It looks like Universal Japan is planning a fairly extensive reissue campaign of select Blue Note, Pacific Jazz, Liberty, Verve, EmArcy, Impulse!, and Capitol titles. Two batches slated so far:

October 20, 2021

November 11, 2021

Looks like some Transition, Argo, Cadet, and United Artists titles too.

And one or two Solid State, Decca, and East Wind titles ...

The links cannot be open

All these reissues (there is a full list - 200 titles - at Discogs ) are suddenly listed as unavailable at amazon.co.jp. This is too fast for all of them to go OOP - they were released in October - November 2021. Same goes for other recent Universal Japan reissue series, e.g. this one. Anybody knows what's happening? Perhaps some manufacturing issues at Universal Japan?

Perhaps amazon.co.jp has decided to not source these going forward. Looking at a few of these titles on cdjapan.co.jp still shows them "available from supplier." It could be that there was an availability limit on this series (there sometimes/often is on Japanese releases, a set date when they may be no longer available) and amazon Japan may not reorder after that date. I don't know. Though it wouldn't surprise me that they may not be available for too much longer, they seem to be able to be ordered elsewhere.

Japan has their very own unique system of cd manufacturing and distribution that is Japan-centric and doesn't really seem to take into account international sales with some exceptions (Sony seems to, their Blu-Spec and Blu-Spec CD2 and SACD releases seem to be kept in print "long time.") As I understand it they at least used to query stores and sales points about upcoming presses, adjust their pressing quantities accordingly, and distribute. They may then repress or remaster and re-release as demand arrives. . . or not.
