It'll probably be leaked by the end of today or tomorrow.

I can't miss out on my fav artist in the world

I know what you mean. I always end up buying them eventually, but I can never get them when they first come out, so I download the leaks.

[AyUta]

^ Exactly I eventually buy them but usually that's like...1 year later


BUT! The scans are just....ADORABLE!
I really like the ones with her and Kuma!
Soooo kawaii!!!

Ugh, I wish mine was shipping! Damn YesAsia.

[Luv ~Venus~]

^ I hope the CDs I'm going to order from there won't take forever to ship to me. DD: Why is YA taking so long shipping yall stuff?

[Amai Yume]

I have no idea! It's kind of annoying to be honest. All the CD Japan people have like "my stuff just shipped!" and I'm like "...mine should be anyday now..."

[Luv ~Venus~]

How many days on average does it take for them to ship? DD: I have like 8 cds that I'm ordering from there. Should I buy it all at once or do it separately?

[Amai Yume]

Well I use yesasia for pre-orders mainly so they ship the Tuesday of the week it's released.

And for the 8 CDs, are they pre-order or have already been released. I think it depends on that cause if one's gonna take a while, you might wanna have it shipped seperately.

Off-topic: by the way Luv, the link for the set isn't working for me

Yay, Rolling Stone gave HS 5/5 stars! Awesome:

Rolling Stone Japan has reviewed Utada’s latest album, “HEART STATION,” giving it 5 out of 5 stars. The reviewer describes the album as having great tracks and “artistic chorus work,” and that the album tracks are strong enough to hold their own against the A-sides. The review title reads simply: The Essence of Pop Music.

[Luv ~Venus~]

^Hell yea! HS is definitely worth buying then. I'm buying the North American version...if it's cheaper than the Korean version.

They have already been released except on of them. I'm buying 4 of Epik High's CDs, BoA's THE FACE CD+2DVD, Leah's Destiny Line CD+DVD, Misono's Never+land CD+DVD (I'm thinking about buying this one), Sowelu's Naked CD+DVD (it hasn't been released yet, but i'm waiting on the Korean or HK version < Which ever is cheaper!

So do I need to buy them separately or all together?

btw, I PMed you. lol Did it work yet?

[AyUta]

Slight Off Topic
Do any of you guys know where I can download a program that creates sets? I have Photoshop but I'm getting tired of it already, I want something different to do sets with. I really want to make a Hikki set using her new photo shoots

[Luv ~Venus~]

The program I use isn't all that great but it makes my siggys look HAWT. lol It's called Nova Photo Explosion SE. I was going to use Photoshop as well but I didn't know how to use photoshop and the tutorials weren't exactly helpful. So i decided to remove PS off my computer and use Nova instead. That's what I have been using all this time to make my sets.

I made a Kuma/Hikki set and I liked it but I need to do it over. lol I'm sorry but I'm so proud of Hikki set that I'm using now. lol I hadn't be this happy for my sets since I made my Deep River sets.

[AyUta]

^ Yes, but the set you're using now is simply beautiful <3 Nice job Luv
And thanks for the info! Do you have a direct link to download the program?

Thankies. lol You're set is beautiful as well. How did you get it to flash like that?

Site: www.novadevelopment.com/downloads

I just wanna say that it doesn't do all that wonderful stuf like PS or at least I don't think it does. Try it out and see if it can though. lol

[AyUta]

Thankies! Erm...I use a site called Mytheme! It's pretty good if you want to create sets that flash and such.

No downloading involved, you can just use it from there
It's pretty hard to find out how to use it at first but eventually you'll get the hang of it.


LOL I'll tell you know.....that program you gave me can probably create solid sets wayyy better than PS, sadly. But I'll try and work my way around it. Thanks Luv

[drewbilation]

my copy is in shipping process, yay <3

[Bazaa]

Mine still isn't, I pre-ordered from YA But it was a month ago or so, I remember reading somewhere that it would ship in the 21st. Meh, I hope I don't have problems with ordering a CD from Asia, many people from my country got their stuff apprehended at customs, and had to pay almost the double of the item's price... I hope it doesn't happen with my very first Jpop CD!

THANK YOU! hehehe I go to that site later today. I hope Nova works out for you. It's mainly good for blending as well. I use the "clone" option the most when I make my sets.

[ayuayu798]

^Man I wish I had some money right about now... I need a job lol. there are so many CDs I wanna buy,but cant becuase i'm broke lol.

[AyUta]

^I know what you mean! I wanna buy Hikki's album on Wednesday! >.<; Well...I do have 30 dollars on me right now I'll just try and ask my dad for 10 more dollars and then go and buy it I hope it works out! I wanna buy Ayu's new single too
