.hack//G.U. GAME MUSIC O.S.T. 2 is the second of the two .hack//G.U. Game OSTs. Composed and arranged by Chikayo Fukuda of the original .hack//Games soundtracks, the soundtrack follows a similar style to the original games. This can be seen in returning vocalist "Tomoyo Mitani", who performs in several songs on this O.S.T., including the series theme songs "Whereabouts of Truth" and "You Smiled Kindly". The soundtrack features the tracks featured in Vol. 2 and Vol. 3 of .hack//G.U. There are three discs included: a disc for Vol. 2 music, a disc for Vol. 3 music, and a third disk containing bonus material.

Lyrics
Shinjitsu no Yukue - The whereabouts of truth (Volume 2 theme)
- hari tsumeta sora wa shinjitsu tarazu
- chikazuku koto wo kobandeiru
- afureru namida shizuku to nari kobore
- kokoro ga itaku te dou shiyou mo nai
- kanashimi no hate ikitsuku saki wa

- kizamu toki wa kono koe sae mo
- keshite shimau no ne...
- karamiau kusari no youni

Yasashiku kimi wa hohoende Ita - You smiled kindly (Volume 3 theme)

The Hope of Dawn
| German | English Translation |

Notes:
- ↑ In the song, "Licht" ("light") is pronounced "Lucht".
- ↑ This could also be due to bad pronounciation, however, this word rather sounds like "fiel" ("fell", past tense), not like "fällt" ("falls", present tense). However, it's strange that the first line uses present tense, but the second line not, especially since the original Epitaph (seen in the beginning of .hack/Infection) uses present tense for both lines.
- ↑ The "e" of the word "ihre" ("their") is swallowed, making it pronounced as "ihr".
- The words to The Hope of Dawn are extremely similar to the lines from the Epitaph of Twilight, seen in the very beginning of .hack//INFECTION and read by Aina in Δ Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground.
- Regarding the content: Compared to the original Epitaph of Twilight, between the part about the sea and the tree and the part about the shadowless ones, the lines about the Arche Koeln are missing.
- This song was also used in the first series of .hack-Games in a slightly different version, namely "Aura's Theme", "Macha Appears" and "Ending".
- According to the Epitaph of Twilight, the song "Hulle Granz Cathedral" is the prequel and the song "Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground" is the sequel to The Hope of Dawn.
