@ sashimi : Aww... I guess they (cards) sold out pretty quick. LoL~ The last time about 3 days ago I went back there, none were left. XD Oh yeah... pardon a noobie like me... but I wonder how come I don't see any KAT-TUN CDs at HMV like NEWS or Kanjani 8? I mean those audio ones, I know there's the DVD/VCD live...

Hehe I never buy those cards unless they are of good quality...=p

They haven't debutted yet so no music cds but HMV do sell their kaizo concert cds. I have not seen a single Kanjani 8 cd in HMV ...or is it just me?

Sorry for this uber late reply. Haven't logged in for a few days already.

Hi All, I am new to this forum and was suprise to see so many Singaporean here. By the way anyone know where we can get Japanese Drama in DVDs here in Singapore coz I only find VCD in Poh Kim and TS.

DVDs...usually movies but drama wise, very rare. If you can find one, kudos! The best place is to buy it in Japan. lol

And the quality of Jap VCDs in Singapore sucks. I bought Engine from TS for about 16 (I have the membership card), and halfway through episode 6 there was this weather report, in Japanese no less, flashing insanely on the screen declaring that there would be "heavy rain" that night.

Yeah, because they Taiwan imported. I feel that these Taiwan replicas of the cds are recorded of the tv rather than taken straight from the Japanese tv station itself? Is this cheating or what? =XXXXX

I need help!! Does anyone know where I can get Umizaru evolution VCD? This drama series ended on 13 september in japan on fujitv. Is it out yet? Or do I still have to wait a long time? I'm really dying to watch it. VCD shops or rental shops all can as long as I can watch it. Please help!

I bought the movie version. Have not seen the drama version though. Maybe it will be out only some time later?

HYD is still airing in Japan so not so soon you will be able to obtain the vcds or hyd.

like i've said ~~ the only REAL ORIGINAL is Japanese version's DVD ~~
lolx ~ those with chinese sub are all from Taiwan and M'sia ~
so they're not original ... just that they have a company which comes out with a boxing and translations sub ~

and frankly speaking .. we gotta depend on them to be able to buy the vcds ... hahaz ~~ (i really can't believe if i'm buying japanese original dvd like the way i buy vcds here ... i'll be broke ... )

yea right enen! original DVDs are like many times the price of the vcds selling at TS and poh kim?? lol~ sigh... we gotta depend them for the vcds... i can never imagine one day when our govt stops or even bans all supplies of japanese vcds here! i'll faint and so let's just bear with the earthquakes, alarms, weather reportings and the sometimes the lousy quality

yah yah.....Minami chan say she came here to be kissed....and Senna was like ehhh.....and she just stood there for a long time and when the flares started, he grabbed her and started kissing her that's like one of my favourite Jdramas....and it's a great classic (at least that's what I think) only 9?? wow...and u're watching Jdramas already? haha man...I was like into cartoons at 9 so u planning to watch anymore of Takuya's dramas?

Hahaha cause I always stayed up late when I was a kid, and Channel 8 had this Fuji Hour thing every monday from 10-11pm. I remember thinking 'this guy with long hair is pretty cool'.

And of course I'm watching more Takuya dramas! In fact, I have watched Love Generation, Beautiful Life, Hero, Good Luck, Pride and Engine which means practically all of his classics. And I finished all of them in 3 months! I amaze myself sometimes hahaha

hi dirtysweet! heh my first drama watched was long vacation too!! classic!! you watched it when you are only 9 yrs old? hmmm i forgot what i was into when i was 9 yrs old... perhaps is like ashley... into cartoons watching kids central everyday...yup sometimes the quality of the vcds are really sucky.. there's loud alarm suddenly for warning of earthquakes and stuffs *i had to lower the volume as i got startled by that alarm* its so sad that there's no where is singapore selling this drama... during that time is was PSLE for me so had to skip a couple of episodes... and i still remember watching the last episode until like 1 am++?? this drama had made me into a jpop/drama lover too!!

YAY LONG VACATION! I know this drama has the most kickass soundtrack ever, and I really really liked the theme song! It's so sad I can't find the VCD now, I like forgot almost everything about it cause I watched it like 6 years ago! And cartoons weren't really my thing, but I liked Pikachu though haha!

I love the Takashi-Nanako pairing in GTO. They were one funny bunch. As for Love revolution, Fujiki-Makiko pairing made me melt. Takuya-Takako Matsu pairing made me feel alive. Ryoko Hirosue-Takenouchi Yutaka pairing was nice. These were the 4 pairs that really left an impact in my mind. And of course the recent Jun-Inoue pairing. haha!

What's yours then? Those that made you remember them for years?

The weirdest thing is that even Kinokuniya doesn't stock Jap DVDs! I went there and they had tons of Manga and everything but NO DVDs.

yesterday, i go to J.B. Leisure Mall to watch the <King Kong>
I found that the 2nd floor VCD seller got selling the <Densha Otoko电车�j> movie . I had been found it a long time.
but i didn't buy it bcoz of in rush to go in to the cinema. If i didn't wrong, it is DVD version. the price is RM 29.90,but the box made me confuse...
the front is Densha Otoko movie 1, but the back is the TV version 1.
Ny the way, i will buy it in this week. I will tell you all the lastest news at all~

Funny. When I went to HMV a few days ago on the weekends, I didn't see the Kanjani 8 CDs! Maybe sold out? Hhmm...

And, TS is selling the Ima Ai ni Yukimasu TV series VCDs.

Firstly those original Japanese dramas do not have any subs at all and secondly one box set will be too expensive. If I am not wrong, it will cost $200SGD per drama.

omg that's so expensive! heh i can buy aboutt 10 sets of TS produce VCDs with 200 bucks

Eh... Heheheh. I'm not actually a K8 fan. Happens that I listen to a lot of NEWS, Arashi and V6. So happen to keep tab on the other Johnny's groups as well. So just happen to browse around. Hehehe...

Hi guys, i recently saw the DVD version of Engine, Last Christmas and Densha Otoko(drama version) at Poh Kim. Might be a small piece of good news for those who are looking for Jdorama DVDs but anyway i was thinking about buying the DVD of Densha Otoko(drama version) since i already got the vcds. Densha Otoko was simply great and i fell in love with Itoh Misaki ever since!!!
