I doubt the soundtrack will be available as files. That would be awesome, but you can already see in screenshots that there's going to be a program to play the music from.

They probably package it like that because Japanese companies are terrified of piracy, but it makes owning the soundtrack pointless if I can only listen to it in-game.

So don't worry if you miss out on it, it's probably not worth having to begin with. There will likely be uploads of the new songs on youtube and maybe even as a real soundtrack release.

Steam usually has soundtrack as separate download playable via their player.

Hoping this ends up being the case, but I'm not expecting it. I've come across several games from Japanese developers that encrypt all the files and force you to use a separate program to listen to the music. Unfortunately, you can already see that the bonus content acts as a "game" in your library, and the store page screenshots show a program to play the music.
