It depends on what you're getting and from where. I was gonna buy a Kana Nishino single from CD Japan, but it was like twice the price after the exchange rate, shipping, etc.

I love Sifow too, I have her Rule single, I thought it was awesome! Is she ever going going to return to music? ): What's she doing now? D:

@happyholic: Yeah that makes sense, it's a shame they're so expensive. ): I just buy the OS presses now. The Korean, Taiwan and HK albums aren't badly priced, but still add up, although the HK versions are well priced. But the Japanese press's now are so expensive. I remember I had to pay £30 for Koda Kumi's Kingdom album back in 2008 (CD + 2 DVD), it's not on Yesasia anymore but I saw it had gone up to £40 recently! And the CD + DVD one is £32! GEYSUS. Whereas the CD + 2DVD HK version is only £13!

I have all the sifow disography and her book! Right now She´s woriking in her ECO project called Nogyaru!

Talking about mini she is doing a lot of promotion being a "new" artist with the first album! She has done a lot of mini lives in clubs! ^___^ but I don´t know why, japanese people don´t like "stronger" and original women! -__-

I think the Japanese at the moment seem to be spending all their money on idols like AKB48, and other idol girls with cute pop songs. But saying that, KPOP artists with a similar electro sound are going over there and doing well, so. :/ I think Japan are loving the girl and boy idol groups at the moment.

I hope mini will keep singing and bringing cool music!

mini and sifow need to collaborate on a song. They are both more or less gyaru and both have used the electric sounding beats, I'm sure that they could work something out.

^ Idk...I don't think their voices would mix well. As much as I love Sifow, I've always thought her voice is very strained sounding. mini's voice is much more developed imo. I just feel like they would sound strange together.

sifow can sound nice when she doesn't try too hard to do things that she can't with her voice. mini I don't think is a great singer, though better than sifow. But, I couldn't see her out-singing sifow. Two of Us vocals are pretty basic, imo. Not to mention auto-tuned, I'm sure.

mini has a lovely tone, not a powerful voice that's for sure, but I just adore her tone. ♥

CHE.R.RY · #**409** 23rd May 2012, 06:03 PM

^ Yeah for sure...her voice isn't amazing, but I just detect more projection & developed vibrato in her voice....that's basically what I meant

. Either way, Sifow's voice is still cute & pleasant to listen to nonetheless.

mm I love the sifow´s voice. I think she has a so cute voice but she has to work more on it! but also I love mini voice! I think they can make an awesome work together! ^__^

Somebody has uploaded the tower promotional cd of mini in Jpopsuki! It would be awesome if someone upload it here for everybody! That cd has a new mix of hako puninsosu and also a new "instrumental" song called Crazy Stripper!

Solarblade · #**411** 26th May 2012, 05:27 AM

^ Actually it's not a new version of Hako Punin Sosu...

It's a megamix of the songs on the album in the same order they appear...so it's like more of a preview digest.

GREVOL · #**412** 26th May 2012, 12:45 PM

Crazy Stripper is so *******ing awesome! love it so much! Hope to listen it so soon!!

Gustavopc · #**413** 26th May 2012, 11:02 PM

That megamix of the album tracks is pretty weak, but Crazy Stripper OH MY GOD! That's INCREDIBLE! I hope she releases a full [?] versions of it and Fuko Zatsu Joshi on her next single.
