Thanks to the site, I discovered Kowloon's Gate. I like everything that has to do with it, and researching I found that there's more than the game's English translation that is lost.
The game received many different soundtracks sold only in Japan, naturally. All composed by Kuniaki Haishima (who also composed the music of the anime Monster).
~First, there's the original soundtrack and the reprint made in 2014; which added the song KOWLOON BURN. Both are online and even in FLAC format. But I can't seem to find the scans of the booklet.
~There's also Kowloon's Gate Original Sound Collection, which has every single song from the game and added the song "Key to the city" sung by Wang Tiange. It is online but it's rare to find it. I also found a FLAC, lossless version of the album. I found the scans in the Sonix rip.
~We also have Kowloon's Gate if. It includes 4 songs and is nowhere to be found online, rendering it lost. Apparently it came with the also lost book Kowloon's Gate Archives.
~The recently released album Kowloon's Gate Saman Land is also very rare. It's on streaming platforms, including Spotify, but it's only available for Asia. I only found snippets in the album's Amazon page.
~Kowloon's Gate received a less known treatment on Japan. There was a concert made in 2016 (if I remember right?), which apparently offered different arrangements of the songs. It was, apparently, streamed in Niconico Douga, but the site doesn't archive livestreams, so the concert itself is also lost. I came across a blog detailing the show, but I can't seem to find it right now. It was a year ago when I found it.
~There's also a very obscure Kuniaki Haishima album called "Element", which has an exclusive arrangement of the Kowloon's Gate theme song. I only found a snippet in the album's Amazon page.
I mentioned before that there's also a book called Kowloon's Gate Archives, which can be considered lost, since aside from the cover, I can't find anything else. And allegedly, KG if also came inside of the book, but I can't 100% confirm this.
As a fun fact, in an early trailer for the game, you can find a prototype version of the game's theme song.
