I think I didn't see any Keep Tryin' discussion, I always knew that the song was about hikki wish she could make some stuff from her work better.
Never knew those things about the PV though!

I'm a fan of hikki since the beginning of 2005 ^_^"

[bluegie]

wow.. that means you have been a fan the year she released Be My Last .

It was really fun to watch Keep Tryin' pv cuz it reflected what hikki did for the past 2 or 3 years on her pvs. It is also the last pv project with Kaz ...

wow, that's great. I've been a fan since... 2003 Ever since I played KH. But I became really interested in her works in 2004 when I was exposed to her japanese albums.

[bluegie]

how many of you starting loving hikki since... 1999 then? (I raised my hand LOL).
I guess it would be shocking to meet someone who has been hikki fan since Dec 1998 in AHS..

[xiaou-xijiang]

^I had no internet then. before 2000 was the dark ages for me.

[Luv ~Venus~]

I know right! I didn't even know what the internet was until what...2001 or 2002. I didn't get into Hikki until 2003/2004 which was the KH/Exodus era.

xiaou-I posted in the KH thread...I need a question be answered...I posted it over in the KH thread. Could you please answer it? Terrik isn't much help! T_T

[xiaou-xijiang]

^I'll be over in two shakes.

I remember buying Exodus from Amazon so cheap. It was great.

[Luv ~Venus~]

^

Thankies!

I shop at amazon! That place is great...especially if you want to Hikki albums for cheep, even her recent singles are cheap. I just her new album will be cheap on there when it comes out. I'm really tryin' to keep myself from spending 30 dollars + tax on her new album. I just wish UU06 was up for sale on there. I cannot find it anywhere on Amazon!!!

[xiaou-xijiang]

^nooooooo!
stay away from Amazon for imports. They'll suck you dry. (60$ for a CD + shipping/tax = wtf?)
Get her albums OS on Yesasia for like 17.99. singles you can get for 9.00.

[Luv ~Venus~]

^*rub cheeks*

i know....I saw Hikki's best album sale for a whooping 70 bucks! I was pissed because that was the only price I saw it for....thh used price was 50 bucks. I hurried and clicked out of it. T_T Yesasia? I read that place suck you dry too. I've been there for and I find that they charge a bundle for some of Hikki's stuff...of course that was way early 2007...so I haven't been there for a moment. I go there...to yesasia to see if I can find some reasonable prices for Hikki's stuff.

Hey, what about CDJapan and HMV?

[bluegie]

17.99 USD?? That is not a Japanese version CD then..
I never buy cds at yesasia. I heard too many cd case getting cracked case. I prefer cdjapan all the way . cdjapn is probly expensive on shipping, but they never raise up their prices (as yesasia always do). They wrap the cd nicely so you won't hear any damage case there.

[xiaou-xijiang]

^ofcourse its OS, I said that.
I don't do CDJPN because of the higher JPN ver. Prices. YA has a history of cracked cases, but I think that's more USPS than anything else, besides how hard is it to comment for extra bubble wrap? (I love playing with it any how..)

So I guess I'll go with Yesasia. All I need to do is ask for extra bubble wrap that is to play with, right?! Oh, does CDJapan charge overseas customers with Japan's CD prices or do they charge whatever price that is usually charge on an overseas CD?

Sorry for all the questions! I'm tryin to make a final decision on which company I should buy Hikki's new album () from!

[xiaou-xijiang]

^its the JPN ver of the PRODUCT so they go with the list price and don't change the price according to where the buyer lives. YA JPN Ver. are natuarlly a bit pricer than CDJPN because YA is in Hong Kong. Its also why the OS/HK ver. are available at a lower price on Yes Asia.

Hong Kong ver. also sometimes come with diff. goodies than the JPN ver, like Ayu's GUILTY OS ver is available with a PB AND 2 posters.

[ayumisrael]

am I the only one who order casually from yesasia and get nothing cracked?

[DestinyWishes]

I got a tiny crack on the case, but I don't really care, I'm satisfied with Yes Asia, besides it's not as if it's the actual CD that's cracked and that's what you actually buy the CD for right? Cases can be replaced easily anyway.

[Luv ~Venus~]

^Exactly! I have plenty of cases I can replace it with! lol

Are you serious? EEEEEE! I'm going with Yesasia then....sorry bluegie but I wanna poster of Hikki! --That's if she has one which I hope she does. Yay!

Ayumisrael: No, you're not, hun! XD Did you get a Hikki gift when you ordered Deep River and First Love???

[xiaou-xijiang]

^sorry sweet heart but all her posters went out of stock years ago and she hasn't had one since...
By the way talking about YA made me buy Distance (and a movie for my japanese club) just a second ago. Should be in my mail box by monday.

[Luv ~Venus~]

^Noooooooooooo! I want a Hikki poster. Nooooooooo!

Did you happen to see any of Utada's Exodus singles on sale at Yesasia? I want the CD+DVD versions of the singles so bad! I don't understand why Def Jam didn't gimmick us with an DVD version that came along with Exodus. They are crappy promoters....except to my gurl, Rihanna.

[xiaou-xijiang]

^they're no CD+DVD ver. But there is a DVD I think of Easy Breezy. And there are singles from Exodus there.

EDIT: I'm actually ripping UB onto my Xbox 360. I had no idea you could do that! I wonder if you could play it as you're playing a video game.
