split tears is fripSide’s first major retail album. It’s fripSide’s 5th original album and named after an alternate ending song fripSide did for Studio Ryokucha’s Katakoi no Tsuki. Most of the songs have a game tie-in and two songs are album originals.
There are two versions of this album but they are both the same. The software version is available only inside Japan, just like Binarydigit. The major retail version, sold by the agency Pony Canyon, is available to people worldwide on sites like YesAsia, CDJapan, etc.. Only the release from Pony Canyon is counted on Oricon Charts. The software version released a day earlier than the major retail.
