I was curious about this too, I checked CDJapan and didn't see it available there. On their twitter there is a link to purchase, but as of right now it appears that you can only obtain a copy via mail order from the site linked in the status update. On the shipping map (which can be found under shipping details on the product page), it says that shipping charges overseas are charged separately, so I assume that means shipping overseas is available. Hope this helps.
 
 

*First and foremost I would like to apologize for the length, but there is a lot to unpack here.*
-And I know that some of my opinion's will likely not be very popular (but I'm more than welcome for anyone to disagree)
 
After listening to the full album, I definitely think that this isn't nearly as bad as some people are making it out to be. I was a huge fan of DEZERT's earlier material, but I think a good few of the songs in here are excellent even though they aren't necessarily the same genre I usually prefer. I've got to say that I was not expecting to like this album as much as I did (even maybe not at all) considering the more than overwhelming negative reception it's seemed to have gotten, especially on this thread. But I am more than pleasantly surprised! Compared to most releases I've heard recently, this is actually a really solid album. I feel like a lot of the newer VK bands have some real potential, but I feel like fewer and fewer bands are catching my interest these days. I find a lot of times that I really like a band's sound/instruments, however the lead vocalist's voice tends to ruin that for me. But I've always liked Chiaki's voice, which is the main reason why I stick with following the band. I've definitely noticed that if I don't like/absolutely can't stand the vocalist's voice, I just can't get into a band. I think if the vocalist's voice is bad, it's just too much of an issue for me to overlook.
 
Now onto My album review + ranking!   --->
 
I usually prefer songs with a "harder" sound much over ballads, but I thought the production quality was really good for some of the slower songs in this track-list especially.
 
1. 感染少女
  *I really liked the sound of 「感染少女」 and would definitely say it was my favorite song on the album!
2. 半透明を食べる。
  *video was interesting and the song is really catchy
3. Dark In Black Hole
   *really liked this one, but was expecting a little more
4. 神経と重力
   *love the instrumental parts in this!
5. 御法度
   *instrumentals were really good here, but the chorus ruined it for me. (The rest of the song is great though.)
6. Call of Rescue
   *this is an example of one of the great slower songs on the album. (I constantly have it on repeat)
7. Thirsty?
   *started off a bit "meh" but the chorus made me change my mind and I liked it after giving the rest of the song a try
8. 白痴
   *another example of a good slow song on the album, really good quality production (though I wouldn't listen to it as much as some of the other songs)
9. バケモノ
   *liked this song a lot in the beginning, but it quickly got overshadowed by many other great tracks on the album
10. ラプソディ・イン・マイ・ヘッド
    *this song sounded unique and strange to me, but was kinda catchy, and I prefer it over the latter two
11. みぎて
    *really liked the intro and some parts mixed in with the chorus, but everything else was pretty "meh" about this song
12. I'm sorry
    *quality was really good with this one and I liked the sound a bit, but it's definitely not the style I'm looking for (and was a bit repetitive)
 
***Songs I absolutely would not listen to again (sadly):***
 
1. 天使の前頭葉
2. True Man
 
These were awful...
I could not get through either of these songs. I'm sad to say I had to switch them off immediately after I couldn't stand them anymore.

lmao some sections in Dark in Black Hole are straight SOAD's rip off.
 
Besides that, there are several pretty strong tracks on this album if you're not suffering from stuck-in-the-past syndrome
 
 

Just bought:
 
どく　「クイ」　
ザアザア　「破裂」(Regular Edition)　
NAZARE　「荊海 CODA」
 
Really happy with all three! I'm hoping to also buy Suibotsu soon as I really like what I heard in the album previews.
The NAZARE single was sold as used but was delivered as new instead; I'm happy about that too lol.
It was a pleasant surprise!

First listen opinions: "Baku" is kinda odd. It has the potential to be something absolutely sick but feels kinda unfinished and rushed, but I really like the emphasis on atmosphere. "Sense of Distrust" does the "heavy verses poppy chorus" thing pretty well I must say. I honestly consider that formula to be one of the worst things going on within the br00tal kei scene but the melody is very engaging, props to them for being able to get it right! Not anything to say on the SE track really. It's nice as far as SEs go, and while its addition already reeks of "we don't have anything else to put on the single", its placement as the last track feels really weird and it doesn't add absolutely anything to the single.
 
I kinda liked it more than Ideal tbh
 
 

Just received my copy of 荊海 CODA today and I can say I was expecting a bit more from them. I was disappointed to hear less of Mio's vocals than usual in
駁-baku-, and the first half of the song was just background noise to me. Sense of distrust was a lot better with actually including some solid vocals, but the song itself didn't really click with me. And after all the waiting, the third track ended up just being an SE. Nonetheless, NAZARE is still one of my favorite bands atm and I didn't actually hate the single, but I wasn't blown away by it either.
 
I think all the hype created over hearing this release was mostly due to the fact it was so hard to even get imo. I really like the band and have to say after finally being able to give this single a listen that my favorite releases of their's still remain 荊海 BEYOND and IDEAL.
