Kome Kome Club adds downloads to new album

On September 5, Kome Kome Club will release its new album, titled “komedia.jp.” It includes what is being billed as the world’s first “download system” with a CD – while the album contains 16 regular tracks, buyers will gain access to 8 download-exclusive songs.

When listeners place the CD in their computers and access www.komedia.jp, they will be able to purchase the downloadable songs. The tracks will only be available between the CD’s release date and the end of the year. Each of them will cost 210 yen to download.

The experiment is sure to be closely watched by the music industry, as CD sales continue to drop in favor of digital distribution.
