[10th Anniversary UHQCD Edition]
Busker Busker's first album, which does not need further explanation as it includes and , was released on March 29, 2012.
The 1st complete album of Busker Busker, which is an extension of the 1st album and jacket in every way, and was released about 3 months apart, was released on June 21, 2012, exactly 10 years ago from the day when pre-orders for the [Busker Busker 1st album & 1st complete album 10th anniversary edition] album began.
[Busker Busker 1st album & 1st album completion 10th anniversary edition] This album is a combined repackage album planned to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the release of Busker Busker's 1st album and 1st completion album. It's not that I didn't think about requesting the three members to supply even small content to commemorate the 10th anniversary, such as handwriting, like I did sometime ago, but in the end, I decided not to do so.
The first album, the final album, has been sold out in the music market since the end of the spring of 2020, and it is natural for the first album to reappear on the charts in the spring. However, in the 10 years since its release, album sales have decreased significantly (album inventory has also fallen this month), so even if it is not necessary to supply additional new content, it has been decided to focus only on the meaning of the '10th anniversary of release' combined release itself.
However, the only change they made was to send the Busker Busker music to Japan and import it into UHQCD, the so-called high-quality CD (although it may be well-received or not at all). And because it was a shame to just bring in the UHQCD due to the high airfare, I ended up shipping the DW Jewel Case produced in Japan in the next compartment. Please refer to the preview shot for packaging implementation.
In particular, the functional description of UHQCD is included in the manufacturer's description below, so be sure to read it before making a reservation. (It can be played on any CD player, so you don't know how fortunate it is for those who have to sell it.)

** UHQCD-R (Ultimate High Quality CD) **
UHQCD (Ultimate High Quality CD) is a high-quality CD made by Japan's Memory-Tech using a new manufacturing method using photopolymer transfer technology and special alloy. It can be played on any CD player.
Although it is called a high-quality CD in the name of high reproducibility of master quality, there may be differences in perception depending on the listener's subjective variables and playback audio environment. Please note this in advance before purchasing.

Lastly, I will write down the sales figures for Busker Busker's first album, which may be overlooked if the production company does not inform you.
Since its release on March 29, 2012, the total sales volume has exceeded 200,000, including 182,400 CDs sold, 3,900 single LPs sold, and 14,800 combined LPs sold last year.
(The final album, which did not contain as many killer tracks as the first album, sold 57,000 copies, which is by no means a small number.)
It was a time when there were no organized fan signing events like there are now, and an album without a single random photo card consistently sold 200,000 copies for 10 years... There may be people who think it is not a great achievement these days, when million-selling albums appear again rarely, but on the contrary, there are probably many people who acknowledge this surprise, so I wrote it down.
However, what is clear is that this campaign to re-release Busker Busker's first album (and the final album as an extension) under the 10th anniversary edition title is not awkward at all.
There will be very few people who would not agree with the fact that it is one of Korea's best albums that touches the hearts of not only those who were young at the time 10 years ago, but also all those who still retain their youth.
