Posted on 02-25-2010 (Thu) 23:49 in announcements

The jacket’s artwork was revealed for the first time during the latest episode of Alice9 Channel on NicoNico, but it was just uploaded on the official website:

 

The album is due for release on March 24th, 2010 for 2,800 yen (tax included) and will contain the following tracks:

01. Kuulon-NINE HEADS RODEO SHOW-
02. FANTASY
03. VELVET
04. NUMBER SIX.
05. JEWELS
06. WHITE PRAYER
07. TSUBASA.
08. cosmic world
09. BLUE PLANET
10. MIRROR BALL
11. RAINBOWS
12. the beautiful name
13. Hana [hæ・nə]

The first press edition includes a special booklet and sleeve case.

We’ve already mentionned CD Japan’s exclusive priviledge here, but it seems like NeoWing (the Japanese company that owns CD Japan) will be offering the same priviledges to Japanese customers through its website.

Also out of curiosity, who’s buying it? Why and why not? Share your opinion in the comments section!

  1. I will not be purchasing it, because it’s so expensive, and if I already own all of those songs [except for Hana and Tsubasa] what’s the point in spending $50?
    Although, I do love a nice booklet.. XD

  2. 8D Cool cover!
    I preordered it! I wasn’t sure at first, because there are no new songs, but I GOTTA SEE THAT “SPECIAL BOOKLET”, and then with all that promo stuff on top of that!
    I’m REALLY excited about it!
    GAHHH! And I wanna win the autograph…!!!

  3. I’m buying… being honest I didn’t mean to (’cause I have almost all the songs in previous album and it’s a bit expansive to me), but ’cause the offering of CD JAPAN I decided to buy and of course I’m doing my best to make the people in my country buy it too (actually I’ll copy you Regine, and make the same question at Alicenine.org xDDD May I?)

    Jackie~.

  4. I will not be buying this one. I have all of the songs on the thing anyway, and it seems like a waste of £20 just for a poster and/or a few snaps of them.

  5. Great question!

    I’m buying; even though it’s expensive and there’s no new material, it’s a way for me to support the band in a way that’s within my means. And anyway, that particular playlist itself looks great, and I kind of want to collect what I can of their releases.

  6. In addition to collecting and supporting the band, its good for people who actually don’t have any of the previous CDs. I personally don’t, so I rely a lot on what songs I can access on the internet. So having this collection CD will let me have some of the their songs on a CD rather than just on the internet.

    Plus, it’ll make it more convenient to have some of the more popular songs on one CD rather than on multiple CDs. Plus, CD JAPAN offer convinced me too. ^_^

  7. Even though I would love to buy it just for the sake of encouraging them, I also believe it is a waste of money considering I already own all of their albums, two of them also being the special edition.
    Actually…
    I would have gladly bought it if Ruri no ame was on it.
    Which is not the case and I’m sad… :’(

    I’m gonna put that ‘unspend’ money into the “I can’t choose between London and Tokyo!!! >3<" account. : P

  8. I’ll buy it!
    But until it reaches HMV singapore.. (I hope HMV will bring it in!) XDD

  9. I pre-ordered already. At first I was in doubt whether to buy it or not. But as usual even if I decided to not buy, in the end I’ll still buy, because it’s Alice Nine. I got nothing to waste except money but hey, I’ll play the song in my car and it will be awesome :D Collect all alice nine’s release as collection, that’s my resolution for this year xD Can’t wait to see the poster and other bonuses.

  10. Pre-ordered it from CDJapan. Have most of the songs in the album as well but I love single/best collection albums! ^^” And frankly speaking, it’s been a long time since I last bought Alice Nine’s stuff so I should really support these guys now.

  11. I bought it on impulse actually. LOL. After seeing the list of songs, I thought to myself “Why did I buy it again?”. But then again, I don’t own any of their singles, and I have that slightest chance of getting an autographed copy. So…why not? XD

  12. I too don’t own any of their previous CDs, as I’ve only become a fan recently. So I’m definitely buying it.

  13. i already order it, well i dont own a alice nine cd so i though the single collection was a good option , and i wanted to try the japanese stores online

  14. I’m a new fan and don’t own their previous singles before Hana, so I’m definitely going to buy this single collections! x3

  15. I’m debating with myself… I have most of the singles but at the same time, I want the extras! >< lol!

    I'm also wondering if they re-recorded the songs, especially since Shou's voice has improved now and the playing of all the members. That thought also pushes me towards wanting to buy it.

    Ahhh! I don't know if I should or not! lol

  16. I don’t think they’ve rerecorded the songs, it’s just an album of their different singles.

  17. whoa! that was, expensive.
    i got all their songs downloaded(only) and i’m dying to get at least one of their original albums.(music stores here in Philippines don’t sell, and asking them if they have Alice Nine albums being sold there and they say “none”) =(((

    the artwork is awesome.

  18. @Freka lei-chan
    It’s easier to import them. Try CDJapan or HMV Japan

  19. I pre-ordered it from CDJapan.
    At first I was in doubt, because of course I know all of these songs, but the poster and photo’s did sound like a cool bonus.
    Why I did buy it was because of the price. I don’t know why it’s $50 because I’m fairly sure the Euro is not THAT valuable at this moment, but it only cost me €21 :) And I think that is a fair price for a CD, and especially one with bonusses.

  20. hey! ^-^ i’m buying it, coz I got into Alice Nine in Sept 2008, so getting their Greatest Hits collection would be a great Alice Nine cd addition for someone like me who didn’t have the privilege to follow them from the beginning ^^

    plus, the cd japan offer nearly made me scream out loud in the office, and it pretty much sealed the deal for me xD crossing my fingers for the autographs, lol~

  21. Not buying it. Waste of money!! Just another way to suck their fans dry. And I guess they want to release something this year despite that King Records fall out thing.

  22. Just like U2 or Britney Spears releasing their “Greatest Hits” album, it’s basically a collection of their most popular songs. Even though I have all their albums and singles since 2007, I’ll still be purchasing this sale not only because, just like Yuu-chan stated, it helps support the band but also because I’m a very big fan…I know I’m going to listen to it and put it in my iPod.

    As silly as it might sound, I’d pretty much buy anything they’d sell because I don’t know if I’ll ever see them since I live in the states. I hope I didn’t offend anyone with the whole ‘fan’ thing. I just feel that as a fan, I want to collect as much as I can before they leave us :X

  23. Jackie said: “Not buying it. Waste of money!! Just another way to suck their fans dry.”

    It is the fans choice to buy it or not. For me it would NOT be a waste of money because it has most of my favorite songs which I do not have yet on CD.

    So for alot of fans it is a very good deal, rather than trying to buy them individually via ebay or amazon which would be wayyy more expensive.

    So it is NOT just another way to “suck their fans dry”. It is obvious that you are not a true fan or you would not have said such a ignorant comment.

    ———————————————————-
    Yes I will be buying it! XD

  24. buying from cd japan in hope of getting the autographs~ 8D

  25. I just received it today. Sadly, it’s not autographed =( Any lucky ones has it?! and and and… Shou looks awesome, OMFG
