hmmm interesting...i searched on Samgoody and walmart.com and i didnt find Ultra Blue anywhere...i searched for Utada, Hikaru Utada, and Utada Hikaru, then searched by album, for Ultra Blue. nothing...i found the Single Collection online though..

Totally agree...we took it for granted...but they sell fast too...especially Ayu's...

record label in Indonesia, Indo Semar Sakti, licensed a heap of Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese release CD. This includes BoA, Ayumi Hamasaki, Namie Amuro, Jang Na Ra, and other artist I didn't recognize.
It is official, since they buy the license from the original label, and the price has been greatly dropped to match the financial condition of Indonesian. Yeah, the price dropped, along with the quality of printing & recording.

So watch out there.
You never know if the physical licensed CD will sound worse than the original one.

well, aren't those called bootlegs? Because everytime I buy a cd it sounds a lot better than the radio versions and better than the downloaded versions ^_^'

ULTRA BLUE and the Single Collection have both been released on the iTunes US and Canadian stores, but at the moment physical copies of the CD's are only being distributed in Canada. Hehe. I feel so lucky to be Canadian. I bought both of the CD's from my local HMV yesterday.

then how come an article in NASHVILLE says that Single Collection came out? Nashville is in tennesee..


EDIT: oh i see...after closer examination, i noticed it was only Canada...but thats so stupid...it would make more sense to release them in the US too...aww well...forget it...and WTH is HMV?

^ HMV. o__O It's like this mega-big CD chain. I see it in Malaysia. I went to Australia and it was there too. It's everywhere. Even my PS2 magazines advertisement spots, regardless of the place they came from.

I guess I should run along to HMV too! How much were they anyways? :)

Ultra Blue made me like Hikki again xD
