PCDL in Singapore
 

lolz.. cool though. Is it out here yet?? or sometime nx week?? just guessing.. Hope the PG sticker better be at the back.

Hmm I think it will take 1 or 2 weeks?
Or even longer, since there's some quality issue with the hk version[the subtitles], and they are taking back the old batch and replace with another

icic..... is anyone here buying? I'm still considering though..

most probably near the end of June..:grumpy

On Ayu's face :D

Jokes aside, I HOPE they'll paste the eew sticker on the back, or one of the rainbow stripes at the front... just not anywhere on her face or body... zzz

LOL! 1, 2 weeks?!?! *roll eyes*

It's 2-3 months! :yes

^ Unfortunately, yes.

And also, I heard they're taking back the old batch of HK press PCDL DVD to replace them with those that have better quality, subs that can be turned off, etc.

We MIGHT have to wait even longer cos of that. :thud

=.=
not funny at all Avex HK...
geeezzz...this is one CDL i look forward to the most

I think they're removing the subs totally. Because if subs can be turned on/off, the quality would be worst because more space is needed for this function. So it'd probably take forever. I don't get the issue though. My Taiwan version is perfectly alright even with the subtitles. Sure, the quality might be a LITTLE worst, but it's still watchable as long as you watch it afar. Like you know, in your living room, where your sofa is of some distance away from the TV, that kinda thing. For me, I watch it at my room, on my bed. Probably the HK version is worst than the Taiwan version? :shrug

That's actually kinda possible. :P

Ermmm if the editor is pro enough which i suppose he shd, the subs doesnt actually needs extra space. they can be overlay on top of the video.

OMGLOL I REALLY don't want to see the sticker on her face... I would probably burn all the PCDLs in that store or something... :no

And yeah, subs can be overlayed on the video itself... I hope there are subs so that I can turn them on during the documentary.

has there been any threads providing subtitles for PCDL? have been waiting but don't seem to see any~

heard that there is a slip case right??

^a slip case??? wow...

^Isn't that how it normally is? I think it'll be out by the end of June. I don't care if the subs are on a separate sheet or the screen itself, just get it released already!

omg i happy happy for awhile when i saw this thread coz i tot pcdl out alr lol ._.

this time exception ba. i dun mind waiting for the new batch of dvds to come!! =D

slipcase?its not like the current JP version casing right?wonder how it looks like.never seen a slipcase before T_T

Lol!! These threads normally start with people anticipating when the overseas version will be released in Singapore and members will give updates on their harassment of Warner and various CD shops.

Nvm... they can take as long as possible... I'm saving my money this time..

Pretty~~

I feel like getting one whenever I saw these beautiful picts of PCDL.. awww..

From the trailers, it looks like a lot of heart and budget has gone into it's making. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy.

my patience is running out...even though its merely a week since the OS release

@ SolarAngel : ahh ic! haha!! harassment of those cd shops LOL!!

pray pray pcdl dvd come faster hahaha!

oh yay another S'pore 'meet up' thread xD

this time , I"m not going to get the PCDL DVD . I have other things to buy & that I don't have much time to watch DVDs now as what I'm able to do so in the past

the worst thing's I will treat my DVDs like white elephants after I have watched them which's BAD

Erm, what about those singles you buy? It seems even more like a white elephant cos most single tracks appear in albums :P

^lolz. that is also quite true.

xD xD I got your SMS just now thanks . I text you when I want to borrow your copy in due time :yes

ya I know that's why I'm selling quite a lot of them now LMAO

any info at all abt it coming???

I'm so free now, it would be a PERFECT time for me to watch concerts. Here's hoping for end of June.

did anyone buy the asia tour 2008? i didnt... but i want to buy the PCDL... and itslike....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Random...but can I ask why there is a PG sticker? :S

because there's a censorship board in S'pore

you don't have that in Japan or Taiwan for that matter

because of this , all DVDs have to be screen in here via the censorship board

^ Oh...I see. :S

which is also the reason why ayu japan press albums and singles don't come with DVD here... i still don't understand... what's there to censor?

Wait, why is PCDL PG? It'd just be a U here, there's no adult lyrical content and no adult themes? :s

GREAT NEWS TO SINGAPOREANS!!!

PCDL WILL ARRIVE IN STORES TMR!

Email from Sembawang:

IM SO EXCITED!!! WOOTS

yay!! i want my PCDL DVD!!

Oh..we have:

U = universal
G = Guidance
PG = Parental Guidance
PG-13 = Parental Guidance 13 years of age.
15
18
X

the dvd is gonna be such a treat once im done with revising stats... zzzzz

omg its here!!!!!!!!! SOOO GOING TO BUY IT!!!!!! so buying it from sembawang music and cdrama and hmv makes no difference i hope.

is the asia tour 2008 worth buying? i watched it before, i didnt think it was worth buying.....

japan press don't come here because of the code 2, as most players can't play code 2.
Years ago, hmv do take in some code 2 DVD for the market. But, there had been some fools who bought at hmv heeren without checking it, and demands a refund, but hmv can't do that, as the disc aren't damage or anything. Thus, they never bring in the dvd anymore, unless you pay a deposit and ask them to import in.

you are so wrong, it is worth buying!!!! Which version did you watch before? was it the TV version? it had been cut and the camera angles aren't that great, and that was the last concert in Japan. It's different from the DVD.
you should really see the special acapella lives from all stops, it's awesome! Ayu's vocals are great, except that she forgot some of the lyrics, it's so cute of her, rolling her eyes in the air.

noi watched it online. is there two different versions of asia tour 2008? like the Asia tour 2008, and Asia Tour 2008 Live in Taipei?

or is there just one version.

i think her last year's one is better. ^^

but the one sold in the market is from the TW and not in JP one right

then i'll skip asia tour 08 then. PCDL isnt much to censor right? ^^ so i'll buy PCDL then~

any news about it in stores????

So the quality is fixed? Can anyone confirm it?

i called Hougang Mall's CDRAMA..and the person just told me no.
i just wished they even CHECKED?...people working in this industry shouud noe their goods...zzzzz

and i dunno what happened to Sembawang music...its like....only 7 outlets in Singapore currently? almost inaccessible...yet i got the news that it will be released today from them.. =.=

so we should wait for a week to see if anything happens? CD rama girls( i mean young girls) are hurrible too. the last time i asked for PCDL she gave me this rude "WTF are you talking about" face. irritating. but most aunties at popular/cdrama are very nice. ^^ she's an exception.

neh, she's just a temp. and obviously she isnt singaporean......

so no news on it? i might buy it tomorrow or on sunday, if i did then i'll post here~

I BOUGHT IT!!!!!!!!!!
AT COMPASS POINT SEMBAWANG...
seems like Sembawang is the fastest...

SUCH AN AMAZING CONCERT!! gosh...

i'll leave you guys to dcide on the quality urself...when i sat closer to the tv...i didnt feel like the quality was as good as before...but from far...i saw no problem. And by near, i mean ONE LEG DISTANCE lol..

and there are 'offable' subtitles. no worries. But i think they look ok actually...just not during her song portions...when she talk..the subtitles are very useful.

and about that cdrama thing...u noe wad? after buying the PCDL, i headed down to that cdrama shop and check it out. they really didnt have it...so i guess i cant argue that hahahha.

^ how much was it?

40 bucks...

the price is OMG.:gun

The price that's being quoted should be expected especially since freedreamer bought it from Sembawang

I have a feeling HMV will charge $10 or maybe even more than what Sembawang charges

but anyway I'm not buying the DVD , I rather buy something else instead

Yes I'm saving money to order 3 SPLASH CD+DVD with Pouch from HMV, so not buying PCDL either.

yeah cd rama is slow. i'm gonna call and ask around.. >_<

not to burst your bubble Jun Xiang but I have a feeling it will not be sold here locally & probably the CD only of 3 SPLASH will be imported from Japan

the last Koda CD + DVD single that was imported to be sold here (OS press wise) was LAST ANGEL

from anytime onwards , :no :no :no

I heard you can like "order" from HMV right... like I guess I will let them know I know about the region code 2 thingy...

I think so

I never tried to place a 'special' order with them though & even if I would , I wouldn't do it for items that contains DVDs

I rather get the OS press of an album/single since my laptop cannot play region code 2 DVDs anymore & VLC Media Player hates my laptop :eviltongu

Lol, oh... I really love this single so much and I love the CD+DVD+Pouch cover so much... but I hope it wouldn't sold out in Japan or something, and of course not cost a bomb lol.

I have a feeling it might should you're able to order from HMV Heeren

already HMV Japan & CDJapan's don't have stock for it anymore & YesAsia's price's really meh - http://www.yesasia.com/global/3-spla...0-en/info.html

it's ridiculous , about S$50+ @_@ & it's NOT inclusive of shipping :dead2 :dead2

& I thought paying S$40 for the HK press of ayumi's new PCDL DVD is BAD

yep HMV allows ordering. my friend got most of her ayu long ago singles that were stopped here like this, although its ALOT more... like 30 dollasr. -_-

either way, i'm definitely going to buy the PCDL. i just skipped her asia tour 08. i dont like her live in taipei..............

I forgot to add that you have to pay a $10 deposit if you want to place a 'special' order with them

it will take about 4-6 weeks for your item to arrive (:dead2) & the $ cannot be refunded

not worth it at all :no , I rather you buy it online , it's faster & quicker

$10 per item or $10 per order? O_O if its like $10 per item then..................................

40 bucks is in SGD?
i bought PCDK HK version online which cost me USD 24.90

^40.00

^sorry..but what sticker do u mean?

I really don't know for that sorry :dead2

Yea when you buy Ayu DVDs in Singapore you can expect the sticker to disappear and expect the wrapper to be cling wrap! :P

I saw the PCDL DVD earlier on when I was at Westmall's CD Rama

it looks really cheap/low in quality , what a pity

I thought the packaging might be real shiny & glittery like Yuna Ito's DREAM but apparently not

LOL :laugh

I can call HMV now , I want to ask them about the whole $10 deposit on whether is it per order or per CD

give me a few mins on that

EDIT -

Ok the DVD's going for $49.95 at HMV Heeren & it came last night

the whole $10 deposit on whether is it per order or per CD - you have to pay $10 per CD if you want to make a special order & they cannot bring in items that have DVDs with it (sorry to burst your bubble once again Jun Xiang) & it will take about a month for items to arrive :dead2

they used to be able to do that freely but for the past 5 years , not anymore

so it looks weird in MJ and CDrama? aren't they all the same? just dispatched into different stores?

i really don't understand what you mean by looking cheap and all, can you take a photo and upload here the one you bought from sembawang? i don't think i'm going anywhere near sembawang tomorrow, and i want to watch PCDL!!

So have i got to buy from sembawang now??? I seldom buy from there.... even NEXT LEVEL album is bought from CDrama. O_O i hope its okay.

^yea...the cover looks weird..hahaha...
but i really love the concert

That is a pity but if the DVD inside is unaffected, i'll still be buying it nevertheless and watch it with my convert of a kinki fan friend woo hoo!! It's so fantastic, she's clamouring to borrow my ayu stuff!

Wow based on all your comments of the cover, I think i must check it out tml.
Is it that bad for just the local press or it's as bad as the HK/TW press?

Though I'm not buying, I think i will reconsider where I should buy from for my next ayu purchase, if it's the local version's problem./

well the version that's sold in stores here , it's imported from Hong Kong

Warner S'pore has stopped manufacturing her DVDs since her Arena (miss)understood DVD

Oh man I won't be able to get the pouch via HMV now... I guess I will wait for the OS press to come here~

I already said before Jun Xiang in that you wouldn't be able to find OS presses of Koda's singles being sold here locally anymore

Warner has stopped importing CD + DVD / OS presses of her singles from LAST ANGEL onwards & the only way for you to get her singles , OS press wise's via online

ya see i was wondering!! how come such a small dot on the world map can import from so many different countries..... hahahahaha~!

kk i'm going to buy tomorrow. pinkish.. well her NEXT LEVEL album is in pink CD casing. don't care cuz i want to wach her concert. :luv2

Ah retarded me... I mean whatever they're gonna bring here. I bought anytime and it was JP-press so yeah... I guess they'll bring the CD only ver. of 3 SPLASH which has the fugliest cover and literally no goodies in it! :irked

really ? I thought the CD only cover of 3 SPLASH is awesome

there's always the choice of buying the single online if you really want the CD + DVD + Pouch though

i have a wuestion. one of my friends said that she saw her PCDL in sg in May also $40. erm, what could be wrong?
