To preface my questions, I used to be a big collector of physical media for decades but I sold 95% of all my collectibles this summer as part of an attempt to downsize and move into the country to start a simpler life. I didn't just suddenly stop wanting to listen to animé themes, however, and as such I've moved towards supporting artists directly by purchasing their official digital releases.
One snag I've run into a lot lately is a struggle to find official releases of animé OPs and EDs and everything in between. It's not limited to older CDs, because even when I find an OP or ED I like for a show currently being broadcast I hit the old "this song is not available to be purchased in your country" road block. It's frustrating because I genuinely want to support this stuff without the burden of the physical media.
And now onto my questions:
1) Does anyone know how to officially purchase the digital releases of 'Jaka Jaan' and 'Nakama' from Daima? I really, really want them.
2) Does anyone have any leads on dependable, official resources to legally purchase animé music mp3s/[insert-filetype-here]? It's been a bit of a struggle even finding songs that are released by the JPop artists or bands that aren't region locked. How is this still a problem in 2024? (You don't have to answer that last question. I know why it's still a problem, I just don't like it. I hate the idea of begging someone to take my money.)
Thank you!

Re: Daima Soundtrack + Other Digital Releases
1) Do you use either Spotify or Apple Music (or both)? I don't use either of them but those are where you can legally listen to "Jaka Jaan" and "NAKAMA" if you have a subscription for either service. But right now, full versions of those songs are yet to be released.PeteyVX wrote: ↑Mon Oct 21, 2024 7:14 pm To preface my questions, I used to be a big collector of physical media for decades but I sold 95% of all my collectibles this summer as part of an attempt to downsize and move into the country to start a simpler life.

2) Not really; therefore, I don't have a clear answer for this.

Wait till they get released, but it depends on the label and whether or not they'll put it on a purchase (not streaming) service like Mora, OTOTOY, etc (and also if they set a region lock to it or not).
All you'll find is what's available, and a lot of times digital can tend to offer a lot less than physical editions. Along with the fact that it's usually the more recent material that gets put up for streaming, and even less for direct purchase (this seems to be changing slowly however). As far as DB media is concerned though, availability is rather spotty (although the newer it is, the better the chances of having something up).
Re: Daima Soundtrack + Other Digital Releases
Thanks to both for your replies. I was unaware of whether or not the full songs had been released, but I'm glad I asked cause now I know that they haven't. Regarding the streaming services, I appreciate the suggestions. I don't use any of them either. Not the biggest fan of them, but it's starting to look like it may be the only option for consistent access to animé music.

Re: Daima Soundtrack + Other Digital Releases
I don't use any streams for music, so I get your pain.
And I don't think I will. Although recently my samsung cellphone refused to play MP3s without connection to the internet. I do hiking at places without WIFI and even without cellphone signal, that is WHY I was using an MP3 pre downloaded file... the times we live in...
You could buy the CD soundtrack online. I have not done it myself, but I know that buying and importing collectables like small figurines and 1:64 cars is cheap since a couple of years ago. Maybe you can look up youtubers that can recommend a trusted website for it.
Just listening to the music from a device exclusively for playing a video of the opening and ending music while you do something else or use another device might be another idea you can try.
