Reissue of Mondo's Ghibli Kokyo Kyokushu LP

The Issue

With this petition, I would like to catch Mondo's interest and prove that there is a demand for reissuing Kokyo Kyokushu.

I would love to get this beautiful vinyl, however buying price on Discogs is $200+, same with eBay etc., which is a lot in my opinion. 
While people who buy at these prices lose money, Mondo loses potential customer and in effect loses money aswell. Thus making a reissue would be beneficial for both sides.

Kokyo kyokushu was released in 2013. I believe there's a lot of people like me, who became interested in vinyl later than that. Making a reissue would create a fair chance for us. 

Finally, there is a clear demand for it - by making a mean value from statistics on Discogs, we get that ~850 people want it. Want/have ratio is 2:1.

Responded
“Hi Everyone, First, let me start by saying that this petition made me very happy. I love how passionate you guys are. It came into my inbox in December, and i've been meaning to respond for a while but the Holiday season got the better of me. Unfortunately... repressing this specific record is impossible. I can't get into too much detail about this particular project out of courtesy to our incredible, generous partner Studio Ghilbi - but this specific release had a strict pressing limit, and contract term of when and how we could sell it. We pressed that exact amount of records, and they sold out within the term... ...but just barely. Believe it or not this title was not very quick to sell when it came out. I remember an initial disappointment to a lukewarm response. Maybe it was a little too early in the initial vinyl resurgence, and maybe its announcement just never found its way to the core Ghibli fanbase. I remember even being able to find copies of this in record stores pretty easily for a while. It doesn't surprise me that it's highly coveted now. Its certainly one of my favorite things we've ever done. This project was always intended to be a test run, for both us and Ghibli, for future Vinyl releases - so please know is still our dream to do more Studio Ghibli vinyl soundtracks in the future. But this particular record is no longer within our rights to produce. Should any good news come up in the near future I will continue to update this group - if I'm correctly understand how this platform works - but for now sadly all I have is this bad news :( But thank you again for communicating your disappointment, and your desire for this record. I hope that if we get to make more Studio Ghilbli records and you, even if this particular compilation remains elusive. If you have any further questions about this, please let me know and i'll do my best to answer anything I can. - Mo Shafeek Mondo Music Record Label Manager”
