#IVPB ~Ikemen Voice Paradise Best~

This is a bit of a surprise, as the seventh IVP release came in December of 2013, and there was never a release in 2014. I had written the series off as finished, but Exit Tunes are bringing it back for one last go, advertising this best-of release as “Ikemen Voice Paradise -Final Stage-“. Bonus items include 1 of 4 can badges and a postcard. Retailer-exclusive bonuses are also available. Visit the official website for samples and more info.
