Any idea if the discs will be available on their own too? I'd like to get Rice Music but don't really want to pay out for a import box set just to get it.

The box set will retail for something like $150 IIRC.
I have the Rice Music cd but ain't selling it (for now)!

No mention of whether it will be remastered but I hope so. Rice Music sounded horribly "crammed" on CD before.

Any recommendations on where to buy this?

Great News! Now if Masami Tsuchiya would get a box set out I'd be even more happier.

With this box set, the September Song cd, and the Japan re-issues, what else would there be?

HMV Japan has it available for pre-order.

Good news and bad news...

HMV JP charged my bank account today and sent me an email saying that the box set had been sent.

It is completely sold out!

[yipyipcoyote]

Sorry to hear that. 12,000 yen is a lot of $$$.

On the bright side, that the box is sold out on pre-order means that there is a good chance of the discs getting released separately. Of course, the DVD would be exclusive to the box.
