"1978" will be reissued as vinyl disc in September, and Hikashu plans to make the band's concert in the same month a commemorating event for the release. All the ex-members who participated in the album will appear as guests at the concert. The LP will also be sold in advance at the venue.
The "1978" album is a collection of Hikashu's early 4-track demo recordings and originally released in 1996. This is the second time this album has been reissued, but this marks the first time it has been reissued on LP. This vinyl edition includes three previously unreleased take as bonus tracks, among them "Confusion" — an alternate version of which appeared on a fan-club-exclusive flexi-disc.
