Here's an oddity: they recently released Hirasawa's first 3 solo albums (plus some P-MODEL stuff) on vinyl https://diskunion.net/jp/ct/detail/1008191129 It might be cool to have larger versions of the album art, but that's really the only appeal I see here.
I picked up the 2014 remaster of "jikuu no mizu" on SHM-CD here. It does seem like it's a genuine remaster of some sort - there's a recording engineer credited for it and the waveform does look different. I can't tell how much different it really is though, apart from being mixed louder - which may not be a good thing.
I probably have the same remaster. Such an amazing album. However, I think I prefer the live versions of those songs from the Error CD, even though that live recording has the most echo I've ever heard on any live release. I've probably listened to the live version of "QUIT" from that release a thousand times. I don't even know what album that song was originally released on or if it's even his solo career work.
