5music is not giving away the penholder anymore

Chia Chia Records is still doing that though

^Fantastic! Functional or not I think it's a great little gift. I'm wondering if its paper or a thin kind of plastic.

It looks sturdy to me

But of course the appeal of the pen holder is those vertical looking album covers which're still really pretty

Oh wow , they utilised all 3 covers for the 3 sides
I like the look of it, but I don't think I'd use it though. I'm glad they're giving away some kind of bonus

Me & Earth_maiden's copies have been shipped today

Also I saw this notice on avex Taiwan's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/avextw/posts/10157139336655710

Seems that avex Taiwan did not change the DVD region code when they made the album where it's supposed to be 3 while they left it intact as 2

avex Taiwan wrote in order to get the correct DVD with the right region code , the affected DVD/s have to be mailed back to the CD shops where you buy them from by next Mon , in order to do an exchange together with your purchase invoice/receipt

But since my computer can rip both region code 2 & 3 DVDs , I'm not so affected by it but hard to believe they made this mistake =x

avex Taiwan can be pretty careless with their DVDs. Not surprised tbh.

The first pressing of PCDL had the VCD version of the concert put into the DVDs. I believe it's because they were rolling out the soft subs into the DVDs. And also, Namie's LIVE STYLE 2014 DVD had an error where you can't turn off the subtitles - luckily VLC player allowed me to do that. Also, not sure if it has affected everyone, but one of the performances in my copy was corrupted.

That said, yeah, I'm not too affected by that too.

This kind of ruined that tour for me. When I go back to Japan in a few years I'll buy the Japanese press so there's no subtitles .

region coding doesn't affect my player thankfully, I've always been buying multi regional players since I got my first one in 2000.

Ah yes! I remember you mentioning that! It's so distracting when you don't care for the subtitles.

And yeah, multi-regional players are a total life saver.

I always try to buy Ayu concerts on blu-ray so I don't have to deal with region locks. This way I can just play it right from my ps3.
This is why I wish she would re-release her older dvds on blu-ray. I was hoping for the A Best anniversary she would put the Dome Tour on blu-ray.

I have a feeling it wasn't shipped out on the release date is because 5music's online store caught the error and recalled the copies. They probably waited for new stock from avex Taiwan with the correct region coding?

Guess we'll find out soon.

Yeah but at the same time I dislike that people are selling away the bonuses on its own where you're supposed to get it for 'free' when you buy the releases in the 1st place

Hopefully you're right on that because last week I had a feeling they weren't shipped out as Typhoon Nepartak landed in Taiwan before moving to China so maybe that delayed things but we'll see

The penholder







It looks really pretty & although photos of it been posted online where it might not look fragile , the material used to make the penholder is actually sturdy

Of course those elongated album covers shots are the best part

Also I've checked , the DVD is indeed region code 2 so it wasn't because 5music delayed in shipping as sometimes they don't do that on Friday's
