    Do we have new updates regarding their JP album and the 5th and 6th track?

    No as they're opting to wait until the Korean version is released, though one of the two tracks would be the Japanese version of WHEN I MOVE -- it's only the sixth track's title that's unknown at this point alongside what the final play order is for the second disc and DVD.

    Did edit the OP though as Universal finally updated their first press item on their store.

    edit Changed wording as Jiyoung just noted on their TikTok live the sixth track is a new song solely for the Japanese release.

    Do you guys know if they’ll have a Korean album released? Logically I’d say yes but there’s no news since October 20th about their comeback 

    Information for the Korean release (for ordering and what's included) is here: https://karaofficial.kr/contents/636dea10c82cfb7148f767ab

    Only the first linked store looks to take non-Korean orders? Though it's also pricy af shipping so... looking to see if other places outside of those listed are selling it might be a decent idea lol :'>

  3. Edited to add a couple of stores to the OP. Also figure a bump to this thread is warranted for those interested in the HMV Japan bonus, as Japan Post has recently updated its list of countries that EMS packages can go to (thus expanding the amount of people who can order from there without requiring a forwarding address/proxy buyer).

    edit: Some places might still have to use forwarding or proxy services for HMV Japan due to them marking the release as non-exportable as a head's up.

    How to use forwarding addresses

    Tenso is the most commonly used one, and has its own guide here for the most part:
    https://www.tenso.com/en/static/guide_buy_index

    This is how a given address will look when put into specific stores:
    Tower Records:
    L7dyQbD.png

    HMV Japan:
    zg5n4IL.png

    There are other places which offer forwarding addresses as well and have been known to be good to use, such as BigInJapan.

    Please note that using a forwarding address will require you to put the relevant order in yourself, and most sites do not have an English version available. Some Japanese stores have also been known to reject non-Japanese payment methods on top of this, which will then require one to use a proxy service instead (stores which are noted above with a "yes" on allowing forwarding addresses are confirmed to not reject non-Japanese cards/other payment methods).

    How to use proxy buying services:

    How to use proxy buying services

    A number of places offer this, including CDJapan which is listed above (which does mean you can effectively have an order from them with their own and another store's copy of the album if you want).

    Below are guides for some of the more commonly used places:

    CDJapan/Neowing: https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/daiko/
    buyee: https://buyee.jp/help/yahoo/guide/how-to-buy / https://buyee.jp/addtobuyee/index (first is a general overview of how to use their service for non-Yahoo Auctions/mercari items, the second is a browser plugin that allows one to open a given store link and simply add it to their buyee cart through it)
    FromJapan: https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/sp/introduction/en/ (the above links in the post can simply be input into their search/order form, since it would lead them directly to the item you want; also if using to purchase from Tower Records, it might be worth mentioning you want the external preorder bonus)
    BigInJapan: https://www.biginjap.com/en/content/14-proxy (tl;dr: requires emailing them for proxy buying, using one of the other above options will likely be easier)

    Hey, not sure if this is possible but none of the MV downloads seem to work anymore since Flash player is no longer supported - would it be possible to update those? 

    If you quote a post you should be able to see a YT link within the source of some of them, though said videos might be still dead on there too. At least, two of the ones I opted to check were gone (one deleted from copyright strike and one removed by user).

    If there's a specific music video you're looking for I can see if I might have it in some form.

  11. Translation of the legible part of this: C3fvSo2VYAAf5Za.jpg

    "Gyuri and Seungyeon event report" (Text that basically notes about how the two came for fanmeetings in Japan during the winter, noting out Gyuri's meeting on December 25th as well Seungyeon's release events for "Uchuu" from January 12th to 21th.)
    Gyuri: A long year and three months since she was in Japan for a fanmeeting, with a "welcome back" feel.
    Seungyeon: Release events for her first solo album "Uchuu"; "everyone please cheer me on".

    Under Gyuri's side, it notes "group persistence appeal", with the pink text line noting, "Hello, I'm KARA's Gyuri".
    Under Seungyeon's side, it notes "'Uchuu-kun' and 'Haruiro' showcase", with her pink text line as, "When I hear everyone's cheers personally, it makes me happy".

    Kind of wish there was a better copy with the whole thing readable :x Either way, kind of shows how Gyuri is still a bit insistent on carrying the KARA name with her, while Seungyeon isn't as much (not surprising given a note she made in a previous interview, where she wanted people to see her as solo Seungyeon for now instead of KARA's Seungyeon).

    Are the photobooks for Type A and B different? My Type B is for a friend so I can't open it to check xD

    From what I've seen on Twitter, I believe so. When I get mine I'll double check though just to see, since the only things I know for sure are different outside of the obvious are disc art and the photocard (unless you're unlucky and pull the same one).

    Got these pics today, and should have them by next week at the latest. If I'm not lazy or have a lot of work to do I might try to scan both of them along with the random picture that's in the same package.

    Also, as a head's up: if you're having trouble getting the album, Yahoo Auctions would be the best place to look for them (as Tower Records has them as sold out and the only other way to get it at the moment is digitally through Google Play).

  14. If it matters to anyone, the album can be bought from Google Play as well at the moment. It hasn't appeared on iTunes or Melon yet, but I imagine at least the former might have it tomorrow given Google and Spotify have it (or possibly not, it's hard to tell since neither of her official accounts mentioned the releases from today).

    I went ahead and placed a special order at CDJapan for the type A version. The URL is

    http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEODAI-13600

    With their service fee and the 2000 yen EMS shipping to the USA (only option), the total was around 60 USD.<_<

    Weird that they'd put in two entries for the same album, as my own order from them was under a different name.

    Either way, that saves me some time on making a guide on how to order through them unless someone wants type B (as the link they gave me lists sold out now and had the "don't buy this if you didn't request it" note on it).

    To be honest i'm a little dissapointed with this release... not because of the content but because it's not available in a big japanese online store like cdjapan or hmv japan... I've been trying to get it but doesn't have any available options... If anyone know how could we buy it please post it here. Thanks...

    If all goes well, it'll be on CDJapan as a special order item. I'll be more than happy to give you the respective links once they add it, the downside is it'll cost a bit more since they charge about 1500 yen alone for special request items under 5000 yen (and will charge the domestic shipping fee too if Tower Records charges in country shipping to them).

    In the case that they can't add it (which seems unlikely) or you really can't wait to place an order, shiris' options are also there for you. Getting a tenso address requires you sending personal ID to them though.

    Jiyoung has two singles coming out on December 7th; the second of them is Koi o Shiteita Koto, which was announced last night via Twitter (and subsequently posted to her LINE account). It'll come in two editions: CD+DVD and CD-only, and will have a random photocard from five types.

    Unlike Fake, this song features a more cuter image, taking from her past single Suki na Hito ga Iru Koto. It's also meant as a Christmas single as well.

    The third song on the single, "Up In The Air," was originally released as part of her debut international single "RADIO" in March of this year.
