Chia Chia Records :

CD + DVD A https://www.ccr.com.tw/goods/366172
CD + DVD B https://www.ccr.com.tw/goods/366173

5music

CD + DVD A http://www.5music.com.tw/CDList-C.asp?cdno=439465678734
CD + DVD B http://www.5music.com.tw/CDList-C.asp?cdno=439465678735

Both websites are charging the same price for each version of TROUBLE - NT428 each ; S$20+ / 1,500 Yen + / US$14+

I hope that we got both versions (like the japan one) but without box or goodies, a cheaper version XD I only need one box. The other version i can buy from Avex Taiwan for sure.

Hoping for the DVD contents to be announced soon, and I think it's most likely gonna be the concerts as well. Then I can know whether I should cancel my order from CDJapan.

Cancelled my Amazon JP order. No harm to avex anyway since all shipments to overseas don't count towards Oricon.
Instead, I'm wondering if the Japanese would try to lay their hands on Taiwan version since it's gonna be like 10% the price of Mu-mo/TA version. That's gonna hit JP sales hard.

Taiwan press / CD + DVD of Sixxxxxx cost about 1,600 Yen so if Taiwan press / CD + DVD of TROUBLE will be priced around the same , then yeah costs wise savings is significant

I'm also curious to see if avex Taiwan will include any bonus item that avex Japan did not give and they've done it numerous times for Ayu's past releases

avex Taiwan included a 4 sided penholder stand for M(A)DE IN JAPAN which was a cool bonus item , hoping for something similar if not something different

The bonus item is the best part of getting TW ver.
but if avex tw going to include the concert its not going to be just 1600yen.
But still depend on the content, probably it's not the full show, edited or shorted version of japan DVD might be the options if they going to sell it cheaper.

Release date for TROUBLE in Taiwan: August 31

Pretty late, still no news about the contents of the DVD though it'll most likely be the concerts.

Thanks Jia Rong , avex Taiwan in recent years has been slow in putting out Taiwan releases , wish they can follow Sony Taiwan's lead where the releases are out in Taiwan 2 days after its release date in Japan -_-

Let's see if avex Taiwan will give out any external exclusive bonus item(s) for TROUBLE

Where can I preorder these releases ?
Anyone knows the website ?

I always order Taiwan press releases via 5music Taiwan

http://www.5music.com.tw/cdmus-c.asp?mut=F

I've used 5music since 2010 so I know they're reliable and great , a million times better than YesAsia on every single level

There's also Chia Chia Records Taiwan but I don't use their website cos it looks complicated for me to use o_O

Also unlike other websites , for poster bonus giveaway , 5music will give you an option to pay extra for a poster tube . If you don't want that option , they will fold the poster and put it inside the padded envelope which I don't mind

If you want , I can help you order the Taiwan press of TROUBLE in due time once 5music Taiwan list the mini album on their website

Lastly if you're worried about custom tax issues , 5music always write down gift on the custom tax form's parcel

Wtf is this logic xD
As if Oricon numbers mean anything compared to the money they lose if you buy TW press instead of JP press. So ofc you "harm" avex.

I think avex Taiwan has pushed back TROUBLE release date cos I have not seen it listed on 5music and/or Chia Chia Records website

Already releases that will be out this Friday in Taiwan were listed on both websites last week so :confused

^Yeah I think it has been postponed. Wish avex TW could at least make an announcement...

People nowadays find any type of reasons to ease their mind when they steal music.

How on earth is buying an original, priced by the label, non-used release stealing?

Reminds me of Americans on blu-ray/DVD forums who refuse to buy foreign versions of a release because they consider them bootlegs if they aren't made in North America.

My thoughts exactly.

My comments was pointing the previous comment of someone saying he was cancelling his pre-order of the Taiwanese edition because it wasn't counted in the Oricon and wasn't affecting Avex.

That is said... maybe this person bought it on itunes, or the Japanese edition... but if you are downloading the album on the forum and use the argument "it isn't counted in the Oricon so it doesn't matter if I don't buy it"... it is a poor excuse.

So I guess we both (mis)understood. I thought the person was cancelling the japanese edition in order to buy the cheaper taiwanese one.
PS. couldn't resist using the (miss) undertood pun

In that case it would make sense... I think I am the one who miss understood.

Just in case anyone has been wondering, the Taiwan press for the album has been delayed because it seems that they're producing a "limited Taiwan version" which takes a while to produce. I think this special limited Taiwan version is just gonna be a regular CD+DVD version without the box and photo cards though.

Ooh, keep us posted about it. I'd be interested in what the "limited" version looks like

My friend receives mail updates from avex Taiwan on a monthly basis

If I didn't see any updates regarding TROUBLE from my friend next week , then it probably wouldn't be out until next month or so

That said , it's not the longest I've waited for a Taiwan press to get released from avex Taiwan . Longest was 2 months for V6's The ONES album & 3 months for their The ONES DVD o_O

The upside is that avex Taiwan made all versions for both V6's album & DVD so I shouldn't complain as I don't mind to wait and somemore all the external bonus items that were given away were the same ones that avex Japan gave out

That goes for the 1st press packaging for The ONES album too

My friend has received the monthly email updates from avex Taiwan

So here's the list of what avex Taiwan will release this month , JPop wise

09/14 ALBUM 倖田來未：DNA (CD+DVD)

09/14 ALBUM SUPER JUNIOR-D&E：STYLE (CD+BR) (CD ONLY)

09/14 SINGLE ENDRECHERI：one more purple funk… -硬命 katana-
(CD+DVD) (CD+DVD) (CD ONLY)

09/21 ALBUM AAA：COLOUR A LIFE（CD+BR）

09/21 ALBUM Hey! Say! JUMP：SENSE or LOVE
(2CD+DVD) (CD ONLY) (CD ONLY)

Looks like TROUBLE might get released next month if not Nov in Taiwan ? :s

On a side note , looks like avex Taiwan finally has license from avex Japan to make CD + Blu-ray versions regarding some of their artistes' material as they released the Taiwan press / 2 Blu-ray + 2 CDs version of Wagakki Band's Wagakki Band Dai Shinnenkai 2018 Yokohama Arena ~Asu e no Kokai~ last Friday in Taiwan

2018.09.28 On sale
Look like will have some bonus gifts but I can't translate it.

Great for avex Taiwan to have official confirmation on this

I'm glad I held back on buying the CDs before, now I can get both versions with concerts. Only thing is I'll need to buy a region free DVD player too, but I've been meaning to do that for a while now since I have a few DVD versions of albums.

With regards to the bonuses, it states:

Shop front (physical store): B2 bonus
Online: Jacket sized card

Chia Chia Records & 5music have listed both CD + DVDs of TROUBLE for preorder on their websites

CD + DVD A https://www.ccr.com.tw/goods/366172
CD + DVD B https://www.ccr.com.tw/goods/366173

CD + DVD A http://www.5music.com.tw/CDList-C.asp?cdno=439465678734
CD + DVD B http://www.5music.com.tw/CDList-C.asp?cdno=439465678735

Both websites are charging the same price for each version of TROUBLE ie. NT428 which's about S$20+ / 1,500 Yen + / US$14+ :O

Wow at the price and the full concert is included in both versions

And here's how the jacket sized card looks like :

That is so cheap! I’m gonna get both copies too!

Damn. Could have saved myself $200+. :eviltongu

OMG SO CHEAP!
Going to buy jacket A.

Does any of this sites deliver overseas?

likewise :yes

lol but in this case , you forego the box set packaging & postcard pack . Cost will definitely be higher if avex Taiwan was able to replicate what avex Japan offered

But that to me is secondary so I don't mind paying a lot less cos the audio & DVD footages are more important to me

Yes both websites accept overseas orders but 5music is the only 1 I've been using for years

I don't know how to navigate Chia Chia Records's website , it looks so complicated for me to use x_x

For 5music , they mark all overseas orders as gift on the parcel so if you're concerned whether you have to pay custom taxes , you don't need to worry about this

Yeah true, I like having the key chains and postcards. Unfortunately I ordered both JPN press before I knew I was going on holiday. I wasn't confident that I would be able to cancel my order as I've never been able to do with mumo. I'll just spend $200 less on tour goods then haha.

Too bad there are no blu-ray versions...

Yessss, I'll buy both of them!

From Yesasia:
Jacket A
Jacket B

Honestly I will not recommend buying from YesAsia as the stock would be shipped from Taiwan to Hong Kong before it get shipped to you

As such , you already have to pay upfront for additional costs on this which's about 10 bucks extra as compared to what 5music and Chia Chia Records charge

Both 5music & Chia Chia Records have physical stores in Taiwan unlike YesAsia

avex Taiwan has updated TROUBLE in Ayu's discography section on their website

https://www.avex.com.tw/Artist/artis...istCode=HAMASJ

Thank you, Karen!

Pre-ordering right now!

Oh, I see! Thanks for letting me know.

I don't blame you for saying that cos at that time nobody knew if avex Taiwan would make physical standard CD only versions of TROUBLE or just like Zutto / Last Minute / Walk , the single was only released digitally and avex Taiwan didn't made a physical copy of it

And for avex Taiwan to have permission granted to make a special CD + DVD of both versions , it was a nice surprise

If you require my help to help you order TROUBLE on 5music , I can do that . I have helped others on AHS order stuff on 5music as well , not just Ayu related releases

That will save you the trouble in creating a 5music account just for this only & after that you might not use it again

Basically the same as the regular Japan version, just an additional disc with the translations sheet. Shall order version B with Namie's Finally tour DVD when it gets announced.

An almost 6 mins promo video of TROUBLE was posted on avex Taiwan's Facebook

https://www.facebook.com/avextw/videos/559700314450838/

So basically the same as the Japan promo but without the audio snippets. Ahh avex.

I received my Taiwan press CD + DVDs copies of TROUBLE EP today with the jacket sized cards

http://ahsforum.com/forum/showpost.p...5&postcount=98

The jacket sized cards are quite thick and sturdy unlike the loose lyrics + EP credit sheets that came with the EP

Also 5music Taiwan is not giving away the jacket sized card for the Type A version anymore

^^
How's the quality of the DVDs? I think mine will arrive next week

As in how's the quality of the concerts found in both DVDs ?

That I'm not sure cos my old laptop is unable to read DVDs anymore , I will only know if I bring them to my aunt's house and have the VOB file(s) extracted :x
