[News] LOVEppears / appears -20th Anniversary Edition-

[TeamAyu2004]

I listened to the original yesterday and a few of my faves of the remaster and you can tell the difference.
Glad I preordered this.

I pre-ordered this based on your comments guys, do we have a official count?

Add me +1 (4CD+DVD)

[AJFmzk]

[JinHamasaki]

I land in Tokyo a week after the release and will buy it in store!

So I listened to the remaster all the way through at work. I have cheap headphones there. I think they're meant for gaming, the sound quality isn't too bad, and I'm pretty sure they cost under $30...anyway. The tracks actually sounded really good on them, everything was evenly balanced and I didn't really notice the extra reverb or boosted bass. I'm not really sure what that says about the new masters to be honest, since all those problems were pretty obvious on my good studio headphones (I still haven't listened to all of the tracks on them yet), and even to an extent on my iPhone speaker, but I still like how they sound overall despite the flaws. Space and clarity in a mix is a good thing, and I think they did a pretty good job making sure you could hear all the instruments and vocal tracks and not having it feel squashed.

I've ordered the 4CD+DVD as well but things in my country are still pretty messy, people are looting mail trucks and buildings so I'm not sure if it'll made it here safely tbh

where did you guys pre-order it? CDJapan?

[Party_King]

^ Yes... CDJ was cheaper than any other site for me (incl. shipping)

[visionfactory]

I pre-ordered from cdjapan as well

A CD store in Taiwan is taking pre-orders for the Taiwan version of this LOVEppears release. Seems to be slated for a December release. However, this isn't official news, it could very well be the store's assumption so please take it with a pinch of salt.

I'm gonna wait for the Taiwan version of this, if there isn't gonna be one, I'm gonna get the 3CD version from CDJapan.

They should ve just include full length the making of LOVEppears PVs.
These footages of random laughter, yawning and goofiness are pure treasure.

Instead of another remastered tracks.

[axmish87]

Making of material was much more interesting than live performances.
Hmm,too bad that on the DVD we will only have PV's without making of videos.
Are there longer versions of the making of footage or is this it?

[Party_King]

^ i know that there’s a making of Boys & Girls. I saw this years ago but I don’t have it...

[Aderianu]

I saw really small making of appears. Also few videos were at A Story of videoclips
