Recital Drama Script Books
The original script book for recital drama is extremely limited and was given to people attending the concert as a bonus for ordering tickets from Square Enix E-Store. Because the book was given to people starting from the first Osaka concert and it contained scripts for not yet performed recital dramas, there was a certain hype related to it being leaked. See: NieR Music Concert Script Book leak drama
People attending Taiwan concerts also received the same script books but translated to Chinese.
Original script book contains scripts for all recital dramas held in Japan. Chinese script book also has added scripts for recital dramas from Taiwan concerts.
Another script book which is given as a bonus for pre-ordering concert Blu-Ray features comparison scripts for Farewell as well as scripts for Lies (2B) and Lies (Pascal).

Blu-Ray Release
Both concerts on May 5th were live-streamed on NicoNico and recorder "just in case".
Because of the success of the concerts, Square Enix decided to release a Blu-Ray disk with the recording of the nighttime May 5th concert "Farewell".
Along with a full video of the concert, the disk features all recital drama performances (aside from Farewell which is shown in the actual video) in audio form. Disk menu allows to choose any of the performances and listen to them, at the same time watching text displayed on the screen in a similar style to visual novels from the game.
Furthermore, the disk has a PDF file with all of the recital drama scripts which can be also viewed from the disk menu.
Square Enix opened pre-orders for the international release (though E-Store sells it as an import item.) featuring English and Chinese subtitles in September.
International BD release recital drama English translation is not very accurate and its overall quality makes it not worth looking at let alone buying if you already have the original Japanese disk. Here is a gallery of some of the quirks
Blu-Ray disk was released September 20, 2017, and topped Oricon Weekly Overall Blu-ray Charts.[1]
