Okay, I always kind of figured there’d probably be some sort of “best of
K-ON!” album or something released at the end of the franchise’s run, but I
never expected they’d release a 12 disc box set containing a whopping 258
tracks, which is what the official site announced today.
“K-ON! MUSIC HISTORY'S BOX” will be released on March 20th, featuring the OST and opening/ending/insert
songs from both TV seasons as well as the movie, plus character songs as well
as – for the first time on CD – the versions from the “K-ON! Ho-kago Live!!” PSP/PS3 game.
Not included in the release are tracks from the Band Score CDs, the Radion! shows,
or any of the instrumentals. Nevertheless, it seems this box set will cover the
basics and then some, and at the relatively tolerable price tag of 19,800 yen
it sounds like quite a good deal for any fan who has yet to break their wallet collecting
every K-ON! CD in existence like a
sucker (unlike me, who will of course happily throw money at this release
regardless).
Thanks ultimatemegax for the heads-up.
I don't think I'll be able to pass this one up, either. :-)
ReplyDeleteAny suggestions on where might be the best place (for someone in the U.S.) to preorder this from?
I don't live in the U.S., so I suppose I can't really help you there. Don't know enough about how importing works there, I'm afraid. To be honest, I haven't decided yet where I'm going to preorder this from myself.
DeleteI can't find anywhere where it is currently under $200. That means that you will probably have to pay customs fees. Not sure how much they are since I've always managed to stay below that. Currently it looks as if Amazon.co.jp is the best place to order, but I'm waiting to see if the price drops anywhere else.
DeleteAmazon is probably the way to go. Right now, I'm leaning towards ordering it from them.
