i do it because i make good money and i want to actually support my favorite artist during their first week on the oricon?

i agree and also because i can only switch the region on my DVD player 5 times and it's set on region 2 and OS DVDs are region 3 and most of my other stuff is region 2 and then i wouldn't be able to change it so the money i'd spend would be useless.

besides OS packaging is made of cheaper plastic and the cases smash way easier and the paper quality of the booklets is cheaper (at least that's what i've heard from a bunch of people who have some JPN press and OS press)

[♥ you!]

^ the spine of the obi is also different, it's always white with blue text. not much of a difference but I care about those small things

7,178 + 5,115 + 4,756 + 4,128 + 3,346 x1.7 = 41,689

2 more days left for the end of the 2nd week ^^.

Hmm.... alright sales for the 2nd week so far. I was expecting so much more

Pssh I need your job then

In 2008, it was Ayu's anniversary so I went all out and bought the Japanese press of almost everything and was happy to see I contributed, but I can't afford to do that all the time -_-;.... So if you're place is taking any applications, holla at me

oh yeah i forgot about that. it'd look really bad bc i have all my cds with the obis on them with the spine sticking out (like books lol)

if i'm going to collect something i'm really picky about it.

[Kingdom]

to be honest i rarely buy cds at all.. LOL. there are a few artists i support, but other than that i download mostly everything. kumi is one of the artists i support, plus i don't even use the cds more than a couple times, it's all mainly for the support factor. so to buy the os would be pointless for me i guess.

but i understand not everyone can afford it. i just think it's kind of rude to say that people are stupid for buying the jp edition and not waiting for the os one.. you know?

[aqua_crystal]

^^I guess that's the case with everyone now. CDs (especailly Japanese press) are too expensive and its kind of a waste to buy them because everything's up for download sooner or later. I mean, one can keep buying releases by 1 or 2 of their favourite singers but not more (unless they're frikkin rich and have loads of money to spare ) Soo... I guess that's why Kuu's TRICK sales are so low. Even though the album itself is amazing.

I agree. That's why I prefer Japan presses.
Besides, I rather spend my money on good quality stuff anyway.

[ayumisrael]

1->1->2->1->1->1 - Koda Kumi - 7,178 + 5,115 + 4,756 + 4,128 + 3,346 + 4,336 (x1.7) = 49,060

1 more day.

[aqua_crystal]

^^Oh well.... at least it was better than yesterday's sales...

[AyuHamasaki01]

My TRICK copy still hasn't arrived
I hope it will arrive tomorrow ...

[Melrose]

^

Haha.

@Luv ~Venus~: Because some people actually care about supporting Kuu and are excited to get her new material asap? -_-;

that goes for me as well , I don't have it yet

I'm still waiting for the Taiwan press to be out by next Fri , I hope I wouldn't be charged a bomb for it

[Lee^ChaN]

Good, that the sales increase.. i hope it breaks 300k tomorrow!

anyway, do anyone notice, that one of Kuu's dancer (i think it's Fuuko) made a mistake on dirty ballroom live?
well, she didn't wear one of her "glow in the dark" glove during TAKE BACK (on her right hand); and then in the middle of the song, you can see that she already wore it

O~God, i watch too much dirty ballroom *7 times already *

[aqua_crystal]

^^Woah!! 7 times!! You must really love it

[Lee^ChaN]

YEAH! i love it!
i watched Black Cherry Tour more than 10 times..
i always enjoy watching her concert
*except Yokohama premium hall.. it's boring*

Your computer DVD player? Just use VLC Media Player, you can play any region with it.

Yeah, that's what I do. I never have to worry about switching the codes or anything. VLC Bypasses everything!!!!
