my problem is now i'm gonna have to wait the custome fee T___T

extra charge? O_O,but I chose the FedEx shipments...

that really really sucks about CDJ
had I ordered from them... I probably would have had to cancel...
I guess it was lucky I ordered from yesasia...
even though I won't get mine very fast...X_X

sorry if I'm being a pain... but what image is on the first press poster exactly??

all of yours are being shipped now?
my hmv stil lsays Orders status: Order in progress

nope.the status now is still in shipping process
wonder if they will send them out tomorrow or monday

@toniayu,i'm not sure if they will do so or not because i never order such heavy item from them before XD
but since cdjapan is doing so,i don't see why play-asia won't do so.well,lets wait and see

Thank god I didn't ordered the Box Set from CDJ or anywhere else for that matter but if I did order I would have been saved from that lucrative shipping price since I'll pay with IPMO and I'm still not over paying over $77 for customs.

Yup! And the best thing about YA is that if you order early enough and they jack up the price later, you never pay more. I never shop at CDJapan, because their shipping prices are ridiculous!

6100 Yen shipping charge for the box itself =___="
I won't order from CDJapan anymore, really...
I prefer get my CD 2-5 days later using HMV than paying so much extra expensive shipping fee again T___T

*say bye bye to CDJapan*

but......they didn't charge you anything anymore if you are using paypal.o.O
isn't this good?i mean,maybe we can use paypal to pay for limited edition boxset in the future :P

HTMSD, did you pay yours using paypal? if it's paypal, they won't charge you anymore~~

@AyUmIXx
I use CC instead of paypal, since BCA allow me to pay it 6 times with surcharge 0,67% fee per month (Indonesian word : Cicilan) =___="
Looking at my 900 yen coupon and 560 yen frequent points, now I just wanna laughs since I can't apply them anymore in my order... Hahahahahhaha~~~

*stressed out*

I think the excepted payment methods for the extra charge when you ordered the Box set are PayPal, Money, International Postal Money Order, and maybe AliPay although I'm not 100% sure

that's upsetting. I haven't received an email yet though. I'm hoping I don't...can anyone in North America confirm this extra charge who paid with a credit card?

^ You'll probably have to pay more since they haven't charged your credit card yet.
The only exceptions are the ones whose payment they've already received.

we'll see..if they do, I'm going to try and fight them. I usually win at these kinds of things... Lol

Good Luck :D Hopefully you guys win~

Most of the time, when it's "in shipping progress" on CDJapan, means that the package was already shipped (like once, I received the email saying my order has been shipped and I received my order the same day I received the email lol)
Most likely going to receive my order on wednesday or maybe with some luck tuesday <3

Can't wait!!

The album has finally leaked in 320kbps ^^

Is it the real one?
Because yesterday I found a 320kbps version, and count down, Last Links & meaning of Love were only the 64kbps forced into 320 -_-


EDIT: If you talk about the one at KMC, it's the fake I found yesterday, I just checked.

loves it!
wait, where?

Listening to it, I think that those 3 songs ARE forced into 320kbps, just like Luna said ^^ It's pity, but oh well, I hope we'll get the REAL one soon^^

!!!

Download link please! :D

I think the earliest we'll get a real leak is tomorrow, after the concert if they sell them there. Unless they don't sell it then we're waiting for the week to start :(

I hope so much that it will be released at the concert! XD

oh my CDJ's really mean man... but thank God I'm getting the OS press and not the box, so...

Urgh.. I'm so jealous with you guys here! I just could sit and wait for the album to arrived at the nearby store 2 or 3 or 4 or more weeks after the released.. :(

GUYS I CAN'T AFFORD THE BOX NOW!!! DDDDDDDD':
WHAT DO I DO!?
I COMPLETELY forgot about how they upgrade if it's too heavy, and I used a credit card...... Do you think they'll let me switch payment options???? 'Cause if not, I'm gonna have to give up my box....

Hah... haven't been here for a day or so and 12 pages already for a new thread :P.

wait... what happen to your credit card? where did you preorder it (HMV, cdjapan, amazon.jp)??

I ordered from CDJapan, and since I used a credit card to pay, they're making me pay for the "upgrade" in shipping, otherwise I don't get the box.....
I emailed them and asked if I can change my payment method to PayPal... I don't see why not. I mean, it would be utterly retarded it they don't, honestly. So I'm literally going to explode if they refuse. Seriously. It's ********. I want that ****ing box, but I'm not paying nearly a hundred dollars in shipping for it.

Currently downloading 320kbps 130+ megabyte rip of Rock'n'Roll Circus.

Hope this is the real deal.

If it is, expect it.

^ It better be! :P *Prays*

I'm not getting my hopes up just yet, but if it is then I can't wait *___*

OMG! I'm sad for this!! T_T I pre-ordered the box from PlayAsia :( hope they don't do this too....
Wow... all I can say to you and the rest is... FIGHT!!!!
This is not supposed to happen! :shakehead they can't do something like this....:grumpy you have to tell them that they should have predicted these kind of things...:irked
They must have sold other boxes before....right? :eviltongu

PlayAsia...DON'T. EVEN. THINK. ABOUT. IT!! :gnash DxD!

Mmmm....does someone knows what would the fee for the customs be? In USA?
If the box is 2-2.5 kg as some said...they will charge me, right? U.U'' (didn't know this could happen T_T)

It's the real deal.

Tags are kinda wonky in Winamp but fine in iTunes, and the single tracks all appear to have been ripped from singles (boo.) with the album tracks all being normal including RED LINE.

^link us man, don't keep us in the dark :D

YEA! lol I retagged my ripped singles too to put them in the RnRC album in iTunes when I got the LQ and HQ songs together. :evillaugh

The download was a RayFile download.

That should tell you of where it came from since only like 4 places use it, haha.

downloading the 320kbs real rip <3

hopefully someone has the balls to upload it soon for the rest of us "little stupid people" in their eyes :l

^ did you download it from AC or something? lol otherwise... mind sharing? :D

I'm uploading the individual tracks right now, ohoho~ I wish my upload were faster, haha.

I hope no one posts it before they finish because AHS WILL crash if they do. And if they do post it, I'll at least have mirrors ready.

oh I'm waiting for this =D

^ ahah totally, I'm also uploading it anyway :)

It's not so hard to guess where the leak is since Raysource is a chinese software and it's not AC (I don't even have an account there lol)

Basically, haha.

RayFile/RaySource is a huge pain though if the file is huge.

-hopes this goes faster-

oh Lol I wasn't too sure... but thank you & truehappiness! It's 5am in my country now and I can't believe I found this surprise xD

Okay so my download is done now, uploading ~~

It's up in the download section: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=100151

Yay, hopefully AHS won't crash lol.

sorry, no d/l'ing for me until I have the actual copy in my hands next week..

getting the special edition with concert dvd/tea set rules:D

Oh my...
It's very hard to resist the temptation Dx

Thanks...anyways ^^
*resists*

This album is mysteriously cohesive in the same way that (miss)understood and Memorial address were...

AMAZING.

Did you guys noticed?
YA already has the collectables!!!! beautiful!
http://www.yesasia.com/us/search/ham...&vm=32&s=1&l=1

How much is the tea and cookie set? In US dollars of course.

20USD for a strap -.- plus shipping maybe 22USD O.O

I love the wristbands though!

no tea & cookies? :(

Apparently... I think it's just for the LIMITED BOX xD

^ But when th posted the goods, there was a tea and cookie set available. :confused


@identity Yeah! I just noticed they're not there! :thud why?!

I also really want the spiraled notebook, which is only $14 :D.

don't feel like buying from yesasia >.<
maybe i should wait someone receive theirs and sell them here.but hopefully the price isn't that expensive.

Tea and cookies are not there because YesAsia doesn't sell food items usually.

I like everything x__x I want everything :thud
But....because I bought the box...I must contain myself :o

@AyUta.... mmm... I'm very sorry to say this...but that is jut fair *hides*
At least that is what I think... *hides again*

EDIT: wait...I thought you guys were talking about the tea and the mug xD sorry...my bad.
I didn't know there were these goods. Sorry.

^ That's okay :). :laugh

@th Aw, is there another way I can get a set? Or maybe someone here will buy extra and they can sell it to me? Paypal! :D

Yes, someone who is going can buy you a set or you can ask someone who is a member of TeamAyu to get it for you and send it to you via Tenso.

the only way is to wait those people who receives it,sell them at ebay etc?
honestly,i think its better to buy from cdjapan.at least its secure.you'll never know if the seller you bought from ebay will pack them nicely or not.for sure cdjapan will pack them nicely to avoid damage during shipping.i don't see the point to cancel the order now just because of the shipping fee

you can read the thread I made about joining TA in the Chat Room. To join you need a japanese address and Tenso gives you one. They receive items and send it to you. You have to pay them shipping (they ship you by EMS and the price is what CDJapan often charges imo). -I give more detail in the thread ^^-

In the same thread I explain how to register Mu-Mo. Registering mu-mo you'll be able to buy the set ot tea+cookies ^^ (and more ^^)

^ I had to do that with my Limited box...~
Cancel because the shipping fee was 8200 yen~
So the total came to 211.84 USD for me.......
Y___Y~ Such a sad day- Especiallly after the time I waited for the shipping status to change last night---~

Are there any pics of those goods? I haven't seen any o.o''
And how much are they? o///o?

aura~, is it safe? I mean... wow! an opportunity to be a TA member? *_________*

http://shop.mu-mo.net/avx/sv/list2?j...g_id=201303035

you can see them ALL in mu-mo... YA is selling ALL except the fan&stick lights and the cookies+tea set ^^

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=100071

Check the first post here regularly for updates about the tour and goods.

Well, I became TA member in another way, but so many user here became TA members lately thanks to this explanation ^^ Hatix (ahs user too ^^) found that TENSO website, he is the first I know to became TA member this way, and he has already recived his TA member card ^^ So yeah... seems like it's safe ^^

@th and walkingproud Thanks! I don't want to join TA though, for me it would be a waste of money. I would be greatful if anyone here would buy an extra set and sell it to me :). I would be willing to pay through paypal, you would just have to wait until I get my check, which is on the 3rd of May.

Thank you both! ^^

So...it can be done :yes
Aww :( the bad thing (the one I forget all the time) is the money...:dead2
When you said... "To join you need a japanese address and Tenso gives you one" I totally thought it would be enough... but then I remembered :thud

Ahh cant wait for the tour!
lol its funny how some people are slightly disappointed..but you cant really blame Ayu at the same time. Coz the hype was all psychological ahahha...
the tour goods looks soooooooooo gd

For all the people about to cancel their boxes because of the outrageous shipping, wait just a bit longer. I'm awaiting a response on whether or not I can switch the payment to PayPal........................ I really don't want to give up my box. :( *sigh* (Then again, maybe this is a sign. I really can't even afford it in the first place, even if I get them to pay for the upgrade.... I'm so confused. :cry)

call them, i'm sure they will let you switch payment options.

i actually just switched payment options at yesasia tonite because i stupidly got a new debit card and activated it, deactivating my old one that i purchased the album with. thank god i realized what i had done in time!!!!

Man, if Yesasia does it, CDJ HAS to. :mad I'm still waiting for them to reply...


EDIT:
I gave up my box. And funny enough, I couldn't care less, lol!! :shakehead I think it was mostly the hype that got me, honestly.... And you know what? I figured out that another huge reason I'm so wishy-washy and iffy about this album is because I was kinda regretting getting that expensive-ass thing, hah.... I mean, from what I've seen of the concert, it's not something I'd buy (or even if I do end up buying it, it'll be after several other ones). And now that I look at the mug, it's kinda cheap... So yeah. THERE'S ANOTHER BOX UP FOR SALE, FOR THOSE WHO WANT IT!!! :P I, instead, will be getting the DVD version, along with two Kumi albums. Whoo!!~ ^_^
I am a bit sad that I won't be entered in the lottery now. But whatever. My luck is terrible, anyhow. XP Still praying for a lyrics sheet, though.... :cry

But :thud
Did they answered your email? Why did you give up? My, I would not give up like that lol. I guess you really did not want it that much :rolleyes I wish I could have the money to get it, but I hardly bought the CD+DVD n_nU

Anyhow, enjoy what you can buy now ;)

PS: And do not think of it as bad luck. It happened for a reason n_n

No, they didn't answer the email. And yeah, I realised, I didn't want it that much, ah hah.. :X I mean, maybe if it were my favourite album, or if I could only get the photobook like that.... But if I want the tour, I can get it, certianly. And if I want tea, I can easily find that--I can even make a mug, one that looks better! :laugh So yeah. Like I said, it was just the hype, I suppose... I felt special, lol. But this whole time, I had doubts about getting it, ever since I ordered. And now I feel really great about the album, and especially about what I'm purchasing instead. What I'm getting now is at least fifty dollars cheaper, too. That'll help me a lot, since, I like said, I really shouldn't have gotten that thing in the first place. Way too much money for all I have right now. :(

I gladly give up my box to somebody who wants it more--Get them F5 fingers ready, guys!! :lmfao

And yeah, you're probably right. It must have happened for a reason, if only it was to save the fifty dollars for something I'll need soon, hah. Who knows..... Maybe I gave up the box and am instead gonna get a DVD version with the lyrics!!!!!!!!! :thud........ Yeah, right. :laugh

^ "It happened for a reason n_n" ~
That's a pretty good way to think about it-....After having the same issue occur with myself and having to make the same decision--
Now, I've figured to just order the DVD with the Album seperately- As I'll also be getting 2 posters and a photobook with those - So it doesn't make me feel THAT bad~
:)
And now I have some extra money to use on other things~
:luv2

wow.hard decision.but i hope you will not regret in the future XD

my CD-only is finally in shipping process *___*... I wonder when amazon will ship my box... I really can't wait~~~

You could get the lyrics! why not? :D

Yes, I think you are better now. I am sure everyone had a hard moment thinking whether to buy the box or not, and bought it at the end because they new it would sold out fast. Pressure?

She will not regret it, Ayu said "Don't look back" remember? lol

I completely understand you... I cancelled my box set on CDJapan too because I realize I can't afford it and I'd rather buy something else and I think I made the right decision~

My CD-only is finally in shipping process too! Fuu, I was worried something might have been wrong with my payment, although they sent a confirmation email. My paranoid self cannot be reasoned with! 8D

Aww, all the boxes you guys gave up :( That sucks D: I don't see any updates at CDJ though, probably people snatched it up already XD

lol, random pictures of the guys in the Lady Dynamite PV :rofl

http://bloggfiler.no/steffster.blogg...0880266887.jpg

SO MUCH COLOR!!!

wow, thats one fun looking crew!!! i'd love to go get a drink with them! :yes

^^ OMG GANGURO :laugh

Wow, where are those pictures from? Heh, we finally got a good closeup on them! XD

I dont think CDJapan will allow us to pay the previous price even if we change the payment method to paypal.

Is it a joke ? @____@

wowww those female-look men!!!
LOL..
awesome finding, Maxker!!!

what happen.why your order is on hand o.O
supposingly it should be in shipping process

gosh i donno when mine will be in shipping process T_____________T

is anyone's box from CDjapan already in shipping process, mine isn't so i definitly won't get it before or on the release date :( or CDjapan must still send it out today, but wouldn't that be weird since it's the weekend :S

I looked into my Play-Asia account and in order details said in the order status:
"order received".
which means?O_o

It means your order is confirmed by them, next status shall be order shipped.:P

Nandokanji, mine is still on hand and processed or something~
i wont' getmine that fast too~

@toniayu
It means (I think xD) that they have the boxes already and that they might ship them in any moment now ^0^! Or... is it that they just got your payment and marked your order as recieved just now? o.o?

What did it say before?

hmm,if they have the stocks with them,they will usually written there ready to dispatch something like that.

this is why i hate yesasia...they never start doing anything till the day of release, so you have to wait forever to receive your item. :(

but cdj was already sold out of the limited box, so i had to make the sacrifice.

thanks abby,thanks nanakopy ^^ must wait
