i ordered mine from CDjapan with Air Mail shipping, it's only 1$ cheaper than on yesasia : )
but I prefer yesasia more, cos'e they have OS versions

Shiso · #2 12th November 2005, 06:21 PM

I Pre-ordered CD+DVD at YesAsia. When the title/tracks/covers will be revealed I will think about ordering the CD-only version too. If not only covers will differ but also the photobook included to them then I will surely buy both.

And I disagree that overseas versions are released worse than the Japanese originals... they WERE released worse but now the differences are really unnoticably... the quality of the paper is now better - I could even say that it's almost as good as japanese... and actually the only thing that makes You notice that it's an overseas version are the stickers and the obi.

I buy ayu's new releases in Japan version... but when I was collecting all her singles I was buying as much os as I could to make it cheaper. But now I just can't make myself wait for os versions because I want ayu cds asap

(oh... and the concerts - I tend to buy ONLY os... because Japanese are too expensive)

But when it comes to other artists I usually wait for os versions...

Sorry about the offtop!

And the album... I am curious when will we know if the CD only and CD+DVD photobooks will be different... I hope soon enough for me to order first-presses of both of them

I don't care about QUANTITY but QUALITY. I would rather to lose but have japanese originals not OS

the3ye · #4 12th November 2005, 07:27 PM

i disagree, i have OS versions of many CD and few japs too, besides obis and stickers I can't see any differences Oo, my CDs are still alive even after houndred of hours in my cheap CD-player and the paper print/quality is as good as pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~. Maybe years ego OS were crap but not now, for one ayu single, can't remember which one OS looks better than pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~. if you like pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~, that's ok. I don't care if it's pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~ or not, i'm just glad that i can have it.... and it's original not bootleg.
and what about that paint goes off from cd super? you mean the picture on front cd side? never happened to me, you have really bad luck, lost cd's in shipping process and now probs with OS cd's you're not wery lucky

Shiso:
hmmm two photobooks? crap... hope she won't do this...

Couldn't agree more

not so lond ago I was ordering Ai Otsuka's and Utada's CDs and I was amazed with the quality of the paper! I guess it;s the same as in japanese versions - really thick and glossy photo paper! Today I received Gackt's album OS and it was stored in a great cardboard sleeve and the booklet had VERY thick paper that wouldn;t fit into the CD itself... and it's quality was amazing!

Some time ago I had a chance to compare Koda's best album in Japanese version and OS version and I see no difference... and I was so mad at myself for buying the Japanese version...

I love the quality of the CDs I order but I also love my money that I have to earn myself

I hope so too

evolution105 · #6 12th November 2005, 07:28 PM

Since we're talking about wheres cheaper, where to order i have a question. i have to give an example for this 'if i order ayu's B&D for example with um... koda's singles A-G i will get that order when "G" is finally available. If I make another order with ayu's album and something else, will ayu's album be with the order with her B&D and A-G, or will it be seperate orders?'

the3ye · #7 12th November 2005, 07:34 PM

unless you will ask yesasia that you would like add items to B&D order, it's gonna be a separate order

evolution105 · #8 12th November 2005, 07:39 PM

Oh thats great, see i thought they would add towards ur first order then i would have to wait twice as long. *phew* so basically i can order something then order another thing and get as much seperate orders i want? i suppose...

yep, don't worry they won't add new items to previous order that isn't shipped yet

Marseille · #10 13th November 2005, 06:50 AM

thank you for the info. I m just so exited about ayu's new album

I can't wait for the tracklist

Baernash · #11 13th November 2005, 12:32 PM

@Shiso / @The-Eye: I don't know why u both talking mostly about quality of paper. It was only exemple which difference could be but I don't said that any OS have all those differences. There r many technical and physical defects between japanese & OS and they was observe on actual releasing media by my friends which buying japanese versions as well as OS. I've noticed only about it when Demure Dusk mention about OS versions seeling on YesAsia, however I'm not gonna start to discussion about it because different ppls could have different experiences.

I don't know why u straight off deny if u didn't have similar experiences or possibility to compare? Even if u don't have similar thoughts u shouldn't negate (disagree with) my own

I think better way of conversation is exchange own experiences - not peremptory praise ur own and placing them higher and as most truly than experiences of other ppls (because I feel so urs opinions)

BTW by coincidence I've noticed u both r from Poland and my first thought was that probably u compare OS with polish originals (not japanese) so that's why OS r amazing for u... OK sorry for cynicism - please don't appropriate

WOW! so how's your arguement going? who's winning?

lol just kidding, im not that nosy

**Ryoko** · #14 13th November 2005, 10:55 PM

Man, there's no new info on the album yet? I hope it has more than 15 songs (or at least a bonus one like in I am... and LOVEppears) and she leaves some songs off the album. If she includes Bold&Delicious and Pride and the rest of the songs she released this year, that's 8 songs. That doesn't leave much room for new songs. I mean, it's not like her I am... era. Those singles rocked so much I was glad she put them on. This year, the singles were good, but not excellent (except certain songs like is this LOVE?). So I'm hoping the album tracks are really really good. And the cover as well. And the title. And everything else. Lol.

there might be a hidden track, u never know~

well hope they'll surprise us with one!

hopeorpain · #17 14th November 2005, 01:07 AM

I want new songs on the album, since I'll just buy the singles. B-sides shouldnt be on the album imo. Namie did this pretty well with the speed star, with ppl buying the single after they found out that the song wasn't on the album.

Last year when we have only announcement of MY STORY (title and tracklist wasn't known at that time yet) they said it will be 17 tracks on the album and exactly 17 was. Now we know there will be 15 - and I think there will be only 15.

We know already that album will be contain all songs from this year singles (with b-sides included)

(sorry but before it I though u think about something different by "b-side" notion)

Sorry you're wrong, last year Tower Records said that there will be 15 tracks + posiibility of 4 different covers, and then this changed to 17.
So there's still hope for new songs, and I have a feeling that Will won't be added to new album
