Yeah, I was hoping this one would have all the songs I do want and not some of the songs I don't want quite as much, so I could just buy this one and call it good.  |

Hi Grant!
Well done! I'm still not sure what version I will get.

I've just ordered form cd Japan too, I've never ordered form them before. I thought it was worth getting this version, the Japanese CDs are really good quality and I'm assuming that this one will come with a lyrics booklet like the other Japanese versions which is also good.

I've just ordered form cd Japan too Well done Susie! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif Looks like you had the last of their pre-ordered stock. Future orders will be available 1-4 days after release. I have always found CD Japan to be excellent; their service is usually very fast and, as you observed, there is usually a lyric booklet. Hayley's Japanese releases often have different cover artwork too. Best wishes Grant |

Hi Grant,
I'm glad I got the last one! I decided just to go for it in the end rater than wait, I think it will definitely be worth it. Now my issue is how to get hold of the three extra iTunes tracks as I don't use iTunes and I don't want to have to order the uk version again, but I really want bao bei on a cd and the version of all through the night in welsh. So far I have ordered the uk version from amazon and then the Japanese version, lol, so much for not being as excited about this album I have already ordered 2 versions, I can't resist with a hayley album!

Strange, I didn't see any suggestion that CDJapan has limited stock! I've ordered it anyway.
I have the same problem Susie. I have used iTunes before, and I'm hoping they will just let me download the three tracks.

I ordered the Japanese version when CD Japan had 5 left. I had already ordered the UK version but knowing me I cannot wait to get the CDs and buy the NZ one on the 21st. I hope also that I can buy the extra songs on ITunes (normally you can buy individual songs from albums).

Hi Martin I didn't notice anything when I first looked - suspect the countdown only kicks in when stock gets down to 10. I first noticed a couple of night ago when a big red 6 was visible. Don't think you would have missed it!  Best wishes Grant |

BIG UPDATE ON JAPANESE EDITION: THE TRACK LIST HAS CHANGED. And not just a little bit, oh no. Here's the original: Here's the new one, straight from CDJapan: It's very possible it might change yet again.  And I'm very disappointed we won't get to hear the new Japanese song.  -Taylor i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif |

BIG UPDATE ON JAPANESE EDITION: THE TRACK LIST HAS CHANGED. And not just a little bit, oh no. [snip] 14. Cradle Song 15. Nemunoki No Komoriuta 16. Bridge Over Troubled Water [/size] It's very possible it might change yet again. And I'm very disappointed we won't get to hear the new Japanese song. -Taylor i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif [/quote] Hi Taylor, good find! That tracklist is confirmed by Hayley's Japanese website at (translated): www.universal-music.co.jp/hayley-westenra/products/uccl-1167/So, it's the standard UK and International tracklist for tracks 1 to 13, with three bonus tracks. The first two are sung in Japanese (I wonder if Lullaby of Nemunoki (Nemunoki No Komoriuta) is a new recording or the original from her earlier Japan album?). Bridge over Troubled water is presumably sung in English. The "new" Japanese song may be Cradle Song. The release date is confirmed as July 31st so I don't think we need to worry about CD Japan or anyone saying they only have a few left as they probably haven't got any in stock at all, yet and I'm sure they can add to their pre-orders if they want to. Oh, Japan album cover, a new one!   And guess what? It knocks spots off the UK album cover, in my humble opinion. There, I said it. Cheers, Dave |

Dave, I have to agree with you on the cover. Synthetic things have never suited Hayley, photo or music-wise. It's absolutely lovely.  However, it seems a bit washed-out to me, so I added a few shadows.  Everyone might not like it, or it might just be my screen, but whatever.  You know, this probably means that the rest of the packaging also might not be the cloudy affair that the UK packaging was. And that means... Nice crisply-edged photos!  Also, "Cradle Song" is another title for "Brahm's Lullaby," so I think that it might be the same song except sung in Japanese. Which, if the original is anything to go by, is going to be incredible! -Taylor i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif |

My vote would be for this softer version. More in keeping with the content within. Forget the added shadows below (above) in an effort to improve. BobS |

Ugh. I wish the Japanese albums weren't so expensive. I waited years to get the HSJS albums for that reason. I really want this version now. And I also hope that the US iTunes will have the deluxe edition, but I'll just have to wait and see.

It's probably subject to change.
