V.I.P. feat. T-Pain - I'm so glad I bought 4 TIMES. What the heck was T-Pain doing? I think he should just mind his business. Another recent "collaboration" of his (5 O'Clock) was so horrible too. *shudders*

Packaging - L-O-V-E IT. Looks amazing, the booklet looks great too, Kuu is HOT.

omg, love it! Also, can someone translate the japanese text on the CM?

It says:

Japan, once called the Land of Gold, was beautiful, brilliant and dazzling.
JAPONESQUE.
I was born in Japan. That's why I will portray Japan now.

Want to know that, too=)

Sadly, there's no way to know for sure since HMV JP doesn't keep track of information like that. Once the first press is sold out they just start selling the regular press without any indication on their site.

However, Kuu is a popular artist with a sizable fanbase so the first press shipment will probably be pretty large. I would guess Avex would want to press enough copies to give her a good chart position for her first week so I think you'd still have a good shot at getting one if you ordered from HMV before the release date.

It's still a risk, though, so you'd just have to decide if it's worth it or not.

you can see most of the time "First Press Novelty" on HMV, though it is not specified on your order page, if you do order when it is still written as available you should be getting the first press. And if you don't, you can clame it and they should be send it to you.

http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/product/detail/4912211

the first press is still available, so if your friend orders now, she'll most likely get it

I always got first press items when I ordered in the past, so there's no reason why you wouldn't

It's beautiful! It would be even better if she was really saying this, like in Black Cherry's intro.

Tha packaging is just amazing !
I just changed my order on YesAsia, I swapped the CD+DVD for the CD+2DVD instead ^^

SKYia · #**151** 19th January 2012, 08:34 PM

Now I'm confused, are all CD+2DVD like the one that guy got or is that the first press? I ordered the CD+DVD, will it be just ordinary plastic double case? I guess nobody knows, I'm tempted to switch to CD+2DVD :V

Yes the guy has the first press edition of the CD+2DVD. The CD+DVD you ordered will be in a normal plastic double case. I would switch to CD+2DVD.

SKYia · #**153** 19th January 2012, 08:56 PM

Will there be any first press special 'anything' for the CD+DVD and CD only? I wish yesasia would add something, love the hmv's clear file. For some reasons I prefer standard double cases, I never got any of those Ayu's special singles (Mirrorcle world, green, etc) or Albums like Next Level USB or Love Songs, I just hope Japonesque CD+DVD will also have the same (even if resized) booklet.

I'm not sure about YesAsia but I know CDJapan does add a first press clearfile to all editions.

setsuka · #**155** 19th January 2012, 10:10 PM

well at the least the product placement fits with the pv unlike some music videos here were it is so awkward and tacky

krauterol · #**156** 19th January 2012, 10:19 PM

there are people with JAPONESQUE isn't it??
it's just a matter of time that the album leaks!

CM is pretty... I'm glad finally promotion was the usual as always ^^ (except for that numerous wonderful walls.. I remember that just for First Things and Black Cherry albums! but maybe I'm wrong)

On february I will buy Japonesque CD+2DVD's (I'm out of money till then

) and I really hope I can get that sleave case... but I think it's pretty imposible if I have to wait until february

Gubsi · #**157** 19th January 2012, 10:28 PM

^nope
the video was from blah bla (can't remember the name)...
they have something to do with HIRO who composed TABOO, Your Love, Okay (i think) and for JAPONESQUE he did Everday...
and u can see how he focus Everyday lyrics in this video, so u can see it's made by HIRO!
so i think this copy of JAPONESQUE is just a thank you from Kumi...

so no leak till the weekend!
usually her albums leaked saturdays, BUT her last singles leaked sunday... :/
(maybe we're so lucky and get a friday leak like with Kingdom!?)

SKYia · #**158** 19th January 2012, 10:49 PM

I want No Man's Land already, the preview just crashed my PC XD

krauterol · #**159** 19th January 2012, 10:51 PM

hahaha! Ok... thanks for the info! ^^
well... we can wait to the weekend

Minttulatte · #**160** 19th January 2012, 11:19 PM
