It's just terribly weird that they probably sent it out last night but its already been 24hours and its still not in my country. the status shown was "Dispatch from outward office of exchange". I checked other orders and after this status, it'll show the arrival at the inward ffice. Im guessing and praying it'll arrive tmr and probably I'll get it by Christmas or Christmas eve :)

it took them 1days and 17 hours to ship from Japan to Malaysia last week.I can imagine that this weeks' condition will be worst than last week as this weekend is xmas already.

Srsly, the USB package is very ugly. Why grey inside?

Pieces_of_SEVEN 22nd December 2010 02:53 AM

^^I was wondering that myself too. I don't mind it though.

My Rainbow 22nd December 2010 03:07 AM

can any of you upload a HQ rip in MP3 of the album?

mellody 22nd December 2010 03:19 AM

Can you tell me the resolution of .aiff format in USB?
Is it more than 10,000 pixels?

Also, YesAsia still have USB version of the album in Limited stock, maybe anyone still interested~

EDITED:
Oops, sorry it seems .aiff is audio format, so what is the format of the picture?

You should AT LEAST display it somewhere around your house, I don't know, under the Christmas tree or even on top of it? Next to little baby Jesus Christ??

To protect all of the materials inside. The flaps of the digipak or whatever have extra photos on them, so I'm not complaining.

there's no picture in the USB edition, being WAV files, you can't add cover art

I totally agree! She went all out with this album!

I'm so sad though... My MP3 player doesn't allow me to add the USB data on it ; ;... And I'm having trouble tagging it!

I'm watching the makings of of Last Angel and Love song, and either ayu is the greatest actress in the world, or her and Manny really are in love...

yeah, the USB doesnt have mp3s, it has WAV files. They won't go on my iPod either :(... If you copy paste them out of the USB you should be able to edit the tags though.

lilchan 22nd December 2010 05:17 AM

I just need Ayu to clear up my confusion with her PVs...

freedreamer 22nd December 2010 05:29 AM

I really wonder where on earth is my album...
all of you are making me sooooo anxious hahaha

lumieregrl 22nd December 2010 05:33 AM

^ I have a feeling we might get ours at the same time. XD

freedreamer 22nd December 2010 05:44 AM

^im actually tracking mine on tracking.post.japanpost and...i just saw the update that there are some shipments that have arrived at Singapore at 5hours ago. That doesnt include mine because mine isnt updated. Those were shipped out 2.5hours earlier than mine. I hope it just means its nearing...i see more and more Southeast asian countries receving their shipments.

btw, are you able to track urs? any idea where it is?

SURREAL__RAINBOW 22nd December 2010 05:46 AM

mine is in the truck for delivery!!! OMFG!!!! come home to papa already!! :cry

Yea, I've been tracking mine through both Japan Post and USPS...they both say it's at the "inward office" in New York. I'm guessing I will get it tomorrow or the day after. *crosses fingers*

O..at least urs is at the inward office..mine is...still at "dispatched from the outward"..what does that mean..lol.
I wonder how often they update the site. Because i swear I checked it at 10-11 JPN time but it wasnt updated till now. So...Hopefully mine is somewhere near or something...just not updated. Wll check later :)
I think Singapore should dispatch it from the inward office once it comes...lol..small country

lumieregrl 22nd December 2010 06:04 AM

Anyone knows if CDJ´s Registered airmail is only trackable within Japan? (I know the Registered SAL my middleman always takes is only trackable in Japan)
I rly rly hope mine will arrive till Friday, because it´s my christmas present from me to me^^

freedreamer 22nd December 2010 09:38 AM

So..who used EMS and have gotten their album..and wth...Im one of the rare few on Japan post that has the status STILL at "Dispatch from outward office of exchange". Their speed is becoming really ridiculous

seems like they really update it only 2-3hours after something has happened zzzz

currently, its as though this is a kpop material that JUST came out on the day it was supposed to yet I cant listen to it...feels kinda pathetic

At least you're closer to Japan, I'm in Norway so I think it takes a lot more time. Plus it's Christmas which doubles delivery times! >.<

You're lucky. I'm with FedEx and still haven't received it.

The website said I would receive it 2 hours ago, now I'll forgive them for being a few hours late of course :laugh but unfortunately I've got exams in an hour so I hope it arrives, like, now. Otherwise I have to wait until tomorrow.

I know I'm spoiled this time, though. This is the first time I'm using FedEx instead of the regular cheap airmail, so I also know what it's like to wait much longer.

I sort of just assumed delivery to Singapore would be wuicker then to Norway, since Norway is a lot farther away. =P

Btw, it's still in the outward exchange-thingy -_-

They told me by 1030 yesterday morning, but the time was wrong, it wasn't delivered until about 6pm.

Woah, Ayu worked with some big names for this album, it seems. Though they did make a few typos... I wonder if Jaycen Joshua is the reason why Like a doll has a bit of a Western feel to it. He also mixed Dream ON.

Interesting note: Takehito Shimizu was one half of HAL. I wonder what exactly happened to HAL as a duo then? The other half of HAL, Toshiharu [HAL] Umezaki has reformed HAL it seems and they now work on rearranging classical music. http://www.garage-classics.com/creator.html

Is HAL as we knew them gone for good?!

freedreamer 23rd December 2010 02:06 AM

^whose Jaycen Joshua? Yea, i see a lot of western names but Im not too familiar with them. and LOL.."Boys & Girls" in Thank U..hahaha! for a moment i was thinking "eh? she used Boys & Girls?" (though that would be a cool idea)

truehappiness 23rd December 2010 02:08 AM

He's a mixer who has worked with Katy Perry, Beyonce, and Rihanna among other famous pop artists, I think.

I've checked FedEx tracking and they said my parcel is Int'l shipment release and then In transit. Oh gosh ;___; I hope to get my album tomorrow.

TITANIC 23rd December 2010 04:03 AM

quite boring to see most of the songs composed by TK but he is genious. I love Thank U the most

do it again 23rd December 2010 04:08 AM

I love FedEx so much! I will never have to be worried about missing a delivery again. I can just walk 10 mins to the FedEx location near me to pick it up. :) And I love that it updates the tracking every step of the way!

Yukitora 23rd December 2010 06:51 AM

I don't expect to get my copy til January (I picked registered air mail haha). But I don't mind :) I'm choosing not to look at booklet photos and Ls+La PVs so theres still some surprise left in store for me :D Also which alternate cover I get!

LacusClyne 23rd December 2010 06:52 AM

seriously after listening to the songs so many rounds, i find myself disliking [do it again] more and more... the repetive english lines irritates me.

i wish ayu don't just put english there because she wants to put english, it's just out of place. stick with all the japanese words.
Like what deli said, if we are happy watching a panda doing it's thing, i don't like having the panda waving at me just because it know that i'm watching it. (>_<)
please ayu, i know you love everyone, but please don't trying to please us by putting some english, it feels weird.. i thought my nightmare with RAINBOW album was over, but no.... i almost scream when i kept hearing the neverending 'dance dance dance...sing sing sing....'

on the other hand, i like the other songs.
Love songs and sending mail are love at first sight, while Like a doll and November give me the feel that they will grow on me.
While Thank U is just okay, if only there aren't sooooo many 'lalalalala'

and of coz, i already love the singles tracks, so i have zero complaints about them.
Except that SDW live version feels different, i remember she sung the last part in acapella when i was there???

overall, i really like this album.
8/10, minus 2 points because of 'do it again', so ayu, please don't do it again!

Pieces_of_SEVEN 23rd December 2010 07:21 AM

So um...OK, the CD+DVD first press all come with the same alternate cover, right?
So, where's the other alternate cover? Somewhere in the CD only? I haven't taken the plastic off my CD only, so I'm not sure...lol

truehappiness 23rd December 2010 07:32 AM

The CD+DVD covers are random between two different covers. One has a full body shot of Ayu and her legs, and the other is of a semi side-profile of her face.

I doubt she did it for overseas fans, but rather because sing sing sing / dance dance dance do it again didn't sound right in Japanese.

jbrat2219 23rd December 2010 07:35 AM

^ I agree... I don't think Ayu sits around and thinks how her lyrics can be appealing to English-speakers. She most likely does it because she wants to.

truehappiness 23rd December 2010 07:40 AM

Imagine it was like...

odoru odoru odoru mata yarou
odoru odoru odoru mata yarou
odoru odoru odoru mata yarou

utau utau utau mata yarou
utau utau utau mata yarou
utau utau utau mata yarou

Oh dear, haha. It's interesting to note that a campaign ran on Japanese subways with a few posters that said "Please, do it again."

Yaay mine arrived at tenso~ But I'll wait for TA magazine to arrive as well, then I can ship it all together and save some cash. So guess I won't hear the full album till Jan. :P

freedreamer 23rd December 2010 11:58 AM

:)
Love song is just mindblowing at the moment...O.O
