Fantome [Limited Vinyl Edition]Hikaru UtadaExcellent
When this album first made its debut on CD I wasn't super taken with many tracks, especially #4, which features Sheena Ringo, a singer I'm not personally a fan of. The entire album has greatly grown on me. I love it in fact. Even the aforementioned song featuring Sheena has grown on me quite a bit, but I do admit that it's still not my absolute favorite track on the album, but it is still nonetheless very enjoyable. The album also sounds even better on the Vinyl LP format. Hikaru's vocals are wonderful and I love her music, and beautiful, and at times, very fun lyrics. The packaging is silky very high quality thick cardboard. The center contains all lyrics very neatly laid out with a photo of the singer in a very beautiful haunting atmosphere. And as always, CDJAPAN's packaging for shipment and delivery was fantastic. Highly recommended!!

Super Takanaka Live! [Limited Release]Masayoshi TakanakaPerfection!!!
These colored Masayoshi Takanaka represses are perfection in every way, from the packaging, to the vinyl and sleeve presentation, to the absolutely gorgeous slightly transparent vibrant colored vinyl, to the completely faithful recreation of every detail of the original vinyls, including the OBI strips. I am incredibly pleased with CDJAPAN and the folks who did this repress run. 10/10!

Utau [Limited Release]Taeko Onuki & Ryuichi SakamotoPerfect album
This album is Ryuichi Sakamoto and his best friend Miaoko Otsuki, the only collaborative album, there are no other elements in the collection, only piano and vocals, but this forms an extremely quiet and comfortable environment, which I recommend here is summer color clothes, which fully shows the beauty of ancient Japan mourning, and people can't help but feel that time has passed.

"The Boy and The Heron (How Do You Live?) (Anime)" Original SoundtrackAnimation Soundtrack (Music by Joe Hisaishi)I was pleasantly surprised by The record
When the movie came out last year, I had already bought the soundtrack CD of How You Want to Live Your Life. This time, I bought LP and listened to the song "Real People's Determination". Hisaishi-sensei composed music for Studio Ghibli films, and he still has the same skills as he did back then. I don't know if the two teachers, Joe Hisaishi and Hayao Miyazaki, will be able to work together next time, so I will cherish this album very much. What a good movie and a good soundtrack!

Async [Limited Release]Ryuichi SakamotoGreat repress!
Music is awesome! I was so happy that Commmons would repress this and ship it overseas. Whilst I was not impressed with the poppies of the '12' release, I had to give this a shot. I was happy that it was not as 'poppy' and maintained the ambient quality of the intended sound. The packaging is beautiful and whilst I haven't heard the original pressing (as it was cut and pressed by another person/plant) this is a good pressing to have in your collection.

Utau [Limited Release]Taeko Onuki & Ryuichi SakamotoSublime audio
I was originally hesitant to order this as some of the recent vinyl pressings from Commmons has been noisy and scuffed. I was impressed by the sound quality. It is quiet and hardly any pops or cracks - sounds as it should! Although some of the discs were scuffed, there was no impact to the audio quality. For those who want to collect Sakamoto's older releases, this is a solid repress.

"The Boy and The Heron (How Do You Live?) (Anime)" Original SoundtrackAnimation Soundtrack (Music by Joe Hisaishi)Quiet and beautiful
I was impressed by the sound quality of this release. I was concerned about the quality right out of the packaging as I noticed scuffing and a piece of drilled out vinyl sitting on the playing surface on disc 2! I was concerned it scratched the disc creating pops, but thankfully it didn't! Hopefully no others have experienced this quality check fail. I'd recommend this release, the music from Joe Hisaishi is beautiful and transports you to a wonderful place.

Everything [Limited Release]Faye WongGreat release and includes poster!
Although the music here is dated, the pressing is done well and the packaging is amazing! I didn't expect that they would also include the original poster! The images were not poorly upscaled and the resolutions for the poster was spot on. I'm speechless.

Science Fiction [Limited Release]Hikaru UtadaUltimate Hikaru!
I have the CD release as well as this Vinyl release. The content is amazing and really captures the catalogue of Hikaru Utada. As for the vinyl, you will be impressed with the packaging. It mirrors the deluxe version with acetate case and premium card stock used to print the images and text. The vinyls are flat, and cleanish - I had no issues with cleaning them before playing them. I will say I was disappointed with obvious distortion (not IGD) beginning half-way through Disc 2 B4 and all of Disc 2 B5. Recommended for those who want to collect!

Pay Money to My Pain Vinyl COMPLETE BOX [Limited Release] [VAP STORE Limited]Pay Money to My Pain (P.T.P)A PTP fan's dream
After being a fan for several years, I always hoped that any, if not all of PTP's discography on vinyl format. When I found out that VAP was pressing PTP's four albums on vinyl, I was excited. I was originally gonna get the standard versions of their work until I saw that the boxset not only had color vinyl, but also the 3 EPS that the band did. Once it it arrived to me, the packaging was amazing. The boxset itself is one of my personal favorites designs for a boxset. Each album has a different color variant that correlates with the album artwork. The vinyl format for each album is has a very solid design from front to back and the inside images of each gatefold. The only nit-pick is that I wish that both "gene" and "Pay Money To My Pain Singles Collection" vinyl had a etch or laser design on the d sides. Overall if you are a fan of PTP, you need to get this if you want the full discography. It comes with a beanie for flipsakes
