"Luminous Otherworldly Singer" Costume Download Campaign (ReoNa collab skin)

[Amanie]

Note: Initially titled from the MTL'd outfit name, "White Singer from Another World".

There's a download campaign going on that would give this special collab skin "Luminous Otherworldly Singer" 『異界の白き歌うたい』 by the purchase of the game's theme song "Our Song" 「私たちの讃歌」 by ReoNa.

https://x.com/sao_gameinfo/status/1840619829189058633

There are alot of store choices[ReoNa.lnk.to] to buy the song from, though most if not all of them restricted to Japan only.
This collated page points only to 1 file format though, and you might be spending more than necessary if you just want the skin. So instead of that, goto ReoNa Official Goods Store[www.reona-reona.com]. Under Information section, look for [2024 09.20] 『09/30(月)リリース「私たちの讃歌」ダウンロードキャンペーン決定！』. Load more if necessary, since it's in the 4th and last displayed info slot now. It also contains the full information about the campaign.

Price depends on the file format.

• AAC-LC 320kbps | 261 Yen (mora[mora.jp])
  
• FLAC 44.1KHz/16bit | 400 Yen (mora[mora.jp], OTOTOY[ototoy.jp])
  
• FLAC 96.0KHz/24bit | 500/550 Yen (mora[mora.jp], OTOTOY[ototoy.jp])

As an experience-sharing, I bought the AAC one from https://mora.jp/artist/1048642/all.
They're late on telling me that their service is available only on Japan; notifying me only when I get to the checkout page. JP VPN makes it accessible.
Despite saying that overseas cards are not accepted[mora.jp], it accepted my Philippine-issued Mastercard CC anyway.

After purchase, we then submit the requested details in the application form[www.sonymusic.co.jp] + a screenshot of the receipt. I screenshotted the email notification of the purchase.
The phone number accepts only up to 11 digits. Exceeding will prompt you 『入力内容をご確認ください』 "Please check the information you have entered". Press tne red 戻る/Return button to go back to the form. This may not be as important to be accurate as the email address though.
I'm waiting for the confirmation/redemption code email atm.

Update: I have received the reward email[i.imgur.com]!

I submitted the form around 0300 JST, and received it 1336 JST, so around 10hrs. Understandable, since I sent it during their sleep time.
A friend received theirs just within 3hrs of submission, during their supposed business hours of 1000~1800 JST stated in the reward email.

In-game now: Code input allows only 4 characters at a time, yet the code was written w/o at least a dash separation; no one straight copy-paste. The reward gets sent to the mail[i.imgur.com] with a 60-day timer to claim.
The outfit is officially English-named "Luminous Otherworldly Singer". I wish this campaign had more visibility/endorsement on the English side when they had this ready anyway, but here we are.

Thank you for posting this! Please keep us updated for when/if you get the redemption code ♥

This did work for me. I just got redeemed my code right now. So as long as you get the code you'll be able to get it for yourself. Easiest place to purchase for me was OTOTOY.

How long did it take for them to send you the code after your submission of the application?

I did it from the same site OTOTOY yesterday afternoon and got a code this morning. So roughly, overnight or so?

I got my code a little over 8 hours after I submitted all the info, but yea shouldn't be longer than a day.

Update: I got it; they've sent me the email with the redemption code!
I've updated the post to reflect this.

[TwinChops]

Ordered it right now will update if i get the code.

It's a 10:40 song, and you presumably got the Hi-Res 96.0KHz/24bit one, so that's I think understandable. xD
(Mora site says 360MB, but maybe that's a general estimate)

I would've settled for FLAC too, but...this is fine; I came here mainly for the goshdarn nice professor-y outfit. =w=

Yes even for regions outside Japan, reportedly so.
Check the single's iTunes page[music.apple.com] on your side.

'Guess I might as well tell this, too.
Did I have a preference for any of the 13 listed music stores coming to this? None.
So feel free to purchase any amongst them. The following will just be observation stuff about the participating stores.

I would've looked into the iTunes one because it was the most familiar, by name at least, and I have a JP Apple acct. I did attempt to look into it, but I can't even find the buy option, let alone get past some error in iTunes.

I tried visiting the rest, and...aside from some services being complex (i.e. Animelo/Dwango requiring QR scan/URL emailed to access the song distribution page), they've blocked overseas access right upon website visit. I was able to access them via JP VPN.
In the end though, I'd rather let those who kinda-openly allow overseas fellows have more of my time, which led me to Mora and OTOTOY from others' suggestions.

Mora needed a free account registration, and a JP VPN upon checkout. However, they had all 3 format variations of the songs. So I went with Mora.
OTOTOY does not seem to require account registration for purchases, so it's very welcome to guest-only one-time purchases. They offer only the two FLACs though, so no option for the cheapest AAC one.


A word of caution: In OTOTOY, they have an English note on its left pane mentioning that this particular track is available only for 10 download counts. The other tracks of ReoNa didn't have that note. I couldn't find if other sites have such purchase agreements. So just be aware.
Don't get this wrong, this isn't anything against OTOTOY, it's more an awareness for this particular song's purchase agreement.
