Since I missed posting the new releases last week, I decided to do a massive two week new release post, and boy is it packed full of awesomeness. From DVDs to CDs, there really should be something for everyone regardless of what region you're in.

In Region 1, the critically lauded K-movie Mother (starring Won Bin) lands on both DVD and Blu-ray as ( Read more... )

There are lots of goodies in this week's batch of releases! The biggie, for me, is K-drama You're Beautiful, which finally lands on Region 1 DVD. A two film collection of Yasujiro Ozu films from Criterion is also coming out, as well as Monkey Majik's best of album and Narsha's mini-album with the controversial (but hella catchy) "Bbi Ri Bba Bba."

CDJapan is holding their summer clearance sale, and they've included some really excellent deals on selected CDs and DVDs. Quantities can be pretty limited, so I'd recommend swinging by earlier rather than later if there's something in particular you're looking for.

Note: There are quite a few JE concert DVDs discounted from 10-30% OFF, which is ( Read more... )

It's a pretty light week, but there are still some goodies to be found. If you're an animal lover, there's a documentary about the rising population of stray animals in Japan that hits Region 2 DVD this week (Dogs, Cats & Humans). I've heard that while it's difficult to watch, it leaves that much more of an impression on viewers. Big Bang's 2010 ( Read more... )

Weekly new release posts are back! You must have been so lonely without them - or at least that's what I like to tell myself. In any case, there are plenty of goodies for everyone in this seemingly small (but packed) batch of DVDs, BDs and CDs ( Read more... )

JE fans probably already know about this week's Akanishi-less KAT-TUN single, but there are plenty of other CD releases landing if they're not your cup of tea. Lambsey and Stereopony have singles arriving, as well as JASMINE and VAMPS.

On the DVD front, Tidal Wave (a.k.a. Haeundae) finally lands on R1 DVD and RA Blu-ray, while several awesome K- ( Read more... )

This is such a good week for region 1 DVD releases. Both Tokyo Sonata and Eye for an Eye arrive on Tuesday, May 4 from E1 Entertainment, and I can't wait for my copies to land! Tokyo Sonata is the latest from director Kiyoshi Kurosawa and stars Teruyuki Kagawa (Mr. Brain, 20th Century Boys). Eye for an Eye features performances from Han Suk Kyu and ( Read more... )
