What Is The Release Date For The Sweet Lemon Cafe Soundtrack?

I still get a warm, fuzzy feeling thinking about how the music from 'Sweet Lemon Cafe' hit my playlists—so here's the practical bit: the official soundtrack was released digitally on April 5, 2024, at 00:00 JST. That was the moment the composer’s little acoustic gems and ambient café tracks went live on streaming platforms and storefronts worldwide. For people in North America that meant late evening on April 4 in many time zones, but the official timestamp the team used was April 5, 2024 (JST).

I dug into the release a little more because I love the tiny differences between formats. The digital release was the main drop, but there was a limited-edition CD pressed with an extra two bonus tracks that hit stores and the official shop on June 14, 2024. If you’re into vinyl warmth, a small-run vinyl pressing arrived later on August 30, 2024, with a handful of signed copies and a printed coffee-stain art card that felt delightfully on-brand. I ended up preordering that vinyl because the cover art and liner notes made it feel like a little escape—perfect for rainy weekend listening.

Beyond dates, what I liked most was how the soundtrack captures small moments: a clinking espresso spoon in an intro cue, a cozy piano that feels like a late-afternoon chat, and mellow, lo-fi interludes for when the scene drifts into memory. If you want to find it right away, search for 'Sweet Lemon Cafe' soundtrack on major streaming services and on the publisher's webstore—digital on April 5, 2024; CD in mid-June; vinyl at the end of August. That timeline made the whole project feel curated, like a seasonal coffee blend released in careful batches. I still put the opening track on when I want a gentle pick-me-up.

Got a quick timeline for you: the digital soundtrack for 'Sweet Lemon Cafe' launched on April 5, 2024 (official release time was 00:00 JST), so if you streamed it the night before where you live, that’s just time zones doing their thing. There were later physical editions—a limited CD with bonus tracks released on June 14, 2024, and a small-run vinyl pressing released on August 30, 2024—so collectors had something to chase beyond the digital drop.

I was thrilled to hear the mix of mellow piano pieces and cozy ambient sounds; it felt like the music was designed to be played while making coffee or reading on the balcony. If you missed the initial digital release, it’s been added to most streaming platforms and the publisher’s shop since then. Personally, I streamed it the night it dropped and then bought the CD for the booklet artwork—total impulse buy, zero regrets.
