[edit] Theme songs

Opening 
"H.T." written and arranged by Tsuneo Imahori.
Ending 
"Wind Blows to the Future" (風は未来に吹く Kaze wa Mirai ni Fuku) written, composed, arranged, and sung by Akima & Neos.
Character development 
"Sound Life" by Tsuneo Imahori - associated with the character of Rem, and by extension Vash's early life. It is a story of the development of a world, starting on the first evening and ending on the eighth morning (something like the Bible story of creation). The final verse of the song (in Japanese) is: Saa...atarashii sora ni subete wo shirushita kumikyoku ga hibiku, which translates to "Well then...A song that has recorded everything echoes to the new sky." The song has been on the planet for as long as humans have.

[edit] Video games

Trigun: The Planet Gunsmoke was announced in 2002 by SEGA, but little news has been heard since. It is assumed to be still be under development by Red Entertainment. There is also a free Trigun themed third party modification for Half Life 2, titled "Trigun: Permanent Vacation", which is currently in development.
