^HMV....You can order from them, i don't think they will have many j-pop cds in stock, since not many people will buy.

i go to tsutaya everyday haha

HMV dosen't really order Jmusic, I guess T_________T
They're usually imports (Like if you check on their site ^^) but they don't ask for a deposit, which is bad, since like Lacus said they'd actually look for it if there is a deposit.
I'm still waiting for my call.

Apparently I could go to Hot Topic (If we have one) and find Dir en Grey inside

Found it at the HMVs in Vancouver less than a month ago. The Robson HMV had tons and I found it without looking. And I've seen it at the Oakridge & Coquitlam Centre locations too, if you live in the area.

We need some Hot Topics over here. I've been to 3 around the Detroit area and none had Withering to death (or the newer Deg shirt, which was lovely ~_~).

Hazuki · #47 14th August 2006, 06:45 PM

I want some DeG stuff

Why don't we have Hot Topic anyways? o__O

I'll go check if they have their shirts at some random store.. Maybe they do since they have all that Green Day and things like that.

Yeah it's been known for quite a while that ULTRA BLUE and Utada Hikaru Single Collection Vol.1 was released in Canada only.
I think it's already a month since it's been released.
The packaging definitely isn't as good as the normal Overseas version, or the Japan Version.
But it's better than nothing XD

LacusClyne · #49 15th August 2006, 07:56 AM

just curious, which is cheaper? the oversea version or the cds that are release there?

kyuusei · #50 16th August 2006, 03:05 AM

The one that was released here, of course.

I don't know what the overseas packaging is like, but if I can buy it for $19 Canadian instead of going online and spending $30-35 Canadian after shipping... I don't care.

LacusClyne · #51 16th August 2006, 03:16 AM

^oversea version is made from hongkong, the quality is close to japan version. and the price is around US$18, without shipping cost.

the oversea version had an extra translation sheet in chinese.

Norrel · #52 16th August 2006, 03:18 AM

The Taiwan Version has a slipcase

kyuusei · #53 16th August 2006, 03:21 AM

Oh. ...I don't need Chinese lyrics, even if I can sort of read Mandarin better than Japanese. =P

US$18 = Canadian $22 or so. And then shipping.

..and I always lose my slip cases. >.>

hopeorpain · #54 16th August 2006, 03:29 AM

ah you're so lucky to have HMV there, theres none here in the US. Just Tofu I guess =D

paper_doll · #55 16th August 2006, 04:17 AM

You have Virgin in the States. I've picked up Jpop there before (I was pretty suprised, too).

I love Tsutaya. In my opinion, it's better than HMV because they actually carry used CDs as well. I wish they had those in America. I've only gone there when I was in Japan.

Are you serious? I've been to the Virgin Records Megastores in both Times Square and Boston and neither one had a single J-Pop CD (with the exception of Tofu Records).

paper_doll · #57 17th August 2006, 04:02 PM

I've bought Ayu' Seasons, Dearest, I am..., and ayu-mi-x II version JPN (or whatever it's called) all Japan versions there. I asked for some other aritsts and they said they were just out of stock when I was there.

s1012h · #58 17th August 2006, 11:35 PM

the canadian version is bad compared to the overseas and japan version
the lyric booklet for the canada version DOES NOT HAVE GLOSSY PAPER
Japan and Overseas have the same HIGHQUALITY GLOSSY PAPER
and JP and OS version, the cd case is slightly bigger (thicker) than normal cds, because of the thickness of the booklet, which is around 32 pages
the Canadian version is the same thiness as normal cds, and has no glossy paper
and it doesn't have an "obi" (sleeve-like thing that surrounds the left side of the cd case) JP and OS has it

realize_! · #59 17th August 2006, 11:43 PM

^ That's the least of my worries. As long if it plays my music I'm happy. SO what if it doesn't have the obi or it's not glossy paper it's not going to ruin the music which is what matters...

That's just how I feel. I just want the music (legally) and to be able to support Hikki. =P
