This is something I've wanted to do for sometime now - release as complete a collection of nano's works as possible, and this collection contains, to the best of my knowledge, all versions of each single and album from nanoir up to The Crossing. I've been a fan of nano since first hearing No pain, No game (which was pretty much the best part of the BTOOOM! anime, in my opinion).
Everything in this collection has been ripped, scanned, and encoded by me - I had many of these from previous downloads over the years, but as I no longer knew the source for some of them (and would not release someone else's work without being able to properly credit them), and also because I wanted as much consistency as possible I wanted to track down, acquire and rip everything myself. So I did.
Starting with No pain, No game the singles have had multiple versions, generally a nano (ナノ) version and an anime (アニメ) version, with different B tracks. As a rule the main track has come from the nano version and then the anime version exclusive tracks were additionally ripped. I've noted which tracks are exclusive to which version in both the filename - adding an 'a' for the anime track and an 'n' for the nano track (and in the case of SAVIOR OF SONG an 'm' for the MY FIRST STORY version) - and the metadata album name.
Starting with N every album has had 'NA', 'NO' and regular versions. The songs have generally been ripped from the regular version, but there's no difference in the songs between versions. The 'NA' versions have always included a DVD with music videos on them. These videos are of course included but keep in mind I make no claim to be an encoder. The videos are all 10bit x264 (I also did 10bit x265 versions and will make them available in a supplemental torrent if anyone is interested in them. They were done mostly for my own amusement - again, I'm not an encoder). Videos with FLAC audio are included in the FLAC torrent while the videos in the MP3 torrent use AAC audio. The video used is the same. I should note that the videos from The Crossing are new encodes from those in my previously released torrent.
The 'NO' versions (with the exception of 'N' which instead had a 'goods' bonus) include a bonus CD that contains the B tracks from the previous singles (making it somewhat pointless to purchase the different versions of the singles, except I'm sure the company is aware that people like me will buy them regardless - the only exception to this I can think of is Silver Sky from the anime version of the SAVIOR OF SONG single, plus you get instrumental versions with the singles, if one enjoys those, which I personally do for the most part). These bonus CD are naturally included as well.
Scans for everything are also included. Scanning is not my forte and is honestly the thing I least enjoy doing for these releases, but I still take pride in my work and so I do my best. The scans for Remember your color. were especially 'fun' - I used multiple scans to create composite images and just for the heck of it I've left those source scans in a folder. I should also note that for The Crossing I apparently did not scan the slip cases for the NA and NO versions - I gave serious thought to just rescanning everything (as I had done for pretty much everything else) but ultimately decided it was not worth it since in this instance those slip cases added nothing new - they are the same images/information as on the booklet covers and the backside of the inserts, so I opted to leave that set of scans as is from my previous release.
With all that being said, I am excited to finally release this collection and hope others come to enjoy nano's music as much as I do. I will apologize in advance for any mistakes I've made - I try to always check for things but there always seems to be something completely boneheaded that escapes my attention. Now that this is finally done I guess I can get to work on a few other things soon. Rock on.
Any help seeding is always greatly appreciated.
