what is reflective item?

[Calico]

I'm pleasantly surprised by the covers (and the font would be perfect if it were bigger - even blown up, my crappy eyes can barely read it, ha) and CD only is def my fave. The fancy box one is my least fave. I think what I'm most excited about though is that I'll actually be in Japan when this drops and I get the whole buy it at the store experience. Haven't done that since my fave album Party Queen released!

(And I'll die on the hill that those are great covers.)

I like the covers, she looks very classy. The CD only is my favorite one though.

Will this be available for Pre-Order from Amazon? When her staff initially posted the link for the details page, there was a link at the bottom where you could order from (Mumo, Tower Records, CDJapan etc.) Amazon was one, but the link didn't work and now it seem like they deleted the link from the details page. All the other web stores have it but searching on Amazon Japan doesn't give any results yet.

I feel the same - personally, they're my favourite studio album covers since Party Queen. It feels like she had a vision going in rather than it being a beauty shot only. While Made in Japan definitely had some of that feel, it didn't quite take the visuals far enough for me... the Remember you photoshoot has a stronger atmosphere imo.

Amazon Japan has been applying that practice to new releases they publish the item, get certain amount of pre-orders and then the link is gone and item is unavaliable

[Corvina]

Strange, all versions are available at amazon.jp without a problem for me.
E.g. CD only:
https://www.amazon.co.jp/Remember-yo...2129920&sr=8-5

Huh, very strange. But then again I haven't pre-ordered anything from Amazon JP in years, usually I get the TA versions from Mumo, but I'm not interested in this TA version. Amazon typically has the faster shipping for me versus CDJapan/YesAsia etc. I jumped on the link pretty much as soon as the announcement was made and the Amazon link was broken.

The direct link works (Unavailable ) But it still doesn't come up if I type it in search on amazon, only your direct link seems to work for me.

EDIT: The reason why it wasn't showing up in search and saying Unavailable with the direct link is because they did not enable international shipping for this item. Once I changed it to my Tenso address it showed pre-order and showed up in search. Avex used to allow international pre-orders through Amazon ( or at least that was the case 8-10 years ago) but I guess they don't anymore, or at least not for this album.

Basically “(NOT) Remember You” will be released on New Year’s Day.


Wouldn’t be surprised if she previews it during CDL :3

Sorry for the stupid question but, can international TA members not purchase fan club exclusive stuff on mumo shop to deliver internationally? I wanted the one with the poster...

Happy that it’s not an interlude

[Katsuyuki012]

The album covers are some of my favourites she's done. I had actually wished for her to do something elegant / night-themed, so it's very cool to actually see her do that. The last time an album gave me a vibe like that was Secret, but the photoshoot here feels more mature. I hope the booklet will be just as beautiful.
My favourite cover is the full body shot, followed by the CD-only one. I'm glad I ordered the CD+DVD version as it means that I'm getting my favourite cover.

MIJ actually has one of my favourite covers, too, but the booklet didn't really continue the vibe she had set up with the rope. Still love the album, though.

[kotora]

Funny nobody discuss this

13. Nonfiction (Yohanne Simon remix)

This Remix comes from Yohanne Simon who did XOXO, Movin' On Without You, Many Classic Moments for ayu. So this remix should be really good for the album.

Yes, you can order TA from Mumo to ship international. There’s usually some kind of pop up that asks if you want international shipping, but I think they double charge you on the shipping. ¥800 for domestic Yamato courier to their warehouse, and then they charge international shipping fees. You might also be able to get it through CDJapan, they have the TA version listed on their website.

For some reason the international shipping works for normal mu-mo but not TA shop

[DonkeyKongRemix]

I totally love these covers. I am excited about this album and can't wait to buy it after I've set aside some money for it. Wish I could get one of the fancier sets, but I might just settle with getting the CD by itself, which means I get the cover I prefer.

[KLJames]

shall i expect we finally can get full version pv for "Dreamed a Dream"?
"video clip' is label in tracklist, while "Promotional Clip" is label in youtube.

[AguileraAnimato]

When I saw Nonfiction remix is included on the album (not like a bonus track)
I thought that it's like she is doing Utada's method with Somewhere Near Marseilles.
A song that feels like an extended remix version of an actual song.
