MY STORY Overseas Version released at YesAsia.

Didn't see this posted anywhere yet, so forgive me if it has.

I've been checking YesAsia everyday for the OS release of MY STORY, since I'm terrible with money and try to save it anyway possible. ^^; And guess what! I saw it up not even a minute ago!

http://us.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.asp...id-444/did-97/

The price is even much better...almost half of the pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~. Version. Which is great since I can order this tonight and get some Nanase singles on clearance that I wanted.

The OS version also has the random 4 covers, which for some reason I wasn't sure if it would or not. Huttah!

Again, sorry if this has already been posted. I just know that there were some others here waiting for the OS release as well.

I asked someone to get it for me from HK, so I'm going to get it for half the price listed on yesasia. =) Although it means another 2 weeks wait, but I don't mind.

Region 3? Is it the HK version? Why don't they make it all-region, so that when I feel like messing with it on my pc, I can skip the part of using a region free software.. /grumpy mood

..uh just finish reading the product decription (as an pic) It does contain offcial Chinese lyrics translation. So this package will also be in Chinese? hmm I want the translation, but I also want non-Chinese packaging.. hard decision here.

I probably should have waited for this, but I have a thing about buying the Japan version of my CD's. And as for the region of the DVD... I live in the US, so I bought a region free DVD player just so that I could buy import DVDs. O.O

yup we all do that. And there is something about buying the "original" version. Worth the money when you look back down the years.

The translation into Chinese will probably come as an insert. Meaning, the packaging will be in the original Japanese like the Japan version. At least, I think that's how it works.

When I bought A MUSEUM, I got the overseas version, and that's how it was done. (Japanese packaging with a Chinese lyric insert.) I assume that CD's are done the same way.

Once, I e-mailed yesasia.com asking what the difference was between overseas and Japan version CD's. And they described it as 'The Cd is manufactored by a local company instead of the Japan comapny(in this case, is would be Avex. I'm not sure who releases the overseas of Avex titles). The packaging may be a little less flashy(I doubt this, in most cases. especiallly with Ayu CD's). And the CD may contain a slip of paper with the lyrics translated into the local language(in this case, Chinese).

Hope this helps...

It's the HK OS version, it won't have Chinese on the packaging, maybe some on the OBI, but it'll be minimal.

The difference being the product description of the TW one would've had 'MY STORY' translated as 'MY STORY 私物語'. This one doesn't have the Chinese, so it'll be safe to assume it's the HK version. I've never seen Chinese being actually printed onto the package of Ayu's HK OS releases. It's just on the sticker, OBI and extra inserts.

The booklet and all's the same, the lyrics always come as an insert.

Thanks for the offer, but it's okay. It'll defeat the purpose of getting it cheap if I have to pay extra for shipping.
