There are three physical editions.

Stores, campaigns and events
Retailers offer separate bonuses, including a paid acrylic diorama at the NIJISANJI Official Store, an aurora sticker set and A3 clear poster at Animate, a clear card at Tower Records, an acrylic keychain at Rakuten Books, a mega jacket at Amazon.co.jp and a square badge at Sony Music Shop. The free bonus at the NIJISANJI Official Store has ended. Two download campaigns offer a limited wallpaper in return for adding tracks to a streaming library or for submitting a screenshot of a purchase. An Animate talk event is planned for February 27, 2027 in Tokyo, with entrants chosen by lottery.
What it means for overseas viewers
The album can be heard on streaming services through the link ANYCOLOR provided, and the music video for the lead song is on YouTube. The physical editions and store bonuses are sold through Japanese retailers, and the release does not say which of them ship abroad, so overseas buyers should check each shop. The serial-code lottery for the January 24 live is tied to first-press physical copies only, which matters for fans who plan to travel. 18:00 JST on January 24 corresponds to 09:00 UTC, or 01:00 Pacific Time on the same day.
