NEW ALBUM "I vs I" is set to be released on Wednesday, July 26th!
"I vs I," (read: "I versus I"), is their first original album in about three years. It is set to go on sale from Wednesday, July 26th!
The theme of this work are fights, as in the words of the album title, "I vs I." The album includes Wagakki Band's honest thoughts about fights against themselves opposite their music, fights against the environment that surrounds their rivals and themselves, and their having fought to bring their sound to the world during the nine years since their major debut.
There are 4 types of products.
The Vocalo Zanmai 2, First Limited Grand Concert Edition, comes with a Blu-ray that is a complete recording of a live video of their Nakano Sunplaza Hall performance of "Vocalo Zanmai 2: Grand Concert," a concert which was held in 23 cities across the country since last August.
The First Limited vs Edition comes with a mini towel that uses a collaborative Baki Hanma logo, an acrylic key chain, and two types of stickers (one type has a collaborative Baki Hanma logo; the other type has an album logo).
The CD Only Edition includes, only on this CD, all the songs' instrumental versions (included on one CD disc).
*A different version of a trading card is enclosed with each first time pressing of a product type. (For each product type, 1 out of 9 variations will be randomly enclosed)
Moreover, the fan-club-only Shin Yaeryu Edition is a super-extravagant edition that comes with the three product types mentioned above plus a DVD that includes separate interviews with the members and a behind-the-scenes look at filming the artwork!
*The Shin Yaeryu Edition is a made-to-order completely limited edition.
