I bought the DVD in Japan ages ago, I should have remembered this haha. ^_^;;

It's quite possible that it is because of this. Thanks. ^_^

It's going to be released 5 days after my birthday! I am going to look up buying a multi regional bluray player because Maaya seems to release all her special editions on bluray now.

Well, the truth is, most Blu-rays - including pretty much all Japanese music Blu-rays - don't have region codes, the ones that do are a handful of feature film movies...

[Earth_maiden]

^really? My understanding was Japan was region A and I am region B here in Australia. I only have an Aussie ps4 though and that won't play blurays outside region B.

Maaya Sakamoto to release new single "Dokuhaku <-> Yakudo"! The title song is featured as a theme song for the "Movie Fate/Grand Order Wandering; Agateram.
