All the music is created digitally now and putting it on an analogue format like vinyl wouldn't be best for sound quality.
But I still want Ayu on vinyl to add to the collection.
I think they would only start doing it regularly if vinyl sales start rising like in the west. I'm not sure how interested Japan is in vinyl.
You're trying to explain how vinyl works to the wrong person, haha.

Yeah, it really boils down to what vinyl sales are like in Japan... Also, wondering if the reopening of Sony's pressing plant in Tokyo after 28 years will impact the idea of releasing more vinyl in Japan... I know all of perfume's work including newer releases are being pressed on vinyl now due to the demand for vinyl. Just hope everyone jumps on the bandwagon and they start doing something like an "anniversary" type release... That always seems to be a good reason for the US to reissue albums on vinyl.

Here's hoping in the future it will become a thing
