Does anyone know where I can find these?


I checked eBay but I could only find Single Collection.

Yeah, these tapes are surely out of print... We here around the world in developed nations don't use tape anymore, maybe only developing countries do... But they don't sell such releases like the one above...

@Amorphose: you could try Yahoo Auction Japan and use a middleman service like Crescent Shop?

A tape like that in japanese is a コンパクトカセット or in short カセット, so if you search for 宇多田ヒカル カセット or something, I figure you'd find something.

Edit: I just searched and on this very moment the Distance tape is on sale, bidding starts at 1000 yen (10$), so if you really want it, hurry up and make a Crescent shop account! :D let me know how it went if you decide to try!

Did Toshiba ever release cassettes for hikki in Japan?? I can't recall them doing that when the first three albums were released. Probly those are not from Japan.

Oh wow I just saw a commercial for Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep
and they used Simple and Clean
I'm late I know

Come on with the damn singles collection announcement

It was announced a month ago.

@Pieces of SEVEN: yeah like. Can we at least have the release date...

I'm probably not buying this I've finally decided. It may be special but not worth it this time (for me). If only she wouldve released a brand new studio album.

As far as the tracklist. I'm guessing hikki hasn't finished the songs yet. And is this an october or november release?

There's too much to keep up with nowadays *sigh* I just want to skip the cover and hear the songs and get this waiting over with

I think he means release date, cover and tracklist ;)

Which I'm dieing for as well!! I wanna know the new song titles!

Those casettes look cool. But I am more interested in her vinyl. All I have is fly me to the moon, and automatic/time will tell vinyls. I wish she still released them. It would be so cool to own the exodus ones. I wonder if that one british shop still has that one devil inside vinyl. Only reason I want it is because it has "Devil Inside (RJD2 Remix Instrumental)" Which we could use to make a vocal track, and remixes. hehe

^ I've been looking for the Exodus era vinyls for ages when I was in London, and they're definitely not in store there anymore. you can find them on eBay and Yahoo Auction Japan quite easily, though.

In Indonesia, the cassette still released until ULTRA BLUE, I think I still can find it from First Love to ULTRA BLUE easily in the local store xDD~ It just about 3 USD each, but Indonesian release =___="

I don't like the lateness...I want them to announce the release date NAO. I want to know if I'll be able to afford it, or not.

Every single one of her albums have always been 3059 yen (36$), so unless she's gonna pull an Avex and release a CD+DVD version, I think Single Collection 2 will also be $36.

that smart-ass knew what i meant. idiot.

anyway, yes. I still wish she were doing a single before it though.

I know at least Pieces of SEVEN and Picaflor were at the NYC show for ITF, so I'm gonna say this! CAN YOU GUYS BELIEVE IT'S BEEN 7 MONTHS?! O_O;

About the cassettes ~ When payday comes around I'm definitely gonna look on Yahoo! Auctions. I really want them. xD My car only has a cassette player (and yes I have that iPod hook up thing) but it'd still be really awesome to have her albums on cassette. Just cause I grew up with those!

About the vinyls~ I have the Exodus '04 one! :) I don't have the Devil Inside or YMMWTBAM ones though.

And about the release date... IKR? When the hell are we gonna get it? I'm still really hoping for an October release but livedoor mentioned something about November? Ughhh, I wish they'd tell us!

It's more about when, not the price.

November 9th. For some reason, that date is in my head for the release of scv2. maybe I'm thinking of something else...

I heard November 3rd from JPM and the 2 wikis....0_o

Aw, before my damn birthday in that case. Oh well, maybe I'll get some early birthday money.
