Theigno said: But even with that I would be interested what exactly that number includes and what the 3 or 4 releases are that I count and they don't... there are a few obscure edge cases, like do they count ancient not anime related game stuff like the DW1 and Digimon World Digital Card Battle soundtrack CDs, do they count singles for the same song released in different versions (like Dive), or promotional "not for sale" stuff like that one Michi e no Armor Shinka Animedia whatever special CD, or the Next 0rder soundtrack that was only ever released digitally?

The 2013 re-release of the "We Love DiGiMONMUSiC" boxset included a complete (at the time) chronological list of the CDs that "counted" towards the official total, ending with the "Ending Best Aimer" album at #132. The video game soundtracks, the "Machi E No Armor Shinka" drama Animedia Deluxe Special CD, the "Original Story Special ~With~" drama CD, and allCDs were excluded from this list. From this, we can gather that the video game soundtracks andCDs don't get the "DiGiMONMUSiC" branding because they were released by different record labels. Those special drama CDs presumably don't count because they were special releases that couldn't be purchased via traditional means (although that doesn't stop the "Bokura No Digital World" CD single from being included on the official count).Since 2013, we've gotten the following releases (in no particular order)...- "Digimon Movie Song Collection" (Two Versions)- "Special Drama CD" from the15th Anniversary Blu-Ray Box- "Our War Game!" Original Soundtrack from theThe Movies 1999-2006 Blu-Ray Box- "Butter-Fly ~tri. Version~"- "brave heart ~tri. Version~" (Two Versions)- "I wish ~tri. Version~" (Two Versions)- "Seven ~tri. Version"- "Boku Ni Totte"- "keep on ~tri. Version~" (Two Versions)- "Digimon Adventure tri. Character Song Collection: Chosen Children" (Two Versions)- "Digimon Adventure tri. Character Song Collection: Digimon" (Two Versions)- "Digimon Song Best of Kōji Wada" (DigiFes. Exclusive)- "Kōji Wada Digimon Memorial Best" (Two Versions)- "Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth" Original Soundtrack- "Accentier" from(Three Versions)- TheCDsThe, "Accentier", and "Cyber Sleuth" CDs probably aren't included on the official count (they're released by a different record label, after all). I don't think digital-only releases count either. They've been known to include different "versions" of CDs toward the official count (even if the track listings are the exact same), but they're inconsistent about this. That gives us (at most) 20 individual releases since 2013, which would push the count to (at most) #152. This new DigiFes. 2017 CD would be #153 by my count (unless I'm missing something). Perhaps the blu-ray-exclusive CDs don't count, which would put us right at #150 (soon to be #151)? All of this is speculative, but I have a feeling that's how they're doing this. I do agree, though; I'd love an updated official list.If we includethat's been released, we're somewhere in the 180s.What's weird is that the Twitter account's question of "What's theyear without amusic release?" only works if we count! It's the darndest thing.
