Any J-Pop listeners? I have a question. (dc - NOT Morning Musume)

[Dragnov]

Can anyone tell me why this CD is so ungodly expensive?

3 songs + 2 song remixes for $13?! I can't justify spending $5+ per song after shipping. WTF! Why is it so expensive? Most albums are ~$10 and come with 10+ songs.

Katase Nana - I heard part of the "Galaxy" song and really like it, but I can't "find" it anywhere. Yes I know its old but I still want it.

So don't buy it. If enough people agree, perhaps they will lower the price. If they don't, they won't sell too many, will they?

Er....

I'm just wondering why it's so expensive as compared to everything else. I'm not here arguing business practices or anything.

And anyways, YesAsia I find to be very cheap. Even after shipping they are cheaper than most B&M stores I know.

damn. Why is it so expensive in Japan? Most full K-Pop albums I can get under $10. =\ $15 and they come with a music video dvd or autograph. I bought a couple Japanese albums when I went to Korea before for under $10 as well (though they might be bootleg, but still good quality.)

And please do find it. Are all her songs similar to this one? I just finished watching the You're Under Arrest! Live Action.

hm, found telepathy album, mi amor single, and kindan no telepathy single.
don't have her debut galaxy/telepathy/fantasy single.

luckily galaxy is on the telepathy album. galaxy
heh, didn't know galaxy was a op for detective conan, i've only seen mainly giza artists like kuraki mai, aiuchi rina, u-ka saegusa, garnet crow, etc, do stuff for it.

katase's shine was a opening for the police drama kochiike, which had morning musume's kago ai playing the part of the daughter of the main guy. former member nakazawa yuko had a recurring part too and several other members had guest appearances on the show.

edit: fixed link to mp3

korean cds are cheap like cds in the US.

haven't listened to much katase before, i'll give her album and singles a few listens. YUA live action, lol, the episode with bob sapp was messed up.

oh yeah, having "dc - NOT Morning Musume" in the topic was a nice touch, it had a batman batsignal type effect.

I said NOT Morning Musume! So stop talking about them you freak! j/k j/k

I never watched Detective Conan (heard that Galaxy was the OP song though). Galaxy is also the OP song for You're Under Arrest also then... thats where I discovered the song from.

Anyways. I :heart: U.
