Neon Genesis Evangelion Addition

Neon Genesis Evangelion Addition is the fourth music album released relating to the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise. It features three instrumental, five vocal, and four drama tracks. Addition was released on December 21, 1996 in Japan by King Records in a limited and a regular addition, which respectively bear the catalog numbers KICA-333 and KICA-334. The limited edition album was released to include a movie ticket for the first Evangelion movie, Evangelion: Death and Rebirth which was released on March 15, 1997. The album cover features an illustration by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, the character designer for the series. Addition has only been released in Japan.

Addition features the seiyu for Rei Ayanami (Megumi Hayashibara), Asuka Langley Soryu (Yuko Miyamura) and Misato Katsuragi (Kotono Mitsuishi), who between them account for seven of the twelve tracks. The two classical pieces of music on Addition are by the composers George Frideric Handel and Ludwig van Beethoven.

Hayashibara, Miyamura, and Mitsuishi are accompanied by the seiyu for Shinji Ikari and the supporting characters on the drama track Shuukyoku no Tsudzuki ("After the End"), a comedic parody in which the reunited cast tries to come with ways to continue Evangelion, when popular demand makes the studio order them to produce a third season, even though the TV series ended after a 26 episode run[71]. Presented as a "lost 27th episode", the comedy revolves around the characters breaking the fourth wall, and behaving as if they're really actors who portray the characters on the series and at other times they act as if they are the characters in the series. They try to increase the sex appeal of the series, change the show's format, and try to explain what the Angels actually are. However, when their efforts prove no success,they decide to give up on it. Humorous moments of this the drama include Rei finally lashing out against Asuka's abuse, the Evangelion pilots resembling more to Super Sentai series, and the cast reenacting the first episode purely by sound effects provided solely by their vocal chords.
