She's ridiculously pretty. She's always been pretty, but those covers make her look ridiculously pretty.

I love both B-sides :luv2 . Love Love Love scared me initally cos it was so long at 6 mins + :dead2 but it's great & somehow reminded me of Dream Catcher , I love the violin & Undress's ain't 1/2 bad either this's my 1st time listening to an OLIVIA single in full & I really like it :luv2 , definitely will be getting a copy when the OS press's out this Fri in Taiwan :luv2 |
Thank you for the upload :3 and from what Karen says I think I'm gonna like Love Love Love
|
i've loved sailing free ever since the PV came out, lol. so i totally love it already :love
love love love is really good! but undress will have to grow on me with more listens, but it's not bad. overall, it was a good single! :yes |
Quote:
I like Love Love Love a bit more than Undress but having said that both B-sides are solid at the end of the day :yes |
i love 'Love Love Love' and 'Sailing free.' i don't really care for Undress. and the cover of this single is the best single cover i've seen in a long time. so pretty

Thanks I didn't know what KMC stands for til you said it
Sailing free debuted at #10 today :( - http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/ |
at least it made the top 10! :D that's good enough for me, haha. but yea, it definately deserves to be much higher, though.

Quote:
but look who OLIVIA's up against man - EXILE , GIRL NEXT DOOR & oddly enough they're all label mates except within different sub divisions of avex OLIVIA - cutting edge EXILE - rhythm zone GIRL NEXT DOOR - avex trax |
OLIVIA is at #23 today :(
|
Quote:
ick what happened I think at this rate she can't even get top 20 & let alone top 10 :( |
Maybe she'll pull a Rie fu and barely make it.
|
aww that's too bad about the drop. :(
but i love "Love Love Love"! so pretty! :D |
I was disappointed with Trinka Trinka, but I love Love Love Love~ I always have loved her b-sides tears & rainbows and Ballerina. They are so etheral and beautiful and Love Love Love is fantastic. Her music is really charming and she deserves much more recognition.
|
Quote:
But really, I'll never understand why Olivia doesn't do more promotion for her stuff. |

Love Love Love's so good :luv2 , a pity it wasn't released as a double a-side Quote:
& the Taiwan press for Sailing free's out today & I already asked my friend Cliff to get a copy :D will scan it up as soon as I receive it :) |
Quote:
|
the cover is really beautiful but this is the first single that I don't like from OLIVIA :/ and I think the b-sides are better than Sailing free
|
Quote:
I didn't care for the b-sides really ^^;; Lovex3 sounded like a weak attempt at Winter Sleep and Undress was.... unique |
^ I don't know about you but I got Dream catcher vibes when I 1st heard Love Love Love & not Winter Sleep hmm

Quote:
phew glad that I'm not the only 1 |
I really like this single ^^
|
too bad it's not doing as well as I thought it might be :(
anyway I look forward in getting the single from my Taiwanese friend Cliff in due time so that I can scan everything up :D |
I'm expecting my single too I thought I'd get it yesterday for my birthday guess I'll have to wait
|
Quote:
|
^Just the Regular CD version one
|
Quote:
|
yeah true the CD+DVD has the better cover
|
Quote:
|
yeah Olivia looks soo gorgeous ^^ can't wait for my copy to arrive
I recieved Next Level and ABS - Strength yesterday on my birthday |
thanks for bigger covers! She so beautiful =)
|
So what happened to the mini movie from the DVD? I've seen no mention of it but I'd really like to watch it.
|
I just PayPal'd my Taiwanese friend for the OS press / CD + DVD of Sailing free :D
I think I will be getting it alongside with some other singles that I ordered from him hopefully by next weekend :cool & he will mail everything out tomorrow :yatta |
Love love love is fantastic!
someone has the lyrics? |
^ "Sailing free" is the only song up on Uta-Net.

Oooh *_*
Thank you very muuch! |
Sailling free's debut position for the 1st week
25 2,418 OLIVIA :( :( :( :( :( ugh this's so depressing |
Surprising now how 2k gets you #25 when like two years agos it would be lower.
|
Quote:
this's so depressing :( , I really thought that it might get another top 10 for OLIVIA just like her NANA singles but guess not |
at least she made the top 30!
|
heeey, i asked once, but i'll ask again...what happened to the olivia short movie (making of the zapper) on the sailing free single??? does anyone have it? i've looked all over the internet but i can't find even a clip of it. :(

I'm still waiting for my single (OS press) to come somewhere this week . I see if it's there in the DVD . If there's then I will upload it Quote:
I don't recall any form of promo with regards to Sailing free at all |
Quote:
|
^ Well it is more of she doesn't do big or even decent promotion. Something like one performance on a music show or just more aggressively putting her release out there. She seems to stick the minimal amount of promotion.
|
Quote:
I don't recall her doing massive amounts of promo for any of her material ? I could be wrong about it though |
I wouldn't say massive but the NANA time period; I seen more of Olivia performing and promoting. Even if it wasn't all her choice, she was still out there.
|
not even 2.5k? THAT'S IT?
|
Quote:
|
^ Not really. At least not now.
|
wow it was awesome that I saw Sailing free on MTV Asia before I left with my family for a seafood dinner
they really translate the title Sailing free directly to chinese (航向自由) -_-''' & that goes for OLIVIA's name too (奧莉維亞) I didn't got my Sailing free single today T_T . I have a feeling I will be getting them alongside with 4 other singles from my friend Cliff on Mon if that's the case |
^ I really hope the Zapper movie is worth the wait. -.-''
|
I think the zapper movie is worth it :3 It's pretty cute and I love hearing olivia speak Japanese. Sailing free in good quality was also great. The PV is 2x as beautiful without all the pixelness
|
Quote:
|
out of the 2.5k she sold how many of you bought 1
me me me! |
i bought 1.. though i do not think many people here bought a copy because the asian pop fandoms are full of pirates :rolleyes
|
I bought the Taiwan press from my friend Cliff
I thought I might have gotten it yesterday but looks like it will be tomorrow |
hook me up with your friend cliff, karen :lech
|
Quote:
dude send me a PM cos I think Cliff still has a copy or 2 of the Taiwan press of Sailing free on his end he hasn't list it for sale on his ebay shop so yup |
is there a difference between the japan press and the taiwan press?
|
Quote:
1) price . I probably pay for about 1/2 the price for a Taiwan press as compared to the Japan press 2) region code . Japan's 2 while Taiwan/S'pore's 3 3) translation sheet . Taiwan will include a Chinese translation sheet with traditional chinese words . You don't get that in a Japan press 4) OBI . It's a known fact (OK maybe not) that the centre of the OBI pertaining to Taiwan presses made by avex Taiwan are blue & white . It can be ugly depending on how picky you're when comes to OBI's but other than that , avex Taiwan rocks . They don't hold back when comes to quality of the items that they produced in Taiwan unlike Warner Music S'pore :innocent |
i should start buying taiwanese presses then!
thanks for the info karen |
Quote:
I always go for OS presses if I can as they're much cheaper for me to afford & the quality's good + another incentive on why I prefer OS presses is because of the DVD region code as I can't watch region code 2 DVDs in my laptop except maybe if I play it in the DVD player that's found in my house's living room |
Quote:
|
not trying to but in but that is stealing regardless.. i dont have money for those new jimmy choos at the time of their release but i stole them and plan to buy them later... ya see? :yes
anyway pirates or not lets enjoy OLIVIA's music |

YES SAILING FREE HAS CAME from my Taiwanese friend Cliff earlier on alongside with 4 Johnny's singles :
http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/3332/dsc01030v.jpg it's my 1st single that I got of OLIVIA & :luv2 , the whole packaging's awesome . Further proof that avex Taiwan rocks & I'm surprised that the casing that was used's the 'fat' kind as compared to the other 4 that I have You can download the scans of the single via http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1905045 I'm not able to scan up the front & back covers because of the casing & I will be worried if I were to use brutal force to yack the thing off @_@ so I only scanned up the CD , DVD , lyrics sleeve & the sticker very pretty package overall :luv2 |
thank goodness I'm sitting in front of the internet modem at home lmao because I managed to upload everything from the Sailing free's DVD :D
http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=89344 |
I really enjoyed the upload of the tracks from SAILING FREE ^__^ I downloaded TRINKA TRINKA a while ago and bought it today with some Jolin things :)
I was going to get the new single too, but....I'm a bit confused. There is, on HMV HK, the Japan version, the HK version, then the Basara Version with a DVD. The page has no info at all, leaving me wondering what the heck this different (and kinda pricey) version is! |
Quote:
& as far as OS presses go , all of OLIVIA's material are made in Taiwan & never in Hong Kong & yes it does get very confusing :dead2 you see - http://www.hmv.com.hk/search/search_...g+free&fmt=Any the one that's priced HK$85 , it's Taiwan press , it's the same one that I got from my Taiwanese friend Cliff yesterday : http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/3332/dsc01030v.jpg sorry don't mind the Johnny's items that I have on there :lmfao & another rule of thumb's to check the catalogue no. . YesAsia unfortunately doesn't state it but HMV HK does . If the 1st 3 alphabets of an OS press's AVJ , then it's a Taiwan press if it's AAJ , it's made in Hong Kong |
Quote:
I got AVJ for TRINKA TRINKA :yes So that's good! It would be so much easier if they had a picture of the Basara ver or just a tracklist >_< Sometimes releases can be so hard to decode! :thud I'll probably get the single later on when the next album comes out :yes |
Quote:
oh so your copy of Trinka Trinka's taiwan press & it's CD + DVD since avex Taiwan didn't do it for the CD only Mine's Japan press & I got the CD only locally from HMV . I didn't want to get the CD + DVD be it for Japan or Taiwan press cos I can download the Rain PV off the net Also another incentive for me to get the CD only's because of the photobook which's 1st press Quote:
|
^ Ack! I know >_< I thought she'd quit because of the long break between her NANA singles and her latest releases ;__;
|
Quote:
it's just that her releases are so unpredictable , it's hard to tell what's her next move T_T |
Sailing free's at
90 *,905 OLIVIA :dead2 ick a BIG drop from last week's #25 to #90 :dead2 :( Total sales so far - 3,323 |
I think I just had a heart attack D:
|
I haven't heard all the tracks of the new single, only Sailing free.. Oh my.. What a disappointing song. It's reminding me of Stars Shining out (Correct me if the song has another name, it's long time ago I listened much to OLIVIA), but her voice is really, REALLY annoying to me. And the PV.. Uff. I'd only hear a bit of the others, as I didn't have time, but they sounded boring too..
|
Quote:
|
I want another full length album. Even if it serves as a compiliation for the mini albums with a few new songs like The Lost Lolli. :(
|
The mini albums work really well for her. Not sales wise but does help in that songs on there that are good do bloat a full album well.
|
Since a a while now, OLIVIA is releasing flavorless inoffensive rock songs. Sure, we get used to them, and like them, but real artistry like before?? No, that's completely gone. She still has it in her, it's just that she doesn't try.
I remember her saying writing mmusic was very difficult to her, so she got help from others. Those others might be guiding OLIVIA through a more commercial route, disguising weak songs as rocking numbers, and OLIVIA blinded and thankfful for being ale to create music, releases them. I'm not talking about lyrics, only music, but tell me, do you think we will ever listen something as delicate and otherworldly and Dreamcamp? or completely nuts as Sugarbloodsuckers? Poor OLIVIA, her two b-sides to Sailing Free were easily throwaway. But the cover picture was delicious! |
this thread totally died ~ |
Quote:
her releases are very unpredictable somemore |
Hope we get another mini album/full album next. She seems to be getting into a regular releasing streak here.. hopefully something else by the end of the year. Mini albums do work for her, I honestly think she must prefers them over full albums. Don't think she likes to set herself too many songs to write at once.
|
Hm, I like the song Sailing Free, but it's true, she was better before her NANA works... I love Lost Lolli! And Sea me is still my favourtie song (and single) of her.
I'd love to have another album with alternative rock, but she needs so much time to release anything. That's so sad. But if we get a another great album I don't care about waiting a little bit longer. |
I think TILL her Nana Song's she is better :o I love the Mini Album "Trinka Trinka" and the Single "Sailing free" <3
But the NANA Songs are still the BEST, that she done IMO. |
I like Olivia, but it can be frustrating being her fan.. She always makes us wait so long for new releases, and we're always forced to wonder if she's even going to release anything again!
|
Quote:
at least from all the avex artistes that I support , I can tell she's 1 of the rare ones that's not really forced by avex to place a lot of emphasis on quantity rather than quality which should be the way but sometimes waiting for her to come up with something new takes FOREVER :dead2 Quote:
but yeah those were really good & still are despite being released 3 years ago :heart |
Quote:
Quote:
Olivia said herself in her blog one time that she don't wanna release anything just for the sake of it. It's good Avex doesn't force her but sometimes I'm wondering why they keep her because her current sales aren't that good and with rare releases she's even making less money... :weep Oh and I love her NANA stuff as well but since then she's lacking something I don't know. Maybe she's in a creative crisis? |

because you can tell the material going on during the NANA era , it was dark , angsty & moody when Trinka Trinka was released , it was somewhat peppy & upbeat which's a nice change |
