Yes. Japanese albums are too expensive. So I can't risk it by spending all the money, and then not liking it. =/

Mostly I download. My policy is, I don't download if I can buy it. Although, now a days it's more, "download now, and wait till there's money to buy." I have money only once a month, and it's a limited amount so I can't buy EVERYTHING. I'm focusing on Ayu stuff for now, just albums. I'm not crazy enough to go after all the singles.

I do with everything I usually go and buy them if I really like what I hear, or if they are my favs, such as Hikki, Ayu, or UVERworld

I always download before buying, if I decide to buy. I'm thinking of buying HEART STATION since I like it so much.

It all depends. If I know I'm going to buy the album anyways, it leaks, and then I get impatient for the release, I'll download it (i.e. any of Ayu's albums). However, sometimes I'll download an album I'm not sure that I'll like, end up liking it and then buy it. Other times though, I'll like it but just not feel like paying the money for the album since I already have the music. When I don't like the album I just delete it from my computer.

I don't download full albums. I did a few times in the past, and it just ruined the surprise of getting the actual copy. That's why I haven't heard BoA's THE FACE nor Hikaru Utada's HEART STATION albums yet.

I usually buy the singles/albums but i don't need to open it since i can DL all the content. But for ayu + kuu i just buy it since they're awesome but for other artists like utada and others i need to listen first lol.

For some artists I do not download, I wait for my copy to come because I know it's worth it. The others I download and possibly buy later, no money to buy all of the albums =\

Ahm, if it is for Ayumi Hamasaki etc...: Yup, cause I never buy an album of her (there is no shop here in the Netherlands .. well in my city, where I can buy them, and I may not buy an album from internet)
... But I had some songs of Fergie, when I buyed the album The Dutchess...

So, conclusion: It could be... it could be... it depends what artist..
