Five compilation DVDs of skits from Vermilion Pleasure Night were released in Japan. In addition, a feature-length compilation film titled "THE COLOR OF LIFE" was released in theaters and recycled much of the same content and also contained some bonus material as an incentive for collectors.
The US releases (published by ADV Films) paired up these DVDs into three volumes:
Each ADV DVD also contains an optional English dub. In the beginning of 2009, a Complete Collection was released.
A DVD of the Fuccon Family sketches was released on January 24, 2004, including the sketches that were not included in the other volumes.[5]
"RISE - Vermilion Pleasure Night", the official soundtrack CD containing full versions of another of the show's theme songs as well as audio versions of some of the recurring skits, was released on April 18, 2001 on the Zetima label. The limited-edition first pressing came accompanied with a photobook.
