[ALBUM] AKB48 - 1st ALBUM [Koko ni Ita koto] - 2011/6/8

^
^ I was actually hoping for that. Bigger is better

I assume it'll be similar to the size of Shoujo Jidai's LE box which was released today.

 

For some weird reason, because of how long the promo picture is on the limited edition's cover, I thought it might be really oversized like Arashi's [Boku no Miteiru Fuukei].

@Ningyo
I was like "why is it so high-pitched?"
Then I noticed that I had turned the pitch of the whole computer up four octaves.
I turned it down.
It is still high pitched.
I love it anyway it is beautiful and now I can't get it out of my head

And yes, AKMermaids do want

 

That was not the sound I was expecting for Ningyo no Vacance at all. (I was expecting gokiken naname na mermaid style song lol) BUT I LOVE IT oh god it sounds like bassa nova and i love that so much *o*

 

Anyone here ordered goods from HMV recently?

it might seems stupid to ask this question but I really not sure about the new shipping options which are

1 Ship my order when it is complete
2 Split my order into two Shipments
3 Ship items to me as soon as they are available

Anyone please explain what's the difference, with example would be great [nod]

I order few AKB goods and I select Ship my order when it is complete, is that means they will wait until all items ready and ship to me in 1 shipment? If so, I tried to select the third shipment option but it seems the third option is disable

I want the ready item shipped out to me first due to together of the orders in one shipment will cost me lot of tax fee [worried] , I also contact HMV staff to help me of this.

 

This is if you are ordering 2 or more things that release on different days.

1 Ship my order when it is complete
When both items have been released it will ship. So if you get something that releases June 8th and something that releases June 22nd, it will ship after the 22nd as one package.

2 Split my order into two Shipments
Both items will ship when they are released, and will ship separately.

3 Ship items to me as soon as they are available
Maybe this is the same as 1?

I don't use HMV, but CDJ has these kinds of options too.

 

I think 3 means that every item will be shipped the day it is released, so two different orders (one on June 8th and the other on June 22th) will be shipped (same as 2?)...

EDIT: Cdjapan has got only options 1 and 3; I guess that the 2nd option might mean that even though two items are released the same day they will be shipped separately...

 

2 and 3 will be different if you ordered things with at least 3 different releasing date.

with 2nd option, you will choose which 2 or more will be sent on one of those releasing date first, and the leftover will be sent in the releasing date of final one.

So you will receive your order in two separate times. And your shipment cost will be 2x.

with 3rd option, they will send your order as soon as it's released. Then the shipment cost will be as much as the number of different releasing date.

Ex. If you order 1. DiVA's single 2. Ebikatsu 3. album

1st option, they will send all of your order at June 8th with the shipment cost 1100 yen (2-3 pieces rate)
2nd option, you may choose to have DiVA's single and Ebikatsu in May 25th and The album at June 8th with the shipment cost is 1100+900(1 piece rate) yen
3rd option, they will send DiVA's single at May 18th, Ebikatsu at May 25th and The album at June 8th. The shipment cost will be 900 x3 = 2700 yen

 

Thank you very much for your kind explanation, Kaya & Karles48 & reddertar ^^, that makes me understand a lot more

 

a bit late but Yuki, Yuko and Takamina did a radio show talking about the album.
They're previewed the whole album.

It's on live right now.

here's an easy source to listen to...

the person just recorded his monitor but the quality is pretty good.

 

I only caught the Iikagen no Susume, Team B oshi and Koko ni Ita koto previews. I love Koko ni Ita Koto, it's absolutely beautiful, and the instrumental is gorgeous with all those stacatto violins and clarinets.

Iikagen no Susume reminds me a bit of Not yet's Warau ga Ii

 

oh, is it still on? I heard Yuko's voice. Are they still playing the songs?

 

nope, it's over now

 

here's part 1,

the user has the whole show uploaded...

 

DOWNLOADING THE AUDIO NOWWW!

I will upload them later as mp3s. I'm going out in a few minutes though.
So someone else might have uploaded it before me.

 

From what I can hear from the preview:
Kaze no Yukue and Ningyo no Vacances are this sort of not-so-ballad-but-not-so-upbeat type of songs, which Kaze no yukue reminds me of Ai no kazu or Hazumisaki of SKE48. NOT very fond of these two, BUT
IIKAGEN no SUSUME sort of sounds AMAZING! I think this song has a very 'exotic' vibe and melody, LOVE IT !!! The other songs haven't been put on preview i guess
OH!! Shoujotachi yo FTW !!!! [rock] [rock] [rock]

 

From Yuuko's blog:

She got an advanced copy of the album. As I thought, the box is really big and over-sized!!!!



Also, it seems she got a photo of Kojiharu. Did I miss the announcement that there would be random photos inside the limited edition album...? I thought there would only be bonus photos from each shop like normal?

^Yes, there is a pic that comes with the album. Different from the Shop’s bonus pic.
