “La Venus” and “Without You,” the latter being a soundtrack exclusive. Two additional songs will also be on the Japanese version of the release. Check out the track listing below.

Pre-orders for the We Are X soundtrack can be placed at Amazon. The release will arrive on March 3 through Sony Music’s Legacy Recordings. The film itself will arrive on DVD, Blu-Ray and Digital HD through Magnolia Home Entertainment under the Magnet label.

After premiering at the Sundance Film Festival and the SXSW Film Festival last year, We Are X was screened in theaters around the United States. The flick will be shown in London theaters in March with additional screenings to follow in the United Kingdom.
