Last thread:
I love it she looks gorgeous.

I never worry about sales that much but I do want her to sell good.
With the tsunami and everything I expect it to be low but
We can hope right and is all about the music always.

Thank you so much for posting the pics of the album! I can't wait until I get my copy so I can see it in person!

omg that's some neat packaging going on for both editions of Checkmate !

too bad I'm not buying it because I only will listen to the 1st 2 songs in the tracklist :x

Sweet jesus. I need HQ scans.
the packaging looks killer

omg i can't wait for the HQ scans :yatta

So saddened I saw those pics before I held the actual copy in my hands, but so excited because I know I'm gonna like what I see when I get it hahaha I just want those pv's in HQ not to mention I'm over watching Do Whatchu Gotta Do on my zune with logos plastered on it!!

it looks amazing !!!

The package looks really great :) I actually love digi-packs. They look so luxe.

^and protect the jewel case sometimes :innocent

The album is pretty.

I'm hoping to pick up a copy my copy at Kinokuniya in NYC when I go there next week. :)

Yeah I agree. I also love digi packs. They have some sort of "special feeling". I really like my BEST FICTION digi pack :yes

I love my BF digipack too! The one for P<F is really awesome too. :luv2

Arrgh, when are we going to get a real rip? D: I kind of expected one today.

I was expecting one soon too

it's a holiday, be patient. it wont get ripped the second it's released.

I can't wait to get my hands on the rip. :D I can't believe I'm saying this but Namie's the only Japanese female artist whose music releases I actually look forward to nowadays. :yes (mind you I didn't become a fan of hers until late 2009) Other prominent Japanese artists that I normally listen to just fell off the map for me. It's a damn shame. :(

That packaging looks quite nice though. Not a fan of the whole color scheme but at the end of the day it's just packaging. :P

^same boat with you.
She makes good music.
