If you buy within the first week of release, singapore stores should offer you a poster. But if you can't wait then what the heck. Anyway, posters sort of take up space only. By the way, anyone know what happened to the singaporean thread? There's only a french thread in the posting games forum.

the trash can and games got cleaned~ so you'll have to start a new one

Thanks but why..? So that's what the forum maintenance yesterday was about. And feeling compelled to stay on topic, jiarongisme are you still bugging warner?

^oh really? there is no more thread for singaporeans?

Anw warner sg is irritating isnt it? lolz

i guess the forum needs to clean up once in a while~ clean up the bandwidth

and i read the earlier posts of this thread
...so you guys are harassing Warner? :lech

1) i needa pay extra 20 dollars for the poster. I will not pay for a poster XD. yeah i am cheapskate.

2) the poster is something extra right? it is not originally with it. So i am ok if i dont have it. But the PB is something that i SHOULD have if i buy the album. So i will definitely insist that i get the PB.

^I like the logic. I intended to post this on the singaporean thread but since it's kaput, misia's awesome. But my section must have been filled with lucky draw ticket winners cos they were dead as a bored Gackt. Even I who don't know ANY misia songs whatsover buay tahan and stood up during the second half onwards. It's so sad. She came all the way from japan and y'all gonna sit there and stone at her. Now if only they would bring ayu over too and sell A Complete outside the concert venue...

i heard that they dont print the photobook because it's from the avex japan that dun let them print the PB..
that's why GUILTY also dun have PB..

it's due to licensing issues since there's no avex office here & as a result whatever jpop stuff Warner SG wants to print locally in S'pore , they have to obtain permission from avex in order to do so

that's why this time round , I really have no idea whether will they leave the photobook of A COMPLETE intact or not , something tells me no since it's deemed 'limited' & etc

Called our dear distributor just now

She said we will get
- LOCAL ver
- with pb - if she nv lie to me and if I nv listen wrongly
- the box - same as Japan ver for 3CDs+DVD

Poster is still undecided. A COMPLETE should be out by this month...
Oh yeah ours will not be limited

^Thanks! Think the PB is more important to most than the poster. Really looking forward to it.

cool thanks for that Hui Min

true because how many more posters can you collect & store in your house :dead2

at least for a photobook it's small & compact

True... I still dunno what to do with my remaining posters... after my disaster with my A BALLADS and RAINBOW posters... thanks to blue tack and tape and whatever you can use to stick posters onto the wall....

exactly

I didn't know what to do with my GUILTY poster so much so that I sold it away to someone on AHS LOL

I actually rejected it... I thought it was a common item!

I think what she meant as not limited is that the box set is permanent because if it is not limited then there'll be no Box and PB... I rang up Warner just now BUT THE PERSON SAID NO DETAILS OF IT LEH.

^oh my.. getting more panic and more impatient. ya. PB more important than poster. but make sure they have everything!!!!!!!! *screams*

?!?!

eh you actually can do that ? I didn't know that :dead2

^ Just tell the person at the counter no. Lol. XD

I trust that there'll be a PB since kiseki said so.

When i bought AB2 W&B, i was kinda shocked when 2 posters were placed on my laden arms. For some reason, i had places to go after buying Secret, AB2 and Guilty so for Guilty, i decided not to carry the poster around. Too troublesome and i never cared for the posters anyway. The salesperson was quite stunned. He said "Are you sure? It's an ayumi poster" probably in case i thought it was some random freebie lol...

Since kiseki89 got quite a positive response, i think we just need to wait 2 more weeks tops.

LOL ok :laugh

I have posters of A BEST 2 , GUILTY & Secret bcos I got all the albums from HMV but I sold my GUILTY poster away because I don't have anymore space on the walls to put any poster

^ Well all music stores give out posters for all the albums stated. ;)

Karen I'd rather sell the A BEST 2 posters actually xD GUILTY is a nicer poster imo D:

Ok I better call again tml, just in case they cheat me..
Think I better disguise my voice or something..

haha. if got poster i will buy locally on top of the one i ordered :P

Won't that mean people are lest willing to buy te AB2 posters :P Since it's a blown up picture of a face as opposed to full figure shot on a cliff. I think no need ba kiseki89... Why should the person cheat you.

I called again this morning. But this time I got the same response as jiarong. But the lady did say it should be out next week. However when I asked more regarding the pb, ect, her colleague took over the phone and said no info.
So basically the call is like this -
Got through > same familiar voice, hence i assumed the same lady answered > I asked when will AC be out > she paused and asked her colleague in the back > returned to me and she said should be out next week > I asked if ours will be like the Japan ver > she paused and asked the person in the background again > then voice changed to a guy's and he said details not fixed
So what does this mean?

Well I said "in my opinion" LOL! Somemore the GUILTY poster is 2 sided one so if you boring of one you just turn to the other side, LOL!

Let's just wait for the details shall we? If really don't have box set and photobook then I'll buy them online.

Goodness my spelling in the last post was horrible. I remembered some people were complaining about the redundance of having a 2-sided poster. Do you suspend it on a ceiling or..?

People, it's A Complete. They can't not have the photobook. They musn't. I have faith. Yay "should be out next week". Sounds promising enough.

yeah jiarong. If there is no PB in the A COMPLETE box set, I think I will want to get one online too. Pls let me know then, so we can buy them together!

But first, let's carry on hoping that SG ver. has everything inside to be complete. I MUST GET A COMPLETE NO MATTER WHAT!

^ I asked Karen to ask her Taiwanese friend liao. Then I'll wait for one more week as meatpao has adviced me to, then if Singapore don't have the complete set, I'll buy from her Taiwanese friend.

^Ok! then can I ask u to help me to order as well if SG ver. does not have?? Sry to trouble u.. :)

You would have to ask Karen, not me. Just talk to her on MSN. ;)

okok.. got it..
Now I shall pray for A COMPLETE liao.. lolz.

Well I'll start checking CD Rama everyday starting from tomorrow. LOL.

ok good.. Thanks anw. I can onli go n check out the cd stores on weekends =(

to be honest.. u all call so many times also no use.. cos it will not affect the end result of the A Complete on the shelves. if we are fated to not have a PB, calling whoever 100 times to dig out any info from them will not make any PB appear right?

So instead of calling and pestering them, i suggest u guys find a better way to secure urself A Complete with PB. :)

I'm still on the bothering Warner Music mission. I don't mind. You know, it's a mentality thing. If you keep on calling it would keep your mind occupied. At least you know for now, there's no news then you won't worry so much. Then if really don't have, like I said, I'll get it online.

You wouldn't understand if you aren't desperate and have not pre-ordered it yet.

^ then y not jus pre order and guarantee urself a PB and get to throw this issue out of ur mind.

you can den relax at home while waiting ur A complete to be delivered right to ur doorstep! :)

^ You just don't understand don't you? The point of creating this thread is to await it to come to Singapore~? This is not, OH LET'S PREORDER AND NOT CARE ABOUT IT BEING PUBLISHED BY WARNER KTHXBAI! This thread is created for a reason. We are people with difficulties.

I don't think you get why he's calling Warner. He's calling Warner because he wants to know if they are going to print the photobook or not, not to persuade them to print the photobook, and he also wants to know when they will put it on shelves. Not everyone can really order online anytime they want you know.

:yes yesyes.. good that meatpao understands.

I see u guys frantically call Warner but getting no results also upsets me what. You think i don't want u guys to get ur A complete ASAP?

I jus feel that by calling again and again asking them for info, but them giving u answers that are neither here nor there, might as well think of something else and not waste time on them anymore.

i can help u all order. haha. Perhaps it's just me. I am for efficiency.

He still doesn't understand. :no

We get your point. Yes. But you have to phrase it in a more sensitive way. Seriously. We really wished we could order it. But money is another issue here? We are waiting also partially to compare prices, just so you know, Warner might list it at a lower price.

thats why! there are so many "mights".

there "might" be a photobook.
there "might" be a poster.
SG ver "might" be cheaper.

What did Warner say after u called so many times? It's depressing isnt it? Call so many times yet they tell u "duno", "no details".

Never mind. You still don't understand. It's okay. ^^ Btw, you really should be sensitive to others' feelings. Kthxbai.

Back to the topic, I'm gonna call Warner tomorrow since Taiwan is gonna release A COMPLETE tomorrow also. Hopefully will have some news.

i sincerely hope that there will be good news when u call Warner tml. kthxbai.

T_________T

all these petty fights are not doing anyone good like seriously . I mean what do you gain from all these at the end of the day ?

ANYWAY ...

I'm probably the only 1 who doesn't really mind in waiting for A COMPLETE to be released here . I'm not sure why I'm feeling this way though

maybe because I'm not that excited over it as much as the rest since it's a compliation album & stuff

We are not fighting definitely. just a clash of views regarding the same issue.

I'll join you in not minding karen. My only concern is the photobook. If it releases without one, i'll order online like alternarist suggested or re-assess the value i place on it like is it worth the extra shipping cost or price mark-up as oppossed to the local version. I mean it's just a book with pictures of covers that didn't make the cut... Think i did badly on a test today. Somehow when real life gets in the way, the PB doesn't seem so important anymore.

it's always 1 of those moments , Elaine . I think the weather is not helping either , it was so humid yesterday :dead2

anyway the taiwan press of A COMPLETE's out today . I wonder how much my Taiwanese friend will quote me the price on , should I decide to buy from him assuming if there wouldn't be a photobook for the SG press

yeah yeah no fight please :D peace with each other.
but no matter wad is the outcome, i still hope they will publish the PB together with the CD package >< i wan emmmmmmmmmmmmmm' !

I called Warner today. They just received news but for some reason they say can't really tell because it might be different. Weird? But anyway, the person said most probably will be out in the next 2 weeks. Yay! <3

T_T

nabei , that's quite long :dead2

A COMPLETE is already released in Taiwan & my friend quoted me a price between US$27-US$30 inclusive of shipping

I don't know if I want to buy from him or not

Hey karen, that's (US$27-US$30) quite cheap isn't it?..it's just around $45 bucks, (compared to mine; i paid 80 bucks for the japan first press because i used EMS for super fast delivery but arrghh ;x )

Actually the pb ain't that great at all; some of the pictures are very very similar to the chosen covers, and some are really unsuited to be used as covers of singles. (tbh i do feel abit cheated, BUT i love the quality of the photobook.)

hmmm... hi~ sorry to bump in again,

i really hope it will be released faster, cause malaysia usually import from sg too... @_@ so i mu st wait longer than you all, unless malaysia's warner made themselves

wah that's ex dude , where did you buy it from ?

US$27-US$30 is the rough estimation price that my friend quoted & the price's inclusive of registered shipping (I think) & it's Taiwan press

If it's registered then it'd be great since it's so cheap mann. I think I'll just get this lor. Since it would come safely and it's actually affordable without the stupid stickers~ <3 Lol.

wa.. then now I'm struggling. 2 weeks is such a long wait man.. oh my.. =(

LOL , you & the clash of the PG censorship stickers

I think MDA's taking a long time in viewing all the contents in the DVD which probably attributes to this

I know & you thought Warner SG will change & mend its ways when they did that with GUILTY

anyway me & Jia Rong are gonna get the taiwan press of A COMPLETE from my Taiwanese friend Cliff since Cliff gave the both of us quite a good lobang + it comes with the photobook too :D & there's no telling whether the SG press will come with the photobook or not

somemore it just so happened that I'm going to purchase KAT-TUN & NEWS's singles from him too so ya

Prussian blue has to wait even longer than us. I think we should count our blessings. The taiwan price is quite good with the shipping included. I guess for those of you who can't wait, it's a good deal to purchase from karen's friend. I'm guessing the singapore price will be $30~32 seeing that AB2 was around $27 and had a whole concert in its DVD (white). So i'll wait. Wah karen how many johnny juniors do you yang3.

And I asked for normal mail. Don't wanna get registered mail. Might be quite troublesome. And it's cheaper too. ^^ Can't wait to receive it. Cliff is mailing it out on the coming Monday and I'll probably receive it on Satuday. Which is earlier than alternarist's copy :innocent

:roflmao

Elaine , what do you mean by the sentence in bold letterings ?

I support quite a lot of bands under JE inclusive of Senpai & Koukai groups

LOL , Jia Rong ....

@ Karen: CD japan =] Oh oh, $80~ SGD.

wah kau that's expensive :dead2 . You choose EMS as your choice of shipping option ?

^ Yep, but im veryy pleased with their efficiency and speed of delivery *thumbs up* and i think i will do the same for her future album/important releases...the most i will watch my friends eat and then go home for homecooked food for dinner/lunch to save more money lo :D

after wasting so much time of calling up Warner and stuff.. of cos u deserve to get ur copy, which someone got it for u eventually.

i dont mind having my copy later than others cos at least i noe i am getting it and i didnt waste my time on all the calling and stuff. You needa be patient boy.

I think supporting JE groups can get quite costly hor. My friend support kinki want to die already. But she crazy la, buy all the limited and normal editions and their individual projects. She used to support arashi also but not enough $$. And you support ayu too. But she buy all j-press.

Aiya alternarist, jiarong you all. Support the singapore economy mah. It may be cheaper and have everything you want. But now too late already. It's on it's way in a ship.

^ It will never have everything I want because they will include redundant stuff (stickers~)

yeah CDJapan's really efficient & good

Yes your friend's right & it's no joke supporting JE bands but thankfully most of my stuff are OS press . I only get Japan press only if stock's available in HMV & that're imported from Japan

EDIT - ok I decided to wait for A COMPLETE to be released here in S'pore cos frankly this's something that I don't mind to wait to get . If it doesn't come with the photobook then I will ask my Taiwanese friend Cliff for help instead

er how did the local press disappointed you Genie ? in terms of the speed/product/quality ?

I only consciously 'chased' ayu stuff post (m)u. I remembered secret came out like only 3 days after the j-press came out. I think they used to have an avex office here but it closed down sadly. Perhaps that's when the speed and efficiency declined. In terms of 'completion', my only issue was with Guilty when it didn't come with the photobook. That was quite disappointing. Hopefully the longer lag time between the j-press release and local release indicates that they are taking time to print the photobook as well.

Hey has out the TW box version been sold out? coz I saw the normal edition aka without the box

I don't think so Hui Min

you can still find quite a lot of them floating around ebay

Where did you see the TW normal version? Online or in taiwan itself? Darn my brother just got back from taiwan 4 days ago. I just realized i could have asked him to buy A Complete for me but it never occured to me then.

on ebay Elaine & even if you were to ask your brother , I think it's impossible since the Taiwan press of A COMPLETE was released 2 days on Fri

^Haha oh is it? I'll stop beating myself over it then.

Oh the normal version definitely pales to the box set. Never mind, no need to buy on e-bay. Just wait for the local press. Sure box set one. Somemore it's the standard version so it'll never run out.

I'm quite the box set will be included

it's only whether will the photobook's included or not

someone still remember me, i'm so touched :weep

lol even BF by namie havent sold in here :innocent i wonder if it takes about a year to arrive

^ Then why didn't you buy it when we were are HMV that time!? D:

lol sg sell it SGD25 sthg right? (not too sure) if yes, then its RM62, while most of the CD sold in malaysia is about RM58~60. i can save a bit money :D and do you know how frustrated that time when i bought your CD!? :laugh *no offend to you and not blaming you. that was my fault for not telling her* so if i buy another CD after that, you'll know what happen :D

^Namie's BF is selling at music junction stores for only $18.90. You shouldn't buy those widely available CDs at HMV because the price is normally higher. Yeah i'm 100% confident in the box set. I'm just trying to get people to buy the local version to save money especially on shipping. I buy J-press for dir en grey and gackt and i'm not sure how to distinguish sound quality but somehow the music sounds more condensed if that makes sense. My overseas press of ayu's CDs sounds quite loud and blaring whereas the j-press ones sound muted but in a good way. Even though i play it quite loudly, dir en grey for example, it doesn't hurt my ear drums.

^too bad, i always go to HMV all the time since they sell a lot of stuff. i need to take a look at the other shop, sounds really cheap!

If you only go around the town area, you can try sembawang at plaza singapura. Not sure about other sembawang, music junction or CD ramas in the area :P I don't go there to buy CDs. But they definitely offer ayu, kuu, namie and hikki CDs at lower prices than HMV. Recently, it seems that some of the more popular Johnny bands and oddballs like leah dizon are also sold in these stores. You can go check it out. But if you're looking for something like mr. children or j-rock bands then HMV is still the place to go.

BF is like everywhere in singapore, cus whenever i visit a music shop like cd-rama, sembawang or music junction, i will see BF...so prussian you should really buy it even though it's a lilll bit more expensive you've said.

Spend a abit more money = save ALOT of time looking for it in other country.

that's what I was told in that the Japan press are better in quality in terms of the paper & the sound

I can't tell the difference though maybe because the no. of OS presses that I have of my Jpop stuff outnumbers the no. of Japan presses that I have lol

I saw BF ad on TV!! not bad hahha...

sooo...is A COMPLETE OUT?

BF in HMV costs SG$21.95 which is just $1 more than CD-Rama. So it's not that expensive. ;)

^lol i should buy it there :weep

No but they imported the CD-only version from japan. It's selling for $64.95 in HMV so in a sense it's out :mischief

The casing for j-press CDs are very thick so it feels firmer, not so flimsy. My j-press MW feels heavier than OS presses of albums like My Story so possibly the casing is better. I'm really quite glad now that my MW came in the ordinary case considering how local stores are all selling the elongated version. I know it's a little sour grapes (because i didn't get j-press limited version in time) but i don't think many local fans have the fat case version :P

I have a question. How long will shipping take from Taiwan to Singapore? (Yes I know, Karen. I just can't wait.)

ditto what Genie has said . Cliff sent my copy of ARASHI's truth / Kaze no Mukou e Type B single last week on Mon & I got it on Fri

this means that I probably will get NEWS's Taiyou no Namida LE single & KAT-TUN's Keep the faith 1st press single this Fri then :D
