Well, I just found out that Mou Ippo is not on the LE. How... strange. I mean, why wouldn't they put Mou Ippou on the LE?! :(

I don't understand their marketing strategies. They wish the fans would buy both the RE and the LE? That's a bit unkind to the LE buyers ¬_¬ ...

Well, thank you very much for this translation! :D

That because the LE already has a DVD of the PV. So the RE usually comes with more songs + karaoke tracks to make up for the difference.

Its how J Storm markets their singles...

Oh, I see. I would have thought the LE would have included all of that. I'm Canadian, you see, and 20$ is the usual price of a full CD. Singles are pretty expensive from my standpoint... I would have expected karaoke tracks to be included as well on the LE.

Thank you for taking the time to inform me properly. :) I'll be a more informed buyer for their singles to come. Arigatou!

usually full albums, johnnys or not, here are 3500yen for the REs. singles also are around 1000yen, no matter the company. It's how Japan works.

In the US albums are around $20, too! But I think you get a lot more with the japanese albums and singles. :D

Yep I usually pay around that for a Japanese album, and once bought an album which cost 5000yen as it included a photobook and bonus DVD. I can almost never resist extras.

it's not on the LE because with the LE you get the PV and the making! That's how they get you to buy both the LE and RE!
