As long as I can remember Amazon always ships book and Cd internationally.

Fire Emblem if OST, 134 tracks, 8 discs (7 CDs + 1 DVD), 6800 yen, out on April 27th
- Thread starter Netto-kun
- Start date
You can use something like the trial version of DVDFab to decrypt the DVD, and then you can rip it with Handbrake to keep it available after the trial runs out. I ordered the Fire Emblem 25th Anniversary Concert DVD from Amazon.co.jp and did that to watch it. Should work fine with this one, too, then.
Correct. The Amazon EU sites all work with the U.S. login, but the Amazon JP site requires a separate login.
Thanks!

Preordered my copy off Amazon Japan earlier this evening.
Can't wait for it to arrive!

amazon jp will automatically estimate your country tax during checkout, so no paying twice as much due to shitty shipping company/post office service fee due to custom handling
That's cool. I just ordered it just in case. Still pretty expensive with the import fees but if there's no surprise fees later on then I'm cool with it. Don't want to miss this one.
Ordered it with Pokémon Red/Green soundtrack. They come out on the same day.

I ordered my copy of this through Amazon.co.jp and this morning they sent me an e-mail concerning my order. I don't know Japanese so I ran it through Google translate. If I understand this correctly, it seems they just wanted to let me know that Amazon.co.jp now has a limited edition of the soundtrack. Google translate says the limited edition says it comes "with B6 size clear file".
Here's the original product page that was linked to earlier in this thread
This is the Amazon.co.jp's limited edition's page they referred me to
Could someone confirm this? What's the difference between the two? They cost the same.

Yeah, I'm not sure why they didn't just transfer us to the Limited Edition version. Went ahead and ordered the LE version, too. Will hold onto the original version until a clearer understanding of the Japanese is made, just in case. My interpretation is the same, though, that Amazon.co.jp is just telling us that a version with a preorder bonus is available for an item we already ordered.
Edit:
This is apparently the special LE cover that's only from Amazon for the soundtrack. Not sure what the notches are for at the right.

OK, thanks! I went ahead and switched over to the limited edition. I figured I might as well as it costs the same and it comes with a little something extra.
Edit: in case anybody else is wondering, the limited edition ships to the US too.
It's not a cover, it's a clear file. The notches are so you can easily open it to put papers, etc. inside.
Ordered however, thank you for the heads up! Fates' soundtrack is outstanding and the Azura file will look nice in my collection.
Ah, that makes sense. It's to hold standard B6 size papers, then. Kind of a strange preorder bonus, but what the hey. Thanks!
Nah, it's not strange, I've seen a ton of them.
Wow, this sucks. I ordered it with the Pokémon RBGY boxes, but now the Red one isn't available straight from Amazon. I can't cancel my current order and order everything again. They should've just upgraded our current orders.

Yeah, I got that email last night and cancelled my previous order to switch over to the one with the clear file bonus. Figured that since they cost the same, why not just get it.
Now comes the waiting.

Does it not let you cancel individual items from your order? I know Amazon US does. You shouldn't need to cancel everything.
I agree though, they should have just upgraded everybody's order. It's not like it cost more, came out later, didn't ship internationally, or anything else inconvenient.

Whats a clear file really used for? I ordered with CD Japan and I dont know if I should order through Amazon.co.jp instead.

I'm confuse, what happen? I ordered from Amazon the day it went up, but I'm hearing theirs a limited edition?
what comes with that?

I can cancel it individually, but they don't combine orders. So I'd have to pay for shipping and import fees twice.
I think I'll try contacting them and see what they say.

That's true, I hadn't thought of that. Depending on when the other items are released it might be possible for them to ship multiple orders all in one package. I don't know if this is true if you don't have Prime, but they will automatically combine my multiple US orders whenever possible. I just happened to have some stuff ordered and due to arrive the same day that my preordered Twilight Princess HD game was due to arrive and they just threw it all together in one shipment with no action from me. But then we're talking about an international order here so who knows.

Storing papers and stuff like that. Assuming you want it for collection purposes, you'd probably never use it for its intended purpose. I suppose you could frame it and put it on your wall instead (it'd be about letter-sized, so 8.5" x 11" or thereabouts). It's a first-press trinket, which tend to be small things like stickers and buttons, and unless you are a completionist you likely won't miss it.

Got the OST today. 黒き歌姫 is quite amazing but too bad it's only 1 minute long.

Got mine today - it arrived two days after shipping, goddamn. I've never gotten anything collector-ish from Amazon JP, and THAT is how you ship a delicate box, with the item suspended in tight plastic wrap. I was in awe. There may have been a choir of angels in the background. The shipping was so cheap, too. Ahhhhhh, so good.

Got mine from Amazon Japan as well. I forgot how small B5 paper is but the clear file is still awesome.
It's definitely a great set though I still am not a fan of how the CDs are stored in the case.
Best of all was using my Amazon Japan points to take off roughly $9 off the price.

Mine came without the file but I got the pins from Amazon. Crazy fast shipping. Faster than local Amazon lol.
Edit: was my mistake. I ordered the edition that didn't mention the file. :/ Smh

Ripping the set now, and the most amazing thing is that despite there apparently being only one listing on freedb, and despite the soundtrack ONLY being available as a seven-disc set, and not as a collection of individual albums, the metadata across discs is totally inconsistent.
At least someone took the time to do it, though. Copying and pasting seven discs' worth of track and artist names is not my idea of a good time.
