Warning for all Singapore Ayu fans who are getting Heaven
 

Everyone, before you all make a purchase for your copy of Heaven in Singapore, please remember to check for the Japanese lyrics insert!

I went to buy ayu's concert tour DVD today. Then I saw ayu's Heaven, so I decided to buy both. After I walked out of the store, I discovered that the single dun come with a Japanese lyrics insert. So I went back to the store and wanting to get a refund. But the guy went to check other copies and the same thing happen. THen I return the CD back but I was forced to get another CD, so $20 gone just like this !!! T_T!!!

So, before you pay for your copy, remember to check!

(By the way, the store is Popular CD Rama...)

Edit: Um... it seems that u all r nt very sure w wat I am tokin... mayb bcuz of my pharasing bah..

Um...
- 1stly, I had to top up to exchange Heaven for the pre-order

- 2ndly, you all r the customers and u all have all the rights in the world to check whatever you want to buy 1st, no matter which store you go to

- 3rdly, the Japanese lyrics is always avaliable, no matter which ever version you have bought, be it S'pore, Japan, HK,... ver

- 4thly, if you have got the single and discover the same problem, DEMAND A CHANGE IMMEDIATELY AT THE SHOP YOU HAVE GOT WITHIN 7 DAYS! (This is a very obvious manufacturing mistake!!!) and no matter which method of payment you have used.

Anyway, I shall wait till they realise this mistake then I'll get the single...

Edit No. 2: I have got the email from popular tt I can get the refund alrdy! Yay!!! but... this wkend...? (Wth, I am having my v impt promotional examination nxt wk and I haven't prepare for it... got to get retain alrdy... Haizzz...)

^ WHAT!!! You bought another CD for the Japanese lyrics? I think you should force the guy to give you a refund, its your rights as a paying customer and a user. Mine is always imported from Japan or Taiwan, no probs! (I'm from M'sia, hehe..)

wow yea buy an import then

hmm thanx for the warning ^^ if u buy the japan version then u wun have the translation lyrics which I personally think it is a MUST HAVE in the single so that I can understand de song more. Instead of just listening to the song and looking at unfamiliar japanese words =.="

Think I wun be paying nets for it then ahha if not I dunoe how they're going to refund me. Is that why they cant refund you?

Do you think there's a problem with all the stock in Singapore? Anyway I'd rather buy from Sembawang, about $2 cheaper..

buy from HMV :>
hehehee

Haha, thanks for the warning! Geez ... I wouldn't want to waste my money like that. But HEY! How can they do this to you? I mean it only MAKES SENSE for you to be able to refund the product!

Yucks, CD RAMA drools ... Why are they so EVIL? This so doesn't make sense for me ... you should have pressed in and demanded a refund! It's a faulty product! How can they do this! *furious* *writing letter of complaint to CD RAMA* Again ... you should have used a $20 Popular Voucher as a gift from a friend ... hehe, in that way, at least you won't be so agonized!

ALL THE BEST in your next purchase!

Thats how I bought Ayu's DUTY, got it for RM19.90! :D Dirt cheap.

oh its out already? tts surprisingly fast. i like to get my dics from sembawang music. dunno why. heh. thanks for the warning!

oh.. so u exchanged the cd for another one with similar value?? yeap. 20 down the drain..

No lar... I got another CD, actually, I have got the pre-order of the S.H.E's soundtrack which I didn't really want lar (should have gotten Maia's album instead). But I got that because I am still waiting for the chance to get back some kind of monetary style refund like vouchers. I just email popular this afternoon to complain.

Yah, I think it is just released today...

Anyway, here's the price of the DVD in Singapore
HMV: $45+ if I am not wrong
Sembawang: Around $40
CD-Rama: $38+ (the cheapest, tt's y I went there)

Anyway, I really think that there's a problem with all the copies of Heaven in Singapore, doesn't anyone knows who is importing her release nowadays in Singapore, heard that it's not music street anymore.

By the way, the CD cost $15.90, and I had to top up $4 to get tt S.H.E preorder.

You used "lar" too many times there.. ^^ Just joking.. We use "lah" instead, its even gramatically correct! :D Lets skip the grammar..

You got a free pre-order because of Popular's mistake? Thats ok right? Popular here takes a damn long time to receive Ayu CDs so I buy from an independent music store that imports all CDs and I get Ayu for RM39 (album), RM29(single+dvd), RM23(single). Cheap huh?! I love that shop so much and I've been buying my Ayu CDs there since I started out as a fan! :luv2

And nice to meet you, haven't seen you around before! ^^

Oh my.... my copy of HEAVEN has the same problem...
Most shops in Singapore doesnt have the refund system lolx.... gonna dink of what to change for =.="

wad?! so expensive!!! $45 FOR DVD!! even arena tour is cheaper...

I'm considering getting HEAVEN even though I usually don't buy singles, because I like the remixes on them. I'm thinking of asking the salesgirl to let me check the inside first, do you think it'd be possible? :s

^the only way you're doing that is through Tower Records.. Popular never allows trials or listens or whatevers that may help customers.. Their CD cases are almost always damaged.. My Natalie Imbruglia White Lilies Island..:weep I recommend HEAVEN and FAIRYLAND singles for the remixes!!! ^^ STEP YOU DJ TAKI-something's remix is really good!

If I get it I'm going to Sembawang Music... cheaper there :p So I'm wondering has anyone tried it there?

There's a huge possibility I'll get it if I have the cash... but if there's no lyrics booklet then big no-no.

sembawang is damn cheap!!!!!! i saw ARENA TOUR 2003 DVD at sembawang for only 18.90

well, I am just waiting for my HK version from yesasia ^^

EDIT:anyone gets the preorder of Stefanie's new album "A Perfect Day" lah? :D

Usually, you should have checked whether is there anything lost. But I suspect that you might be buying Local Version (i,e printed in Singapore) and therefore something might be missing.

Since it's gotta be cheap in releasing local version, something has to be cut. Hence the mising japan lyrics.

Or there's something wrong with the dealer.

It sounds crazy not having Japanese lyrics printed! It's a MUST for ALL Japanese releases!

... I mean I need 2 pay 2 get the pre-order (merchandise xchange... it sucks...)...

Yeah. I usually go to Tower Records in KLCC, Mid Valley or One Utama to get Japanese CD. I have to wait at least three weeks after the official release in Japan to get those. I went to One Utama usually to get the cheaper one. There's so many independent music stores in One Utama. Movie Magic is one of my favourite store there because they sell Ayumi's cds cheaper. I bought those cds between RM26-RM30 each. I bought my copy of No way to say there for RM26. :D

hmmz... lucky i haben bought it yet!!! phew! thanx for telling us =)

my HEAVEN has no booklet....
 

here's the story, last monday (10/03) i went to world of music, a CD store where i buy my ayu stuff, and THEN there i found HEAVEN (CD+DVD) on sale already, i was happy and i straightly bought it,

so i walked out happily out of the store, on to the food court, there -while my friends were having their lunch- i was too excited to eat, so i opened my HEAVEN CD, i took the CD out to my walkman and started listening,

and THEN when i opened the box again, i was looking for the BOOKLET, and i realised it wasn't there, THE BOOKLET IS NOT THERE, the CD's there (in my walkman), the DVD's there just fine, the obi's there too, but the BOOKLET isn't.

and i panicked, i asked the w.o.m ppl but neither of them had a good explanations about it; 'oh maybe it's shipping prblm', or even worse 'what's a BOOKLET?', i was totally disppointed, it's not their fault anyway, it's the packaging ppl's faults that is!

HOW CAN THOSE PPL FORGET TO PUT THE BOOKLET????!!!
AND WHY DO THEY FORGET TO PUT IT IN MY CD???!

and then i got myself trapped in a bad mood all afternoon;
no booklet...
no lyrics...
no photos whatsoever...

all that's there is a paper where the chinese lyrics are written,
I CAN'T READ CHINESE!

:yfrown

:tfrown

:cry

i'm so sad...
i just wanna share this with you, because none of my friends understand how a booklet could mean so much!

:cry

ya... overseas version of HEAVEN doesnt include the booklet for some reasons... my HEAVEN also has the booket missing... but its not so important to me... but i still understand u feelings...

It's not the end of the world.

^Yeah it isn't, but have more sympathy. Lyrics booklet does mean a lot to some people.

omg..poor you, just like me when I bought "STEP you/is this LOVE?", they aren't forget the booklet but the booklet's printing were very blurry, I can't even read a letter there, so I send it back to exchange it, and I got a new clear printed booklet.. what a relief..! maybe you can try to exchange it, if that store support an exchange when there is damage from the publisher of course

My OS cd+dvd version HAS a booklet!! the hong kong version has a booklet, an ad for the recent avex releases, the chinese translation of the lyrics and the obi. everything is in place!!

i bought the japanese version of the cd and what's the little card in there from Avex...the points thing? do i use it when i buy something else?

haha! it's a little funny about ur situation....but think of it this way: if u DID have the booklet, u still wouldn't be able to read it....unless u r japanese/ kno how to read japanese?

Merging threads...

MINE ALSO LACKS A BOOKLET!!! I JUST BOUGHT IT AN HOUR AGO!!! But I'm not complaining because I get CDs cheap.. It still feels so sad though.. NO REFUNDS FROM AVEX?

for those in singapore musicstreet has replied!!!

You can exchange the single either through the cdshop or through us by coming down to our office. But before you go to the cdshop, you must let us know first so that we can inform the cd shop in advance. I hope I answer your question. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

THAT'S MINE! I GOT A MISSING BOOKLET TOO (i even made a thread for this)
poor me....
