I was honestly hoping she would re-record the whole A Song for XX album during her 10th after Mirrorcle World was released with YOU and Depend on you. Those new version were great in my opinion.

Hmm ok didn’t see her album on today’s chart

Actually I was in Tower records in Ikebukuro today and they still didn’t have A BALLADS 2 there so I’m guessing that it will probably be in stores from tomorrow and will try to go to Shibuya after work if I can. Except for in store stand I’m not sure if there will be anything else though.

^ only in countrys where it is the 8th already (because it isn't in germany yet)
how are the rearrangements?

[AyuCanada]

First press is sold out on CD japan for 2CD+Bluray, are the TA shop versions still first press? I want to wait till my next paycheck and be a responsible person :p.

[Toniayu123]

^they’re sold out already. I honestly thought they’d end up like the trouble’s limited ones that are still available after 3 years, but nope. Either they’re really limited or the sales are amazing, we’ll discover soon.

If you’re asking what they are, the inlay is the picture inside the jewel case that shows through to the outside so you can see what the album is. Usually the inlay is the booklet. The booklet jacket is the front page of the booklet in this case it is the same as the inlay, they are randomizing it between two photos. If you watch the cd Japan unboxing they had a really nice inlay and booklet photo. It is different from the photo of the cardboard digipack and slipcover.
