And Of Course, We Get The Short End Of The Stick...


Ok, I have a few questions. First, a while back, I saw on Amazon that there would be a domestic release of Good Dreams for $14.99. But then that disappeared from the site, and was replaced by Penalty Life. What happened? Were they actually planning on releasing it, or was that a mistake?
Next, are there any plans of releasing more U.S. albums?
And finally, is CD Japan the cheapest place I'm gonna find their other CDs? I'm still scouring the net, but everything's so expensive for my small budget...

Actually Geneon, the domestic distributor screwed up. THEY got Penalty Life confused with Good Dreams therefore most of the sites selling it also didn't have the right information. It kind of pisses me off a bit. You would think that Geneon would have done better research considering they are the ones lucky enough to get the rights to manufacture and distribute Pillows albums here in America.

Thanks. I saw Good Dreams on BestBuy.com for $12.99, and I was going to order it, but I'm glad I didn't. I probably would've gotten another Penalty Life.

Yup, you probably would have. I have yet to see the real Good Dreams for less than 25-30 bucks. However, I would assume that if PL sells well, Geneon will also distrubute a domestic version of Good Dreams. If they do, let's just hope they get it right this time.

According to the Anime Insider interview, it seems that Geneon is interested in releasing more pillows albums over here. So I wouldn't be surprised if Good Dreams and other newer albums are eventually released domestically.

For now, eBay's probably the best bet.

No no no, I checked ebay. The only thing they have are the Japan versions for a lot of money. Get it at Amazon.com.

Well, right now, there's nothing. But you never know when someone who doesn't know what they have will put a CD on there for $10 assuming it's just another CD.
