- 「ARIA The ORIGINATION」ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK tre -vinyl edition- — Soundtrack from the third season of the anime

For 「ARIA The ORIGINATION」ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK tre -vinyl edition-, a special Limited Edition version will be available, which comes with a vinyl storage box featuring a newly drawn illustration by Kozue Amano created exclusively for this release.
