i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifI have just ordered the CD thru CD Japan. It is going to cost me a lot of money due to the strong yen vs weak NZ Dollar. But if the second CD is as good as the first one it will be well worth it. Oh dear NZ's got currency problems too has it? Sorry about that. As I'll post shortly CDJapan was a greater cost than i had envisaged. Peter S. |

OK, I've bitten the bullet and ordered my copy. How could I not do when I love the first one so much? It cost me very nearly 30 quid though even with 100yen discount! - Ouch!

Martin but Hayley is worth every penny! in reply to other posts, I have ordered over £80 worth of stuff from CDjapan in the last 6 to 9 months, all using EMS as postage option and found that it took 5 days from ordering to it landing on my desk at work (approx 3 days delivery), this has been every time to date. Cheers Dean |

Have just placed my order via CDJapan. As everyone says, the albums are quite expensive for us in the UK currently but Hayley is worth it  |

Just seen Dave's video link. Its great to see Hayley feeling well again, and back to her old self.
I'll definitely have to order the second Japanese album after watching the video.
What is the official release date of the CD?

Cheers Dean I too have ordered several things from CD Japan. Mine too came on five days, but that was ordinary airmail! Is EMS worth the extra I ask? Martin |

Hi All, Yes expensive it may be but I have just got the refund from the Barbican so that should cover it  Best Wishes, Graham |

I get used to choose EMS at CDJapan from the first time I made a purchase in the Internet, I was very concern that it could be lost, and I don't have a clue of how regular are the flights from Japan to Portugal. And with the tracking number provided, I can follow precisely where the package is. Although I didn't pay any fees for all items purchased from around the world (outside the EU) sent to me by ordinary mail, they are still subject to the payment of customs duties. Best wishes, Paulo Correia |

Martin Hi Martin & All I couldn't agree more. The special edition, via normal mail, cost me 3643 yen ($40.54). I always use the normal mail option as my two previous purchases only took 10 days to arrive after despatch. Best wishes Martin |

Hi Folks, I would recommend the normal mail option , It is often just as fast as the more expensive courier option and less likely to attract customs attention, Almost all parcels going through the more expensive private system attract customs attention, if you are prepared to pay that much for delivery they assume it has a higher value or is a business to business transaction. If the supplier offers the option, have the parcel marked "GIFT" or of "NO COMMERCIAL VALUE" on the declaration form. It is the value that they work out the tax on ! There is no harm in sending a gift to yourself either it's one sure way of getting exactly what you want, instead of socks |

No.5 ねむの木の子守歌= Nemunoki no komoriuta / Singing lullaby under the silk tree is the only song sang in Japanese together with Tokyo Womens Choir organized by Ms. Reiko Yukawa a song writer. According to the HSJS2 track listing translation provided by Maya, I suppose this tune will be only available sung in Japanese!?  I wonder if the CD single will have an English version also! Definitely another one to join my Hayley's collection! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif  Best wishes, Paulo Correia |
