Today I received a huge shipment of SMAP and other Japanese stuff that I bought from Yahoo Japan. About 20 of the cds I had received were completely ruined because they were soaked in water. :shocked: How could that have happened with out my other items being wet?!? If they were all soaked I could just take the package to the post office and complain there but this had to have been intentionally done because all the cds were wrapped in a big plastic bag and then wrapped in bubble wrap. Completely dry on the outside and wet on the inside. It's like the person responsible for packing got pissed off and decided to dump water into the plastic bag and then carefully wrapped it in bubble wrap before shipping. i don't understand it. I was so pissed because some of the early SMAP singles that I didn't have yet were in this shipment. Luckily none of the other items were damaged because I had some books and uchiwas in this shipment as well but :headscratch: Hmmm. I wrote a long email complaint to the auction service I used because obviously this had to have been done by someone there. I'm worried because I ordered the Pop Up dvd through this auction service and almost all other SMAP stuff from Yahoo Japan through them. :shakehead: Gomen, ne. But it was kind of SMAP related and I figure you guys would understand my frustration.

Nagisa, I ca understand how you are feeling now. Anger right? I was like you last week. HMV folded up my pop up dvd poster. I was very very pissed off and complain them about it. They told me because the poster was a free poster so they fold it! How can they say such thing when CD japan take the trouble to pack the poster in bigger box? So I replied them again, telling them that they have got customer service problem. Now I had to buy 1 more of the same poster. can't find it any where...sad sad...

Yea, Hikaru,, of course they are the ichiban when they first start.. Got 25% if not mistaken.. :victory:

I was really pissed too when i opened the package and saw the folded poster. Damn!!! it's not going to be a good poster.
HMV is getting worse in terms of customer service. My friend had to cancel her Pop Up orders because they were so late in giving replies.
That's why i ordered my Nihon Chinbotsu DVD from CDjapan.

I still have 5000 yen bonus point at hmv, i think i'm gonna use it for my last order at hmv :grumble: but i still don't know which to buy, between Hotel Venus DVD and another SMAP concert DVD. Any advice? :mrgreen:

I would prefer buying another SMAP's dvd...

I agreed that they had very bad service. How come they fold the poster up right? Really pissed me off. Then no more reply from them since...Baka!!

How to play meeting SMAP??

I'm blur...

i just got sms from yanie. She told me how to get the bonus in Are You Lucky?

1. Go to Meeting SMAP and play all solo-s in Meeting SMAP RANDOMLY
2. Go to Are You Lucky? Skip the first four cards and you have to guess the fifth card correctly. So far Yanie always gets it correct with Ace.
Thanks a bunch Yanie. You rock!!!

Happy trying gals..i'm going home now, have to try it myself :mrgreen:

SMAPxELAINE wrote:Nope, I'm in Brunei now... But I'm planning to ask my friend to help me with this..

Is it still available in KL Kino??? Carol, Fye??? :crazy:

I actually plan to ask my brother to get it for me in Singapore, since he lives near Kinokuniya, but Kino in KL is selling the book at RM150.55, so I think it's around that price in S'pore. And Yesasia is selling it at RM136.35.

http://global.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/code-j/section-posters/pid-1004521539/

Usually if the books/magazines are at the counter, they're reserved by other customers, isn't it??!!

Nagisa, if I'm having same situation like you, I should be crying now.... :shamefulcry: How can the person in charge of the delivery be so irresponsible?!!!!

Nagisa, what service did you use? I used one auction service to buy SMAP stuff overseas, I actually knew the person who sold it, but when it came to my door, it was damaged as well! Cds were taken out of their cases and books were ripped. I asked her right away, if she was aware and she said she wasn't, so I went to the post office to show them the goods and they said it wasn't them, but that's when I told them, i knew the person who sold it to me and they said, because it was from oversea's, they might have done it, because when stuff goes through customs, they have to look at the items, esp. cds, they told me, usually they play cds to see if they are cds and not data cds, because people buy illegal data and throw it on a cd to see if they can get pass by customs. So maybe customs went through your stuff and just was a mess about it?

I hate the DVD staffs or whoever had the idea for making a HIDDEN f*****g track!!(even if that could be Shingo :hehe:)

After I read in lacreme there's a hidden track in Are You Lucky?!. I just tried to guess again. And then.... jaaang!! The writing is not only COME ON! but, below there's: You're A Super Lucky Man!!. Next is You're Super Lucky!!. Also, Welcome to the STAFF side!

I was screaming and screaming when I found it!!!

Spoiler — click to reveal

It's a 5-mins backstage footage with Dear Woman as background song, Takuya wandering around in the elevator and stage half-naked, Shingo wearing a tie(kawaiiiii!!!), Nakai making a funny face, etc. Mostly are on the staffs working though....with and without SMAP.

But, the most pathetic thing is... When I guessed right again...it won't come out!! It's back to the ON-STAGE Mayonaka Merry Go-Round footage!!! Iyadaaa.....!!! So, apparently I have to find THE WAY all over again. And I didn't have any clue of what I did!! What did I press to make the Super-Lucky footage come out??!O_O Apparently, you have to be SUPER-lucky to find it??!

Then, after about 50 tries....I THINK I know what it is. There might be some mistakes with what I told Qnuy above. After I tried again and again, it doesn't seem to work that way.

Spoiler — click to reveal

You only have to guess TAKUYA's card, the FIFTH card RIGHT! First to 4th cards won't do. You MUST NOT guess the first to fourth cards right, so just leave it until the card turn itself or if you don't want to wait, just skip it with NEXT button. Once again, you have to guess the 5th, TAKUYA's card right.

I dunno why, but I always got lucky on ACE. So everytime I wanna see that footage again, all I do is to skip the 1st to 4th cards, and press 1 on Takuya's card. If I failed, then I'll click 'Are You Lucky' again, and skip the first 4 cards again and press 1 on Takuya's card, over and over, until I got it.

But then again, if you still failed. Then perhaps there are another factors, that I already did. IF you guessed Takuya's card right for the FIRST time guessing, then try again for the 2nd time. Another alternative is: watch ALL FIVE solo songs in Meeting SMAP RANDOM-ly. THEN, try to guess Takuya's card on "Are You Lucky!?"
.

Let's see which one works. And please share it here, on how you found it^^

HAVE FUN!


And just now, Qnuy called me, she told me how she got the SUPER-LUCKY footage. And she didn't even have to press any numbers. She just pressed skip/next button accidentally, Lucky On-Stage footage comes on, so she pressed skip again, then suddenly....taraaa....Super-Lucky footage!!! What the---???

Does this mean different remote, different way? Or is each of our DVDs have its own way to crack open the Super-Lucky footage??? I'm seriously gonna blast whoever had this idea!!!!!!

I used Shopping Mall Japan. They had been extremely reliable so far. I guess they could have been tampered with during a customs check. I don't know. How the service works is you bid on what you want from Yahoo Japan through the service and the stuff you win gets sent to a shipping facility in Japan and then to a storage facility in the US. Then when you make a request they send the stuff to your home. They wrap everything in plastic bags and then they wrap the more delicate stuff in bubble wrap very securely, practically sealed with tape. I just don't see how it could have happened though. I'm almost positive they wouldn't ship something that had been that damaged and why would customs dunk cds in water? Everything else was perfect...books, magazine clippings, uchiwas. :shakehead:

Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement/condolences. One last shipment :fingerscrossed: and then I'm never buying anything from a deputy service/Yahoo Japan again.

I just watch TVBS and they report that SMAP will stop their sxs show...

Oh no~~~ I hope this is not true... Someone, pls tell me that... :shocked: :shocked:

Maybe the reporter mis-interpret the Japanese news. Maybe it means they're all busy so they can't film SxS for 2-3 weeks....just like always, when they're busy or one of them is injured.

Are you sure you heard the news right, Elaine? I just can't believe this kinda news like that :sweat: Esp. if it comes from Chinese/HK/Taiwan press or media.

I'm uploading that super cute, Cat!Goro skit that was on the latest smasma episode. Iwill post here as soon as it's done uploading.

SMAPxSMAP Skit: 12/11/2006

Two things I like in this skit, Goro as a cute cat with his cat gang and Shingo getting beaten up by said cat gang! I ripped it out of the smasma episode, it's about 5 mins and 30 MB and hosted on sendspace.

I just realized something to crack open the Super-Lucky footage.

Spoiler — click to reveal

First, what I just realized is...the card on Takuya's hand HAS TO BE the BLACK ACE with a BIG CLOVER on the center. That BLACK ACE. If you guess right the red ace or any other card even if its on Takuya's hand, it will only bring us to the Mayonaka footage again. So you have to click "Are You Lucky!?" again, if that happens. Then, skip the 1st to 4th cards, and press 1 on Takuya's card. If you failed, then click 'Are You Lucky' again, and skip the first 4 cards again and press 1 on Takuya's card, over and over, until you get the BLACK ACE. However...

You can also cheat!!

Spoiler — click to reveal

There's a SECOND way, that I just found. When you are already on the LUCKY ON-STAGE MAYONAKA footage, you can click the GO TO button, or whichever button you have, to function the "Skipping Directly to A Certain Track"....and press Track 11. And, jaaang ...you will get the Super-Lucky footage!!^^

Anyhow....just keep trying ne!! GOOD LUCK!!!^0^
