Yup. It says "Availability: Pre-order:Usually ships in 1-4 days after it is released"

I'm just too excited. Can't wait for it to land on my coffee table.

Event at HMV & Books Shibuya.

I arrive at 12am and saw all the press come in to the venue.
I then spotted Team Scandal staff, shortly afterwards I waved at them as Haruna came in and she waved back. I was the only fan there  

The tickets they gave us were numbered, but in end it was not used. (Reason I could think of was it was number for people buying 1 signed copy and 2 signed copy. So how would they decide to split the line/let people in.... oops)

We lined up around the stairs, I was 2nd, before we were ushered in the staff asked the first 2 of us if it was ok to be in any press photos, we said ok (would have been our backs/side position anyway, so will look out for any photos.).

Next a little embarrassing, I handed my tickets and the staff though I was only buying a set of 2, I told her I was actually buying 9 set of 2 :p

Haruna recognised me and took her time handing over the books, we chit chat and she grabbed my hands for a hand shake. I was explaining to her that I was buying many of these books for overseas fans. Then as I was piling the books Haruna was asking that I should get some help will carrying the books. In the end Club Scandal/HMV staff had to bring me some large bags

As I was doing this I see Team Scandal taking photos of me haha.... a little embarrassing. Before I left Haruna thanked me again for all the things I do for the overseas fans. I said see you in New york and she said "yeah that's very soon".

I can see why the event was sold out, there was only two large tables of books.

Were you allowed to purchase the 9 sets with your entry ticket of did actually have 9 tickets? They did have enough copies for all the fans with tix behind you I hope...

Books were all pre-ordered sold. i.e. I had to order 9 sets of books and prepaid for them before the event. 

i.e. Then Haruna would know how many had to be signed.

That explains it, then. Nice! And lucky as well... (those overseas fans)

On HMV's twitter, they said there were still signed copies available, 1 per customer whist stocks last. (These are probably phone reservations that were not paid/spares)

Yup, saw that. It's fine - the experience of getting anyone's autograph is sweeter when you meet the person! I'll pass.

HMV & Book update.
Signed version sold out and display already removed.
