What Asian Music Items Did You Buy Today? Part 5

[KarenPang]

Ordered via CDJapan

Mini albums :

GRANRODEO - Bokutachi no Gunzou EP with external bonus - film like sticker strip

YUI - Natural EP

Both CD only

KAT-TUN's Roar Single :

- CD only limited edition type A with Kamenashi Kazuya's solo
- CD + DVD limited edition

Normally for KAT-TUN's releases I would wait for avex Taiwan to release but this time round I made an exception cos the release of Roar is to celebrate their 15th anniversary

Also avex Taiwan wasn't able to get permission from J&A to make all 3 CD only limited versions which I had a feeling it has something to do with the ticket application codes :s

I kinda feel bad in not getting the other 2 CD only limited versions but I'm sure audio wise & all that other people would upload them so x)

[KarenPang]

Renewed my BREAKERZ fanclub membership yet again & on this note this's my 10th year since joining their fanclub

Unreal

[KarenPang]

Requested my friend to help me ordered some Kame shop photos via Johnny's Online Store

- IGNITE x3
- Roar x7
- 15TH ANNIVERSARY LIVE KAT-TUN x4

Just like 15TH ANNIVERSARY LIVE KAT-TUN goods , this's also my 1st time that I purchased Kame's shop photos that're not 2nd hand owned

I wanted to ask Xianghua or my Tokyo based friend to go down to the Johnny's shops to help me buy but all the time slots to go to all the 4 Johnny's Shops been taken up til next Mon so this's the next alternative for me

Not the ideal choice as domestic shipping fee is +_+ but it's better than nothing

[KarenPang]

My friend today helped me to purchase JASMINE's new song Kimi wa Tomodachi via iTunes USA

[KarenPang]

Ordered via HMV Japan

SPYAIR - UNITE album (CD + DVD limited version) with postcard external bonus

Real unfortunate Sony Taiwan was unable to get permission to make their new album which I think it has something to do with the DVD footages :s

That said I'm relieved I waited for HMV Japan to drop the price for UNITE as before that for some odd reason they didn't do so until much later on

The fact that the overall cost I paid is a mere 10 Yen more than what UNITE cost is inclusive of EMS shipping it's quite unreal

[KarenPang]

Ordered via HMV Japan

UVERworld - UVERworld Video Complete -act.3- 2 DVDs regular version with postcard external bonus

I probably will get 2nd hand copies of their 1st 2 Video Complete releases via Mercari with my friend's help in due time but that's not a must for me now

[KarenPang]

My friend today helped me to purchase YOUYA's new song Surrender via iTunes USA

[KarenPang]

Ordered via CDJapan

Hirai Ken - Ken Hirai Films Vol.15 DVD & postcard calendar bonus giveaway

For once CDJapan's charges are a bit cheaper than HMV Japan overall cos I have considerable amount of Reward Points that will expire next month

I at 1st wanted to order Ken Hirai Films Vol.15 DVD with Ken's new album but I decided to not to cos Sony Taiwan said they might make Anata ni Narita Katta & at most it will be CD only just like Ken's previous album THE STILL LIFE

And this time round I don't really need the video footages that's included in both the non fanclub & fanclub versions of Anata ni Narita Katta as I have both KEN HIRAI Ken’s Bar Special!! In SHANGHAI 2019 & last Dec's Ken Hirai 25th Anniversary Special !! Ken's Bar -ONLINE- files in my hard disks already

[KarenPang]

My friend a few mins ago ordered on my behalf via Musing

- BREAKERZ LIVE 2021 ~Shikkoku no Milky Way AKIHIDE’s BIRTHDAY LIVE~ photoset

x)

[KarenPang]

Ordered via 5music :

Hirai Ken - Anata ni Narita Katta album (CD + DVD)

V6 - LIVE For the 25th anniversary (2 DVDs regular version)

Both Taiwan press , the V6 release I ordered on my behalf of someone on Twitter cos up to now 5music still cannot mail overseas parcels to some countries

I was a bit surprised Sony Taiwan were able to get permission from Sony Japan to make the CD + DVD version of Anata ni Narita Katta unlike what happened to Ken's last 2 studio albums

No bonus item will be given away but that's ok for me x)

I already have the entire Ken Hirai 25th Anniversary Special !! Ken's Bar -ONLINE- & 2019's Christmas Eve held KEN HIRAI Ken’s Bar Special!! In SHANGHAI footages that WOWOW aired but it will be nice to watch Ken`s Bar -ONLINE- without the inclusion of the WOWOW watermark in the file

[KarenPang]

My friend will order later tonight for herself & me :

BREAKERZ - WITH YOU album (CD + 2 DVDs | 14th anniversary Special Deluxe Edition for TEAM BREAKERZ)

I thought Ayu & Kuu's fanclub releases are expensive but nope , BREAKERZ outdone everyone as WITH YOU will set me & my friend for a whopping ¥25,000 each

But considering the guys have included a LOT of things in the fanclub version of their new studio album , it's frankly really worth it :3

Let alone unlike BARABARA / LOVE STAGE & I love my daughter which Being didn't state how many fanclub version copies were made , this time round only 1,000 copies of WITH YOU will be made

On a side note , happy birthday AKIHIDE x)

Just recently bought the oldest of Sayuri Sugawara releases (she currently plays under THE SxPLAY right now), spanning from 2009 to March 2012. (I own CDs from November 2012 onwards.)

[leafyamazaki]

From iTunes:
Morning Musume. '20 - KOKORO&KARADA / LOVEpedia / Ningen Kankei No way way


Going pretty much mostly digital now because it's getting too bothersome to pack everything up when we move.

[Bigtop]

Still had Recochoku point card balance, bought a couple of new Yanawaraba digital-only songs.

This took a bit of a waiting, especially when I had CDJapan points that were about to expire, but:

Promo wise , Kite last year was chosen to be used as NHK 2020 Song to support the 2020 Olympics Paralympics which originally supposed to be held this year before it was postponed next year due to COVID-19

Kite will be released in 3 versions , CD , CD + DVD and CD + Blu-ray and this's ARASHI's 2nd single to get a Blu-ray release

The covers for Kite are created by Ohno

CD only version of Kite will include 3 B-sides , 1 of them is titled Journey to Harmony

Oh yeah high time for Kite to at last get a physical release . I really like the song when ARASHI performed it 1st time at last year's Kouhaku

Took a slight wait for CDJapan to list it but just ordered the CD-only and CD+Blu-ray bundle. Also had some rewards points expiring, took advantage of it.
