Do you care about the album press?

[Picaflor 7/4]

oh wait, this is based on overseas or japan press? i thought it was based on first press or standard press.

sometimes.... although japan press is more expensive, i always get it if it comes with the extras over seas doesn't come with. and japan press kind of seems "truer" to me than getting overseas press. for example. only utada's japan press cds come with that super high quality glossy paper the booklets are made out of lol. overseas is standard paper. the few times a year i do buy something from japan, i want it to be top notch, to get the real bang for my buck.

i do think though that it's ludicrous that some people living in singapore, and china, and korea and whatnot only want japan press, which they have to order online when they can just walk to their nearest cd store and buy the press their store caries. Whereas living in america, my only option is to buy online, I don't get the luxury of walking to the jpop music store (I do have kinokuniya's but it's 2 hours away and ****ing expensive). but like i said, the few times i do buy anything online i just say "eh..what the hell, why not?" and buy japan press.

on what I highlight in bold

yeah you share the same thoughts as me . I cannot understand why people must die die get everything Japan press , it's ridiculous & if not overpriced >_>

for me , I only get Japan press if the artiste I support do not have any OS press of their material & it just so happened that BREAKERZ doesn't have any to begin with xD

if not , I wait for a while for the OS press to pop up . It doesn't hurt & will not die in waiting for something reasonably priced to get
