Below is the track listing for the three demo CD's that we know of so far. The names of the CD's aren't official; they're just there to distinguish which one is which since there are some key differences between them. It is believed that they were released in the following order:

New Comer Presentation ★ 08
a.k.a. Black Demo CD

  1. "Sweet Blue"
  2. "Sayonara no Kisetsu"
  3. "Nyami"
  4. "Supergirl"
  5. "Hitohira no Hanabira"

Stereopony
a.k.a. White Demo CD or 2008.9.24 DEBUT

  1. "Sayonara no Kisetsu"
  2. "Sweet Blue"
  3. "Hitohira no Hanabira"

Stereopony ⎣Hitohira no Hanabira⎤ Debut Single 2008.11.5 Release
a.k.a. White Demo CD or 2008.11.5 DEBUT

  1. "Hitohira no Hanabira"
  2. "Sayonara no Kisetsu (DEMO)"
  3. "Sweet Blue (DEMO)"


Comments:

  • "Hitohira no Hanabira" in both New Comer Presentation ★ 08 and 2008.9.24 DEBUT are demo versions, even though it is not labeled so on their tracklists.
  • "Hitohira no Hanabira" in 2008.11.5 DEBUT is identical to the ones found in the Hitohira no Hanabira single and the Hydrangea ga Saiteiru album.
  • "Nyami" in New Comer Presentation ★ 08 is identical to the one in Hitohira no Hanabira single.
  • Both "Sayonara no Kisetsu" and "Sayonara no Kisetsu (DEMO)" are identical songs.
  • Both "Sweet Blue" and "Sweet Blue (DEMO)" are identical songs. They are demo versions of the "Sweet Blue" found in the Hydrangea ga Saiteiru album.
  • "Supergirl" in New Comer Presentation ★ 08 is only 1:09. It is not the complete song shown live in the DVD 1st Tour A Hydrangea Blooms.
  • 2008.11.5 DEBUT is the only demo CD that has Stereopony's website printed on it.





EDIT: Thanks to TAAU we now have the track lists for all three demo CD's, which I will post below. Please read my original post (now inside a Spoiler tag) and reply if there is something you can contribute.

EDIT 2: Added some additional information provided by TAAU.

EDIT 3: Changed titles of the demo CD's according to the covers.

EDIT 4: Demo CD information now available on the official VGD website: http://www.verygooddays.com/main/discography/

between the single official one and the demo? as someone said the vocals are more raw and there's some little differences, but it's the DEMO I find more similar to the final version (compared to other demos).

ooh, so that's where the demo Hitohira no Hanabira came from. I guess that means the chances of finding the Mix Box album are even lower now. Darn... oh well.

Well, according to Hyuma there's a five-track album. Apparently, the demo of "Hitohira no Hanabira" was the 3rd track and "Baby" was the 5th track of that album. I haven't found anything online regarding the existence of the album, so I've just been taking Hyuma's word for it.

http://s1.zetaboards.com/stereopony/topic/3176575/1/



But now that TAAU has posted evidence of the "Hitohira no Hanabira" demo as being the third track of the 2008.9.24 DEBUT demo CD... and if you connect that with the fact that "Baby" is the 5th track of Koza Music Festival, Vol. 9... then I have some doubt about the album's existence (well, its circulation online at least. I'm pretty sure Mix Box would have some kind of CD album). Perhaps, Hyuma just looked at the track numbers for both songs and just assumed they were both songs from the same album.

But then again, I'm probably completely wrong in this assumption... like how I was wrong about "Supergirl" being the 3rd track on the 2008.9.24 DEBUT demo CD.

Now that I'm starting to think about it again... it should have been obvious to me from the start that the demo "Hitohira no Hanabira" was the 3rd track of that CD from the start. The thing that threw me off was the fact that the 2008.11.5 DEBUT demo CD had a version of "Hitohira no Hanabira" identical to the one in the single... and believing it to have been a Mix Box song... Darn you hindsight bias!



EDIT: Regarding the mp3 that TAAU uploaded, it is identical to the file already uploaded. The only difference is the tags in it when you put it on iTunes.

A short story from Boston:

As many (or by now..all) of you know, I interviewed Stereopony in Boston. I was the very last person to interview them, and I was truly honored by the experience.

The interview was conducted in a small room. When I walked in, to my left there was a large group of people involved with Sony / Stereopony. In front of me was my contact and translator of the interview, slightly to the right of me sitting at a table (from closest to me to farthest) was Shiho, Aimi, and Nohanna. At the far right of the room was the main videographer, their A&R rep, the other translator, and even more people involved with Sony Stereopony. I would say roughly there was 12 - 14 people in the room.

The interview went extremely well (details coming soon!). After the Interview I had requested to have two items signed.

The first item I brought out was my copy of the White demo. That's when the atmosphere changed from an extremely gracious and friendly interview, to sheer commotion and excitement. Stereopony and all of the people in the room were SHOCKED to see the demo. They passed it around, looking at it and commenting to each other about it. They questioned me on how I got the demo, how much I paid for it. I expected a nice reaction because it is something special to have...but this really surprised me. Stereopony then carefully signed my demo, asking where I would like it signed, and if they should write my name on it. (I wanted them to absolutely know this was for me, so of course I said yes!) Shiho was kind enough to write my name.

After they signed it, Aimi gently handed it back to me, and she said something to me as she did so. The translator Ryu then told me with a smile "Aimi wants you to know, this is the very first demo they have ever signed!"

I think you can imagine my reaction....

After they signed the demo, I then requested they sign my "Over the Border" poster. Not quite the same elated reaction, but still a surprised reaction from everyone in the room. Once again they asked me how I got the poster, and how much I paid for the poster. Also, Aimi wanted to give me a nice signature, so she didn't accept the small Sharpie marker, and instead requested a larger marker to sign the poster with.

It was a tremendous experience, and I have so much to say...
I look forward to continue to share my experience at Anime Boston with you all...


Here's the demo!



Here's the poster!
