*Ronin Warriors* (known in Japan as *Yoroiden Samurai Troopers*) is a late 1980s anime series that gained popularity for its armored heroes, epic battles, and strong character-driven storytelling. Beyond its action, the show is beloved for the personalities of its five samurai warriors—Ryo, Sage, Cye, Kento, and Rowen—and their bonds as friends. This vinyl release, titled *BEST FRIENDS* (catalog number 256R-6), is a special **character song collection**, distinct from the series’ opening/ending themes or BGM soundtracks. It features original vocal tracks performed by the cast, highlighting the emotions and individuality of the characters. The LP includes a colorful illustrated jacket, lyric insert, and even emblem stickers of the Samurai Troopers’ armor symbols, making it a true collector’s piece for anime music fans.

Vinyl Grading Guide
MINT
The item and container are absolutely perfect in every way. To qualify as Mint, the item must never have been played and is possibly still sealed. Mint should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all. Note that an item can be sealed and not Mint. If you suspect your record is in Mint condition, do not play it.
NEAR MINT(NM)
The item is nearly perfect. Near Mint (NM) media has more than likely never been played, and if it has, there will be no imperfections during playback. The item should show no obvious signs of wear. The cover or container can have very minor defects., but it should have no folds, seam splits, scratches, or other noticeable similar defects. The same should be true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, etc. Many dealers won’t give a grade higher than NM, implying (perhaps correctly) that no item is ever truly perfect.
VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)
The item will show some signs that it was played and handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Any defects are of a cosmetic nature and do not affect the actual playback. In theory, a Very Good Plus (VG+) item should sound the same as a Near Mint (NM) one. Surfaces may show some signs of wear, such as slight scuffs or very light scratches, and slight warps that do not affect the sound are okay. Paper products like sleeves will have some wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a small seam-split. In general, it plays perfectly, and if not for some minor aesthetic wear, it would be Near Mint.
VERY GOOD (VG)
The item’s defects will be more pronounced. Surface noise will be evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and fade, but will not overpower the music. Wear will start to be noticeable, such as with light scratches on vinyl (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound. Labels, covers, and sleeves may be marred by writing or have tape, stickers, and residue attached. However, a VG item will not have all of these problems at the same time.
GOOD (G), GOOD PLUS( G+)
An item in Good (G) or Good Plus (G+) condition can be played through without skipping, but it will have significant surface noise, scratches, crackling, or visible wear. A container, cover, or sleeve will have scratches or seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, or other defects will also be present.
POOR (P), FAIR (F)
The item is cracked, badly warped, and won’t play through without skipping or repeating. The container or cover could be cracked, water-damaged, and heavily marred by wear or writing. If it is a vinyl record, the album cover and inner sleeves are fully split, crinkled, and written upon. Poor (P) or Fair (F) records are generally worth very little.
