Just got this outside my front door yesterday. Rina Katahira CDs.
"Kono Namida wo Shiranai" single released in January. Delayed delivery until February because it is being released a bit too close to the eventual new album that officially released last week.
"Saikou no Shuichi" single. Picked the limited edition because, well, it has everything. CD-only version has just the CD with all the songs, but the limited edition has a DVD and a bonus CD as well.
A guitar pick is included as first press bonus (yes, I pre-ordered it as soon as possible), as well as a wall calendar (not shown).
Both the single (limited pressing, and it's already out of print) and the album (limited edition) were in digipaks. They're elegant in the presentation, but at the same time it can be a pain when trying to store the CDs, so I had to use zip-lock bags to protect them. (It was the case for a couple of Yanawaraba CDs as well when I ordered old Yanawaraba releases back in 2014.)
Rina Katahira's new album got #8 on the weekly Oricon charts. Congrats Katarina on her first top ten release! Maybe someday she's going to rise up to top five?
Anyways, can't wait to hear the new CD(s) for the first time sometime this weekend. Have been a bit too busy trying to catch up some videos recently after my week in school was done...
