Hushabye - Japanese edition

[Libby]

Agree, this cover is much better than the UK one.

The Japanese always seem to like to use photos with her eyes closed! Have you noticed that? Ever since HSJS, so many of the covers have been of her with her eyes closed or turned downward. Of course, Prayer and Crystal weren't like that, but that's why I say ever since HSJS.

Chicago fan, if you do decide to get the Japanese version, get it from CD Japan, not Amazon. It's cheaper to get it directly from the country of origin rather than buying it as an import. I never buy anything as an import unless I can't get it any other way.

But didn't HSJS II have a front facing open eyed cover? XD

And whatever happened to that Mandarin song? Is there gonna be a special Chinese version XD?

Wow I think that cover is much better than the one for the other versions, I think Japan more often than not get the best photos for the albums released there. I really want to get this album but I know I won't be able to afford it for months. I like so many others, really want BOTW though, that would be the only song I would get it for really, and my parents are making me doubt whether I should get it just for one song, particularly if I then didn't like the arrangement or something, which I would only know once I'd bought it. I don't understand why BOTW was only put on this version, I would have thought it would have been the 'better' song for the deluxe version rather than Bao Bai, I mean I really like that song but BOTW is a very popular song here and one that a lot more people would know so might encourage more to buy it, certainly more than Bao Bai would, .
I must start saving up now

Hello everyone

The new cover for the Japanese release of Hushabye is absolutely stunning - can't wait to get my hands on one to add to my growing collection i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

I'm also surprised we haven't heard anything from Taiwan - unless it changed, the release date was 28th June.

Best wishes
Grant

Yes, which is why I said "so many of the covers", not all of them.

On the special edition, yes; however, on the standard release, it did have her looking down:

Exactly. I was going by per album release, not per version. I always buy the special edition. If you're going to the trouble of purchasing it all the way from Japan anyway, you might as well make it worthwhile!

Amazon shows the new album artwork for the Japanese import.

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.

Ha Ha,

How can ITunes offer a DeLuxe edition when much of the whole DeLuxe thing is about the quality of the Print and packaging and the high quality disc.

After seeing the JP edition on eBay, they had the full track list with another title for "Cradlesong" - Yurikago No Uta. You can search it on YouTube. I suggest the Rimi Natsukawa version. :wink:

I'm really hoping the Japanese version has more photos of her in her other outfits. I'd really like to see one of that greenish sparkly one, in particular.

I finally pre-ordered it. There were 7 copies left before I ordered. I'm paying $40 to get BOTW, basically. LOL
