Might have to just buy the iTunes version after all, once that comes out.

I pre-ordered in December, within the first hour it was uploaded to the page, fastest shipping and still nothing. It hasn't even entered the "in shipping process." Bye CD Japan, I'm switching to Amazonjp.

I'm relieved to know I'm not the only one with delivery failure then. Amazonjp seems pretty on to it. Looking forward to receiving my parcel from them this week : )

I usually get shipments in 2 days from Japan to California at Amazon Japan. So I usually go with that if I need something fast or on time. But if I want cheaper shipping and don't really care about when it arrives I go with CD Japan. There also other factors like Amazon usually having discounts on limited edition versions or CD Japan points that affect my purchasing decision too. But yeah Amazon Japan is currently the fastest in shipping out of Amazon Japan, CD Japan, and HMV Japan for me.

Totally. I got a bulk order from Amazonjp based purely on the discounts I got, even with the possibility of points.

Still, after "harassing" CDJ via email this morning, it seems they have updated my order to "processing shipping". LOL… Come on Yellow album, I need you already! : P

Never had any trouble with YesAsia.. I never order fast rate yet stuff always arrives from Hong Kong within a few days of shipping and they ship early—Feb. 29 for Yellow...

Does Amazon Japan really work without a third party forwarding service?

I think it's out on itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/yellow/id1079275584?l=en

I don't have it installed so I can't actually check if it's downloadable though

LOVE is really great, far from a gimmick genre excercise, Tomomi should compose more than one song per campaign.

From SCANDAL's Twitter:

「NEW ALBUM『YELLOW』 has reached number one on iTunes Japan!」

#front-page

Wonderful! I am hoping that Yellow will be their first ever #1 album in the weekly Oricon charts.

I can't wait for CDJapan to ship my copy of Yellow!

Can't wait to get mine, checked out the previews on the japanese iTunes, really liking Pizza Party tonight, and Room no. 7 XD

Does anyone have an idea when will be the international release of Yellow on iTunes and Amazon Play?

My guess would be 11th of March when the physical disc comes out

I love all the songs.

But some more than others.

I reeealy doubt that. JPU will release the album digitally on March 2 in certain European countries, and probably Epic will release it too on the same day (but there's no preorder for it). btw, Epic released Hello World in the Philippines on the same day as in Japan.

You may be right

I just guessed based on the email from JPU that said:

The 13-track record is their first to be entirely self-produced, and will be released in the UK and Europe on 11 March 2016 through JPU Records, ahead of the band’s tenth anniversary and second world tour. It will be available in three editions; CD, MP3 and as a limited edition CD and t-shirt bundle.

Pretty good for a self-composed album!
You can clearly feel that the girls are enjoying infusing different genre of music in their composing, it is more diversed, I really like that!!:D
The intro is splendid and my my, Heaven na Kibun is waaah!!
LOVE reggae song is very good, so relaxing! Again, they are doing great in exploring and creating different music types and even if the songs differed in terms of genre, they all intertwined very well, great work SCANDAL!!^o^)~
Concerning Your Song, well I do understand some Haruna/Mami parts but I will wait the lyrics translation to see the lyrics!x) Still, they tried, that's nice!

O - M - G!

They not only released 24bit/96KHz version of Yellow today (March 3) on mora but also for Queens Are Trumps, Scandal Show and Encore Show!

The Hi-Res version of Yellow is currently #5 on mora's overall "now!" (last 24hr) album chart, while the 320kbps version is #22, QAT is #29, Scandal Show is #48, and Encore Show is #74!

Before anyone goes ahead and buys those HiRes releases I recommend that you read this first: https://xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html HiRes stuff does not sound better than regular CDs. (comparing 24bit/96-192khz flac to 16bit/44.1khz flac. Any flac will of course be better than lossy formats like mp3 or aac). If you already have those CDs don't waste your money on these releases. If you want flac files without buying the physical CD it is ok though as I don't think there is any other source selling lossless SCANDAL music, correct me if I'm wrong.

After 7 albums, SCANDAL always manages to surprise me *.*

Heaven na Kibun is great, a style they have ever done, I got chills, it goes straight into my top 5.
For their first self-produced album, they have strong. My neighbor is not ready to stop yelling ^.^

Usually I need several listenings to appreciate an album. But here for the first I became addicted to this album from the first listening.
Well done girls for this album of great quality .dies.

They sell Japanese CDs in the Philippines?

Well, I ordered a second copy from a provider here who is distributing the JPU version of Yellow for a good price, so now i have the possibility of two copies :D


UPDATE: Finally got confirmation from CDJapan to say my order is on it's way. I guess it might arrive by the 11th .clap.

YELLOW can now be purchased on iTunes UK:

Oh dear my mind is doing some flashbacks of Kurt Cobain when I heard Heaven na Kibun... That's great stuff

Japanese CDs are no longer available since Tower Records closed several years ago.

What Silentdx meant was iTunes Japan and Philippines will release Yellow on the same date. Let's see once I log on to iTunes later today.

Yeah, me too.
This is a solid proof that Nirvana is one of their musical roots. imagine they doing live together on the same stage singing these song. That would be totally awesome
