Just 4 new songs when they haven't released an album in 8 years?

[Johnny]

Is it ok if i post another article about the album.
https://otomo.net/contents/1024330?locale=en
I dunno wish there were more new songs.

[Jei]

Placed big updates to the first part of the post...you'll have a lot of ways to get this music

[nogizaka]

First, Johnny thank-you for posting the article. I get where they are going with this; I just hope that this is a better concept album than 'The Dream Quest' was. Making an album to support a tour (rather than the other way around) makes me nervous as to its content. The concept also puts a lot of weight on the four new songs, which don't appear to be completed yet. That said, I would prefer four great new songs to a bunch of okay songs.

Are there really no (LEGAL) download versions of the album? I'm trying to cut down on physical media but I can't stand over compressed streaming audio. I tried looking. The closest I got is that the "listen online" page has iTunes Store as an option, but the album is not actually available there (plus it'd probably be 256k AAC which is still lossy compression). None of the lossless streaming services (Qobuz/Tidal/Deezer) seem to have it either. Did I miss a link somewhere?

Hey JLick!

The special charm available in the special CD sets lets you listen via the NeSTREAM LIVE app.
Just tap it on your phone and it'll get things started.
(Worked for me...and there is a listen offline option which looks to download the music (you still play them through the app))

[Jei]

Did a quick check (not full listen...yet) on the concerts available in Black Album Box Sets:

1) Hawaii Live Edition concert

I regretted not finding a way to see this when it happened, and now I feel doubly so.
Definitely a lot of fun for any diehard DCT fans (and there were plenty there)

2) Premium Acoustic-Mi Live Show

I need more of this...delightful (mostly) acoustic versions of so many

3) Okinawa Dream Sessions 2022

Cool intimate (as intimate as a larger venue can get) concert sessions
(Even had someone come out playing a shamisen!)
