questions about the complete clip box...

[the great x one]

i know the topic has been posted b4 but i have a few questions i think have not been answered yet...

to the people who have bought the japanese and overseas versions (i know there must be hardcore fans out there who buy both!)

ok, so the overseas version has chinese on it. why?
how much chinese is on it? examples: writing on the discs, subtitles if provided, the booklet, the box itself.
i guess to make things short... what parts/contents of the complete clip box has chinese on it?

hmmm, i saw a picture of an overseas version that has a picture in the front at yesasia... like a collage of all the single covers...
how come the japanese version doesnt have this?
the japanese version just has the the regular title...
http://us.yesasia.com/en/prdTransfer...j/version-all/
http://us.yesasia.com/en/prdTransfer...j/version-all/

does anyone know a good website that sells the complete clip box for cheap? i still think that yesasia is expensive for both versions...
i've tried ebay and found good prices but i dont trust the sellers... theres too many bootleg editions...

thanx alot for your time

Answers:
1. The only Chinese on it are on the sticker, separate lyrics sheet(1 for each Disc, Chinese translation), avex survey card.

2. There are NO Chinese subtitles, or writing(in chinese) on any of the discs or the box. Avex Asia and Avex Taiwan did good with this release by not adding subtitles. The booklet included has the original lyrics.

3. The collage thing is just a sort of OBI for the box. The japanese version also has this. Normally, DVDs don't have this kind of "OBI".

4. Look for it on eBay. Some are selling the DVD versions cheaper than at yesasia. Note that there are also VCD versions, but some of the PV's quality gets low at some points. Eg. HANABI ~episode II~ when the part with the fireworks starts, the video goes all blurry or something like that.

Hope this helps.

The booklet included has the japanese lyrics. Also, as I mentioned a few posts above, there are also separate sheets with the Chinese translations(for the overseas).

thanx leafyamazaki


yep, very expensive indeed!

i dont think 3 dvds is worth it for these prices... but hey, its Ayu!

i wonder how much it would be if made in the US... that is if Avex were to have a company here...

[leafyamazaki]

hehe don't mention it. (^_^)V

If it were made in the US, probably around $80+...

[leafyamazaki]

OBI is also known as a "Spine Card".

thx for the information

if u want to download use bit torrent..will take 4 days straight

[the great x one]

ahahaha download it?

nah, the thing with downloading it is you wont have the same optimized quality of a dvd when burned... the specifications when u rip it will stay the same.. (example: the frame rate, sound, and video size of 352 x 240 or whatever)

with a dvd, its frame rate, sound, and video size is optimized
so, in other words, it's sound and display will be presented in the best quality for whatever your tv or system can handle

eh... sounds technical? haha

i'd rather have dvds to watch on my home theater system

i dread vcds...
