KECH-1036: Daikoukai Jidai II

[Jodo Kast]

This is much harder to acquire than the Special Edition and I've only seen a few listings on Yahoo Japan in all my years of random browsing. Surprisingly, I only paid 2329 yen for this. The seller had even more obscure Koei albums listed at the same time and they attracted more attention (they were the Winning Post albums).

This is also my very first mutant vgm album. When I took apart the jewel case to get the back for scanning, 2 back pieces were stuck together; both identical.

It certainly seems be quite hard to find - well I guess most of these Koei albums are. Your copy seems to be in great shape too, definitely a nice find. I went ahead and revised the tracklist as well as the notes field.

Japanese speaking sellers must use words similar to "beautiful" or "pretty" to indicate a CD is mint. Google often translates an item's condition in auctions or marketplaces as a "beauty item" if it's mint. The Uncharted Waters II I found is a beauty item, for sure. I didn't expect to end up owning this album since I placed a bid of only 5,000 yen. While it's easier to obtain the Special Edition, I much prefer this printing because it's elusive. I enjoy looking for albums like this.

For those that haven't heard this, owning it is as important as owning Dracula Battle. The similarity is not in the music but in the fact that it's far above average.

It appears the musician list leaves out the violin player on track 1, which is most likely Toshihiro Nakanishi, a session player on other KOEI albums including Daikoukai Jidai I.
