Where to purchase Makoto Nagano's solo debut CD?

[shadowlink11]

Grand Champion Makoto Nagano is one of my top heroes of sports, and I have been meaning to purchase his debut CD because I am Ninja Warrior fan, guitarist, and musician myself.

All I could find was 4 mp3s on Amazon, but I want to import and buy the actual physical CD, I don't want to pay for digital.

I have an account at cdjapan.co.jp but they didn't seem to have it in stock, which really surprised me...

the album was only released early summer 2011, it can't be that hard to find?

if anyone on the internet should know, it should be this place.

I could be wrong(only acting as a Arsenette filler, here), but I think those 4 tracks are all that's on the CD, it's a single, pretty much.

Yeah, it's Nagano's song and a company song that he sings. There's the full version and karaoke version (instrumental) of each. So, yeah, it's only four tracks.

Yeah it was always meant to be a digital copy sadly. It started off with one song then they added the Takasui corporate song when it came to release last year.

So yes only digital is the way to get the single(s). Personally I like the original one he wrote since the Takasui one is just to jingly for me..

So it's 2 songs with karaoke tracks for each.

oh that is sad. I am big into supporting physical tangible versions of music/games/movies/etc over digital ones, and never buy digital unless it is the only available method. It would have been awesome to buy Nagano's music in CD form and maybe sent in the jacket for a autograph, heh.

Well I still want to support him, he is one of my top 5 sports heroes along with floyd mayweather, lyoto machida, fedor emelianenko, and roger federer,

I guess I will just grab the digital copy on amazon.


Is there any word on his future music projects or playing any shows in between his Ninja Warrior training/competition and fishing?

I'm sure if you sent a copy he'd sign it for ya especially if it's in a stamped self addressed so the office doesn't have to work hard in figuring out how to mail it back.

Yes I agree that it's disappointing to have it on digital format only. Costs of that is really low by comparison to an actual copy since there's no overhead. He always figured that he'd get more international sales than domestic so it makes sense to do it that way. Also given the niche market he's trying to hit he doesn't have to hit a certain number on sales. You can tell he did it as a passion and not as a money maker.

For now I haven't heard of any other projects. If I do I'll post them Same for others if they hear about it.

Wow. I must know, though, is he any good?
