Just a quick question - do you get the poster if you buy normally from a store? I ask because I hopefully have a friend in Japan who's going to get me a copy.
Also, do the novelties come only when you pre-order?
Thanks! :)

If you buy normally from a store, they'll probably give you the poster as well if they have some in stock. Usually the first press goods that we get when we preorder here are also available in Japan when shops sell copies to customers. I might be wrong about this, but I'm fairly certain that it works this way...

The lucky draw items are also in a "while supplies last" sort of thing where you draw a card from a box and depending on what letter is on it, that's what prize you'll get. (S, A-J)

-sigh- After looking at the phone stand and the pen case makes me want them now. :(

start!Let's RNR

Cool pics Foyuki!!!

Awesome fun pics Foyuki, thanks for posting!

Ah thankyou for clearing that up TH. :D Let's hope then I get that poster! This will be my first Ayu album so I'm quite excited. :D

And am I correct in saying that I'll get a photobook if I buy a first press CD+ DVD? Do the CD+DVD first presses usually sell out quick?

We're gonna know the first day sales tomorrow! I'm so excited

from the pics you can see how few the CD ONLY version is -.-

Looks like some rockin 'n' rollin now in the Japanese record stores - she's the favorite to get #1!

They printed more than enough. 400,000 first presses with photobooks.

Yeah mine CD+DVD was shipped at 1056 on 12th from MUMO to Vpost! Its volume weight is 3kg and real weight is 0.8kg. I think cos of the photobook and the poster...

i've scanned the photobook cover,in case anyone wants it ,here you are

Bought today at Tower Records - I received a poster and stickers with it.

^Wow..u won it? or was it given as a gift?

^ You automatically get a poster when you buy and then you have to stick your hand in a box and pick out a random piece of paper with letters on them - depending on what letter you have, you get that gift. Mine was stickers. :)

wow... you're so lucky~ >.< *jealous*

O.O Cool!! Too bad I didnt get anything LOl

Actually, since this is the day before release they don't have the actual cd out on the shelves - those are actually faux cd cases - so usually there is only 1 in each row. You have to go up to the counter to tell them you want to buy the album and then they give you the album from behind the counter. At the store I was at I saw maybe 30 copies of RNC back behind the counter, but I'm sure they have more in boxes.

That really looks cool omg
