I think i'm gonna try order from amazon.jp cos it's cheaper, 4900 yen + 900 yen for shipping, handling fees (not sure if there's any other extra charges =/ ) but then amazon didn't state whether it's a first press edition or not (can't imagine if i cannot get the diary and the guitar thing :( )

Anyone else from Malaysia has experience dealing with amazon.co.jp???

i'm back! sorry i've been on & off again coming here. been spending too much time studying (!), as well as at the H!P forum ("www.hello-online.org", if anyone's interested).

anyway, just bought the Taiyou No Uta DVD - Premium Edition yesterday, 22 Nov 2006). The Premium Edition comes with an extra DVD (Making Of, PVs, etc), as well as a copy of YUI's diary during film production & the most valuable of all, the pick pendant. Pictures below:

haven't had much time to watch it all, since buying it yesterday. did watch the deleted scenes section & loved it to bits, especially the Good-bye Days movie version. YUI is stunning!! :lovepc

I'm not so sure whether the diary & the pendant comes with all Premium Editions, or just First Press Premium Edition. But nevertheless, I'm over the moon!!! XD

Wearing the pendant now... "la lala la la, with you.." :flower

EDIT: JUst watched a bit of the "Making of" section. right at the end, where they show YUI entering the theater to watch the first screening, YUI looks SO KAWAII with tha backpack, like a schoolkid! :D and at the end, after the show, i think YUI had a tear in her eyes, maybe because this was her first movie & also as she commented, a very sad ending for Kaoru, poor YUi, don't cry :huhuhu

My sisters' came in Yesterday, they didn't tell me and hid it till evening XD The pick looks like the one, its a Heavy Fender pick, white. As longs as you don't have the the 3L things showing it looks like it, I think, now i gotta go check heh.
I watched part of the movie last night, SO much better quality, I noticed so much more in it XD Dolby digital sound, Japanese subtitles, a Pocari Sweat, all my Taiyou related items on the table, a HDTV, so good. Felt like I was back in the theater watching it again*heaven* I Havent watched the specialness yet, just Good-bye days in high quality. I belive the making part and interviews is different than the making DVD, hopefully. Just so I can Have 3 dvds dealing with the movie heh. The Diary dissapointed my little sister, she thought it was gonna be the same kind as the one YUI had, red leatherness and tie heh. She tried rubbing it in that she got hers first, then I won by saying that I atcually understood the movie, she got quiet really fast XD Deffinity worth it, I like the packaging its in, gonna wear a pic all the time, reading a diary all.

There's one really random thing about the DVD packaging that I also thought was cool on top of everything else: the flier for the movie and the drama box set. I thought it was really cool how one side had a sun theme (YUI's side) and the other side had a moon theme (Erika's side), then it showed certain parallels between the two versions (like YUI and Erika playing guitar). I'm tempted to put it up on my wall somewhere lol.

Just got mine from amazon japan. For those having financial difficulties, like myself, and willing to wait, here is the cheapest method to buy it, from what I known. (I'm from Malaysia btw)

I looked through different online stores and each has it's own pros and cons. In the end I chose Amazon Japan simply because it's the cheapest (I'm cheap you know).

By using this converter, here's the prices between the 3 major online shops:

YesAsia (Didn't mention whether it's First Press or not)
6,464.83 Yen or RM 201.73 (Free Shipping)

CD Japan (First Press still available)
5700 Yen + 450 Yen (shipping + handling fee to my country, cheapest option)
= 6150 Yen or RM 192.592

Amazon Japan (The amount I actually paid, they didn't mention whether it's First Press as well, but I got the First Press anyway hee)
4560 Yen + 900 Yen (shipping 600 handling 300)
= 5460 Yen or RM 171.021

And then I added YUI's single Tokyo into my cart, that's 990 Yen + 300 Yen (handling fee, you just have to pay once for the shipping fee) so in total I've paid:
6750 Yen or RM 210.712.

You guys do the math. Just giving a guideline, hope that this helps. Amazon Japan is having DVD box sale that's why it's cheap, but the dateline is tommorow so be quick, buy it for the sake of the goodies came along since it's limited edition, movie can go downlaod haha. As for the time needed, I ordered at 22nd and got it at 29th, i think it's fast cos they stated that the delivery time will be at around Dec 22 - Jan 2007, thought it won't arrive tht soon. (first time buying from them anyway)

A delivery guy sent it, and it came in a box. If YesAsia they will just stuff the package in your mailbox, It's in perfect condition, but I carelessly damaged the plastic wrapper zzz, I thought it's like normal cd packaging which you have to tear apart the plastic wrapper, so for the sake of protecting it, I used a scissor and just cut the 'opening' of the DVD so that the plastic still can cover the rest of the box. After I cut it it turned out that the plastic wrapper is those sticky type, those you can stick it back after opening it *sigh* Don't think you guys will be that stupid anyway haih. Wanna protect the item turned out damaging it zzz. (hope you know what I mean haha)

Sorry long post :swt Hope you guys go get it before it's too late.

Sigh, i just knew that the Singapore's Media Development Authority has "stolen" my DVDs to be checked for approval. Damn it, i feel that it is a violation of privacy. This is how my package looks like when i receive: :(

Posted Image
Notice how they tore my plastic cover, instead of opening the sticky part...

BUT, amazon japan replied my email and said they have sent a replacement! omg! i don't wish to pay the shipping fee to return them.. and anyway i'm afraid the package will be opened just like mine. Should i just keep it? but i feel a bit guilty... well, anyone living in singapore interested? i'll sell for S$50 haha.

Nope, don't need to return. They say "Since the cost of return shipping is prohibitively expensive in this case, you do not need to return the original item. You may dispose of this order at your convenience." That's so kind of them. :swt

Of course i know it's original, but just worried that someone opened and took it before the shipment or something. I was panicked last night. :(

I mean the Singapore's Media Development Authority actually. Maybe because this movie showing at spore??? That means amazon japan doesn't know that your dvd was taken to be checked???

Now you have 2 first press premium edition taiyou no uta dvds :biggrin

Oops u mean the MDA? they are idiotic, can't be helped hahaha. Maybe they are concerned about the content, but wth? isn't that too strict, and also rude for anyhow tearing my item huh. In addition, the lady on the phone said that it probably takes 2 weeks (longer than the shipment itself from Japan) to check the DVDs... and i'm expected to come down and collect. What nonsense! Took my stuffs without permission, yet ask me to make a trip there to take...

Yah, amazon doesn't know about this. When i was about to tell them, they already sent the replacement... so fast. But i may not have 2 copies though. Because i feel bad for amazon, i told the MDA that the replacement was sent, so the lady said she'll inform the shipment service not to open the package and send them back. I wonder if it's possible though. If it is not, then yes i'll have 2 sets lol.

If you feel bad about that then ask the MDA to send it back (the one they opened) and you took the new one hee, since the other one was 'damaged' by MDA, then you don't have to pay for the shipping fees :D If really got 2 sets then you can direct sell it to fellow YUI Lovers the day you guys go to watch Taiyou no Uta haha........XD

Next time we must warn any Singaporeans who wish to buy DVD via internet....... :swt

Of course i don't plan to pay any shipping fee, it's their fault! :P I don't think it's good to send back the opened one since they probably can't sell it as a new copy then. I might as well keep both if that's the case.

By the time the movie is showing in singapore, i doubt i have received my dvds yet. So, should be selling much later, hopefully somebody wants. Anyway, i'm not even sure to have both copies.

Just to clarify, the subtitles will be on japanese only. And, the opening of the plastic cover is torn. The products are not affected though, just that the mda pasted a sticker:
