Music Collection, Promotional Video and Jacket
The First Disc Collects 13 Songs From the Characters' Journey
The most immediately recognizable part of the package is CD1, which gathers 13 vocal tracks tied to musical moments throughout the anime.
The lineup includes Yumeoi Hakusho, Suki!!, Mabataku Hibi e, Grayscale o Nozomu, ask for the moon, Half & Half, Inochi wa Shodo de Naru and trails. This makes the collection more than a conventional instrumental soundtrack, preserving many of Season 1's character and insert songs in one physical release.
For viewers who followed Rikka's pursuit of music and the wider broadcasting club's voice-related ambitions, the disc effectively collects much of the anime's central vocal material.
Yonagi Is Included in Three Different Versions
One of the collection's biggest focal points is Yonagi (夜凪). The album includes an Aiko Version, Rikka Version and Special Version.
That gives the song significantly more space than a single standard recording. The Aiko and Rikka performances connect directly to the characters established in the anime, while the Special Version is one of the tracks specifically highlighted again in the September 2 promotion.
The new video also returns to scenes from the anime, reinforcing the story context surrounding the songs before the physical release arrives.
Bus ja Tsuki ni Ikenakute Also Gets an Arisu Version
Bus ja Tsuki ni Ikenakute (バスじゃ月にいけなくて) appears twice on the first disc.
Alongside the standard version, the Music Collection includes an Arisu Version, giving protagonist Arisu Yamabuki his own vocal variation within the album. That version had already been confirmed when the collection was initially announced in July.
Together with the three versions of Yonagi, the album is not simply reproducing one version of every song, but also preserving character-specific variations.
Two More Discs Are Dedicated to the Anime Soundtrack
After the 13 vocal tracks on the first disc, CD2 and CD3 contain music from the Tune In to the Midnight Heart TV anime soundtrack.
The series' score is handled by Kuniyuki Takahashi of MONACA, with MONACA responsible for music production. Across Season 1, the score supports the romantic comedy, broadcasting club activities, character training, and Arisu's search for Apollo.
The official product page does not currently provide the individual track count for those two soundtrack discs, so the confirmed information remains that CD2 and CD3 contain the TV anime soundtrack without assigning an unsupported total number of cues.
Six Retailers Offer Different Purchase Bonuses
The official product page has detailed a separate bonus lineup for major Japanese retailers.
Amazon.co.jp offers a Mega Jacket, Animate has an L-size bromide, Tower Records provides a release commemorative replica ticket, and Sofmap / Animega offers an acrylic coaster.
Gamers includes four can badges and one L-size bromide, with acrylic key holders available as paid bonuses for an additional ¥990 each. Rakuten Books offers a clear pouch.
All retailer bonuses are limited and may end once each store's allocation is exhausted.
Two Release Events Follow the Album Launch
The Music Collection also serves as the qualifying product for two release events at animate hall BLACK on the ninth floor of Animate Ikebukuro Main Store.
The first event takes place on October 18, 2026, featuring Momoko Seto as Rikka Inohana, Sayumi Suzushiro as Iko Kirino and Yuki Wakai as Aiko.
A second event follows on November 1, with Rikuya Yasuda as Arisu Yamabuki, Rumi Okubo as Nene Himegawa and Miku Ito as Shinobu Uzuki. Both events feature a talk show and game corner, with participation tickets distributed through qualifying Animate purchases.
Why This Matters
1) Vocal songs and background music are collected together
Three discs separate 13 character and insert songs from the instrumental soundtrack, giving Season 1 a broad physical music release.
2) Yonagi receives more than one definitive recording
Aiko, Rikka and Special Versions provide three different forms of one of the anime's key songs.
3) Arisu gets his own vocal version
Bus ja Tsuki ni Ikenakute — Arisu Version gives the male protagonist a dedicated variant within the collection.
4) The cast remains involved after release
Two October and November release events bring six anime cast members into the Music Collection campaign.
