[Releases] V6 & NEWS
Once again, releases were announced at a time I was either really busy at work and/or too tired to go on the Internet at night. So I'm late again, gomen nasai!
10th Anniversary Concert Tour "musicmind" DVDs by V6
Release date: March 1, 2006
All versions will have the concert on two discs.
Click here for CDJapan listing of Limited Edition "A". - "out of print"
This version will feature two additional discs. Disc 3 contains interviews, rehearsals, the handshake event, and "Hold Up Down"-related things. Disc 4 contains what they are calling "MC Collection A".

Click here for Yesasia listing of Limited Edition "B".
There will be two additional discs here too, but the content is different. Disc 3 contains the "thankyou*mind" event from November 1, 2005. Disc 4 contains "MC Collection B".

No additional discs, but the First Press has a 48-page live photobook.
Everything associated with this release has been so chaotic. Only three weeks' notice, for starters. CDJapan is "out of print" on the Limiteds and Yesasia & HMV aren't even bothering to list Limited Edition "A". Today, I learned why from my Asahiya Express contact. Apparently, only 40,000 copies of each Limited Edition are being manufactured. My contact received the online order form from the distributor just this morning and only had half a day to order. It seems to me that only the big behemoth retailers in Japan will get their allocated quantities, while smaller outlets like Asahiya Express would get very few.
Personally, I decided that I can't afford all three, as much as I'd want that photobook. Each Limited is 8800 yen already, and the Normal is 5300 yen. I'm not even confident that I'll get both of the Limiteds. We'll just have to see...
"Sayaendou/Hadashi no Cinderella Boy" CD single by NEWS

As everyone knows by now, "Sayaendou" is being used as the theme song to the new "One Piece" movie, releasing in Japan on March 4, 2006. It will be the one and only release by NEWS in 2006. Is it true what I've read that NEWS, because of the upcoming hiatus, will not appear on TV at all to promote this? Will there even be a PV?
