Music from AIR and Feel The Magic XX♥XY up for vinyl preorder via Disk Union labels

Ookami Koubou are reissuing the Analog Collector’s Edition 12″ for the visual novel AIR on vinyl for the first time since it’s original limited 2006 release, and Cassetron are releasing the single “I Will Die For You” from the DS game Feel The Magic XX♥XY.

AIR will be a 12″ on black vinyl, which differs from its original pressing, which was a picture disc. It will be housed in a single-pocket jacket with game art. It will include an obi and also come with a slipmat featuring the jacket.

“I Will Die For You” will be a 7″ single on black vinyl. There are currently no details on the packaging for this title.

AIR is priced at ¥7700 and is scheduled to release on December 25, 2024, and “I Will Die For You” is priced at ¥2750 and is scheduled to release on December 4, 2024.

AIR can be preordered via Disk Union here, and also via Very Ok Vinyl in Canada here.

The “I Will Die For You” 7″ can be preordered via Disk Union here.

It is likely that additional distributors will be carrying both of these at a later time, but I have not seen it announced elsewhere yet.
