I'm in love with that PV so far...

Soccer Mom Ringo! Someone cast her as another clone in Orphan Black, please.

Is it me or does the audio here sound way better than the iTunes version?

I think youtube videos max out at 192 kbps audio quality. The iTunes file is 256kbps. But I never really associated iTunes with quality audio anyway

What is it with Japan and only having previews of the PV? So annoying. Do they expect people to purchase the full video, or see the whole thing on TV?

I'm trying out a Mailbox Forwarding service for this upcoming release (I even joined Ringohan using the mailing address they gave me). I want to get all the upcoming magazines with her on the cover as well as the album. Hopefully the combined shipping+fees won't be too outrageous.

As for overseas, their postage isn't too bad either when you consider the initial discount you get. I bundled all the recent Oomori magazines (4 in total) in with the preorder of her new album and postage only went up by 400 yen total (1800 for entire shipment- and its by DHL express). I don't see why anyone shopping for Japanese stuff overseas would choose anywhere else unless there's some bonus stuff that Amazon aren't offering. Im not sure how interesting new Ringo magazine features will be- is there some major article about her coming up? Hopefully it will give some insight into why she doesn't seem to give a fuck about 'artistic' integrity at the current time. I think you've answered your own question. That and Japan are still pretty much the highest music selling country out there (or something like that). Marketing music there is actually worthwhile.

Yea, I normally do either Amazon or CDJapan for the international shipping. But this time I've got orders from not just Amazon, but direct from SWITCH magazine.
I think the SWITCH one has a pretty big feature on her. At least 50 pages, IIRC, and a 101 question Q&A. I ordered directly from them because they supposedly offer bonus posters with their issues when you order directly from them. It was unclear in this case if it was an external one exclusive to them, or one built into the magazine, but I decided to give them a shot. The forwarding service ships only EMS, at a 5% discount. The handling fee is 150 yen, and 300 yen for each additional package when combining. |

Hmm fair enough, sounds like its worth grabbing. I might get one myself too.
Is anyone else a little unnevered by the whole "farewell" tone, lyrics (I mean, she fucking basically screams that "GOODBYE") and imagery of this PV... I'm getting Konya wa Kagari vibes all over again. Please don't leave us on this track Ringo. (I was hoping she'd at least make 2 different 'trilogies' - one with the mole (MM, SS, KZK) and one without (SG, HIT, ....)
