You were.../BALLAD in Singapore
 

yayy thanks for creating this thread! looking forward to getting this single!
whooo!

the HMV staff will give me a call on that but something tells me that the single might or might not arrive til mid Jan X___X

I don't know because Japan's going to have their long new year holidays from tomorrow til 3rd-4th Jan 2010 but hopefully I will be proven wrong on that

Also new jpop stock seldom comes on a Tue & the staff told me that the carrier usually ships new jpop releases out on a Tue so I doubt the stock will be in by today

tomorrow or Thurs , maybe ?

i'm sorry can i ask this? is the release date is the same in malaysia?

ayuworld,i think you need to wait MONTHS later since we are always late to see ayu's cd on sales here.but i think the most efficient was NEXT LEVEL.if not mistaken,some ayu fans said they are able to buy NEXT LEVEL 1month after the release date.so,if you want it,you can always buy it online

the staff called me yesterday & I did asked them about this week's releases

it's hanging on mid air in that they don't know if they will get You were ... / BALLAD & the other jpop releases this week

it's hard to tell because they don't have any control with regards to the carrier's side

ahh..that was what i thought.it'll be late a month. yeah i remember seeing NEXT LEVEL in the stores just a month later. it's ok for me as i can save my money for that :P

Just like me!

i know TW press has the changeable cover but they don't have the posters.thats what i saw from most of the online stores that sell TW press

you always can ask Cliff you know :laugh

usually they're able to get 1st press copies of singles/albums

like most recently for alan's my life , they brought in the 1st press / CD only which has the photobook

when NEXT LEVEL was released , they brought in the 1st press / CD only which has the special green packaging CD casing too

Also most releases like for those more well known jpop artistes inclusive of Johnny's , HMV usually places an order to HMV Japan a month prior to the release date of an album/single

CD only of You were ... / BALLAD is already on sale at both HMV Somerset & Citylink stores !

it's going for S$22.95 & it's 1st press as expected :heart

I was at the Citylink outlet 1st followed by the Somerset outlet so I made sure I was there to double check on things :laugh

man, all you singaporians are so lucky (if I spelled that right). You can walk in a store and just buy tons of japanese cds and stuff. (from what I've read) :eviltongu I wish I could do that. XD

I forgot to ask them yesterday D:

I'm going back again later as I need to settle some things with them so I will ask them at the mean time

lol it's Singaporeans xD :laugh & getting jpop stuff here is quite accessible & readily available here

especially at the 2 HMV shops that's located in my country

karen,the stocks at HMV is JP press?

wow.. its another of such thread already. Time flies!

I am buying it. But so out of touch with all the first-press goodies info / exchangeable covers info etc. lol

yup :yes & it came yesterday

HK presses for both CD + DVD's of the single will be made available later here

^ aw T_T

you can get from Travis though since he has 2 posters that uses the same pic of ayumi xD :laugh

because the NEXT LEVEL is malaysia press, which is cheaper than the imported OS press.

they dont release a malaysian press for single, you have to wait for the OS press to come and it takes a century :thud and the price is terrible too

I don't think a poster will be given for You were ... / BALLAD

then again , Sunrise / Sunset & even Rule / Sparkle didn't had any

CD Rama is selling both HK press / CD + DVD's of You were ... / BALLAD at S$15.95 each
