LOL :laugh

I think the glittery shiny part's only for the slipcase I guess since my copies of HEART & WISH all come with 1

looks great! thanks for posting the pics :D

The cover is so sparkly and shiny! I want! :D

yo S'poreans *points to Jun Xiang especially haha* , the HK press of DREAM (CD + DVD) is already on sale from today onwards :D

I saw it earlier on at CD Rama

it's going for S$18.95 while for HMV , it's S$22.95

I'm going to get it tomorrow & hopefully scans will be up for the album in due time

It's weird that at the back of the album , they put ENDLESS STORY as the bonus track o_O (I know it should be groovy x2 as the hidden/bonus track) & the PG sticker's at the back HOORAH

^ ENDLESS STORY? O_o But thank God the sticker is at the back; Sony almost always have the best sticker spots lol! And it's really cheap too!

ya I saw ENDLESS STORY at the back Jun Xiang , I was going o_O too & yup thank goodness the PG sticker's at the back & not in the front

I will be getting it soon

ENDLESS STORY? No that makes no sense. Maybe it's an error? :shrug

^Singapore special? Lol

Lol maybe. But I still find that weird.

Better choice than having two versions of Koi wa groovy x2.

I called Sony BMG a few days ago & they told me that they imported DREAM from Hong Kong , same thing as what they did for WISH & HEART

they never produce her albums locally unlike Ken Hirai

I don't know why

Back of Taiwan press for DREAM :

http://i381.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/DSC02968.jpg

they didn't even state the hidden track (the Japan press's probably the same like Taiwan's) so I suspect it's an error on Sony BMG HK's part

^ Well hidden tracks are supposed to be hidden, Karen. ^^;;

LOL :laugh

yup I guess so too Jacky . That's what happened to ayumi's I am ... too

flower garden wasn't printed on the back of the tracklist

I got my copy of DREAM already :heart

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...n/DSC01096.jpg

& yup the CD content did contain ENDLESS STORY as a bonus track after I popped the CD inside my computer to rip the songs from there & transferring them to my mp3player

If I'm not mistaken , the Taiwan & Japan press doesn't have ENDLESS STORY as a bonus track

I have uploaded scans of the album via my jpop scans thread & hopefully during the weekend , I can upload the PVs that I ripped from DREAM's DVD for you guys :D

if you love the DREAM pics you probably want this

http://www.yesasia.com/global/ito-yu...0-en/info.html

I'm gonna buy it :luv2
and the CD only of the album :love


+ I'm so glad that the CD only is only 10€ in yesasia (korea ver.)

Aww so no Goobi Goobi for you Singaporeans? Great you got the CD+DVD version and yes please when you get the chance upload the making clips.

:laugh this made me lol!

Really? I wasn't sure if it was funny enough.

LMAO

sorry Mishelle I didn't add earlier on that for track #11 Body , it strings together Body & yes groovy x2

my bad

so essentially if you order the HK press from YesAsia or HMV HK , you will get ENDLESS STORY as a bonus track & I don't think you will get it if you buy the Taiwan or Japan press (not that I know of anyway)

I'm still in the midst of converting the VOB files of the DVDs to avi . They're HUGE @_@

I need to use usaupload if not I have to spilt the files up with HJ Spilt

Yay! Goobi Goobi!

Sorry I just really love that song now more than ever. lol

]

I don't think so either someone would have said something.

It's cool take your time.

groovy x2 - :roflmao

I did texted Meat Pao / Travis about the ENDLESS STORY issue & he said that his copy that he ordered from CDJapan doesn't have it

I checked my Taiwanese friend Cliff's ebay shop which he's selling it & ENDLESS STORY's absent from the tracklist too

must be an exclusive thing within Hong Kong only or something

well maybe I just laugh too easily :D

I just decided (looking trough yesasia again :laugh) that I'll order Precious, heart, dream and dream poster :D

@ nemesisyume - sorry I forgot to say that I really like that DREAM poster that YesAsia's selling

too bad shipping's horrible T_T

oh yeah and about the dream album
does it have like a case thing... umm... like ayus A BEST first press

Maybe cuz all know how much they love ENDLESS STORY. Does anyone here know the link for the Hong Kong charts? I wanna see how DREAM is doing there. She seemed to be VERY popular there.

yes it has a slipcase , just like for the CD + DVD's of HEART & WISH

except this time round , the slipcase cover for DREAM's the same one being used when I take out the slipcase . It was different for HEART & WISH when you take out the slipcases , you will see the CD only's covers

erm I suppose so Mishelle

& this's my friend Cliff's ebay shop which he's selling DREAM - http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/Ito-Yuna-J-PO...3A1%7C294%3A30

xD so yup no ENDLESS STORY on there & I paid S$22.95 for my copy which's really affordble + it has a DVD too :heart

^so it's just the DVD versions?

I think so

I'm not sure for the CD only's of her albums on whether did they came with slipcases , I can't help you on that sorry

From what I know only CD+DVD versions get a slipcase :( 'Cuz HEART and WISH's CD Only versions didn't come with a slipcase while the CD+DVD versions came with a slipcase so I guess that's the way it is :shrug

^aww damn :thud
so if I order the DREAM CD+DVD hong kong version so it has a slipcase?
not just japan ver.

Japan press , there's *points to Travis's copy

& omg the CD + DVD press is already outta print on CDJapan :thud - http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=SRCL-7056

that didn't happened for WISH's - http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=SRCL-6733

this is getting very confusing...

maybe I should just order the CD+DVD japan press :laugh

I know! I'll do a mega order to yesasia! :laugh
250€ to yesasia!
bye money :laugh ...

Nononono Hong Kong Press CD+DVD comes with the slipcase as well xD

You even get a bonus ENDLESS STORY if you order the HK Press :laugh

yup get the HK press from HMV HK or YesAsia , you get ENDLESS STORY which you will not do so if you buy Japan press

& also it depends on whether can you play region code 3 DVDs on your computer too

DREAM's down to #20 this week ICK with 6,987 copies :dead2

total sales so far - 33,502

I guess this time round STUDIOSEVEN Recordings decided to print less copies of DREAM

it'll be lucky if it can get certified Gold just like WISH man :(

OH nice ! then I'll get the hong kong press :laugh

yay for bonus ENDLESS STORY :roflmao

what? DREAM only 33,502? why don't the ones that are actually awesome and made of win have good sales :thud

sales are getting worst in Japan as each year goes by

I guess Yuna's not even spared in this context

How did DREAM sell 33,502? I get 26,515.

Lol, ENDLESS STORY was bonus track now~ Hahah

oh sorry calculation error on my part Mishelle

ahaha yeah now I know why so Jun Xiang -_-

===

I just saw the Making of segment that I ripped from my DREAM DVD .

It's basically a collage of making of scenes from miss you , Koi wa groovy x2 & trust you with Brand New World being played at the backdrop

I will be uploading the PVs that I ripped from her DREAM album over the weekend so hopefully you can wait for that to happen

DREAM is selling worse than trust you :cry

It's bad when a single does better than an album. -_-''

yeah it's ironic

she's starting to fall into the Johnny's trap where the singles sell better than the albums T_T

I managed to rip all the contents from the DVD of DREAM via http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1979273

like finally :D

Has anyone seen this?

^Yeah, that was from last year, just after WISH was released.

I almost gave up ripping/uploading the PVs & making from DREAM's DVD but I'm so glad that I stick to it haha

it's quite worth it doing so

the link - http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1979273

Thanks Karen!

Thanks KarenPang. Can you tell me please how does the booklet look like? I mean is it pretty? ^^ Does it have the same pics as those HQ ones that were posted before?

I scanned everything up with regards to my copy of DREAM which you can download it via my jpop scans thread - http://ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88927

some of the photos that were used in the booklet , we have seen before while others nope

^Oh, thank you so much! I never knew you did this,lol. Do you think that the CD only ver also has the same booklet?

er I'm not sure for that sorry but I have a feeling it's a yes ?

I have all of Yuna's albums & they're all CD + DVD's so I cannot comment so much on the CD only's booklets

I have both versions of WISH and the booklet pics are the same. But there's a slight difference though - some CD+DVD pictures have a brown border around them and the CD Only doesn't, not sure why :shrug

oh no.

how's the sales now?

Ok then. Thank you for answering. I won't bother you guys with these questions anymore :)

^
^From what I know it only sold 26k in the first 2 weeks, not sure what are the sales for the third week though. But frankly I don't see the album passing 35k at all and trust you sold 45k :(

:(

it will be lucky on DREAM's part to get certified Gold by RIAJ but I doubt it might happen :(

It most definitely won't be certified Gold.

this's so depressing :(

especially if you compare the sales between HEART , WISH & then now DREAM T_T

A hard dilemma. Amazing album sales but the album sucks or rather disappointing sales but a good album. Hmmm.

oh I can make a list on singles & albums that have sucky sales but the material's simply ACE

DREAM's definitely on the list & that goes for Koi wa groovy x2 too

^Perhaps the sales could have been better if GATE was included... even if its just a Bonus track, then as a recut single afterwards. No news about her recently? I just bumped into this thread and sadly, i noticed that its been so inactive.

Unfortunately there are no news on Yuna yet...

^and mysteriously, her site is not loading... uhh. and by the way, unlike the first time i heard it, i find myself enjoying BAILA BAILA right now! Its fun i guess... good song while playing around the BEACH! LOL

What single is GATE on? Everyone seems to rave about that song but I'm too lazy to go find what single it's on xD

^Unfortunately, it hasn't been released in any Single or Album yet... and that's the reason why WE are craving for it! LOL

^ Oh XDD So it's just a song title? Or is it unreleased?

^She only performed it on a TV show or something. :(

^And it's a beautiful song. T_T. REALLY BEAUTIFUL XD. until now, there hasn't been any news or even just a hint/clue that it'll be released someday...

I know , that blows big time

From her wikipedia page :

a full version of GATE never surfaced at all , just a preview only which's a big pity

but that one performance yuna did of the song was full :P

Probably GATE doesn't fit in Dream era , and she moves it to her next era.

I'd be surprise if Sony gives her a chance for a new era. But if Avex kept Hitomi Shimatani I don't see why Sony won't keep her.

Woah. So that's it? I just kept wondering last night. If it's for a movie, then, its possible that it was also included on the OST. Or just a BG Song playing during the credits.. uhm.. i don't know how'd you call that... when,the movie is finished... and the names.. blah blah. XD

Why doesn't Yuna transfer to Avex?
The quality of so many artist's work (and their sales) got better when they hit Avex Trax.
I think it could truly save her career.

^That's what I'm hoping for. It seems many artists that transfers to a different label does better than they did with Sony. ABK47 and May J. are great examples of this.

er sorry I think it will be a BAD idea imo

her music quality might drop big time & even though I have a feeling more quantity of her music will be released , there's always quality in question that you might wonder

It's not to her to decide that! Avex have to give its agreement!

whats up with yuna??
long time no visit this thread

Nothing as far as I know!

i hope she'll have a new single by the end of the year :P

Why didn't she go on tour? Or is she on tour?

i don't even think there's a tour for DREAM. i only remember her having a tour for HEART.

it's true. There are a tour of HEART! But I just noticed, she don't have a tour of Wish? O.o

Unfortunately not, she only had a tour for HEART. I wonder why she doesn't go on tour so often :(

STUDIOSeven Recordings probably spent the $ on other artistes under their label that they feel deserves it more than Yuna ? :shrug

even if so it's really sad

I guess so... i mean, if they are really considerate about YUNA's sales or career, they should've put up a new marketing strategy or... smthing like that...

Guys I was watching this video on youtube and they had shown Yuna's dairy and in it she wrote "This is my last audition" then it show "I have an audition with Sony".

It made me sad because if she never got signed she would have never became a singer, even though it was her dream since she was little.

Now I'm worried because if she gets dropped or released from her contract I wonder if she's going to go to a next label or just "retire".

i doubt she'll retire, and i don't think sony are that dumb to drop her. some artists would kill to get some of her sales, despite them not being so high :P

I agree with you 100% about the sales. And I hope she doesn't retire she still has a lot to offer.

She has such a great voice, it's a shame Sony doesn't promote her more. Maybe they're out of ideas on how to market her?

I think I need to rebuy her Dream album. I dropped the CD in the train and now there's a huge scratch on the disc. =(.

that & maybe they're focusing a lot more on other artistes on their label at the mo :innocent

ouch

can it still be played ? :shrug

Yuna will be fine. I really do doubt STUDIOseven would drop because of decreased sales. Her management had to know the NANA fever wouldn't last forever and being mostly associated with it, her sales would take a hit. Also, no record company likes losing an act; the emotional aspects that are involved and the ones that could be are pretty heavy.
