Enquiries on NEXT LEVEL
 

Hello. I'd just like to ask if the 2CD+DVD version of NEXT LEVEL is limited edition or something? It's been labeled such on CDJapan and Yesasia. And is there any chance that it could be sold in Singapore? OS presses are much much cheaper! D:

Oh, and just a small question. Is the Deji-deji diary worth it? I think it is, but considering that I'm only a student and owes my mom quite a bit of $$, would you still buy it?
But it's out of print at CDJapan anyway. T_T

Yes 2CD+DVD is limited edition

I think there's a chance it might be sold here . It depends whether Warner will be importing or making it locally

I can't be bothered with the 2CDs + DVD . I just get the CD + DVD since I can't be bothered with listening to live audio of the PCDL '08'-09 , I rather wait & get the OS press of the DVD in due time

after what Warner did to Koda Kumi's TRICK , I have a feeling they might import the HK press of NEXT LEVEL

to me :no , it's a total waste of $ & it's so expensive

why not you just download the soft copies scans of it ? it's so much more cheaper & since you're a student , I'm sure you wouldn't mind at all ? I'm sure that there will be people who will scan up the whole book

even if you were to buy it , what are you going to do with it ? you just only be looking at the pics & you can't read the Japanese stuff on the book

sorry if I sound harsh but I don't like seeing people wasting $ on un-necessary items , I rather you use the same amount of $ to buy NEXT LEVEL

Thanks everyone, thank you very much Karen. :)
I have decided to put my plan of buying the book on hold (COS I AM BROKE OMGSZXZXZ D:), be it temporarily or permanently.
And if I like the album cover of this 2CD version more than the CD+DVD version cover, I might just get this one, if the price difference isn't too much >.>
Thanks for all your help! :D

if you're someone who doesn't listen to live recordings of a tour on CD then don't get the 2CDs + DVD if you wish to save a bit on $

personally I'm going for CD + DVD because I rather wait a while to get the DVD for the PCDL '08-'09 as it's a bit idiotic to listen to the live audio , I might as well get the DVD of it when it's out

Oh well I do like listening to some of Ayu's lives, and I really like the fact For My Dear.. is on that CD as well as a couple of other songs, but I do agree that the CD is only a way to milk us $5 extra dollars, I wouldn't say it's that much really, but if you don't like listening to Ayu's lives, it's a waste of money.

frankly I don't mind if it's a CD + 2DVDs package but definitely not a 2CDs + DVD edition

may b..

i could find MW 1st press in d mall in ma city..
tough ma city isnt capital country..
i was shocked when i first saw it..

I personally would love the 2nd CD... omg hearing POWDER SNOW, And Then, SURREAL all these old songs in her new vocals would be like orgasmic!

^Yes, that's true ^^
But I think watching with the DVD, seeing and hearing all the emotions would be 348979361x better. Still, I was considering getting the 2CD one since I wasn't sure if I'm gonna get PCDL >.< But my sister's gonna get me a belated birthday present and she asked me what I wanted -hintnudgehint- >8D
Between AT08 and PCDL, maybe she'll get me one. (:

Same here. I'm very interested to purchase the 2CD+DVD because I believe the lives recording would be magnificent, or else they probably wldn't make it to become a cd or smth. Lives can be great, and I would love to hear her new vocals in older songs.

let's see ... I heard About You / BLUE BIRD about 2-3 years ago so ya

I shouldn't have said that I find it idiotic just to hear the live versions of the PCDL but to me it makes more sense if I were to see & hear it virtually , not just 1/2 the side of the story

that's why I don't mind to pass the 2nd CD at all & I rather settle for CD + DVD

it's a different case if it's CD + 2DVDs though

^ Yepyep. Like what they did with AB2. But then people wouldn't be buying the PCDL DVD. -.= You have to hand it to the companies.
Either way, I think it's a matter of personal preference and Ayu should have a reason for doing so(?).

Sometimes people enjoy the audios from the concert live versions rather than the album versions. Example is ASFXX from CDL 06-07 or any recent performance of SURREAL. But you bring up a very good point with the see & hear it thing. There will be a DVD release of PCDL and you could just rip the audio from that instead of having to pay an additional 5 bucks on your NEXT LEVEL Purchase for an audio cd. I too am debating now whether I should pass on the 2nd CD. Or maybe ill buy the USB I dunno :shrug

Is there any way I can contact Warner to ask if they're bringing in the 2CD version? I'd just like to double-check in case.

their phone no. - 62231688

Well the 2nd CD of the live recordings MIGHT have those annoying audience screaming edited out or something. Hearing that in a live recording is so darn annoying!

^That's cool! 8D
Thanks for the number~! If Warner really does bring in the 2CD version, I think I'll be getting it after all. I really like the cover :luv2 despite what some others say. And with your description of the audio recordings, I've been bought over. (: But if Warner doesn't, I'll just have to stick to the CD+DVD version then /:

Oh yeah LacusClyne, if the live-audio CD would have the extra sounds deleted... wow it's gonna be awesome!

POWDER SNOW, Hana, SIGNAL, And Then... gosh I can't wait to hear these in her voice now!

I don't know about you but I have a feeling that the 2CDs + DVD might be brought over here to be sold ? :shrug

since they always & prefer to bring in albums with DVDs with regards to other avex artistes that're techincally under Warner in here , distributor wise

so ya ... I could be wrong though it's just my assumption/s in this context
