it looks like a normal OBI , the same as the Japan one

the next time you go to HMV or something , look at the edition of TRICK that they're selling

it's HK press from the OBI without you looking at the back of where it's manfactured from . It will be taiwan if the spine's blue & white

Sembawang were selling Taiwan presses of Koda's Ai no Uta & FREAKY & they're all Taiwan presses

oh my.. the CM was out finally? I didn't get to catch it. hope to see it these few days on tv.

Oh I'm so GLAD that it's 2CD+DVD. hahaz. I love most of the songs Ayu sings on PCDL. it's a nice thing that they include it in CD. but the cover on the PCDL looks so different n special it make me feel like buying it when it comes. aww!!

anw I bought my NEXT LEVEL copy at sembawang mc at $27.50. Karen u can update this on the first post.

sadly there's no translation sheet for mine too. arghs. my first n onli copy of Ayu album without one!!

ok thanks for that Star & guess this's the 1st album of ayumi that doesn't have a Chinese translation sheet , locally

T_T

[yoshino]

^No prob. Argh that was the whole disappointment to have for the first time. I feel that the content of the album was quite plain without the translation sheet.

damn ytd I realised CD rama had cheaper NL after I bought my copy at smc. -_- There was like the whole stack there. so I went to see the wrong cd store first. hahaz..

haha

for me it doesn't matter whether does it have a Chinese translation sheet or not because I'm just too lazy to look at it

I'm annoyed that Warner has done such a sloppy job with regards to the external parts of the album

I'm surprised that they haven't got eggs thrown in their faces yet

[yoshino]

yes yes... they are totally....... argh! not happy that Warner gets to manufacture Ayu albums for these few years.
I can't believe when I saw the words 'Made in Japan'. cos it couldn't be. when could they really do their job n stop misleading us.

it was OK initally with regards to Secret , A BEST 2 -BLACK- & -WHITE-

& then after GUILTY came along where they didn't produced it with the photobook , things started to screw up at their end

[SolarAngel]

At least this time they showed the CM quite soon after it's release in Singapore. But the scale of promotion is definitely below that of A Best 2. I have a feeling the level of sales on our shores were lower than initially expected, that's why they are downsizing the promotion these days.

[yoshino]

awww.. tat's really bad of them. I dun think they do much good promotion for Ayu here anw.

[SolarAngel]

I just went to TM (to watch 17 again =p) and bought NL!!! It was selling for 28.90 at Music Junction so i went to Popular 1 level down and got it at CD-rama for 24.95. Not sure why MJ would want to sell it $4 above the competition when the competition is less than a minute away. Listening to it now.

a bit off topic but I'm going to watch 17 Again next week with my younger sister as I have free passes & also next week the X Men spinoff Wolverine will open in cinemas too (AHHHH THAT GUY WHO PLAYS GAMBIT IS HOT !!!!!!!!! )

dammit I used to have a big crush on Zac Efron . I still do but not as big as before

[SolarAngel]

^Lol! I'm beginning to have a crush on Zac Effron! And i'm thrilled that Gambit's finally making an appearance.

I'm generally quite satisfied with NL except for these points. The quality of the CD casing and lyrics booklet are not that great. I think if i accidentally dropped it, the case would smash to pieces. The booklet also seems to be made of ordinary paper... And no translation sheet! I also read the english translations but somehow, i feel the chinese translation maintains the essence of the meaning better because of how the languages are structured and all that. Bad Warner!

And one more minor point, I'm ripping the 2nd CD right now and it's really strange. The artiste is listed as Chris Byrd and ALL the songs are not the correct title! There are titles like 'blow the trumpet' and 'lay your hands on me' which are so wrong...

are you saying that the NL you bought at CD-rama TM has NO translation sheet?

[pride123]

NEXT LEVEL TV CM in Singapore!

Just saw the CM on Channel 8 , 8:25pm, Monday!

[KarenPang]

I saw it just now too

a bit silly that they put the CD + DVD pic at the end of the CM where by right they're selling the 2 CDs + DVD here

it's obviously that the CM was taken straight from Taiwan cos of the OBI all over the CD + DVD pic *grumbles*

but oh well

that's precisely the reason as to why I didn't went to watch the 1st 3 X Men movies cos there's no Gambit

the guy that's playing him in X Men Wolverine is HOT with a capital H *drool*

ack that's terrible T_T

It's like Warner skimmed a lot when comes to quality this time round ugh & I wanted to buy the 2 CDs + DVD locally so that I can send to a friend overseas but maybe I will buy a copy from Cliff later on when he's online

it's not just from CD Rama , people who have bought from Sembawang , Music Junction all said that there's no translation sheet at all

[Meat Pao]

I don't see the need to make a new thread when we already have a "NEXT LEVEL in Singapore" thread since you can post there as it's relevant (And we can't rewind time anyway if you just make the thread to state the time you saw it)

Yeh, they should put 2CD+DVD cover rather than the CD+DVD, also they never put Days and GREEN PV into the CM.
