Ftarri Collection, a 7-CD set in a limited edition of 300, has sold out. To mark the occasion, each of the 7 CDs is being sold separately. The first Ftarri Festival was held in April 2008 at SuperDeluxe in Tokyo and at UrBANGUILD in Kyoto. In September 2013, the Ftarri doubtmusic Festival was held jointly with the label doubtmusic at SuperDeluxe, Tokyo. Ftarri Collection consists of carefully selected recordings from both festivals.

In "Ftarri Collection 3" there are 4 tracks: 3 pieces from the 2008 Tokyo festival (2 by gnu--Masahiko Okura, Shinichi Tsukamoto, Yukiya Taneishi, Tadashi Kumada, and Itoken--and a solo piece by Ami Yoshida); and a trio performance by Tim Olive, Anthony Guerra, and Makoto Oshiro from the 2010 festival.
