ZARD Premium Box 1991-2008[44 CD+DVD] 2008/05/28

[Fair Wind]

Just to tell you guys that is apparently the last ZARD release, which means no more milking.

I'm buying it.

[Bashumaru]

I don't know but it seems weird that the DVD is only 8 minutes long o_o.

you're buying it!?
serious?
thats quite some money you have in there =P
i'd only stick to one or sometimes two artists
like...atm its MAINLY Ayu
but every now and then i get hikki cd's as she gets new releases once in 50 years so i can catch up to get her whole discography quite quickly even if she's still making songs
but ayu...dats a different story haahs

Haha, yes it's crazy for me, but Izumi Sakai's music made a big impact on me. I always wanted to collect her singles, so this would be a good way. I might have to push it behind until later this year however since there are still a few more things I need to get.

I'm just hoping it won't go out of print.

A premium box of ZARD already released in 2002 for fanclub only and many artists did a premium box before (Matsuda Seiko everyone?)

Only fans who dont have the singles will buy it of course, it contains all her singles (some are old and unfindable) + inedit (already released in the previous box for fanclub only) and dvd, and it's not expensive, if you buy all her singles separately it will cost WAY MORE =P

I'm interesed in how many copies this will sell

[che0173]

i would buy it, but err. i've just spent like...$500USD on ayu's stuff over the past week
so i can't nemore
if i save up, then i might be able to get it towards the end of the year, but it's gonna kill me literally, but then again save me a few months/years on finding her singles on cheaper places, aka ebay, yahoo jp etc

Yea, they're cashing in more than they are on Elvis.

omg thats what me and my friend discussed once!
how the record label are still making her cd's after her death!
but they cant do that can they?
i mean like, her family members can sue them for continueing the making of her cd's even though she's passed away...
but then again its alright coz then many ppl would remember her more... =D

Usually there is no source for boxes sales because they are big, and people would buy them time by time and not immediately like a single or an album..

Anyway I'm sure it's not the last release, I mean it's her last singles release but if there are other inedit songs (like the previous singles Glorious Mind and Tsubasa wo Hirogete which are both INEDITS) they will put all in an album and surely they will do a tribute album but it will happen after many years.

I saw this on CD Japan last week and I was like OMG, I wanna buy this. But, the one issue is of course the money, and for me this would cost about AUD$450-460. including shipping. Next year, if it's still in print, then I'll highly consider buying it. =D

I think it will be still in print...they dont sell it on cd shops, you need to order via shop though.

I made my favorite cd shop call the Being to ask if it is a limited edition and they said its not...luckily =)
