GUILTY's finally available in S'pore

[KarenPang]

yup I got the same poster when I bought GUILTY from HMV just now . The poster's nice

orangedream , next time if you were to drop by HMV Heeren , you can check & compare the price difference between the local & Japanese import editions of the CDs . it's very easy to spot .

The Japanese import edition is definitely much much more expensive . Eg. otsuka ai's LOVE JAM album . The Japanese import's $72 without the DVD while the local press which comes with the DVD cost $30 . Now that's a BIG price difference .

they do not take in japan code dvd to reduce customer's complaint. there had been cases when people never check that they can't play code 2, but they are unable to get a refund because of code problems. that's why they don't take in, but if you really want the CD+DVD or CD+2DVD, you can request from them.

haha yeah I know . I think this's probably the 1st time Warner issued a 2 sided poster ?

I don't know cos I bought Secret from HMV & it comes with a poster yes but t's only 1 sided ie. the cover of the Secret album cover .

no wonder HMV imports only the CD version of Japanese artistes .

Somemore you have to take into consideration the fright inwards cost aka import charges . I can really imagine if HMV were to import the CD + DVD version of the CDs , it might probably cost a big bomb .

If HMV quotes the Japanese CD only edition of Koda's Black Cherry $72 , just imagine the CD + DVD version should they decide to import it over here from Japan . Ick it might probably cost $100 bucks :S

Too bad HMV doesn't import Koda's limited CD + 2 DVDs editions over here as I never seen it being sold in shops here .

I paid $19.95 when I bought it from HMV Heeren just now in the afternoon & I thought the price was reasonable .

I paid $21.95 last year when I bought Secret . A bit funny leh . How come this time round GUILTY's $2 cheaper ? I thought normally Warner Music would charge like $20 bucks or so for a CD + DVD version for a disc .... weird .

Well i always avoid HMV when buying J version cd, cos they will increase the price soo much due to the import duties, etc. For singles, the different is not too big but it is too significant when it comes to album...

you think so ? eariler on I saw on the cd racks in that they're selling abingdon boys school's latest single BLADE CHORD but there's no way I'm willing to pay $23 for a 2 track single :S

somemore there's no PV included in the single meh

[darkswordz]

When the shipping is counted, it only a few dollar cheaper and you still need to wait when you order online. So see which one you prefer, fast but a few dollar more X, or slow but just a few dollar cheaper...btw if the DVD is included, the single could easily add up to 30+ buck with the shipping cost

for me I rather wait til the local record labels release the local press of their Japanese artistes's CDs as it's definitely much cheaper when you buy the local press release of their albums as I'm a 'poor' student .

If not , last resort's to download from the net & get the PVs from dailymotion.com or youtube.com lol

EXACTLY. SECRET AND (m)u ARE MORE EX THAN GUILTY!?!

when i first saw it i was with my friend and broke. cause i thought it was 21.90 or something. THAN I PICKED IT UP AND TURNED IT AROUND AND :O FOR 2 MINUTES

i guess cause its warner

i suddenly want the japanese version *whines*

well at least i didnt get cheated >_>

[ayu_kiko_22]

I bought mine today too
i think i got the SG version n i regretted doin that cos
i didnt get the photobook...
I checked with them n i think that the SG ver. doesnt come with it

sad ... but i got the poster

[hanabinokisetsu]

I bought mine for $20.90 at Music Junction... oh what a ripped off...

nevertheless I got the poster but.... I really want the photobook!!!!!!!!

um... I am thinking of the 1st press of the taiwan ver (CD only)... does anyone know where can I get it other than online...? (I dun have a credit or debit card that allows online transaction...)

[Jwiz]

i brought mine @ compass point's Sembawang..at the price of around 21 bucks and it comes with the poster without the photobook.

anyway i've already saw the contents of the photobook so im not really keen on hunting down the photobook by preorder etc. =)

[ian lim]

I from Msia, i got my ayumi CD usually from HK pressing CD, which the quality is good, not the localised pressing. Now when i bought my A BEST 2 (both black and white), which were a local product by warner music, and did not including the translated chinese lyrics!! But my friends from spore got it. So i think i wont buy the Msia version anymore. Now my guilty/fated is from spore as well. Just wonder Msia version of GUILTY got the photobooki not??

[hiroshi_ben]

i ordered mine from HMV japan and got the photobook~but it costs me SG$60~sigh..

[pUrpLeSn0w]

yeah i checked with hmv heeren & that they haven receive the j version of guilty...& asked that it will be priced around $70~$80! :O :O :O

the SG version dont have the photobook..& i wanted the PB badly..it only comes with poster..
*sigh*

maybe i'll order online..from yesasia...? =(
it's in USD..convertin it to SGD will cost me ard $40+++ i think.. =X

if you want that, you can go down to Far East Plaza's 5th lvl, when you get out of the lift, turn to your right and walk till you see a florist. The store owner, Wendy imports idol stuff(like SHE, 5566, Jolin, Fei Lun Hai...) from taiwan, so there's a sub store- 'Fans Hub' in her florist. You can see all the idol staff on the display.
You can try to ask her to help you find the first press of the cd only version. You will have to pay her a deposit of $10.
Fans Hub-67347324

last time, i got the (m)u tour DVD from her too, coz SG is taking a awfully slow time, and i can't wait.

[dayumi]

I'm so happy!! Cause finally I can buy the album.. I'm in Singapore at the moment...
