B'z - EPIC DAY album (CD only)

[Bigtop]

• miwa - ONENESS: This is my first venture in miwa. After five years of listening to what was then a promising guitar girl, my mind set in to start joining in the miwa revolution. Here in an Ayumi Hamasaki forum, this is a bit shocking considering the fact that I'm a TeamAyu member (joined last December!) and Ayu's A ONE album, an album competing with miwa on April 8th, Ayu's 17th anniversary, but already my bets are being placed on miwa for #1 and NOT Ayu. I'm just hoping there's no Johnny's artist (especially, please, no Kisumai) going to be spoiling these girls' fight for #1 - it's going to be something to watch. For some, including me, we've been waiting for a miwa vs. Ayu battle for #1 - and that day could be coming upon us. A matchup that we've been dreaming a bit five years in the making. (And, no, THE JOHNNY BOYS isn't a Johnny's Jimusho artist...) EDIT 17th March: I cancelled the order, due to backlash by a couple of my favorite friends here on AHS (see here and here) that changed my stance towards miwa's album order (not to mention the recent trend of 24-bit/192kHz FLAC files that are popping up in JPopsuki, and my guess that it could happen , replaced with Rina Katahira's "amazing sky" from August 2014.
• Rina Katahira - Daremoga/Kemutai: In addition to jumping on the miwa bandwagon for the first time, I'm also considering getting on the Rina Katahira bandwagon as well. Okay, she isn't new, and she isn't as promising as miwa, but after I listened to amazing sky album (August 2014), I had a thought of buying some Katarina, so this is my first shot at it. Okay, this single did release just today, it's just I'm going to order it with miwa and Yanawaraba and wait out as I finish up my studies for the winter quarter.

Speaking of Yanawaraba (http://www.ya-na.net/), these two orders are in addition to the Enishi Uta cover album order that I did earlier. Enishi Uta is going to be a cover album that will mainly focus on folks songs from the 60s and the 70s. Whoa, over 40-50 years ago! That's a time rewind! Yes, I've been a fan of Yanawaraba since 2007, but it was last fall I went ambitious and went all-in on their older releases just to catch up until that day of a new Yanawaraba album comes, and it's going to be on the same day as Ayu's and miwa's new album going to release, April 8th. I'm surprised Yanawaraba is going to be in the middle of the Ayu vs. miwa album fight!

I also had my mind on buying my own copy of Katarina's amazing sky album, but I decided to hold off until later this spring or summer since I'm in a budget crunch trying to pay off my graphics card from back last December. (EDIT: I actually ordered it in replacement of cancelled miwa order. Should be coming early next week...) Also considering about Mariya Nishiuchi as well. Not to mention Sayuri Sugawara (THE SxPLAY) and LoVendoR (Reina Tanaka rock band) - I've got CDs from them, but they have yet to announce their first release this year, especially when LoVendoR is going to make their major debut soon! (Not sure what label they're going to be in though. Hmm... And, in regards to THE SxPLAY, she actually had her first release, but it was a compilation with other artists singing, with the main common theme it was produced by YUKI Jolly Roger...)

And, this isn't my only upcoming releases - I've possibly got a total of FIVE in my backlog (including the three above); the other two belongs to Ayaka! I'm still waiting for the Nijiiro Tour 3-Star Raw Budokan live concert Blu-ray (that I ordered before the end of last year) coming next month (this, along with the other three - I ordered them through CDJapan), and after the triple delivery, I still have the Rainbow Road album (I ordered through the Room Ayaka shop, since I'm a fanclub member, and yes - I ordered at the dawn of the new year, and I ordered the fanclub version) to deal with as well!

My copies of both albums are stuck in my friend's friend's house & I don't know when I'll be receiving them + it doesn't help that nobody uploads their stuff online (as usual)

NEWS - White album (Taiwan press , CD only)

Going to order a few more albums before BREAKERZ apocalypse comes in the next few months xD

[KarenPang]

Acid Black Cherry - L album (CD + DVD / 1st press , Project『Shangri-la』Documentary edition)

Normally I will order Taiwan press if it's available but on this rare occasion I choose to buy Japan press instead since avex Taiwan made the edition that I don't plan to get & I want the PVs from L :3

That said this time round , I feel that L & not NEWS's White should have gotten #1 instead

If the release date for L wasn't changed , ABC could have gotten their 2nd #1 but oh well things happen :x

Ai Otsuka - LOVE JAM (2004)

Oh my goodness...why am I buying a ten-year-old album when LOVE TRiCKY is about to release April 22nd...?

Oh wait - it's because I'm trying to get the DVD of LOVE JAM - it has the Kingyou Hanabi short film that I'm quite interested. But there are two problems: I can't find it on JPopsuki (probably because it got deleted?) and I'm on a budget crunch. I wasn't willing to buy a new one, so I bought it on Amazon for ONE YEN (actually, 351 yen because of shipping), and I'm shipping it to my Tenso address while I wait for this used album to mate with my Room Ayaka version of Rainbow Road (to come on April 15th) and deliver across the Paciifc from Tenso together in one shipment...
