Pony Canyon has announced that they will release 'Kaguya Tsuki Sekai Hiko' for Blu-ray in Japan on June 18th, a full month before the DVD release. This disc will feature 17 minutes of high definition footage of the Moon and Earthrise as shot by NHK and JAXA's Kaguya probe. The footage has been set to classical music, and will give viewers a never before seen look at our closest celestial neighbor.
No technical specs have been announced for the release at this time. It was originally planned for HD DVD release, but with the death of that format, those plans have been canceled.
The Japanese only release will likely carry a large import cost, but for those of you mesmerized by all things space related, this is the only change to see such footage in high definition.
