The Beginning : 開花PLATFORM

ATBO – The Beginning : 開花 (PLATFORM) is one physical edition of The Beginning : 開花, a mini album by ATBO released on July 28, 2022. A platform album holds no disc: the music plays through a QR card or an NFC chip, in the distributor app.

The box declared by the distributor holds one photocard. One photocard is announced. One photocard is drawn at random out of 7 designs: two copies do not give the same cards.

No POB is listed for this version in pocabase. A POB (preorder benefit) is a bonus from the retailer, never from the label: it changes from one shop to the next and is gone once the preorder window closes.

The Beginning : 開花 comes in 8 versions, among them PLATFORM, Standard, Monochrome Version, and Polychrome Version. The tracklist does not change from one version to the next: only the box, the photocards and the artwork do. PLATFORM is the only one in platform album format. The declared contents of PLATFORM match the other versions: the database records no difference in items.

This is an official edition: bought from an authorised retailer, it counts towards the Hanteo and Circle charts, which measure physical sales in South Korea. No EAN is recorded here. The EAN is the 13-digit barcode that names one precise version: it is the safest check before buying.
