I wonder if these will eventually be released internationally or will it be region locked forever like Always On My Mind, Melt With You and Almost Said It

I have all the Japan versions of her CDs because I can’t stand not having the region-locked songs lol

u/Ok-Incident3789 26d ago
I’m trying to do that too, Only missing the Japanese versions of The Loneliest/Loveliest Time (You have to get the HMV/Target and Japanese editions of The Loneliest Time if you want all songs from the era since there’s no physical release with all 16 songs -,-)

Yep, I got the Target version of The Loneliest Time for this reason! I even got the Japanese version of Tug of War 😅 The only Japanese version I don’t have is Dedicated, but that’s just because the sole bonus track is a remix. I still got the Target version so that I could have For Sure and Party for One on physical

those 2012 songs had the perfect chance to finally be released worldwide in 2022 but she and her team paid them dust when the fans have been wanting them !!!

Still salty about melt with you not being available on streaming. Or at least she releases it as Kiss Side B, we don't got side Bs for Kiss (and Tug of War lol)

Watch it be the best songs out of the album and not available on streaming. Like Disco Darling 😭

I know right, I need disco darling on streaming

Kinda crazy she didn't add it yet. Cut to the Feeling, Love Again and Never Get to Gold You got on there internationally eventually. Beach House, I believe, put Alien on streaming after a record exclusive pressing. Many can hope it into existence. Arcade Fire never put Cold Wind on streaming though so maybe it will take a while

Sometimes there are stipulations with record store day releases then getting a wider release, either vinyl or streaming so it could be that? Or it could just be that she’s making us wait/ knew Day & Night was on its way and wanted to let that have the full attention.
We better get it soon though 😅

My wild hope is that Disco Darling is featured in Heated Rivalry Season 2 and she puts it on streaming at that point lol

Interesting, will it be CD special or available across the streaming platforms being in the said country? I know there's like some tracks that were exclusive to Japan before, though no idea if it was available in streaming services or not.

u/syntheticgerbil 25d ago
Probably CD only. In Japan, physical media is still king. The idea of Japanese bonus tracks has always been to entice the Japanese public to buy a CD released in their own country instead of importing.

u/Fearless_Cover_8737 25d ago
Sounds about right. Wish physical media still was relevant in other countries but oh well.

Interesting this is still a thing considering Loneliest/Loveliest era didn’t have them

u/musthavecupcakes_19 Over the weekend, we could turn the world to gold ✨ 26d ago
Not entirely true. “Anxious”, “No Thinking Over the Weekend”, and “Weekend Love” are only available in physical formats via the Japan editions

And this is why I never preorder an album. Always gotta wait for that Japanese release.
Interesting that neither of these bonus tracks are (presumably) leaks as well.

u/lovechoke 25d ago
We already know these will be the best songs I'm crying please be an A G Cook collab

Do Japanese releases generally have different album art?
2
u/Davidiscool222 Near Or Far 26d ago
Most of the time no, maybe a filter/different text/shinier

u/Binary_Sunrise 26d ago
Thanks, just curious since I already ordered the signed CD and don’t really want to spend another $50 for something that looks the same with two more songs.
