Same here, I can totally sympathise.

I can still remember being new JPOP fan and wondering why we don't get first press or other awesome stuff with CD sales here. I still don't get it actually :P First Press or other bonuses really drive up my incentive to get in fast for Ayu, B1A4 and SNSD albums.....

Never heard of this group though, I might hit up JpopSuki :P Seems weird they've gone with a noname group over the like of AKB or TGS........MomoClo etc

Compact discs account for 80% of all music sales in Japan, which experts attribute to bonus material and an aging population that grew up with packaged music.
True but I'm not that old and I have a large CD collection because I always want to have a physical copy of the album in my hands and see no point in downloading off itunes when it's nearly the same price as a CD. The Japanese editions always get bonuses even from Western artists so /single so I can totally see why CDs still continue to reign supreme there.
