We anticipated that October 2022 would be insane in terms of OP/ED releases with all the big productions airing this season: Chainsaw Man, Mob Psycho III, Spy x Family part 2 and many others. All of them have incredible artists working on OP & ED, and we got all those songs quite early in the month.
But there were multiple big surprises we didn't expect!
You may already know that KADOKAWA is a label that releases their artists' songs & albums to 14 or 15 countries depending on the streaming service. So far, the only exceptions to the rule have been Konomi Suzuki's KADOKAWA discography, and Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai Opening, which were made available worldwide last year, and July of this year respectively.This month, KADOKAWA finally decided to make another move, and it's a big one: Made in Abyss OSTs by Kevin Penkin are finally available worldwide too, including the newest OST from Season 2: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun.Also, Bleach anime & movies soundtracks by Shiro Sagisu are now available worldwide, matching with the beginning of Thousand-Year Blood War arc adaptation.
Lastly, the record label VAP started releasing more of their soundtracks outside of Japan with great albums ranging from Ouran High School Host Club, Parasyte -the maxim- & Death Parade. Let's hope they will release more soon!
