The album is housed in a 5 1/2‘ x 5 1/2’ x 5 1/2‘ x 1/2’ hinged lid box, inside of which are a mini envelope-like envelope to the record, a full colour CD insert and a booklet with lyrics in English and Japanese. The obi accompanying the album is a complete reissue of what was on the Japanese LP of the first edition.
SHM-SACD (Super High Material SACD) is a perfect Super Audio CD that uses materials and technologies specifically developed for SHM-CDs to further enhance sound resolution. These discs are manufactured using polycarbonate, which is designed for liquid crystal display screens. Because it has increased transparency, players can read the signal more accurately. It is also more fusible, allowing for more accurate playback. What works wonders with a low-resolution format such as CD should yield even greater sonic improvements in a true high-resolution format such as SACD.
This single-layer SHM-SACD can only be played on a Super Audio CD player! It will NOT play on conventional CD players!
