The EP arrives in digital form only after the planned CD bundle tied to an original anime project was canceled due to production delays at the external production company.
Reporting from 1 source: PANORA.
Midnight Grand Orchestra, the unit formed by Hoshimachi Suisei and TAKU INOUE, released its first EP Travelogue I on August 19. The four-track release includes Hyper Vip, Nonsense, Flash, and 404, and adds strings such as violin, viola, and cello to the unit's club sound. The EP was originally planned as a limited first edition CD bundled with soundtrack music for an original anime project, but production problems at the external production company made the release timing uncertain, so the CD sales were canceled. Streaming and download distribution proceed as planned.
The unit's first EP drops with a fuller arrangement than its previous club-oriented work. Strings played by CHICA, Aiko Hosokawa, and Takahiro Yuuki appear across all four tracks, with brass and guitar layered in on Hyper Vip and Nonsense.
Travelogue I was meant to ship as a limited first edition CD carrying soundtrack music for an original anime planned by an external production company. The company hit problems in the production of the main animation footage, leaving the release timing uncertain. The CD editions, including the regular edition and DELUXE SET, were canceled, while the digital release went ahead on schedule.
- Hyper Vip: includes trumpet, trombone, and saxophone
- Nonsense: features guitar by Ichika Nito and TAKU INOUE
- Flash: includes drums by Maoki Yamamoto and BOBO
- 404: strings only, no rhythm section
