Their fanclub got rebranded with a new name and is going to keep working for one extra year.

Fans are heavily speculating about future activities and a potential new song (?!?!?!?)

Edit: extra details about the best album

This special package box includes a 3-CD best-of album featuring 38 remastered tracks selected by Kirito himself, a DVD of the “PIERROT FILM GIG 2014 -Dictators’ history- Type A” screening held in 2014, and two pieces of merchandise.

“PARADOX” – Into Pandora’s Box –

Price: ¥24,800 (tax included)

Sales Method: Pre-order (that means there’s not a regular order period?)

First Pre-order Period: April 28, 2026 (Tuesday) 13:00 – June 11, 2026 (Wednesday) 23:59

*Details to be announced later

That’s a lot of songs, I wonder if they will actually sound better

They already had amazing production work for most songs. It feels like a way to take money from fans, which is understandable..

i never was a fan of remastering just because i don’t want a shiny version of something i spent so many years loving but it’ll be nice to hear them again!

Their major works are very nice. But some old ones like PARADOX was only a single release never included in a regular album (and maybe the singles collection?). I believe it should be nice to have it with some retouching.

Is surely a release to milk money from fans, but the tracklist does have surprises like the absence of SEPIA. Is not a “let’s take the best selling songs and throw it to fans” situation, Kirito Is doing the bare minimum and putting the focus on certain songs. What I can say is the contents that are selling this and everyone is hyping is the DVD, is a rare footage that fans thought will be never released. So in my perspective is a bit overpriced thing? I think yes by now (let’s see what are the merch they are including) but have some valuable content as well.

I’m highly considering reserving my copy.

Paradox was on the Singles collection and was a hidden track on HEAVEN The Customized Landscape. This is an excuse to upcharge a live DVD by attaching an unnecessary best-of to it, pretty standard practice.

Noooo, where is SEPIA, Tomei Yue Ningen Nari and Labyrinth??

You know its a cash grab when a DVD is included instead of a blu-ray :rofl:
