Code Name BLUE!

I made a silly mistake when I ordered this album last August 28.  I forgot to check the option, "Contact me for changes in shipping" (something like that) and the result was cancellation of my order. I got hysterical and almost ordered in CDJapan which the charge for shipping is so expensive even if using EMS. Good thing I was talking with my friend who bought the album along with me and I got into my senses that the cost of shipping will let us buy one more CD, so that was  a big NO WAY! I communicated with HMV, but then ordered again. And that is when I learned that I forgot to tick that option and that is why I am not receiving the email for the confirmation of my order even if there's a change on the price. He! Even on my second order, I forgot to tick it and good thing after I ordered, I emailed them saying that it is completely fine if they have to adjust the charges. Whew! Charge to experience!

All the time this morning, I jolt in my seat whenever somebody comes from the door. I just wanted to see a man dress in a red shirt, telling me he is from Empost -- a mail man! When the man in red finally comes, he called my name and I didn't say, "Yes its me" but rather "Yehey!" and he was like "Are your Flora?" apparently there are 2 parcels for our office. Haha! I told him "No" and gave the my package and I gladly signed it.

It did not take a long time for me to pop it inside the CD drive and play it! My face is wearing a big grin all the time the Code Name BLUE plays. As I said before, I did not download the album for I wanna hear if from the CD. The same thing I did for Ear Fun. Some of the songs were released on their mini albums and there are new ones too! Its so worth it! Ugggh! that looks like an understatement.

I like track no. 8, These Days, and Have a Good Night is so catchy it landed as my ringtone already! I like it when someone sings about coffee, my can't-live-without beverage! I'm surprise to hear Track no. 7, No More its a track that you can dance with. CNBLUE indeed has evolved. I noticed a lot of great guitar works.

Its so nice to see a lot of "Jung Yong Hwa" on the inlay card for the Lyrics and Music! One hot talented front man! One thing that I like about CNBLUE is the combination of Yong Hwa and Jong Hyun voices. They both sing the right part of the song. There is no song that you could say that "It should be Jong Hyun's part or Yong Hwa's part" for me its perfect till now. Although its very clear that the boys are venturing out to different genres (yes, even dance), which I like, and I hope they will not lose their signature. I still want to remember that they are the same band that brought us I'm a Loner.

Good luck to your concert in London and the series of shows in Japan in October! Yes I am bitter for not being in any of those countries.  Hope they will stop by Dubai and I know who will have a heart attack just with that thought! haha!

Out Now - Code Name BLUE!

Its probably in their hands now, Japanese Boice that is.  While for us (Boice) here in Dubai have to wait. I checked our order and only 1 is ready and since I opted for it to be delivered all together, the next shipment will be on the 31st. Then that's the time HMV will ship it, and they will most likely email me to agree with the adjustment of the charges since its more than 500 grams thus I need to add, 180 JPY which is OK. I'm hoping to get it on Thursday next week. yay! I usually shy away from mp3 rips of their songs as I want to hear it first hand on their CD because what's the point of buying. Coby, there's a 5 set calendar card! hehe.

I'm excited to hear CNBLUE's new songs and I am glad that most of it were composed by CNBLUE themselves!

I wonder how well it did on Oricon charts, and I am happy to be part of it! Next month I will order Come On, though its just a 3-song album, it will have a 44-pages photobook! I still have to buy In my Head and Where You Are, not for anything else but I simply love those songs.

I hope South Korea have something similar to HMV. My first experience with HMV is so smooth, plus it gives me an ease to know that you are buying to an established enterprise rather than some sellers on ebay that marks up the prices so high (almost doubles it). Though albums released in Korea is cheaper than its Japan's counterpart, but I wish I could get it cheaper. I got it say 50USD including shipping but on eBay its 54USD shipping charge not included.

So Boices around the world, if you would like to get Code Name BLUE, better get it over at HMV!

Code Name BLUE - CNBLUE's First Japanese Major Album

Today I remember that we still have to get CNBLUE's Code Name BLUE album! Its out on the 29th, so after receiving our salary for this month, we will order the album! My excitement was again is renewed! It will cost us, 3 Limited Edition (of course we will get the LE!) 11,190 Yen, the delivery cost might be more also as its for 3 albums which will weight more than 500 grams. This is the reason why it will incur delay, after they readied your purchase for shipment, that is the tome they will ask you if you are willing to pay the extra charges for the shipment. The whole thing will take 2 days. Still even with that it arrived fast!

I am saddened upon also reading that the album qualifies for "novelty" But its a rather a weird combination of  purchase. Why would I buy a standard edition while I intend to have the Limited Edition? I also see on one site about a Lawson version which includes I think a video of "Where You Are" at Tokyo Dome City Hall, which I don't see on the list.

I am more interested on the tracks on this album which is pretty much a combination of the mini albums that they released in Japan successfully namely, In My Head and Where You Are. I still have not listened to any of new songs of CNBLUE. Again I would want it coming from the CD itself!  A lot of the tracks here are from Yonghwa itself. :)
