Wow, that's awful! Well, besides the disc, inside the case are just 2 papers: a fold-out insert with pictures from the world tour + a square-sized white leaflet that advertises the Budokan performances and their fan clubs.

It's seems to me that most people on this site like to use CDJapan but I've given up on them because of the shoddy way they have packaged my orders.

Doesn't seem like its missing anything but, dont want a broken box and cut up cover. This is the only time i had a problem with a package from cdjapan, which is why i've been still ordering from them.

Only DVD

Guess I have to buy them both and take the subs from the DVD.

Oh come on, JPU, only DVD in this day and age? Good thing I ordered the BD, though it's not here yet. What to do about subs now...  .deli.

I ordered the Blu-Ray, but I'm more excited about the fansubbed one.  will it be posted her or in the download section?  or just a eng srt. file?

EDIT: .omg.  WHOA I didn't even read the description when I first bought it, it already comes with english subtitle?  that awesome.

EDIT: oh wait, the CDJapan one I bought doesn't have it, I re-read it.  So only the International DVD Release have english sub?  where to buy it? only one site?  
will there still be a fansubbed?


Well, I cancel the order from CDJapan and re-order from that UK site.  only 36 USD.  
I still looking forward to SCANDAL-HEAVEN FANSUB if there is one.  
My only disappointment is there is no Blu-Ray, at least I didn't see any.

I'd rather have it on BD with no subs than DVD with subs. The most important things to me are the best music and video quality. I can figure out what's going on

Also I imagine the UK release will be PAL, which probably means it'll be sped up.

Is it PAL, I don't see it anywhere on the listing if it is?

PAL is UK's (and all Europe's afaik) DVD video standard. It's very unlikely (even if not impossible) a UK/Europe DVD would be released as NTSC. It's region 0, though.

It's been so long since I last bought a DVD that I forgot all about PAL.

I have a Region-Free DVD player, will it play?  just change the NTSC to PAL and it should work, I hope.  otherwise it a waste to have it and not be able to watch it.  even worse than buying a Blu-ray without the subtitles.  

I hope the fansub, if there is one, will have it in 1080p HD, the best possible quality.

I completely forgot to preorder the documentary.... (^_^; )
The shotgun release of the BD/DVD caught me off guard (was completely expecting announcement at the arena live and release next year), so I was holding out to see if there were going to be any special gifts for certain stores and caught a cold while waiting. Somehow, I always seem to be sick when I visit here....w

I'm holding out on listening to the full version of chiisana honoo until I see the movie in full. I heard it has a lot more impact that way.  However, what I have heard was so good, powerful and emotional.  It reminded my a lot of BOWL's Itsumo Koko ni, which is a good thing. RINA's comments of it being like a flickering flame at the end of its life (something like that) peaked my interest. I hoped they might do a song that features not only the brightness of life, but the flickering of its end one day.

I really need to get on ordering the BD (because HD), and maybe the European DVD when that's released. (Release date birthday! www) I was also hoping they'd do some kind of screening at a film festival, but it doesn't look like that'll happen....

Region-wise, virtually every single DVD player in the world can play a region free DVD.
But long story short: if you're in a NTSC country, you probably need a region-free/multi-standard DVD player + a multi-standard TV combo to view PAL discs.
No problem on computers, though.


About the subs, well… Being the official ones or the fansubbed ones, you'll find BD-sync'd subs for sure. Just be patient.

Update: JPU Records just told me it's NTSC, not PAL. NTSC + Region 0 means no problem for anyone.

I know this is kind of a dumb question, but if I buy from the UK site, they will ship to me here in the United States right? Because some places don't so international shipping and stuff, and I have more reasoning behind the question that I don't feel like explaining because of too much typing.

Yes, they ship worldwide.

Just got mine. The movie was amazing.

Got mine yesterday. Haven't gotten more than 1/3 of the way through it yet, but so far I'm a little iffy on it. I kind of knew what I was getting into but I'd hoped the songs would be full songs (maybe this was discussed before but I guess I tried to avoid "spoilers"), with the "documentary" stuff in between. So far it feels like one of the bonus things you used to get on the DVD version of their CD's. I don't really understand why they cut the songs down for a full release that people paid for. It would have been better as a combined concert/documentary film.

I will say that I do like hearing natural singing; I'm not hearing auto-tune on this release, at least to the point on the disc I've gotten up to. But that just makes me wish even more that they hadn't edited the songs.

Just finished watching it this morning, sans subs.

I only know enough nihon-go to understand the excitement and the fears they faced before the shows, which were also readily apparent from their body language. I cant wait for the JPU release next month - as I am really keen to understand what the 'Mexican crisis' was about. I remembered a while back that the band admitted to "not fight" but being human, something like that was pretty much inevitable especially in a group of four people who really care for each other.

I didn't mind the pacing of the film nor the inequality of screen time each city was given - for example, I can't recall from their Tweets/IG that they did much in Singapore, hence the very brief screen time shown from Sentosa. As for the edited versions of the songs, I didn't mind that either. This cut works as far as it being a documentary film was concerned, in my humble opinion.

I guess one could criticise that there could've been more, but if those were all the interesting bits that occurred in the tour then that's all there is. It was a short world tour anyway, unless they did an extensive one and a half year of extensive touring. Now, that'll be a lot of material to choose from!

Still need to watch it ! There will be a German version maybe.

That says UK Import so most likely someone is just selling a UK copy.
