The Dragon Lapis soundtrack was arranged by renowned composer, Ryuji Sasai. Here is the short official trailer:
A thousand years have gone by since a great battle raged between the mighty Gold Dragon and its nemesis the Silver Dragon. They were sealed away, but the Silver Dragon reawakened centuries later to launch an assault on Frontier Village. A royal knight named Lucas, serving as a guard, is unaware that he carries in him the bloodline of the ancient hero who sealed the dragons away. Now tragedy has befallen this world once more, and Lucas must set out on a grand adventure to save his imperiled homeland.
