Prices
The Regular Edition album with the two CDs costs ￥2,800 JPY (about $28 USD) after tax on most websites, and the Limited Edition version with the two CDs and the DVD is ￥3,900 (about $39 USD) after tax. Even the Limited Edition’s price is a nod to Miku, as 39 is considered her number.

Pre-order Bonuses
While the album itself doesn’t automatically come with bonuses, there are pre-order bonuses for certain websites! Most of the websites are in Japanese, but there are some that cater to the international audience as well.
Amazon Japan
Amazon Japan orders are open to the international audience. Their pre-order bonus is a bromide (a postcard-sized picture) featuring artwork of “Watashi to Juliet”. If you’d like English, simply click on the little globe on either of the pre-order pages and change the language to English. It’s also available in Chinese.

Animate
Animate’s bonus is a 56 mm can badge also featuring artwork of “Watashi to Juliet”. The website is only available in Japanese due to the English website shutting down in February 2016. In addition, it appears Animate only ships inside of Japan.

TSUTAYA
It appears that the bonus for TSUTAYA is a signed postcard. However, details haven’t been finalized, so there’s no preview. As soon as everything has been finalized, the website will update with more information. We’ll be sure to update as soon as more information is revealed.
In addition, it appears this may be a prize only for those who purchase the album in a physical store. Doriko’s website links to a store locator for TSUTAYA. However, this hasn’t been confirmed yet.
As Miku’s birthday approaches, we’ll likely start seeing a lot of Miku albums and even more Miku news. Be sure to watch us and Mikufan so that you can stay up-to-date on her 9th anniversary celebrations!
