Agreed There's some nice stuff in there after quickly looking through it especially some of their live photos and their costume designs.

This book is a keeper.

It's still available at Amazon.jp.co.
The book itself ~$25 USD!
But the shipping cost is Friggin' ridiculous!
To buy and ship to N. America, the total cost is $60USD .rage.

Is there TEMPTATION BOOK at HMV?

^^ Nope only in Japan otherwise I think that ken0601 would probably buy it from there... I think

@MrMojo: Geez, that's expensive... :'( I think only a really hardcore fan would buy it at that price imo Really tempted to buy one of those Shunkan posters at Yahoo auctions but the price is not worth it imo.

Received an email from YesAsia that it will take ~21 days for them to search their distributors to see if any copies are available so I placed an order.
The cost includes a markup from list price ~$25USD to $33USD and
Shipping & Handling was $6 USD so $40USD isn't that bad!

Really don't like the fact that YesAsia's prices are Higher than most but since this item is sold out most everywhere else, it's not bad.

Would've ordered from Amazon.co.jp if it weren't for the ridiculously high shipping cost!

I got the book from cdjapan right after I received their mailer updates on new SCANDAL releases.

Be it in CDs, DVD/BD or printed media like books, magazines, they will sent a artiste email update.

I went to do the pre order soon after reading the mail, since I foresee this book will get sold out faster than I type this reply out. . .

Yah, subscribe to mail updates do have its benefits. . .

Actually I got the book from both you and bemnage who posted in this section somewhere about CDJapan accepting orders for the book .happy. So on that note, thanks to you ken0601 and bemnage for the heads up. ^_^

Scandal is on my email update list.

Guess I better fine-tune my email's spam filter as I don't remember getting any email updates from CDJapan or any other online stores.




EDIT:YesAsia was able to find a copy as my order finally shipped

It's hard to find but possible @YesAsia.
CDJapan is sold out on their share of the books, though!

Thanks for preview.

Theyre back in stock at CDJ.

I don't think it's allowed to be honest :/ Since it's official SCANDAL stuff... demmo... but I think previews are fine... I let the mods decide on this request. They are still available in Yesasia and CDJapan I think... so you can just save up for them ^_^

arrrr. It too much expensive

Yay they're back in stock. Last time I checked CDJapan they were all sold out Hope this time I won't get chraged extra for customs
I should really stop buying stuff online

We should all reduce our spending in this bad economic time, but with the way Sony is releasing Scandal merchandise every few months, it's NOT going to happen!

We could just download the music whenever it's posted, but if the band or company doesn't get paid because we're not buying their stuff which supports them, the band won't be around long.

The prices for the music items aren't so bad.

The 2 things that kills you are:
1. The shipping costs!
2. The high Yen valuation upon conversion!

I believe this forums has something regarding posting of official media, be it books, CD or DVD.

Hence, the book will not be scanned/photographed and uploaded here or anywhere.

This book for about ¥2000 is seriously worth every yen you spend.

I know! anything and almost everything SCANDAL will kill you with shipping! Even my soldier pal in Okinawa would have had to pay tons to ship me anything!

YesAsia has it available for $33 (which is slightly more than CDJapan's price ~$24 USD but their shipping cost will be higher).

You have 2 options for shipping to N. America via YesAsia:
1. Buy another item for $6 and get Free shipping (as it applies to orders $40USD or more) OR
2. Pay $6 for S/H

Total cost ~ $40USD, which is reasonable.

Either way, shipping takes ~2-3 weeks (sometimes longer) for delivery!
The "low cost" delivery charge means the longest delivery time

It just came in today's mail .clap.
