but I'm not in a panic mood because I know that the local HMV will import both editions over since the limited edition will not have a DVD so no brainer which one I'm getting

the only thing I dread's the price tag @_@

yes karen, it's out of print again. last time i checked it was this afternoon and it's still available then. good thing i pre-ordered my copy early this morning. was sad so sad yesterday when i saw that it was already out of print. i'm from the philippines and their CDs don't get released here so the only way for me to get them is thru CDJapan. they're all sold out on other internet sites as well.. haha!

yeah, good thing... my next problem though is the "pricey" payment! hahaha!

Maemi · #44 7th July 2009, 02:41 PM

I just found that that I already had their Single Collection and 5x5 Best Selection, but I still downloaded almost all their singles -.-

So I wonder which songs do you prefer? Older? I want to give them another(it's like..the 4th chance o.O) chance before removing their best of albums, since I'll just keep their singles.

LOL

next time if you're poor like practically every fangirl out there , wait for a while for the Overseas (OS) Press to surface to be sold on HMV HK & YesAsia

you can save up to 1/2 the price you pay for a Japan press . Everything's the same except for the OBI spine & also you will get a translation sheet filled with traditional chinese wordings

in fact , for my ARASHI , KAT-TUN & NEWS's singles , all of them are OS presses , CD + DVD's wise because the DVD region code in S'pore's 3 while for Japan , it's 2 which I can't play it in my laptop but I can in my living room though

I don't know for The Philippines's case though

blue_yet_stronger · #46 7th July 2009, 02:59 PM

Good thing region code isn't a problem here, karen. practically every dvd plays on dvd players. even the pirated ones! LOL!

Btw, I know I can pay the CD. My salary's coming next week so I'm going to pay that up soon as I have money. Kinda expensive though but I don't regret buying it. Everyone wants a copy of it! Hahaha!

yeah I wouldn't blame you

All the BEST is more or less the most anticipated album of the year , best album ie. & it beats A COMPLETE , imo

A COMPLETE would have been well complete & great if not for the fact that ayumi only included the 1st A-side of her singles , for double/triple/four side singles

Wow, really? You like all their songs?

I knew you love them very much.Dx Are you a fan of other boy bands like KAT-TUN, NEWS, Kanjani8?

ka♡ri. · #51 7th July 2009, 04:00 PM

^Not as much as before! I used to really like them, but most of their new material hasn't interested me. Arashi is the only jpop boyband that I really keep up with now. I like them the best.

Maemi · #52 7th July 2009, 04:17 PM

^ ok, i see

I like now Asu Ni Mukatte Hoeru

I remember my first song was HYD's opening

also omg!

arashi's #2

amazing!

anyway, like kaori, i love all of their songs too

but i can only really suggest the most well known songs: love so sweet, WISH, kitto daijoubu, hadashi no mirai, kotoba yori mo taisetsuna mono, we can make it!, happiness, truth, etc...just listen to the albums from Iza Now! and onwards, i guess. i can't really be a big help

i'm just too....biased, LOL.

btw, today's sales:

1 - Arashi - 8,860 = 8,860

oh no no you don't need to cry over this , Nacho

the chances of getting a limited edition that's OS press is much higher as compared to a Japan press

in fact , my copies of Time & Dream"A"live are both the 2CDs limited edition & they're both Taiwan presses

having said that , just like for Japan press , when the Taiwan press for All the BEST is out , better get it before it's too late because I suspect demand for it will be equally as high as what happened for the Japan press

if you dilly dally , then it will be too late . Like for the 2CDs limited edition for Time & Dream"A"Live , it's impossible to find it now on YesAsia & HMV HK

you still can find them on ebay but it's very expensive , like what S$400+ a pop ?

KarenPang · #56 8th July 2009, 09:55 AM

1st week sales of Everything - 342,070

if it's fast paced tunes , I can understand because they have to concentrate on dancing well but for slow no.s like Beautiful days , can't they sing it live for once ? T_T T_T T_T

All of the Ashita no Kioku performances were mostly live.

I think that's kind of a problem right now. Everything, Season, and Ashita no Kioku are good songs, but they are interchangeable. Certainly doesn't help that they were released one right after another. Arashi really needs a fun upbeat single. They haven't had one since Step and Go.

really ? I know for Sakurai , he didn't lip synch especially the part before the ending chorus , could tell that his voice was quite raw

I don't know for the rest

you forgot Happiness

Aga-chan · #59 8th July 2009, 03:03 PM

^And what about "Believe" and "Crazy Moon"? But those were coupled with slower songs, so maybe that's why they don't count.

I also feel that the last few singles sound kinda similar. It's like the first half of the 10th Anniversary Single Run had more diversity. There was "One Love" and "Kaze no mukou e" and "truth". The B-sides were also quite different from the main tracks, while "Everything" and "season" are quite similar.
