Tenso deliveries, though, requires a signature as it's 'registered' air mail (as the case for some Room Ayaka postcard delivery that happened yesterday but my mom wasn't able to pick it up, luckily my dad was delivering goods to my brother who is studying in Michigan, so he was able to pick my package up the very next day), but at least with CDJapan I have the option for plain air mail without signature (no tracking either; registered air mail also available).

And I heard the EMS charges increased in some way, or is it Tenso increasing the fees recently? I'm guessing the EMS charges...has anybody checked it yet?

Yep. I usually use SAL or I use Air Mail sometimes. I hate using anything that requires a signature because that is just so annoying. I always think about using tenso one day but it just seems like it would be more expensive to use it.
When I buy something from Amazon that is coming from Japan it takes the slowest. It usually takes more than 2 weeks.

Leo Ieiri - 5th Anniversary Best (Limited Edition A with live DVD)

Was reluctant to buy this until just this morning. Two left available for delivery as soon as possible, decided to add this to my next week's Rina Katahira order (Namae single, March 1st) that has changed a total of three times: first adding the Ayaka live Blu-ray that was supposed to release on March 8th, then split it up after hearing that Blu-ray release has been pushed back by a week to March 15th, and now, because for some reason JPopsuki is slow to respond with FLAC and DVD rips of this, I've ordered Leo's best album, which went #3, behind BIGBANG and SCANDAL.

There was another limited edition that has the music videos, but I feel the live DVD has high value. Hopefully someone doesn't upload it on JPopsuki (other than some MP3 rip that doesn't have a bonus track that is only available on the limited editions and not on the regular edition) before my copy comes...

I wasn't intending to pre-order this best album, I wasn't even intending to order this best album AT ALL...until realizing how JPopsuki was responding slow to Leo's best album this time. Leo's best album racked up 26k on the Oricon for reference.

Requested my Nagoya based friend to help me buy GRANRODEO's Pierrot Dancin' album (CD + DVD limited edition) via Animate Online

Different CD shops give away different bonus items for purchase of Pierrot Dancin' but Animate (be it online or the physical shops) is the only 1 giving away a bonus making DVD

Psyched to receive it & it's my 1st GRANRODEO purchase too woo

I swear my interest on them skyrocketed big time after I went back Japan last month to see them perform for the 1st time (alongside with BREAKERZ so double whammy joy)

I've been bad this month and done an extra CD order! My bank balance says I can afford it but as I'm only the second month in my first house I should really show some restraint...however my orders coming in March are:

Kumi Koda - W Face ~Inside~ (CD)
Kumi Koda - W Face ~Outside (CD + Blu-ray)
Chihiro Onitsuka - Sugar High
Ayumi - A Complete All Singles (Preowned - maybe first press?)

I preordered Kumi's albums as soon as they were up on YesAsia and I love Chihiro's Borderline and also her songs like This Silence is Mine and Inori Ga Kotoba Ni Kawarukoro so thought it was time I finally buy one of her albums. I only own The Ultimate Collection which I bought for Infection but I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

Ayumi-wise, I thought I should add A Complete to my collection even if I own all the songs. It'll be nice to have DVD 3 though with the live performances!

I ordered Leo Ieiri's 5th anniversary best with the music video DVD. Also decided to finally get my act together and grab Ai Otsuka's Love TRICKY, about time too.

Evan Odinson · #**486** 9th March 2017, 12:57 AM

Today I bought L'arc~en~Ciel's Tierra, old but gold.

KarenPang · #**487** 22nd March 2017, 06:04 AM

Ordered these albums via 5music

Koda Kumi - W FACE ~inside~ (CD + DVD)
Koda Kumi - W FACE ~outside~ (CD + DVD)
Nakashima Mika - TOUGH (CD + DVD) with poster bonus

All Taiwan press

1st time in a long time that Kuu's releases went out of stock before its release date today in Taiwan & I actually panic cos for some reason , I wanted to order all 3 albums earlier but I don't know why I didn't do so o_O

Anyway 5music were giving away poster(s) for both W FACE albums but they're not doing it anymore which I really don't mind cos I have no more wall space in my room lol

And I didn't paid extra for a poster tube so I don't mind Mika's poster being folded

Aderianu · #**488** 22nd March 2017, 07:24 AM

KarenPang · #**489** 22nd March 2017, 06:09 PM

Renewed my BREAKERZ fanclub membership

Bigtop · #**490** 25th March 2017, 03:12 AM

Ayaka just announced a new single today...

Spoiler:

...and right away I pre-ordered it. Using some of the CDJapan points that I've earned because of all those orders for this month's releases (Ayaka Blu-ray, Katarina single, and even a Leo Ieiri album!)...particularly the bonus points that can only last for three months for 'large' purchases compared to year-long points earned from each purchase. Making good use of those points...

KarenPang · #**491** 29th March 2017, 02:48 AM

Helped Earth_maiden ordered these albums via 5music on her behalf

Koda Kumi - W FACE ~outside~ (CD + DVD)
otsuka ai - LOVE TRiCKY (CD + DVD)

Both Taiwan press

Bigtop · #**492** 30th March 2017, 05:59 AM

KarenPang · #**493** 13th April 2017, 05:28 PM

Ordered via 5music

NEWS - NEVERLAND album (Taiwan press , CD only) with bonus item - postcard type B

I probably also will ask my friend to help me purchase some songs on Recochoku as they haven't been uploaded online yet :x

KarenPang · #**494** 23rd April 2017, 06:23 PM

Requested my friend to help me buy these 3 songs on Recochoku since they have not been uploaded online

Hilcrhyme - Mou Bye Bye -Indies Version-
Mao from SID - Chigau Kajitsu & Furachina Taion

I also just paid for the shipping fee for the latest fanclub magazine + trading card of BREAKERZ . Real excited to get them , great 1st photoshoot for the year & I'm sure it will not be the last

KarenPang · #**495** 5th May 2017, 01:08 PM

Bought a set of BREAKERZ COUNTDOWN LIVE 2014-2015 team brz memoca live photos from my Nagoya based friend

Honestly if not surprisingly this's the 1st time I've seen the memoca photos :O

jiarongisme · #**496** 5th May 2017, 01:17 PM

Recently ordered both of Kuu's W FACE albums and Ayu's AT16 DVD. Gonna make another order soon when the release date for the OS Press of Namie's DVD is announced.

KarenPang · #**497** 13th May 2017, 02:17 PM

^ namie amuro LIVE STYLE 2016-2017 might be the 1st Namie DVD avex Taiwan might not make :x

I already know releases that avex Taiwan will be making/releasing in May and on the 1st week of June in Taiwan so I'm surprised not to see it on the list

Chia Chia Records has already listed the Taiwan release date for Just You and I (almost a month which's so unusually long for a single release) but not for namie amuro LIVE STYLE 2016-2017 DVD so yeah

jiarongisme · #**498** 13th May 2017, 03:56 PM

Oh shoooot that's a bummer. First Kuu's DVD now this.

KarenPang · #**499** 13th May 2017, 04:29 PM

I'm very surprised because it's not typical avex Taiwan's behaviour not to make Namie's DVDs , especially since they 1st started making NAMIE AMURO TOUR “GENIUS 2000" VCD until now

As such , on the possibility for namie amuro LIVE STYLE 2016-2017 not to get made by avex Taiwan , it's puzzling as Namie didn't had any special guest during the tour so I'm not sure :x

avex Taiwan didn't made Kuu's Koda Kumi Live Tour 2009 ～TRICK～ , KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2016 -BEST SINGLE COLLECTION- , Driving Hit's 7 and now it's Namie's turn ?
