Interestingly, the set will include an audio CD called The Nine Shot which features the cast from the show. But what's actually on the CD wasn't revealed.
What was revealed however was the price and release date: with an MSRB of a whopping 21,384 yen. Coming out September 13 2017.
Those Japanese Bluray prices man... I'm interested in hearing what's on that audio CD though.
I so hope this is the next power rangers.
So 12 episodes out of how many? For that much?
God damn.
Jokes aside though, one of the reasons seems to be because media in Japan is set up to be dependent on the revenue from personal media copies since the way they set up payment structures with TV airing and theater screenings(but mostly TV airing) is not enough to make back what they invested to create said media work. And there is probably also the assumption that has been true somewhat of "the loyal hardcore fans will support us probably".
I still laugh at people surprised at the price. That is actually cheaper than what they used to be. My Gokaiger discs were 9800Y each and they only had 4 episodes on each disc. That's 29,400Y for 12 episodes, so the cost of Kyuuranger is a steal.
It's just a shame that Kyuuranger is not worth buying.
Don't forget that DVDs and BDs are more for collectors there rather than the general public as the general public prefers to rent and nothing else. Plus, not many people have room for video collections sadly. Japan still thinks this is 1920 when it comes to life styles.
I'm not surprised by the Bluray prices actually. I remember reading a blog post a while back that went into detail about why DVD prices are so high in Japan compared to just about everywhere else. I was planning on making a joke about the prices but I must have forgotten.
Why are the Japanese BluRay prices so high? I am curious....really curious for the reason.
