If you have the cash to spare, you can opt for the insanely cool K.O. Edition, which includes everything listed above, plus extra goodies including a "premium hard-shell roadie collector's case box featuring working lights and sound. Opening the case turns on the lights and sound (music from Anamanaguchi) as well as revealing a pop-up scene of Sex Bob-omb."
