Regular Edition of truth / Kaze no Mukou e single out in S'pore already

[minlilin.livejournal.com]

 I just got off the phone from HMV Citylink & they told me the Japan press , regular edition of the single is already available for sale . HMV Heeren hasn't received the stock yet after I asked the staff from Citylink & I STILL cannot get through the Heeren's outlet T_T .

Someone must have forgotten to put down the phone properly .

Anyway the single's selling for S$20.95 so if you're a S'porean like myself , go get it NOW ! I think I will do that later on today or tomorrow .

hmm.. regular edition..
they don't bring in the limited editions??

[minlilin.livejournal.com]

unfortunately no because there's a censorship board in S'pore ala MDA & all DVDs be it concert or movies must be passed though MDA before it's given the go ahead to be sold in S'pore unlike Japan , HK , Taiwan which doesn't have any .

That's why they only can import CD only versions of albums/singles from Japan which kinda suck :(

+ there're region code issues since usually albums that comes with DVDs that're manfactured in S'pore is region code 3 while for Japan's DVDs , it's region code 2 .

+ HMV doesn't tend to import limited editions of JPop singles/albums & it's rarity for that to happen

eww.. just when i thought i can get the cds in local stores and not order online in the future.. meaning we can only get it online if we want the limited editions.. glad that i've place order for the limited edition online.. patiently waiting for it to be shipped over now.. ^^

but i have to say that HMV is fast, this single was only released yesterday and it's already on the shelves today..

yup they're efficient in this sorta issue . That's why I personally think when comes to JPop stuff they're up there . Others really can't hold a candle to them like seriously .

But if I were you , you better go to HMV in the next few days to come if you want to get a copy of the regular edition of truth / Kaze no Mukou e because the last time the 1st shipment of One Love was imported from Japan to be sold here , it was sold out very quickly although new stock came in soon after that .

I was lucky to pick up a copy a day after the actual release date of the single so ya that's my piece of advise to you

thanks for your info.. though i don't think i will get the regular edition, having the limited is good enough for me.. need to save for future arashi splurges.. haha

didn't know HMV brought in One Love as well, (i don't go to local cd stores)and it's sold out.. yeah, nice to know that.. haha

are you an arashi fan? *sorry my replies going off-topic.. ><

HMV Heeren also have brought in their past Japanese albums (like Iza , Now , One , ARASHIC & Time) & some of their past singles (like Sakura Sake , Kitto Daijoubu , Aozora Pedal , Love so sweet , Happiness , Step and Go but all of them are Japan press & regular editions & they're quite expensive . That's why OS press's much cheaper & better .

For all the albums I listed , it will set you for $72 each :O . Singles wise , expect to pay $20+ & above & yes it's not funny to begin with since HMV also take import & rent charges into consideration .

"are you an arashi fan? " - LOL of course I'm , if not I wouldn't be posting on here haha

oh ya.. this is arashi community.. totally forgotten where i am.. zzz..

thanks alot for the info on the price and they are really expensive O.O

by the way, not sure if you have come across this forum, http://sgarashifc.forumup.org/ maybe you would like to take a look there..^^

[minlilin.livejournal.com]

oh I never came across that forum before . Maybe my younger sister & I will join since we're fans of the group .

if you're a member there , I see you there ? haha

[minlilin.livejournal.com]

oh I just registered an a/c there , hope to see you there . I go by a different username in that forum so ya

[stage0730.livejournal.com]

yup.. i'm a member there.. but under a different username-- dream17

personally, i think that forum is great for arashi discussions and of course preordering of arashi stuffs.. mass ordering splits up shipping costs, i guess.. haha^^

guess i'll see you there then.. ciao~

*nice chatting with you^^

[minlilin.livejournal.com]
