8cm (3") CDs are back! Coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the first release of the format in Japan, four have been newly released.

First is a 5-song compilation mini-album "Blue Tention #bt20230221" with songs by Three Berry Icecream, Plectrum (both of these are remasters of previously released songs), Grenfelle (full version of song released on 7"), Kenichi Kurosawa (self-cover of L⇔R) and Mood Six (UK) (a 1987 cover of Todd Rundgren).

The three others are an EP of Hiiro Moe (Twitter) titled "Singles 2020-2022" (of songs from recent 7" singles including the latest which had a collaboration with The Phantom Gift), a new 2-song single by marble≠marble, and a 3-song EP of 3776's classical pieces with scat as seen on YouTube (watch below).

Those who never used 3" CDs (or forgot the last time they played one) should note that a special adapter is needed to play these in most regular CD players.
