These vinyl re-releases, announced by Shueisha as well as Columbia and Lawson by way of retailer HMV, come in conjunction with the Dragon Ball television series’ 35th anniversary this year, as well as the 7th anniversary of the opening of the HMV record shop Shibuya. Direct orders are currently only available through HMV in Japan.
