I am trying to get all of Ayu's older albums and on CD Japan the prices are high
but on HMV are affordable.
I know that first difference is for the DVD because of the region 3
but i will get the DVD versions from cd japan
I have decided to buy first few albums from HMV because they have no DVD
and to save up a little money

If you want to be 100% specific, I read somewhere that someone noticed a small audio difference between the Japanese and HK presses. You must note that the person used the state-of-the-art ($5000+ US dollars) surround sound system. So there is a small difference audio wise. I did borrow Namie's concentration 20 from a library and it was a HK press, but I didn't notice a difference.
Someone mentioned that Taiwan presses are better than HK presses. I don't know much about HK presses but Im aware that Hikki's ULTRA BLUE and HEART STATION Taiwan press CDs look like ****. Cheaper than cheap. but that's just me. I saw it at a convention and it looked like they got dollar store paper and ran it through a printer. I compared the jp version of HEART STATION to the taiwan version and the Jp version looks AMAZING.
