[QUESTION] Arashi Boku no Miteiru Fuukei

[hisa-no-nikki.livejournal.com]

I have a question about Arashi-san new album Boku no Miteiru Fuukei.

Since some people already posted & shared the scans of the First Press Edition, I'm curious about the NON-First Press one.

What does the inside look like?? Are there any differences between those 2 edition?? I mean like the insert pictures of the Non-First Press booklet are different from the one from the First Press for example.

Why I'm asking this?? That because I remembered somebody posted "some glimpses/banners/posters" of Boku no Miteiru Fuukei album at Roppongi Hills and I found out that the member's individual pictures is different from the one from the First Press.

Some other differences is the group shot that Arashi-san wearing those funny glasses. At Roppongi Hill, Arashi-san didn't wear the glasses and it just a normal group shot.

Hope someone can answer my curiosity. And thank you in advance.

Of what I understood the only difference is that the Limited Edition came with a special booklet (with the pictures) and the Regular Edition only came with the lyrics booklet

"Both the first press and regular versions contain twenty tracks; however, the first press edition comes with a special booklet while the regular edition comes with only a lyrics booklet."

i was wondering about this too. so much so, that im tempted to buy the normal edition (or at least the HK or Korean release) just so i have both and can compare it...

Apparently in the RE version
The secon last page has the normal groupshot instead of the one with the sunglasses in the LE
Not sure about the individual shots

According to the Official page (http://www.johnnys-net.jp/j/artists/arashi/disco/_popup/pop_bokuno.html) the RE has a 36 page lyric book (probably has a few pictures) and doesnt have the "Premium Package" (meaning the cardboard box to hold the booklet and CD in).

i've read about this somewhere too.. there must be a different between these two.. obviously it will cost differently.. and i think something would not be available in the RE version..

Is the 1st Press Edition still available for sale? i mean in local cd shops in Japan? i bet it's very to find .. or it's already sold out for a long long time.. i mean ever since the pre-order started..

It didn't cost differently (officially, anyway, if you buy it on ebay or something similar the FP will definitely be more expensive). First Press just means the special first batch printed, the rest are printed normally, it's not like separate RE and LE editions.

really? thanks for the explaination! that really helped.. i'm still new in buying this stuff.. i rarely bought it myself..

Yes, it's the same with To be free. =) The first press for TBF came with an extra 16pp booklet whereas the regular print version didn't.

So I'm assuming the first press just comes with the 60pp booklet and the cardboard packaging, whereas the non-first press editions from thereon after come with just the regular 3xpp lyrics booklet without the extra Arashi pictures and cardboard packaging.

the 1st press is still available in my local store...

i have a friend living in Sapporo.. i wonder if i should ask her to buy me the 1st press edition.. since you guys said, the price is the same, if it's still available.. i should asked her to get me the 1st Press Copy..

thanks for the info!

It's still available at Yesasia. They restocked it on the day of the release.

Someone on 2ch posted that the inside of the Normal and First Press are different, but I'm not sure how true this is. If the pictures are indeed different, then I'm tempted to buy the normal press as well (I only have the First Press now) just so I can help with the sales. I really want Arashi to have a million seller with this album.

Are there any hardcore fans out there who actually own both versions I wonder...

Are there any hardcore fans out there who actually own both versions I wonder... --> that is why I'm asking this question since I'm a freaking collector..

[buttrflykis31.livejournal.com]

if it is different, im tempted to buy it again... >_< funny thing is, the reg version is sold out on yesasia now and the first press is the only one available, haha

[hisa-no-nikki.livejournal.com]

hontou da~ but YesAsia is a bit expensive for me..I prefer CdJapan..but when it come to drastic measure like the LE or First Press already sold out at CdJ, I go to YesAsia instead..hehehe..

[hisa-no-nikki.livejournal.com]

yeah..I didnt for get about the concert goodies *and maybe the album off shot photos too??*..but the thing is that I can see Sho-san waving at me asking to buy the non-first press too..hehehe.. it sure is tempting..

i'm pretty hardcore...i buy both the RE and LE of every album and single AND an extra LE so i can have one that's unopened lol. especially now since they sell out so fast, i like the feeling of having the copies that don't even hit the stores. :)

[hisa-no-nikki.livejournal.com]

..AND an extra LE so i can have one that's unopened.. --> WOW~!! even more hardcore than me..I have visited you LJ and double WOW~!! with the "2010 event that happened to you"..you sure are lucky ne~

and love your Ohno Satoshi "You tempt me" header..nearly get a nosebleed..
