^ I really hope the Zapper movie is worth the wait. -.-''

I think the zapper movie is worth it :3 It's pretty cute and I love hearing olivia speak Japanese. Sailing free in good quality was also great. The PV is 2x as beautiful without all the pixelness

I hope so even though frankly I still find the title retarded

out of the 2.5k she sold how many of you bought 1

me me me!

i bought 1.. though i do not think many people here bought a copy because the asian pop fandoms are full of pirates :rolleyes

I bought the Taiwan press from my friend Cliff

I thought I might have gotten it yesterday but looks like it will be tomorrow

hook me up with your friend cliff, karen :lech

LOL :laugh

dude send me a PM cos I think Cliff still has a copy or 2 of the Taiwan press of Sailing free on his end

he hasn't list it for sale on his ebay shop so yup

is there a difference between the japan press and the taiwan press?

ooh yes there's

1) price . I probably pay for about 1/2 the price for a Taiwan press as compared to the Japan press

2) region code . Japan's 2 while Taiwan/S'pore's 3

3) translation sheet . Taiwan will include a Chinese translation sheet with traditional chinese words . You don't get that in a Japan press

4) OBI . It's a known fact (OK maybe not) that the centre of the OBI pertaining to Taiwan presses made by avex Taiwan are blue & white . It can be ugly depending on how picky you're when comes to OBI's

but other than that , avex Taiwan rocks . They don't hold back when comes to quality of the items that they produced in Taiwan unlike Warner Music S'pore :innocent

i should start buying taiwanese presses then!

thanks for the info karen

yes you definitely should because avex Taiwan's awesome

I always go for OS presses if I can as they're much cheaper for me to afford & the quality's good

+ another incentive on why I prefer OS presses is because of the DVD region code as I can't watch region code 2 DVDs in my laptop except maybe if I play it in the DVD player that's found in my house's living room

Most people don't have the means to buy releases from artists at the time of release.

not trying to but in but that is stealing regardless.. i dont have money for those new jimmy choos at the time of their release but i stole them and plan to buy them later... ya see? :yes

anyway pirates or not lets enjoy OLIVIA's music

it's okay girl, i pirate 90% of my music as well :shughug

Oh, I wasn't trying deny it wasn't lol. Just stating one reason why people pirate.

I understand you so well right there.

YES SAILING FREE HAS CAME from my Taiwanese friend Cliff earlier on alongside with 4 Johnny's singles :

it's my 1st single that I got of OLIVIA & :luv2 , the whole packaging's awesome . Further proof that avex Taiwan rocks & I'm surprised that the casing that was used's the 'fat' kind as compared to the other 4 that I have

You can download the scans of the single via http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1905045

I'm not able to scan up the front & back covers because of the casing & I will be worried if I were to use brutal force to yack the thing off @_@

so I only scanned up the CD , DVD , lyrics sleeve & the sticker

very pretty package overall :luv2

thank goodness I'm sitting in front of the internet modem at home lmao because I managed to upload everything from the Sailing free's DVD :D

I really enjoyed the upload of the tracks from SAILING FREE ^__^ I downloaded TRINKA TRINKA a while ago and bought it today with some Jolin things :)

I was going to get the new single too, but....I'm a bit confused. There is, on HMV HK, the Japan version, the HK version, then the Basara Version with a DVD. The page has no info at all, leaving me wondering what the heck this different (and kinda pricey) version is!

Kendelle as far as I know , avex Taiwan only made a Taiwan press of Sailing free , you know the one of OLIVIA on cover & not the other one with the Basara version

& as far as OS presses go , all of OLIVIA's material are made in Taiwan & never in Hong Kong & yes it does get very confusing :dead2

you see - http://www.hmv.com.hk/search/search_...g+free&fmt=Any

the one that's priced HK$85 , it's Taiwan press , it's the same one that I got from my Taiwanese friend Cliff yesterday :

sorry don't mind the Johnny's items that I have on there :lmfao

& another rule of thumb's to check the catalogue no. . YesAsia unfortunately doesn't state it but HMV HK does . If the 1st 3 alphabets of an OS press's AVJ , then it's a Taiwan press

if it's AAJ , it's made in Hong Kong
