Shouldn't the price be 16200 yen? The site says "¥15,000（+tax）". Is there any information regarding whether this will be out of print as soon as the release day comes, or will this be available for sale for a long time after as well? I noticed that the Amazon listing states that it's currently unavailable.

Agreed, thanks for the call-out. As for your second q, I haven't come across any info regarding print run. It's still available on beep and sega's ebten site. I ordered it from ebten just to be safe. I don't believe it was ever "available" on Amazon's page, so they probably put a placeholder item up and will update stock closer to release or once it releases (I've seen them do this before).

Some other WM releases are 4 CDs @5000 yen (joe musashi, fantasy zone), this one is 5 CDs and 1 DVD @16000. unless I'm missing something, it seems like a lot of money. outrun was 11 CDs @13000

Possibly UHQCDs are just costlier than normal CDs? I noticed a couple other UHQCD compilation albums that seem pricy [1] [2]

I just learned about this format right now though lmao

[Phonograph]

no, because other manufacturers sell UHQCD at a cheaper price, example: https://www.ponycanyon.co.jp/music/PCCA000050242
edit: or https://vgmdb.net/album/82563 (if UHQCD was really expensive, its price will be close to 5500 yens)

[LuxKiller65]

Yeah they're just pricing this at a "collector" and/or "connoisseur" price because why not. I'm certainly not buying it at this price. Could at least have come with a keyring or some other token of appreciation for spending all that money.

[NightsB]

Can we get this linked to the proper label page? https://vgmdb.net/org/1169. Not sure how to do it myself.

[BoneSatyr]

I will not be scanning this booklet due to it being glued at the spine, I have however taken some photos of the credits and band compositions. It's pretty hard to get good pictures with the flash on, and it's too dark here to go without it.

Thanks for the photos, these are good enough!

The credits reveal M.A/Bluetz Lee's name is 青木実, which is very probably read Minoru Aoki
