The series ARIA, created by manga artist Kozue Amano and directed by Junichi Sato, has been hailed as “one of the best” slice-of-life stories out there. In celebration of the anime ARIA’s 20th anniversary, a special 3-disc album of ARIA’s best hits is scheduled to be released!
The five main theme songs featured in the trilogy, ARIA the AVVENIRE, ARIA the CREPUSCOLO, and ARIA the BENEDIZIONE, have been recorded on albums by their respective artists before, but never on an ARIA album until now. The first disc will be a collection of 14 opening and ending themes from the anime, the second disc a compilation of 13 insert songs, and the third disc will feature an original collection of songs on piano by pianist and producer Mina Kubota.
In 2009, ARIA The BOX, a collection of themes and insert songs from the anime, was released with only 10,000 copies available which sold out immediately. The new best-hits album will be the only item once again featuring the complete collection of themes and insert songs from the anime, so you don’t want to miss out.
The album jacket illustration features original artwork by the creator Kozue Amano.
In addition, the second main visual for ARIA’s 20th anniversary concert has been released. The theme of the visual is “Thank you for 20 years” and features the cast in their respective teams holding various flowers.
