Taiwan version!!! i will buy this...cheaper and the quality is better...

but cd + 2dvd version cover (T_T) i'm afraid my custom will hold it...and think that is porn dvd...

yes & the centre is white while for the wordings , they will use light blue

You don't get that for Hong Kong press though :O

Sigh same problem. I'm trying to remember my password.

$12.80 for the CD version?! That's only a little bit more expensive than it would have cost to buy the CD on iTunes, had avex still had her stuff in the US store (*cough*stupid avex*cough*). FANTASTIC!! :love

Yay I love Taiwan Press CDs! :) And it's really cool that the first press will have ayupan AR stage thingy! :D

I think I am going to order all three versions of it LOL

i thot there is another version with the power of music concert. So this version is not gonna come out in taiwan right?

There's only 1 version of POM concert that is currently being released but in blu ray and DVD. The word “LIMITED EDITION” is just the title of the POM during the last few concert days.
The other concert released is CDL ~HOTEL Love songs～ which is being included only with PQ CD+2DVD version.
I don't think that there might b subs for the CDL~HOTEL Love songs～ not sure if they can do the translation and subbing that fast. But let's pray =)

lol...

Anyway I have ordered it yesterday (after finding my login and recalling password) and it is taken to be a 3 unit package


Actually these translations will only be found on the obi... the Cd casing/booklet itself is like Japanese press

When I went to sign up for an account, the site said they needed an account number (google chrome's translation of 帳　　號); is this just something I make up, like a username?

EDIT: nevermind, I figured it out.

Thanks so much for linking to this site!

How reliable is 5music for ordering to North America? Does anyone know how long it'd take and stuff? Cause yeah, they seem almost to good/cheap to be true :laugh Just wondering before I put my order in. Do any of these orders go to Oricon as well?

I've ordered from 5music since 2010 & yeah they're really awesome . I've ordered stuff for US friends before & they usually take about 1 - 2 weeks for items to arrive

the difference between 5music & YesAsia is that 5music only ship items to overseas using registered airmail so it's secure & you can track your parcels online

And no whatever 5music's selling is all Taiwan press so it's not counted towards Oricon but at least it's counted towards Taiwan's own Japanese chart haha

ohh so the taiwan version of the power of music concert is not gonna be out so soon? i do not see any news on it?

^^They're not releasing them together, like in Japan?

Thanks :D It'll be my first time ordering from them (mostly 'cause I'm too impatient to wait for YA to put up their OS versions :laugh) so I hope everything goes well ;)

I'm very sure avex Taiwan will release the Power Of Music DVD since they've done it for her previous DVDs

I don't see why they will not do that but it takes a while for avex Taiwan to get this info reflected at their end

nah I don't think so , it's usually rare for that to happen

I know that Rock'n'Roll Circus & the ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2009 A ～NEXT LEVEL～ DVD were released together on the same day in Japan but at Taiwan's end , Rock'n'Roll Circus was released on 16th April 2010 while the ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2009 A ～NEXT LEVEL～ DVD was released on 23rd April 2010 :O

lol I always prefer to order from 5music anyway xD , I never like to order from YesAsia with them being so slow & they only sell Hong Kong press of her stuff which I slightly don't prefer since I feel Taiwan press's better than Hong Kong press imo

Avex Taiwan will definitely release the POWER of MUSIC DVD. In the past it's usually one week later than Japan. This time round it seems to be slightly longer, maybe on Friday, April 6th. People who are interested can continue checking Avex Taiwan's official website and 5 music to see if this is confirmed.

Agree, I also think Taiwan press is better! ;) Also 5 music is much faster than YesAsia! :) Btw, KarenPang, are you gonna order Japan versions, for the album and for the Blu-ray?

it wouldn't make any sense if avex Taiwan don't release the POWER OF MUSIC DVD since they've been producing Taiwan presses of her VCDs/DVDs from ayumi hamasaki countdown live 2000-2001 A VCD til now

yeah I still feel Taiwan press's much better than Hong Kong press , because of the quality & also extra effort that avex Taiwan bother to put into making them & also I usually get my items that I ordered from 5music about 1 week's after its shipping date , unlike YesAsia which takes 2 weeks for me :o

And nah I never order Japan press for ayumi's albums as they're so costly for me to afford , all of her studio & best albums that I own are all OS press x)

Is there a Singapore version, as well?

I don't think Warner S'pore willl be making Party Queen since they've stopped making Singapore presses of ayumi's albums with the last 1 that they've made was Rock'n'Roll Circus

for Love songs & FIVE , they imported the Hong Kong/CD + DVD press to be sold here :grumpy & might as well as quality wise , Singapore press cannot make it big time :o
