To let the irreversible time reach the "Near Future" Horizon, one must first go through the "Nearest Future." To race through it like some did, to wish for it like some did, it depends on your interpretation.

The 7.5th or 8.5th Story BD Ema ni negai wo! (Prologue Edition) was announced on September 14th, 2020.[1] It is distinct from other Sound Horizon releases in that it will use a Blu-ray disc to allow listeners to select stories, which wouldn't be possible on a CD.[1] It was teased the year before with the launch of the 15th anniversary special site, where if a user clicks the Around 15 Anniversary logo the above quote will appear on screen and a song with the filename “AComingNearestFuture.mp4” will play.[2]

On November 11th, 2020, the list of singers was released in addition to Ema's release date being announced as January 13th 2021, and there was a slight alteration to how the title is written (It is still read the same).[3][4][5] On November 20th, the recording vocalists were announced and cover art revealed,[6][7] as well as dancers and vocalists for the concert.[8][9] Two weeks later on December 4th, the release's narrators and details on the bonus goods were announced.[10]

Bonus Content

The following bonuses come with purchase of the first press edition:[11][3]

  • Amazon: Picture Card of the cover art

It is teased that holding on to the omikuji until the full version's release may result in "something nice [happening]".[5]
