For whatever reason, SHN just... doesn't give a date as to when they actually release a vocal anymore. Like everyone counts the pre-order date as the release date. May 10 for Longya, October 1 for Tianyi V4. Heck even February 20 for Xingchen despite not being owned by SHN... though, Beijing Photek did confirm which day they actually shipped her (April 13), so that's different.

That's also why a bunch of Western fans blunder about when all of a sudden there's Longya songs out of nowhere in late June because we're very used to having an actual set release date. Obviously, things would have been much easier if there were digital versions because those are easier to keep track of (but nuh, most Chinese vocals don't have digital version XP ). This pretty much "forces" (lol not really, idc) me to put such ugly formats on their pages due to writing down both the preorder date and the estimated release date.
