Hi everyone, I just found another (!) cover for Hayley's Japanese CD. It's probably the one they intended to sell at first. They removed her surname  It's "Hayley Westenra meets Japanese songs" instead of just "Hayley sings Japanese songs". Stephany  |

Hi Grant, Knowing me as you do, you will not be surprised that I have managed to resit the previews  The CD will I am sure be great when I hear it for the first time. I must confess I have heard Amazing Grace 2008 though i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifBest Wishes, Graham. |

I'm struggling to resist the previews, though I did look at Dave's spoiler and now I'm more excited than ever about this album!  I have also heard Hayley's latest Amazing Grace and think it is the most stunning version yet! Best wishes Grant |

That's quite interesting, Stephany. No telling what will be the final decision!

Hi all,
I, too, just listened to Amazing Grace and the samples of some of the other songs. I can't wait for this one. Amazing how Hayley manages to surprise us with each new album. Now I'm really wondering what this year's third international album will be like.
Also, I'm real excited about the poem "Do Not Stand at my Grave and Weep" being made into a song. I've always loved this poem ever since I first heard it when Annie Denver read it at John's memorial service back in 1997.
Let's hope that cdjapan ships soon....

Hi Roger, The album is supposed to be released on June 4, 2008 so I'm impressed that they've already dispatched it. I didn't expect to receive it before at least a couple of weeks -- especially because Japan is so far away! Hopefully the CD will find its way easily to Paris A brief video commercial about this Japanese album is now available in Real Player or WMP format. I'm delighted to see that Universal Japan is doing a lot to boost this new release. With Hayley's help on both the promotion & concert tour, I suspect that this will be another huge success!

Hi Stephany, Several of us have been greatly impressed by how quickly items arrive in the UK from CD Japan. For some reason, they are usually much quicker than anything shipped from America. It is not unusual for items to be shipped internationally a few days prior to release in the hope that they reach their destination on or soon after the release date. Let's hope it works! Roger |

Hi Roger, Stephany and everyone I have also had an Email from CD Japan telling me my CD had been shipped. Having so far managed to resist the temptation to listen to any clips, I am getting very excited about hearing how Hayley sounds. I am also expecting 'Amazing Grace' and the Blake CD to arrive in the same package. Several of us have been greatly impressed by how quickly items arrive in the UK from CD Japan. For some reason, they are usually much quicker than anything shipped from America. From anywhere else in fact! Even the UK sometimes!!  It might have something to do with the fact that Japan has at least three commercial 747 flights into Heathrow each day as well as two 747 dedicated freighters. That's plenty of room for all our CD's Best wishes Grant |

Hi, Yes it is exciting to think that they are ' on their way' as we have been waiting for the 'normal service' to be resumed i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifThey could/should be here by the weekend  Graham |

Hi All,
Yes, I think mine is on the way too. But it wasn't clear from the email whether what they have shipped is the album, or the Hayley and Blake single, or both. Maybe I will ave TWO new Hayley CDs on friday. And since I've been Hayleywowed by every one I have ever had..... The Amazing Grace video has whetted my appetite, I loved hearing Hayley singing in Japanese (in fact I also rather like her Japanese bit in One Fine Day). No idea what it means though, but I can guess, as I know the words of Amazing Grace by heart, having sung it many times myself (but I loved that hymn even more when I heard Hayley sing it).

Hi Martin If you have ordered several items from CD Japan and requested they be shipped together, then it is almost certain that your order with contain everything! If you log into cdjapan.co.jp and click on customer account, you can view your order and see a confirmation as to what has been shipped. Best wishes Grant |
