ReoNa has announced her first-ever best album, scheduled for release on February 3, 2027. Titled ReoNa ANIME & GAME SONG BEST ALBUM "Hello, Unhappy" (ハロー、アンハッピー), the project will arrive as two separate themed albums—Red and Blue—across five different physical editions, each packed with bonus content and live footage spanning her career. If you've been following ReoNa's anime and game work since her 2018 solo debut, this is the definitive collection we've been waiting for.
The announcement came during the kickoff of her "De:TOUR -静脈-" concert series, which began on October 3, 2026, and the album will be supported by special arena concerts in March 2027. Here's everything we know about the formats, pricing, and what makes this release significant.

What the Album Covers—and Why It Matters
This collection brings together ReoNa's anime opening and ending themes, game songs, insert tracks, and event-specific recordings from her entire solo career, which launched in August 2018. For those of us who discovered her through Sword Art Online or followed her work on soundtracks like The Irregular at Magic High School, having all these tracks in one place—properly curated and remastered—is a milestone.
The decision to split the album into Red and Blue editions suggests a thematic or tonal division, though the exact curation hasn't been detailed yet. What we do know is that the scope is comprehensive: every major anime tie-in, game theme, and related work from the past eight years will be represented. This isn't just a greatest-hits sampler—it's a full portrait of ReoNa's range as an anisong artist.
The Five Editions, Explained
Sony Music is offering the album in five distinct configurations, giving fans flexibility based on budget and how much bonus content they want. Here's the complete breakdown:
Complete BOX "Hello, Unhappy -Red & Blue-" is the premium option at ¥19,800 (including tax). It includes both albums on CD, plus a Blu-ray featuring the documentary program "Shimayu Amami" (『シマユイあまみ』) and an original large T-shirt exclusive to the box. Catalog numbers are VVCL-3080 through VVCL-3083.
"Hello, Unhappy -Red-" first-press limited edition pairs the Red album CD with a Blu-ray containing footage from ReoNa ONE-MAN Concert Tour 2023 "HUMAN." It's priced at ¥6,600 and carries catalog numbers VVCL-3084 and VVCL-3085. For fans who attended that tour or missed it, this is your chance to relive one of her most emotionally charged concert series.
"Hello, Unhappy -Blue-" first-press limited edition follows the same structure but includes Blu-ray footage from ReoNa ONE-MAN Concert Tour 2025 "HEART." Also ¥6,600, with catalog numbers VVCL-3087 and VVCL-3088. The "HEART" tour was more recent and showcased her evolving stage presence, so this edition captures a different era of her live work.
The announcement also confirms standard CD-only editions for both Red and Blue albums, though specific catalog numbers and pricing for those haven't been fully detailed in official sources. These will be the most accessible entry points for casual listeners or those who prefer a streamlined purchase.
The Venue Reservation Campaign (Now Closed)
During the early days of her "De:TOUR -静脈-" tour, fans who reserved any edition at the concert venue CD booth received an exclusive venue reservation bonus with artwork unique to each edition. Orders were placed by scanning a QR code on promotional materials at the booth and completing the purchase online. That campaign had a tight deadline—it closed on October 4, 2026 at 12:59 p.m. Japan time—so those bonuses are no longer available through official channels.
This kind of time-limited, tour-exclusive promotion is common in the Japanese music industry, and it rewards fans who attend live shows with collectibles that won't be offered again. If you missed it, standard retail pre-orders will still get you the album itself, but the bonus designs were a one-time offering.
The March 2027 Concert Tie-In
To celebrate the album's release, ReoNa has scheduled two solo concerts at Pia Arena MM in Yokohama on March 6 and March 7, 2027. The concerts are titled ReoNa ONE-MAN Concert 2027 "Hello, Unhappy ~Run Away and Meet Again~" (～逃げて逢おうね～) and "Hello, Unhappy ~I Love People After All~" (～やっぱり人が好き～). The subtitles hint at contrasting emotional tones, which may mirror the Red and Blue album themes.
These arena shows will likely serve as the official album release event, giving fans a chance to hear the full setlist performed live in the weeks immediately following the February 3 street date. Ticketing details haven't been fully announced, so we recommend checking ReoNa's official site for updates as the dates approach.
Why This Best Album Is a Career Milestone
For an artist who's built a reputation on anime and game soundtracks, a best album is more than a retrospective—it's a statement of arrival. ReoNa has spent the better part of a decade establishing herself as one of the most distinctive voices in anisong, and this release formalizes that legacy. Unlike artists who pivot between genres, ReoNa has stayed committed to the anime and game space, and this collection honors that focus.
The inclusion of live footage from her "HUMAN" and "HEART" tours also shows how much her live performance has become part of her identity. We've watched her grow from a promising newcomer to a headlining arena act, and these Blu-rays document that evolution in a way that studio recordings alone can't capture.
What People Are Saying
"Finally, a proper ReoNa collection. I've been waiting for this since 2020. The Red/Blue split is such a ReoNa thing to do—she's always had that duality in her music."
— Fan comment on social media
"¥19,800 for the complete box is steep, but if it has the documentary and both concert Blu-rays, it's actually reasonable compared to buying them separately. Plus that T-shirt."
— Discussion thread participant
"I'm glad they're including the 2023 HUMAN tour footage. That was the tour where she really came into her own as a live performer. If you weren't there, you need to see it."
— Concert attendee review
"March 2027 at Pia Arena is going to be incredible. Two nights with different subtitles means two completely different setlists. I'm buying tickets for both."
