yeah Japan presses are never cheap but hey this's ARASHI we're talking about :lmfao

tomorrow the 1st day sales of All the BEST ! will be announced & I do hope the no.s will be good

exactly. these boys are so expensive! LOL! :D i bet the numbers are going to be huge, karen... :yes

whoa, the packaging looks awesome for the LE! :D
& yeah, i'm glad it's a digipak instead of those fat cases avex uses. :P

i actually really like the NE bonus track! if it was longer & if they like...rapped slower, LOL, then it would've been the perfect song. :heart but since it's not....i'll stick with the LE. :laugh

lol I knew it that Eirynne's going to comment on the packaging of All the BEST ! , somehow or another

I wonder will the digipak concept apply to the regular edition or not & this will be the 1st time for me to own an album that contains 3 discs & is housed in a digipak !

I mean I have some singles & albums that're housed in digipaks but they only contain 1 or 2 discs & never 3 discs so this will be a 1st for me :D

Preview pics of Aiba for MY GIRL - http://community.livejournal.com/arashi_on/2013629.html

aww

lol karen, sho doing the peace sign in your sig is ADORABLE :luv2

and aiba looks so nice in those "My Girl" pics! i totally can't wait for the drama.

thanks Lisa & I'm going to change my signature to abs's soon since Kimi no Uta & let alone Matsushita Yuya's Honesty will be out next week :D

omg it's finally today ! (for me lol) . All the BEST ! is released in Japan

I'm so going to call HMV tonight to ask them about news regarding the album

I hope the LE will arrive today if not tomorrow *prays

i'm so so excited for the sales! i don't think i'll be able to sleep! (well, i probbably will, but...i'm just so excited!) :laugh

Oh God, I can't wait any longer to receive my CD! :no But it seems my order is STILL IN SHIPPING PROCESS... :( Guess it'll be shipped today and hopefully, I will be able to receive it till Saturday coz I will be out-of-town this Sunday and won't be back till Saturday next week... :no And i do hope it won't be subject to customs tax! I don't want no more delays! I just wanna get hold of my CD NOW! And most importantly, I dont wanna shed off more money to pay customs! Ugghhh! :mad

:laugh

oh no I haven't bought the Japan press yet , Kaori

soon assuming if stock for it were to come this week & yes I did considered to get the OS press but since HMV's bringing in 11 copies + of the limited edition over here , why not ? :laugh

despite the future big hole in my pocket ugh :dead2

you will get it soon like karen says its already sold in japan
jesus so lucky!!

lol nothing but the best for ARASHI :laugh

Hope i'll get it soon... CDJapan, what is wrong with you?! LOL! :eviltongu

my order has been shipped today :yatta
I can't wait to receive it :bchuck

the LE package is <3 (*-*)
eeeehh. wait the album also leaked? and I can't download it before tomorrow :weep

actually minna dear it's very easy to rip All the BEST ! in 320kpbs (assuming if you have their 1st 8 albums)

you just ripped the singles from them & then ta-dah & that goes for the 3rd disc too

the only thing missing's 5x10 & the hidden track

I mentioned before that it's said that the Taiwan press of the album will be out on 11th Sept

I do hope it's true , so far nothing's firmed up on avex Taiwan's end

EDIT - OMG someone from HMV called me earlier on to say that the limited & regular editions of All the BEST ! are IN already from Japan :thud

I'm going to collect my LE copy tomorrow since only 5 copies were brought in & the staff over the phone was so kind enough to reserve the last LE copy for me since I keep going to HMV so often to extent that she recongised me LMFAO :lmfao

it will set me for S$84.95 :dead2 :dead2 & the regular's going for S$66.95 T_T

I really wished that I was able to get 2-3 more copies of the LE for you guys (Eirynne , Lisa & Kaori) but I do hope you understand :(

at most I can get the Taiwan press for you next month in which that can do :D

OMG I'm so excited now :smitten & I was told that the packaging for the RE & LE are different

RE's being housed in a standard CD casing while the LE's of course a digipak from the preview photos that were uploaded a while back ago

1st day sales for All the BEST !

http://i26.tinypic.com/2qjen2r.jpg

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/

real healthy at 261,076 copies sold on the 1st day & :O at BIG BANG !'s sales tally at #2 with 12,084

it's pretty much another #1 in the bag for the guys :heart

^ Do you remember what the first day sales were for their most recent album?

I unfortunately don't know how much their 1st 2 compilations albums sold on the 1st day

sales tally for both were really low/bad . Like for ARASHI's 2nd compilation album 5×5 The Best Selection of 2002←2004 , last I checked , it only moved 187,526* while their 1st one ARASHI Single Collection 1999–2001 , only cleared 154,676* :dead2

if you're talking about Dream"A"live , its 1st day sales were 86,692
