I think HMV got a bad rep when someone said that they fold posters, and then went on to say that CDJapan always ships in the tubes or whatever.

So it was like, HMV got the rep for bad shipping procedures, CDJ got the rep for being more expensive, but your stuff was protected, and YA got the rep for, being worse than all of them, and sending out cracked CD cases and what not.

CDJapan is just ridiculously expensive for me if I'm buying older stuff. For that, YA is the way to go, since it'll get to me within a few days.

I haven't preordered anything in a really long time...but the next time I do, I'll look into HMV :)

OMG thankss!!!

that UNIVERSE dance is amazing! Sure that it's the same of the tour... I can't wait to see it with all the amazing outfits, gorgeous illumination, and all the water thing ^^
October 6 is veeeeeeery near :D

Those single pictures are so beautiful. <3

so pretty omg o_o

yeah it's true Sabrina , HMV Japan fold posters but I have no problems with it since well if you buy a magazine that has a poster , it's folded isn't it ? haha

HMV Japan all year round have multiply campaigns & they usually give discounts to online members , especially to CD + DVD's of albums , singles

Like for Suki de x3 / Anata Dake ga , the cost price of the single is 1,890 Yen but I believe they will charge you 1,660 Yen when you checkout in your shopping cart ? :O

those scans are gorgeous :love

and i totally loved the 2 PVs! at the end of the walk, i wasn't expecting kumi's boyfriend to come, haha. she's hilarious when she throws her shoes to hug him :laugh overall, i think all 3 PVs were beautifully done!

okay... I'm going to say something I just realised.

Did u see all 3 pv's in a row? 'cause I just made it, I saw the 3 pv's on vimeo, on wide screen, and I really felt in love. At least till the last moment on the walk pv, when the waiter appears on the beach.

I think that it's a shame 'cause they could made an incredible conclusion. Walk is an amazing song, and the lyrics join perfectly with the meaning of the first two songs and the whole walk pv story. I mean, in the walk pv the sisters appears "happy" after all, 'cause that's the point, we have to keep walking even if things are not great, even if we don't know what we are going to find on the road.... it's sad for me, that the waiter appears, I think the whole concept of the story will be nicer without his final appearance.

I don't know if I explain my thoughts clearly... If not, sorry! my english is very poor and to me it's difficult express some things in a better way... :(

AWW THE END OF THE WALK PV IS MY FAVORITE :heart

I knew there would be a happy ending, ohhh ma god.

This single is absolute perfection.

ps The dance for Universe looks awesome! She has the sexy chic thing going on, can't wait for UNIVERSE TOUR DVD

....best Koda Kumi single since MOON

DLing PV's now, omg.

The back covers..are just..

..I know I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the best single of the year.

back cover :heart

ugh.. her performance in Girls Award was so-so...
but she did great on tour..

edit: oh! and today is the day~
let's see how the competition goes :lech

My favourite PV is Suki dex3, koda looks so great and funny with her expressions, anata dake ga is cool too , but walk is boring for me, at least she looks pretty

so true!
I expect ayu for #1 even though this time she doesn't deserves it!
After all I think they will sell pretty closer... let's see :P I'm so curious

I just want both to do well..I wished she danced more in UNIVERSE but the lighting was cool for me.

Oh, I just watched the PVs back to back and it was an amazing experience. 'walk' ended off the trilogy very nicely.

Loved how Kuu-chan threw away her shoes, haha. XD
