OMG! i FINALLY got my notice yesterday to go get the CDs at the post office. "what CDs?" you might ask. Unbelievable but true; NEWS' "pacific" and "weeeek" !!! i got them this morning, but haven't opened the package yet, 'cause i'm at the CS department right now o(><)o. I was nstarting to get a bit worried, seeing as CDJapan sent me an email on November 5th saying they had shipped my order. Apparently, the package was stuck at customs since November 29 XD so, it took 24 days for the parcel to arrive to Italy, and then another 22 days from customs (probably in Milano) to my city (Livorno) -_- I also had to pay 12.58€ -around 18$- for customs to get those CDs ><.
I DON'T CARE! they're here for christmas!! this is my xmas present. I'm so happy! can't wait to open it and listen to the original CDs (since i've only listened to the mp3s till now. sorry, after one month passed i just couldn't wait any longer !! XD)
BTW, i was surfing CDJapan. I knew that purchases there always counted towards the Oricon charts, BUT i found out that it's only since Novembre that they've become an official Oricon contributor. [

That got me curious about the rankings... for the month of Novembre, pacific is at #2.... who's at #1? who dared snatch the #1 position?!!!! I couldn't believe it when i saw it. BSB!!! -_- oh well. Both Arashi and NEWS are in the top 50 for the year's album charts. that's good ^^
