sweet i already have the cash set aside $35 :) (do i even need to save that much?)

Depends on the store you're buying from and your location :D In CDJapan the CD is 2913yen ($25.70 as of today) and their cheapest shipping (SAL) is 600yen to the farthest location, and they give you 300 yen discount on first order, so you'll maybe even have few spare bucks :pimp:

At Yesasia it's $27.49 and eligible for free shipping, which means they ship with no charge if you buy stuff for over $39 (or over $49 if you live in Asia-Pacific and over $99 if you live at the world's end).

It was only ever performed live once but I've never seen a video for it.  There's also a studio version on one of Shiina's albums but I like the live version better.
What's the quality of your live version like?  The version that most people seem to have is a bad file with wobbly sound in parts.  I've got a good version if you need it. (It's not so rare since I added it to a live clips compilation and seeded it at bunko, and someone re-upped it last year somewhere too).
Sig gone. Tinypic is no more.

Shiina Ringo & Utada Hikaru - I Won't Last a Day Without You (Music Talks '99, 1999.10.07).mp3

http://s53.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=05RQSUCCHG0CP3F2UW709TYHJW

IN around 2002 I was annoyed that every version I got off napster(if it was still going then) or winmx sounded like it'd been encoded from a wobbly cassette, then I found that version on some little website.  The original file was realaudio (but a big high quality file not the usual little ones you get) and that's an mp3 converted from it.

Careful, yesasia might change their prices. Order it at the price or else they might rip you off (like they always do :D)

I never liked Yesasia, but they have first presses of some stuff when it's sold out everywhere, too bad they don't inform you about it :o

Problems? What kind of problems? :shocked: I've oredered from them twice, and got my stuff in a week after it's been shipped (I've seriously expected to wait longer). All I could complain about is that they've been searching for 1 of my DVDs a little longer, but they found it :o

"This Is Love" will be on the radio starting from May 8th.

Well CDJapan is generally reliable though if you only order CDs, getting the CDs EMS are the same price at hmv (which I love). But I remember yesasia doing lots of dodgy things. I know some comics that are "backordered" and then you get an email saying that they can't get it anymore or something like that. And then Kattun's debut singles had their limited editions shoot up to more than twice the price due to their limited stock and "hey lets make more money". And amazon.jp was selling theirs RRP and had plenty in stock.

But I guess yesasia can be useful for some things. Though I wouldn't recommend always ordering from them.

Yesasia lowered Free Shipping threshold to $25 from May 2nd to June 30th, 2006. I guess I should buy some K-pop :o

yeah, i've had a radio rip for a couple days now, sounds really good. it reminded me of the exodus album too, but unlike most, i've always loved the exodus album.

hey you're one of the few person i've heard say that. i hated exodus when i first heard it but after a while it really grew on me and i loved a lot of the songs, esp kremlin dusk. they're different from hikki's usual stuff but not bad actually..

edit: but i still don't get how some of the lyrics could be so horrible. her japanese stuff are usually very poetic..
