The first press DVD version has the poster! I've pre-ordered it when the first press thingie was mentioned on the webpage at cd japan, and I did received the DVD + the poster...no worries!

If they screw you over, you'll get one of mine because I should be receiving 2 identical posters! (first press + special offer). However I'm not 100% sure I'll be receiving two, so don't count on it. But I think you should get a poster yourself actually!

I got my poster in the mail. Pretty deceitful cdjapan. they have this picture on the site making it look like it was gonna be the poster, but when i received it in the mail, it was the same as the one you get if you buy wild life. Meh... I didn't even notice til now that on the page it says it's the same poster as the wild life one, but why would they get my hopes up by using a false image for the poster? :/

CDJapan:

The present will be included with the orders and we won't be making any announcement.

When I bought one of the applicable items on the page, my order said there was only one piece in my order, the tracking also said my order was only one item. but when i got it in the mail, it had the poster included. They're being discrete about it, which probably also includes calling and asking them about receiving it. They're not telling anyone if they got the poster or not til it actually arrives in the mail.

just watching ***** as Folk 5x01.. it's awesome to hear Utada in the background haha

[Polyrhythm]

Has she ever performed Hikari live? Other than in her concerts I mean.

[Zahara]

^i don't think so. I don't think she did much promoting of the single, but then again KH is enough lol.

[hayasaki]

^that's how lazy she is, but still proves to hold the crown.

[JackieRos]

^lazy -.- grrrrrrr

Hopefully she gets an urge to release something, I don't care what it is.
A song about feet, go freaking ahead.

Is this for real? I already miss her, can't get enough of those 4 songs...

[bluegie]

It's not uncommon to see hikki NOT performing lives at all. It was toshiba's tactics when she went into the music scene in the first place. And it matches her style anywayz.

Not that I really want a poster... but it's always good to have some bonuses.. lol . The only time cdjapan screwed me over was the DEEP RIVER release. It was my first online cd purchase, and back then I didn't have a credit card, so I had to go to the central post office to get money order. After I sent the money order, I emailed them about the first press poster (whether they folded it or not), and they said I didn't specify to have a poster in my order (da da shipping fee would increase blah blah blah). I was really mad because DR first press poster was somehow unique (I remember.. five or six different versions, taken by a famous Japanese photographer). I wish they will give me one of those instead as a bonus this time .

^They screwed me over too. I bought namie's past future album (first press, because it's a digipack) and it didn't come with a poster even though first press versions of her album is supposed to.

Don't quote me on this, but I heard it was because she had surgery to get something removed? I heard that a while back. I feel I am most definitely wrong on that though lol.

no you're right. she had ovarian cancer iirc.

[Polyrhythm]

No, it was an ovarian tumor that wasn't cancerous at all. Of course it could have become a cancer if she left it...I suppose the surgery is what caused her weight gain during that era.

^that was i guess post-Deep River to Exodus era ayt? I really dunno why but I love her when she has more meat. XD

I absolutely loved the Heart Station look, and people were spewing around words like "fat lesbian" all the time back then, so I guess she was a bit bigger too then? I didn't really notice. But if so, I like it too!
