They're releasing a limited number of Hatsukoi on vinyl.

This is what I've been asking for! Maybe they'll go back and do the last 3 album as well. I need them.

We are also pleased to announce the release of individually numbered, limited edition vinyl editions for album "Hatsukoi." It's what a lot of fans were waiting for, and we're very happy to be able to bring it to you!! The release date will be Wednesday, November 7, coinciding with her first concert tour in 12 years (the product actually arrives in stores the day before, i.e.-November 6, and usually available as it arrives, thus making it available on the actual first day of the tour). A vinyl edition of her album hasn't been released since her third album "DEEP RIVER" in 2002. Chris Bellman of Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood worked on the vinyl master, and comes highly recommended by mastering engineer Bob Ludwig, who worked on the CD. It will be a 2 LP set where you can savor all the deliciousness of the vinyl format including its luscious sonic textures. Each album jacket is individually numbered and the booklet is, of course, vinyl size. It's definitely a collector's piece and only available as a limited edition, so please be sure to pre-order!!
