Ideas are bulletproof.

Yes, I know I'm late by 7 days.
But is it still possible? Links would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I Love YUI

Is the limited edition of YUI's fourth studio album (and fifth album overall) her third limited edition album? I'm assuming you mean HITS.

If you only are looking for the content, there will almost certainly be Hong Kong and Korean versions available....then there's only the issue of getting your DVD player to play content from a different zone.

If you're wanting the actual Japanese release, it won't be easy, but I think it is possible.

I suspect that all of the usual online sources are long ago sold out, so the way most of us here get our CDs is too late. However, you may find a more obscure online site that may have it. Be careful here, as some online sites will show the item in inventory when they can't actually get it. (Some sites don't really carry inventory but rather work as a second level sales network that is really selling off of another source's inventory. These guys don't keep good up-to-date inventory data, and may show a sold-out item as available. I gave somebody here some bad advice once because I didn't understand that at the time. I ordered two extra copies from the site and wasn't informed for about two months that I would never be receiving the order.....they got a rather angry email from me)

The best way would be to try physical stores. Remember that they didn't start selling ahead of time, (although they may have taken pre-orders from their customers as well) so if you have access to Japanese music stores (have a friend there?) there are probably smaller out-of-the-way stores that haven't sold out yet.

In other countries you could try the international districts of larger metro areas, looking for any store (not just Japanese) that imports asian music. In the US these metro areas are likely to be mostly on the east and west coasts plus Chicago, although you may find them in central cities like Dallas, Houston, Denver, St. Louis etc., as well. In Canada it would be Toronto and Vancouver. I'm certain that most of the larger cities in western europe have their equivalent areas and in Brazil I'm sure you would find these stores in Sao Paulo with its enormous asian population....not so sure about places like Rio, Curitiba, PA or BH. I vaguely recall a member here mentioning finding a limited edition in a Seattle store, which he bought not even knowing who YUI was, long after the album was considered totally unavailable....so it's possible.

I've also heard of buying services that may be able to source unusual items for you, but expect to pay a large premium for the service. I've never used one, so can't direct you to them.

The other two ways are auction sites and friends. There are always people who will buy these, knowing they will become valuable, who will then try to profit by selling them on ebay or yahooJapan....expect to pay a premium. And some fans will buy extras, so that they can open one and keep one sealed. Every once in a while these people, for whatever reason, decide to sell these. They'll often announce it here....come here often and keep your eyes open, and you'll see them....again, expect to pay a premium.

Good luck in your search.
