This release is a single LP pressed on a 140gm translucent light blue disc, a color that could be called Aqua.

Speaking of, five different versions of "Idol" are included on this LP, with three versions of "Tabun" as well. By far, this is the ultimate collector's item for any fan of YOASOBI or Oshi no Ko. "Idol" was a massive hit on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 for 22 consecutive weeks, and it's no wonder with how popular this series is.

The manga first began in April 2020, and the first anime season released in April 2023. The anime is produced by studio Doga Kobo, with a second season now currently airing.
