I am very happy about this! I have been watching the USDJPY since last December when it hit about ¥80 and everyone started predicting Yen weakness. I remember last June when a full-length album from CDJapan would cost anywhere between $50~80. I know at one point last year (or 2011), it reached about ¥74.90 or something.

It's perfect! Like a combination of SEVEN and their self-titled album.

Wow! A formal release of 失翼の聖域!! I already have the CD, but I'm glad the other fans will have easier access to the song. Also, beautiful artwork for SIRIUS and Lily.

SHADOWPLAY sounds a lot better than Daybreak. I only heard the preview of 秘密, but I like Scarlet's preview much better.

On CDJapan, it's ¥9,000 (before shipping). Brand-X is your cheapest option to get it. http://www.brand-x.jp/product/7714 If you don't know any Japanese, check this page first: http://www.brand-x.jp/page/44

I just pre-ordered this from Brand-X. EMS shipping (for this release alone) is ¥2,000!

OZ - COMPLETE BEST "ALBUM"

So far, pre-orders are only available on ZEALLINK and Brand-X. I think distribution for this release will be limited.

¥6,300, limited 1,000 copies. It's possible that this release will sell out very soon.

Not very surprising, but quite disappointing. Rest in piece, OZ!

WOW! I was right about the track list! Hope to get my hands on this when it comes out.

That would be pretty awesome! I absolutely love the symphonic version of AMON; don't really care at all for the original version.

Either live tracks or remixes. Neither of which I would want.

オトギ...... Marilyn Manson... WTFWHY!?

Oh...... well... that's still a good song, not as awkwardly placed as LOVER is, being sandwiched between Ogress and MMFP.

Intro tracks in shuffle FTW! Also, KATATONIA! One of my personal favourites. 01: Architects - One Of These Days 02: Sadie - METEOR 03: 9GOATS BLACK OUT - raw 04: Atreyu - Deanne the arsonist 05: Aureole - Tales 06: DIR EN GREY - GLASS SKIN 07: BORN - -tHinK- 08: Children of Bodom - Bodom Beach Terror 09: SCREW - RUIN AND DREAD 10: lynch. - vernie Yes, I know, not much variety. I have close-minded tastes. Also, I listen to my music on a 32GB iPhone, so I can only synch about 30% of my music. I would have used my complete iTunes library to do this, if it weren't for the technical difficulties surrounding it.

Mixed feelings about the track-list! Glad it's got MMFP, 深海魚, 株吐羅, and I don't recall SKIN, so it's either a new song, or a secret live distributed one. But come on! No 夜にある希望、朝に来る絶望？ Seriously? And I can't imagine the track-list would flow very well. And labia? SERIOUSLY? That's more worthy than any other song that's not on the disc? Still, I hope it pops up on iTunes at some point.

NEGATIVISM -TRACE- is the band's last compilation/formal release until they disband. It's out on Wednesday (or Tuesday, depending on your time zone). http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=UCCD-333B http://under-code.shop-pro.jp/?pid=52746442 http://www.brand-x.jp/product/7454

Thought it'd be worth noting that their website ne-ga.com has been dead for some time. Also, am I the only one who finds it strange that NEGATIVISM -TRACE- is out in a few days and there's still no track list?

It is fast to release the album a year right after DIVISION, but I'm glad they're not releasing six singles before it! My only complaint with DIVISION is that the songs were too short, so I would hope for longer ones this time.

The b-side from 波瀾万丈、椿唄？ This will be...... interesting. But they had to make a single out of THIS song? The music video will probably show a number of teenagers cutting themselves.
