[Namie Amuro] ☆彡Shut up & defend her bad habit in the 51st thread!☆彡

[emi♡]

thats true...although leaks usually can happen anywhere...it's been crappy getting japanese releases lately...always just getting out the few days before or on the release date.

Second upload is the same re-encode. I wish people would actually state what they're uploading.

Instead of just, "here you go, a 320kbps rip, you're welcome"...not that im not grateful for the album leak...I would like to know what I'm downloading though...

to me, re-encodes to 320 kbps are just wasted space.

[freedreamer]

^yea me too. I hope the REAL 320kbps rip can come out.
I think it's gonna sound fantastic

[Celaphorce]

I like every song, but there are some I love, the ones that I love are in my top 6, and the ones I just like are 7-12.

1. Shut Up
2. Defend Love
3. Fast Car
4. Bad Habit
5. Dr.
6. Steal My Night
7. First Timer
8. Wild
9. Dr.
10. The Meaning Of Us
11. Copy That
12. My Love

I shall remind myself to DL P > F again when there's an actual CDrip

[Meat Pao]

I knew it wasn't 320kbps cuz I could hear "LQ-ness" when listening to FAST CAR LOL. I'll just wait for my copy and rip it myself then..

[AyUta]

Oh wow, I didn't notice it wasn't 320 o.o I got too excited I guess.

[GRACE]

People will start getting their copies soon lol, so we won't have to worry :3

[zyoeru]

I wondered why some of the songs sounded a little off after I'd converted to AAC...

[KarenPang]

brener found this pic of the CD only of PAST < FUTURE on Yahoo Japan Auctions



I don't know if it's the lighting or something but wow I say D:

[dreamland2.0]

Ah looks like the digipack is awesome!! (as I expected... )

[RikkuChii]

Wonder if the HK version's gonna be digipak..

[mcluva420]

is it common for digipaks not to have obis?

I'm not sure , it's hard to say D: but it's generally assumed that if you preorder the album early , you might get the album in a digipak ?

I remembered when the Singapore press of BEST FICTION was released/made last year , there wasn't an OBI that came with it

I have a feeling it's different for Taiwan presses since they love to 'OBI-lise' everything

[pommy48]

^ that is true~ i have an obi with BEST FICTION TW press

[aloopy]

digipacks always look awesome <3 I hope I get my copies fast

Namie should release all her future cd's in digipack!

[Kaiouforever]

Why is everyone complaining? Just wait for your copy to arrive in the mail if you're that unhappy with the quality.

Anyway, I'm excited to see how she does for her first week. She blew up the charts with the BEST FICTION TOUR dvd..hope she can do the same with this release!

Completely agree and I'm also excited to see how it will sell

[aloopy]

I think 450-550k

because this album sounds very different compared to her previous stuff and idk how the Japanese listeners will react to that lol.
and no TV performances..! they always help, but whatever.

but we'll see. hoping for the best ofcourse

[KarenPang]

I really want PAST < FUTURE to sell more than PLAY . She deserves it imo

it's only a matter of whether does the Japanese public response positively/negatively to the album

then again sales are only secondary at the end of the day to me

[UHPlus]

^i'm rather greedy hoping that it'll sell 500,000+ on the first week
