I placed my order when the announcement was made and my order says delivery is expected 1-2 weeks from the release date of the album. I don't know if the delivery time is the same, or even worse, for orders being placed recently.

I really appreciate the advice haraiso. I will go ahead and do that.

While I was disappointed booking my current trip before the announcement of the 25th anniversary concert, I am very glad to be in Japan during this release of Finally. Its amazing walking the streets of Tokyo with this marketing campaign and I can't wait to check out the Shibuya popup store.

^ No problem!

Sooo jealous you'll be in Japan for the release! I keep seeing pictures of all the billboards and signs for Finally pretty much everywhere in Japan from pictures on Twitter and I can only imagine how amazing it will be to actually see it all in person!

I wanted her to take over Japan like the Alive MV for this release and she's done it.

Also, the next episode of the Hulu documentary comes out tomorrow I think! It'll be an hour-long interview with Namie herself. Really hope we'll get a translation somehow!

can you tell me how to download it?

[thinkingoutloud89]

so NEW LOOK and Say the word definitely got a sound-make-over. It's more prominent on the latter. But I still think this was unnecessary. Of the three songs I heard so far, none was better than its original.

Finally has leaked, without the unreleased songs though.

File password: if I understood well, it's 王大叔王小叔92好碟难求
He said, first his name on baidu, 6 characters (王大叔王小叔), then Namie's debut year, 2 characters, and then his name on Taobao, 4 characters (好碟难求).

EDIT: nevermind, probably fake, it seems that this guy posted the link a month ago... People in the comments are calling him out about this... My bad...

[Chiharo]

Thanks, but it doesn't let me download the file. Could someone upload this somewhere else?

[thinkingoutloud89]

urgh I know its a first world problem, but I hate it when stuff is around but at the same time it isn't :/

nice that we can notice some changes even in "recent" tracks like NEW LOOK!

Any predictions for album sales?

ughhh got tired of searching for this.

omg just turned into A initiate, my favorite single!!

[Diego-kun]

I love how the new finally ver. songs sound slightly different without losing their original essence

[Earth_maiden]

It's getting harder to download music now, sometimes I find it easier to just purchase albums and rip them myself. I'm happy to purchase FINALLY though, it's possibly the last release of Namie's I'll actually be ABLE to buy.

[Chiharo]

I'm liking how the new versions sound. I hope mastering will be good as well. I also had to get this album because it's probably her last. I don't usually buy compilations but this one will be worth it I hope.

Does anyone else think Namie's voice sounds a bit whiny in some of the newly recorded songs?

[thinkingoutloud89]

^yeah, it sounds a bit ...bored? In StW she is not able to get the high note anymore
