Quick answer

Buy the 貴方の側に。EP if you want the full five-track program plus the anime illustration jacket and special sleeve; skip it if you only need the main song and its TV-size edit, since both are already on the disc.

Five tracks means more than a single

The disc carries the title song, its TV-size version, a character vocal version by 斎森 美世 (CV: 上田 麗奈), and instrumental versions of the first two. That makes it closer to a mini EP than a two-track single, which is the main reason to choose this edition over a standard single.

Packaging is part of the purchase

The listed specifications include an anime illustration jacket and a special sleeve. If you collect anime tie-in releases or display packaging, those two elements are the practical difference between this and a plain jewel-case single. If you only listen digitally, they add nothing to the experience.

Price and catalog comparison

The catalog lists this item at USD 1346.40 against a comparison price of USD 1980.00. That is a catalog comparison, not a guarantee of future pricing, so check the current listing before you buy. The disc has no listed region code or bonus items beyond the jacket and sleeve, so do not assume extras that are not stated.

貴方の側に。EP: reader questions

What exactly is on the EP?

Five tracks: 01. 貴方の側に。, 02. 貴方の側に。(TV Size Ver.), 03. 貴方の側に。斎森 美世(CV:上田 麗奈), 04. 貴方の側に。(- Instrumental -), and 05. 貴方の側に。(TV Size Ver. - Instrumental -). If you want the character vocal or the instrumentals, this disc has them; a standard two-track single would not.

Does it include the anime illustration jacket?

Yes. The supplied specifications list an anime illustration jacket and a special sleeve as part of the release.

Who is this EP for?

It suits listeners who want the full track program and the anime-style packaging. It is less useful if you only want the main song, because the TV-size and instrumental versions repeat the same material. Check whether you already own the title song on another release before buying a second copy.
