[Namie Amuro] Ballad Best Album "Ballada" now on sale! Sold >100,000 on first day! (83rd thread)

[Delicious n Bold]

^ so at book off in Japan, people would sell literally brand new CDs and you can buy those CDs?
That's like... I can't believe it.
They really sell EVERYTHING there. (Praying for like-new copies of sweet 19 blues!! :O )

Also, pimenta, I was wondering if you knew of any deals that stores like Tower Records has. Deals like buy two for, I don't know, 3000 yen? I was wondering if Namie's CDs ever went on sales like that. Id love to buy her CDs 100% brand new whilst on sale.


Oh and thank you to everyone who answered my question

[pimenta]

^ You can find CDs of all states of conservation at Book Off, some are pretty much like new (those usually are like half or a third of the original price, but might be even a bit cheaper), and some are in ok state (much much cheaper). There are some older CDs that are in an ok state that they sell for something like ¥250 (and that includes some pretty rare stuff as well!), that's why I love Book Off
I suggest looking at the Book Off stores in Ikebukuro, Shinjuku and maybe Akihabara, those are really big, so it's easier to have whatever you might be looking for. But there are Book Offs everywhere in Tokyo.

Hm... tbh I only went to Tower Records once and didn't see any of those deals (at least not for the stuff I bought), so I don't know if they have those kind of deals. But at Tower Records for sure you can find Ballada with the digipack packaging (and maybe even some others), there I was able to find some pretty old limited CDs that I thought were completely sold out, I was quite impressed.

Does anyone know how much approximately a ticket to Namie's Osaka-Jo Hall show would cost (a really REALLY GOOD seat) ?

^^Last time I went to book off I found the cd version of Easy Breezy by Utada. I need to go back.

it's gonna be super pricey. Could go up to 50,000yen if not more for one ticket (especially if you're looking for a super good seat, if those even go on resale). I remember FC tickets for FEEL tour were sold for about 20,000yen (sometimes even more) per tickets without even knowing the seats... You might find cheaper but I doubt so, Namie's tickets usually sell like hotcakes.

It is my no 1 fav place in osaka haha next is daiso.
I bought my 2nd hand kinki kids singles collection 1 there for 700 yen or sth. Then there's other albums/singles - prices differ depending on condition and popularity of item. I went to 5 diff book off, each sells diff item e.g. some store have limited edition of namie's album arashi blah blah, while others dont...
Anime, music, figurines, cosplay costumes etc

Ballada was #13 on its 3rd Week's 2nd Day, not #11
And where did you get those 4,954 from? Oricon doesnot release numbers outside top 3 anymore.

[Rocky Raven]

^ haha it was my wrong paste from the 1st day, there's no number ) Anyway the total is still the right number since I didnt sum-up that 2nd day

And thanks for fixing me with the #13, which means that she jumped even higher than I thought lol

[brener]

Ballada will likely be #2 this week ^^

That SPRiNG cover, omg, the glasses!!
...I have a thing for glasses, ok, don't judge me.

[Delicious n Bold]

Kinda glad I didn't buy it on CDJapan now. I want my purchase to count.

[ILoveGeniuses]

^I thought purchases on CDJAPAN do count on Oricon?

I ADORE that Spring cover. She looks fabulous.

Also, I could never compare Namie, Ayu, Kuu, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry or BoA. They're MY TOP FAVORITE artists. They're my personal Queens. The world can have their fads, phases, opinions and so forth. As long as they're all making great music to my own ears, no matter the sales, I'm just genuinely overjoyed.

Btw, they announced LS2014 awhile ago. Have they not announced anything more new about the tour?

[Delicious n Bold]

They don't count anymore unfortunately...
