Well...i don't like the idea too much...I would prefer releasing a full length album in christmas or spring with all the new songs instead of this.
It may sounds strange but a new release every month could be boring...

^ Especially if they're $30 a pop (with shipping included)

I placed my order on amazon for the two versions of LOVE (minus Tales version...not sure why...don't own Tales version of FIVE either...), and I also ordered two albums that for some reason I never bought: MY STORY Classical and ayu-mi-x IV NSMM. So total came to like over $150 with shipping.

So today, for the hell of it, I added the same stuff on my cart on YesAsia, and they offer free shipping. ONLY $125! ABOUT a $30 savings! That damn shipping is crazy! I know it's costly, but amazon and CDJ should seriously consider some kind of free shipping option, especially for customers who spend a certain amount.

^ I'm paying about $60 for the CD only and Tales edition with FedEx shipping from CDJapan. I like FedEx because so far, once my order is shipped I tend to get it within 36-48 hours.

^Yes, I do love the fast shipping from CDJ, but since I always download the leaks, I don't mind waiting a few extra days for my package, especially if it means saving a significant amount of money! So I think maybe I'll just order from YA, and probably add more things to my cart that I don't yet have. LOL

^^only 700 yen? Where did you order from. And free shipping is still better than 700 yen.

^Maybe because you only ordered one or two versions...hm. I did have two other albums in my order. But I think they pretty much always try to charge me at least 1700-1800 yen for shipping.

I'm actually thinking about just downloading instead of buying it...
I mean, all I want is the ballad and if that disappoints, I may as well spend my money on quality (like everyone's favourite album: ASfXX).

Yesasia inflate their prices, so it's better to use YA when you want to buy in bulk

But isn't the YesAsia packing all sketchy?
I've read that brand spanking new CDs sometimes come with their cases scratched.
I guess with amazon Jp and CDJapan, you're paying for utmost quality without worry of defection of any kind.

I never used YA after 3 of my 5 albums came cracked.
They just stacked them in thin plastic bags...

With CDJ, they wrap it carefully with bubble wrap

I've never had a problem with items coming from YA. The packages are actually usually very hard to open, tight, and secure!

How long ago was that?

They use boxes and bubble wrap nowadays.

A year ago My alan CDs had to suffer, but the only good thing was they unexpectedly gave me an autographed CD...I guess they still have some redeeming qualities haha

But anyways, please ignore my OTness!
