Jaka Jaan feat. C&K / NAKAMA feat. AIZeddGreat Dragon Ball single
This is a great single for those that like Dragon Ball Diama or like to collect singles. The sound quality is crystal clear and the packaging is quite attractive. Considering it only runs for about 15 minutes, the CD is somewhat expensive, but in the end, this is something only collectors would buy. If you really like the opening and ending songs, I highly recommend this CD.

Musical "Touken Ranbu" - Tokyo Kokorooboe - [Limited Edition / Type B]Touken Danshi formation of KokorooboeMy favourite musical
This musical part is one of my faovurites - without doubts. And Mikazuki Munechika isn't even in this play. However the CD consists as always of two studio versions of the musical part and the mini concert. Additionally there is the live-recording for the mini concert and this is what I usually go for. Also this musical was held during Covid restrictions, so there are unfortunately not many reactions from the audience. Well, nevertheless Toukyou Kokoro Oboe has a bunch of great and talented singers and actors and whole list of great songs. I can only recommend you to get one of these if you ever get the chance.

Musical "Touken Ranbu" - Shizuka no Umi no Paraiso - [Limited Edition / Type B]Touken Danshi formation of ParaisoAll the songs are great
The B-version of the album consists of the studio versions with auto-tune editions of the Musical part and mini-concert and an extra CD with the live recording of the concert. I chose this version over the live musical recording, since I love to compare the concert parts with the studio versions. Unfortunately this was still in the Covid times, which means there was not really a lot interactions with the audience. Nontheless the live part was just as exciting as the entire Shizuka no Umi no Paraiso. I think it's one of the strongest musical parts in TouMyu.

"Touken Ranbu" Musical Tsurumaru Kuninaga, Ohkurikara, Soki Shutsujin - Shunpu Tori no Sakazuki - [3CD + DVD / Limited Edition / Type B]Touken Danshi Kuninaga Tsurumaru Kara OkuriSplendid amount of goods!
I love this version of the CDs a lot!! As I said, I'm a huge fan of the entire musical especially when I think about the amount of songs and the huge singing talents here. I went for the B-version to get the live voices in the mini-concert. None of the actors need the auto-tune, actually, but to have the possibility to compare the two versions is great. The best bonus is of course the DVD with the music videos of both main characters' image songs.

"Touken Ranbu" (Musical) Muramasa Sengo Tonbogiri Soki Shutsujin -Yorozu no Hana Utsusu Kagami- [3CD + DVD / Limited Edition / Type B]
Touken Danshi Muramasa Sengo Tonbokiri"Touken Ranbu" (Musical) Muramasa Sengo Tonbogiri Soki Shutsujin -Yorozu no Hana Utsusu Kagami- [3CD + DVD / Limited Edition / Type B]Touken Danshi Muramasa Sengo TonbokiriGreat soundtrackI always struggle with choosing which version to take, but I mostly go with the concert-live version like this. While the studio records are wonderful additions, I really love the natural unedited voices by the actors. Especially when everyone is such a good singer! I can recommend this CD since you can enjoy the mini concert from the live record as well as the studio one.

Musical "Touken Ranbu" Tsurumaru Kuninaga Okurikara Soki Shutsujin - Shunpu Torishi -MusicalDate Masamune's most important events
I think this expedition mission of Tsurumaru and Ookurikara is one of the best expeditions so far. The story spans over several years and shows all the major events in Date Masamune's life. The play is very varied with both humour and serious scenes. The singing is superb, although I think that Tsurumaru has far more singing lines than Ookurikara, which might come with a kind of imbalance. The story is also set after Shizuka no Umi no Paraiso, but shows also how Ookurikara first manifested and how Tsurumaru trained him. Really exciting to watch, I can only recommend!

"Touken Ranbu" (Musical) Muramasa Sengo Tonbogiri Soki Shutsujin -Yorozu no Hana Utsusu Kagami-Musical "Touken Ranbu"A creative turn on events
The Sengo Muramasa & Tonbokiri expedition mission is more of a retelling on how Sengo Muramasa turned into the bewitched sword. The whole setting is also very aestetically pleasing, a little bit bizzare and confusion, but everything adds up into a very mystic atmosphere which I really enjoyed. Both Ota Motohiro's and Spi's singing is first class. The track list though is very slow and toned down, almost melancholic and dark. Another downside, I think is that the play only lasts for 1,5 hours, excluding the short mini concert at the end. This is pretty short compared to other expedition missions like the one with Tsurumaru and Ookurikara. However, since there aren't any historical figures, I think it had be short enough to not exhaust the actors. However, it's pretty sad that it's so short although the pricing is the regular TouMyu-DVD.

SK8 EXTRA PART (OVA) [Limited Release]AnimationFun!
What a wonderful OVA! The quality of animation, writing, performance...every aspect, really, of these three (four?) short stories hardly felt like a mere 24 minutes. I was transported straight back to the fun and joy of the original series; I could watch this over and over again. Staff commentary also came as a welcome delight. An extra part definitely worthy of one's time, methinks.

I’ve been waiting for this vinyl to release ever since the season ended and I was not disappointed in the slightest.

It arrived promptly and was delivered with care. I can’t wait for the next one to be available for pre-order!!! I will be patiently, but eagerly waiting :)
