Overseas ver. for the new A BEST albums?

Apekuz · #1 20th February 2007, 02:53 PM

Are there going to be overseas versions of the A BEST 2 albums? Or do I have to shelve out for the really expansive japanese releases o_o;;

i never noticed any differences. i think the korean version has a lower quality than the oversea or japanese versions.
but theres a thread about this somewhere, isn't it?

OS versions are copy-controlled. I bought an OS version of BLUE BIRD and it has that Player thing on the CD... good thing my drive ws able to bypass the protection and I was able to rip the songs.
Otherwise, the quality is the same as that of Japan

Well, no, it had the Compact Disc Digital Audio logo, which means it's a standard audio CD, and no CCCD logo too... anyway at least I was able to rip the music though

There's no difference, really. The overseas ones are printed by avex's hong kong label and are around ten bucks cheaper. but there's no difference in quality!

kiseki89 · #9 20th February 2007, 04:19 PM

There isn't? Ok thanks

OS version generally comes out about 7 to 10 days after JP versions. Avex Hong Kong versions are of very high quality, definitely no difference compared to JP versions.

i've checked on ebay and the apparent release date seems to be march 9th. i'm waiting too

IYFreak · #12 22nd February 2007, 10:19 AM

thats wierd cause when I order Secret CD+DVD OS it came out on the same day as the Japanese version I got it like a week after nov.30 but the info was release day couple of days before secret was released

but you can't buy the singapore version online, and there's a damm rating sticker on the front that can't be taken off

shippo · #16 22nd February 2007, 03:14 PM

Yeah... that one.. I hate it so much.. But i don't have so much money, so i buy the singapore one...

ayu_fan929 · #17 25th February 2007, 07:45 AM

Well if they don't come with the +2DVD version, they you may want to buy the JP version...

AyUmIXx · #18 25th February 2007, 08:36 AM

the difference is if you buy japan version u can directly support ayu in oricon chart which is the biggest music chart in japan, i guess, then, for OS versions can't...

DerrickRocks · #19 1st March 2007, 11:48 PM

An exception of overseas version is "LOVEPPEARS" the booklet has no photos of ayu at all
