Official HIGE DANdism are now travelers

Last month we reported on Official HIGE DANdism’s brand new album but at the time we didn’t have too much information regarding it—but now we know a lot more. The new album will be titled Traveler and will be released October 9. Traveler will be Official HIGE DANdism’s very first major studio album and is to be released in three editions total, a standard edition and two limited editions. The standard edition will be CD-only and will feature a total of thirteen tracks. The limited edition will not only come with the CD but also either a DVD or Blu-ray depending on which limited edition you pick up. However, both will feature the same content, a live recording of the group’s one-man tour held at NHK Hall this past January 24. Pre-order links are now available and posted here along with the full track listing for the Blu-ray/DVD and a list of which songs have been revealed to appear on the album—the full track-listing CD has yet to be fully revealed, though.
