[Title][HMV Original Novelty: HMV x AKB48 Notebook Vol.2] Koko ni ita koto (+DVD) [First Press Limited Special BOX]

June 8, that's a long time...

Under the local circumstance right now in Japan, however, one cannot complain.

P.S. Limited version is sold out

[Erin.]

^ Seriously? It's entirely sold out? Good for them; bad for me! I never got around to ordering.
Or is that only the HMV version?

[greah]

^ you can order it from CDJ - it's still available

[Erin.]

^ Thanks! It still lists it as "release postponed," though, and they aren't taking anymore orders of it at this moment.

[Alienpyon]

As a matter of fact, I was referring to the HMV-exclusive limited version, which is indeed deleted and cannot be ordered through other stores

It is possible, however, that CdJapan may have their own "exclusive" limited release. I have not looked into it, though

[Erin.]

Well, if the HMV version includes the CD, choreography DVD, 100-page photobook, and "a photo randomly selected from 14 kinds," then it's the same as what CDJapan is selling.
Hopefully I come into some money in the near future so I can buy this thing! *fingers crossed*

HMV ver. also incl. HMV x AKB48 Notebook Vol.2* and (probably) typical HMVxAKB pamphlet


*but tbh I don't know what it is

[Erin.]

^ Ah, no wonder it's sold out then! All this stuff, plus it's cheaper than CDJ!

[Alienpyon]

Things changed again! It is back in stock

^ Yay! So, I don't know if I should ask this here, but has anyone ordered from HMV Japan before?

[Krusha]

Many times before...

I like HMV.

[Masuku]

I prefer HMV over CDJapan.

[Erin.]

^ Really? Hmm, I need to do more research. CDJapan is slightly cheaper (I can get it for under $50), but HMV is the better deal in the long run.
EDIT: Meh, CDJapan is also including a *special CDJapan photo* or something. I think I'm just gonna order it from there and add it to one of my other orders, ya know? (what can I say, I'm cheap!) But I'm super excited about this!

[Alienpyon]

^ Yay! So, I don't know if I should ask this here, but has anyone ordered from HMV Japan before?

One more vote for HMV from me, although, admittedly, CDJapan are pretty good too.

Shipping from HMV using EMS courier is cheaper than CDJapan's regular airmail! (at least for European destinations)

Plus, you will get a notebook

THX!!

Also there is a radio show on 06/02 that is going to preview the album with some members talking (you can listen it on Keyhole, but I don't know if I could hear it on the radio website...)
