Theme song collection CDs

posts: 2
I totally missed the announcement about Hankyu discontinuing the theme song CDs until someone filled me in last year, but does that apply to theme song collection albums as well? Can I continue expecting a 2009 album?

> A follow-up question...the Live Recording CDs, are they songs that are recorded in a studio or are they from the live shows containing the audience clapping/whistling at the end of the songs? Thanks!

They're live recordings, meaning they are recordings of the live shows with audience applause and such. But generally the audience reactions are pretty quiet, through a combination of their naturally being a quieter bunch in the front of the theater and the sound engineers, I think.

The live recording CDs are from the live shows (as opposed to the singles, which are recorded in a studio). You usually can't hear the applause though; it's edited out.

They've shifted a lot of their focus to selling in mp3 forms, so online (http://www.tca-pictures.net/music/) and at their QR Amie store where you can make custom discs (http://kageki.hankyu.co.jp/goods/quatre/amie/index.html).

They seem to like releasing compilation CDs, though, so I wouldn't rule it out yet. Usually they came out in March or April, so I'd give it a few more months. ;) ... But this is totally a guess. I haven;t seen any kind of official announcement.
