i prefer japan version

for new items, i would want them to reach me ASAP, that's why io always use EMS for cdjapan to reach me on the release date.
even for older release, i can still get it from auctions sites.

moreover, the quality of the japan press is better.

although i can buy cds easily in my country, but i can't stand the ugly censorboard sticker! it's very difficult to take off.

but if there's more version of the album, i'll normally get like this:
CD+DVD, japan press
the cd only, os press(for the translation sheet and for the cover, if i can't afford to get all the jp press)

you should be glad that AT LEAST a sizeable/decent amount of jpop material are made available to be sold here in HMV Somerset/Citylink , Genie

not every country's as lucky as us & have you seen the censorship board stickers for Malaysia & Indonesia ?

it's 100000x times worst than ours in that it's the size of a police badge

at least for the censorship board stickers , it's quite small & erm colourful

actually i dont mind about the censorship sticker at all, at least it proves me for buying originall stuff.

for my case, i will always buy OS press because
-i cant get JP press locally
-even though there's a JP press, i cant afford to buy it

^ agree

it's just a sticker at the end of the day , your eyesight wouldn't get blinded by it anyway

if the sticker really annoys you , just pretend it never exists or just get something to remove it from the CD casing , period

what matters more's the content & as long as it's not a bootleg , it's good enough for me

Yeah. I've bought overseas and Taiwan editions before, but I'm really OCD about having the original albums of my favorite artists in the way they were meant to be...

Sometimes, I only buy the JPN press for CD+DVD versions (because I need the Region 2 dvd), but otherwise it's the OS press =)
I don't really mind which version it is tho ^-^

Sometimes... If I really like the artist a lot, I want it to be JP press because I want it to count on the charts! That's all though. Otherwise, I don't care.

My first preference is Japan press. However usually the HK press is JUST as good as the JP press and I barely notice a difference. Japan press is also pretty expensive so I only buy for artists like Ayu [boxset for example].

Not for me. The only reason I would by a Japan press is if I wanted to collect and sell later on when the artist drops dead and they become super rare and expensive. But, I know I would never want to part with it so...like, what's the point? Might as well get a good quality one that is WAY less expensive plus all the little extra things on the side

I'm surprised this isn't a 20 page discussion.

I dunno, I think it seems a bit stuck up, but I prefer the Japanese press... Like, a lot of people who bought the foreign press versions of AB2 White said that the cover turned yellow over time and that the paper and overall quality is low in general . And also I like for the whole thing to be in Japanese, like the back of the CD and the obi, etc. I feel stupid for saying it, but yeah, I only want Japan press. If I wasn't so retarded about it, I think I would own every release by every artist I like.
