CD only $30 - this was what you could pre-order first. A free poster was included.

The CD only was later changed to:
CD+poster $40 - you had to pay $40 to get the album, and the poster. The option for album only was removed.

Now, when they announced that the album is going to be full lenght, the price of the CD only is $44. Do you see where this is leading? They will loose $14 on those who pre-ordered early, but only $4 from those who pre-ordered later.

Ooo, got cha. Thanks for explaining!

I don't know if this is old news but anyway..

Yesasia.com

With reference to your recent order (******) placed on 10/19/06, we would like to inform you that as confirmed by our Japanese suppliers, the publishers of "Secret (Album+DVD+ Poster / Jacket A)(Japan Version)" (YesAsia Catalog No. 1004540084) has decided to change the release of this particular item from a mini album to a full album and thus, our Japanese suppliers have increased the price of the above-mentioned item and thus, we are forced to adjust the price of the captioned item upwards accordingly. You are kindly informed that the revised price has been changed from US$39.75 to US$44.99. However, as an early-bird offer, you will be changed for the original price at US$39.75 and the change of price will have no impact on your order.

So it's been confirmed

now i'm confused w/e I still like my idea lol

Here is a full translation of that news caption.

We've started reserving copies of Hamasaki Ayumi's much talked about 8th full album, "Secret"!
There are 2 formats to choose from: CD and CD + DVD!
In addition to the solid tunes that have each appeared as commercial tie-ins and on TV shows,
There will be lots of brand-new songs, for a 14-track CD, fully-loaded with the year's biggest hit numbers!
The DVD will also include 7 music videos and 7 making-of videos, for a total of 14 videos!

It doesn't mean that past, non-single songs will be released. But it means song that have never even been published before.

I want a promo photo or cover soon so we have an idea of what the theme of Secret will be.

[truehappiness]

Well, so far we have a golden / black theme judging from the usually-correct for-sale banner..
