I’ll be honest with you guys. I didn’t think this day was ever going to come.
Thankfully I can now say I was mistaken.
this is definitely a wooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!
That it is! Something tells me this might be the best news I ever report on the site. 😛
W.O.W!! To be honest I had some doubt that the song would be performed by the real band, because the last time they made something out of Kaikan Phrase (the NDS game), they had the seiyuu doing the singing. But this report says it’s going to be Λucifer’s new song, that would be awesome!! Even if it just one song!!
Yeah. The tunes on the DS game and its soundtrack, those don’t have anything to do with the (real life) Aucifer we know.
Waaaaa I also read about this on mayu’s website.
Just wondering, if any of you will be getting it??
I want it really. but don’t know if this will be available for overseas fans. T__T
Any ideas of how can I order it??
Hey Taka-SUkunami and thanks for the comment!
If you live outside of Japan (and don’t have helpful friends who live in Japan), ordering a copy for yourself can be a bit tricky, but still quite doable. It’ll cost you a bit more than usually ordering a CD through, for example, CDJapan or such. (Unfortunately it doesn’t look like it’ll be available there)
Here’s one store that’s selling it. The part that makes it tricky is that online stores in Japan are often unwilling to mail directly outside of Japan. So, you need to use a “forwarding service” — the store sends it to the forwarding service and they send it to you. One such service I know of is Tenso. Read more about their service on Tofugu. If you want to calculate approximately how much it’d cost to order the CD to your country with Tenso, you can do a rough calculation here. I’ve personally not used Tenso and with Googling, there’s a chance you might find a service even cheaper than them that will do the job. However, Tenso does seem pretty trustworthy to me.
I actually still haven’t decided whether to get one for myself or not… we’ll see. In any case, good luck! I’m sure you’ll be able to get yours if you look into it a bit. 🙂
Release delayed for a month. New release date is November 23rd.
