I believe this set is only available direct from avex, but there was a compilation of the 6 Harmony CDs released in retail stores. Some info about that CD is here:

I have the CD, the OS Ver were sold seperately outside of the 6 disc box set. All pics scanned by me, I couldn't be bothered typing out all that info on the last page of the booklet so I scanned it instead, it should be big enough to read clearly.

someone beat me to it

[natalaxie]

wow that's different. the one i saw on the site looks like this. so now im confused... (the ones below it are the ones of ELT, DAI, globe, hikki etc)

[~K+]

^ That's the Japan version, only available as a 6 CD Box Set, including hitomi, Do As Infinity, Every Little Thing, Utada Hikaru, globe, TRF works.

[extepan]

yep. the one posted by ~K+ is also the one i have...it is the taiwanese version. i am not aware of a hong kong version though. normally OS versions consists of both taiwanese and hong kong versions...

[~K+]

Avex Taiwan seems to have a wider selection of releases than Avex HK it seems, and I got the CD in Hong Kong, so there probably isn't an Avex HK release of this CD.

(OT: I want the ELT one! But can't find it)

[kristen]

i know this is off topic, but i have DAI Jpop meets Classic Harmony as mp3s..

on topic: i want that! any recommendations for places to buy it?

[~K+]

Well, cdjapan has the compilation disc with a selection of Ayu, ELT, DAI, globe, trf, and Utada all in one disc still for sale, it's out of stock in yesasia though.

've never seen the ayumi hamasaki version

never seen 'ayumi hamasaki melody'

Crystal melodies are different, they're piano jingles released by some Taiwanese company, these are full blown orchestras renditions from Avex.

[kristen]

are crystal melodies = to crystal sounds? i have Crystal Sound and Crystal melody albums by ayumi as mp3s.

i'm working on uploading DAI harmony for those that are interested.

crystal sounds/melodies arent official albums by avex. i wont bother with them.

've bought it yesterday, and i DIDN'T like it at all!
i hated it... i was hoping it'd be like that 'chinese princess orchestra' thing which is just BEAUTIFUL, and this HARMONY CD is just...NOT

the trackklist are bad too
i just hate it
i wouldn't recommend this CD to anyone

[extepan]

if you thought it is gonna be like chinese princess orchestra then you will be very disappointed. harmony is just like AOV but without the vocals. for me harmony sounds peaceful and graceful, and chinese princess orchestra is more exotic and uplifting. they are really of two different styles.

[~K+]

I thought the otherwise, I found the Chinese Princess Orchestra really annoying...

HARMONY isn't exactly quite like AOV though, the AOV sounds so flat sometimes as though the sounds are artificially created. HARMONY is much richer sounding with a real orchestra.
