No I usually don't care. As long as I get the CD I'll be fine and happy.

no... these far i have bought only the Indonesian-press of Ayu CD... (A COMPLETE & GUILYTY @ $10)...
yeah.. always looking the cheapest one... (i don't work, i'm still a student, i hardly have money~ ) :D

sometimes...
it really depends on the artist

Sometimes...

Hm, sometimes.

Sometimes

I usually buy TW press because it's cheaper, but I'll only buy JP press when there isn't a TW press or when the TW press doesn't include free stuff like with JP press

I Buy JP for support only :D And maybe if there's special stuff in

sometimes.i usually will buy TW press.but i'll buy JP press if there is any special stuff that only JP press has like A Song for XX.
otherwise,i'll buy TW press

NOPE. as long as it's official & not a bootleg, then i don't really care. :shrug

though, i tend to buy JP presses when i can't wait for the OS press. :laugh

naah i dont really care, japanese press is always so expensive so id rather buy a cheaper one :P

For me the press matters when it comes to a new release. I love to have first press things (especially when they come with a photobook or poster :laugh). I am a collector but I started buying CDs to support the artist.
So generally I buy Japan Press for Japanese Artists, Korean Press for Korean Artists and so on.
Most CDs I buy are Ayu's or Kumi's, so the very most things I own are Japan Press :)
To be honest I just like Japan Presses more, too.. don't know why>.< Just feel happier when I get a japanese one (when there are more version available! I also feel happy when I get a korean release by a korean artist even though there is a Japan one).

It depends on the artist, usually. Gackt's and Ayu's releases I prefer to get JPN press, but for artists I'm not religious about I don't mind getting the OS press, like Koda Kumi, Ai Otsuka, and so on.

of course i only buy japanese press because they are the best quality , they count toward oricon and they are the " original "

Sometimes,if they came along with some excelent goodies or whatever, or else normally normal edition will actually satisfied me.

Depends on the item, usually I don't care. But if the item comes with a poster or something, I usually like it to be Japanese press that way the text on it is in that language.

JP Press. (I dont buy much) Since I'm a late j-pop fan, I cant get first press >_>
even for American albums, i'll be tempted to get jp press cuz theres more tracks and stuff :dead

this. (but I'm a tad leanient)

I try to get japan press whenever possible, (korean press for kpop items) but if I can't, then I go for overseas, I'm not a fan of chinese/taiwanese etc. presses.

that is so true.

sometimes!


for ayu and alan (my 2 fav jpop singers) of course it does!

but i dont mind getting different presses for namie, kuu and even meisa kuroki xD (never getting China press though... their quality is terrible D: )
