She said that she already had ideas for the soundtrack because she had read the book before she was approached by Ms.Ninagawa . Because Sakuran deals with historical japanese motifs/themes and stuff, and Ringo has flirted with those in the past, I bet whatever Ringo was cooking up would have been very interesting indeed. Was there anything classically Japanese about Tamatebako? I haven't heard it in a while...
And Orenji, it was the quick-fire Sanmon Gossip interview, that I do think papilionidae translated:
Question #5
Q: You've recently worked as a Music Director on the movie "Sakuran", which granted a Japanese Academy Music Award and Excellence Award. Do you plan to work as a Music Director again?
A: Yes, I'll do it.

I wouldn't take this as confirmation though
(Still, there's no proof that Ringo would decline to do an OST on the basis that she's already done it once.)
