Well, as the topic goes. For those who are waiting (*wink* *wink* Reset-sama~) It's finally here.

You can now buy the DVD with English and Chinese subtitles online. This is the Hong Kong version, I just ordered mine, So I do not have much info on it. I'll give a complete review when I received mine. But that'll take some time cos since I'm not in a rush (I already have the Singaporean release) I picked economic shipping... I'm getting broke...

So, let's cut the chatters and show the link:


Midnight Sun (taiyonouta) on HMV.com.hk

The cover does look a fair bit more appealing than our Singaporean version one, haha. On second thoughts, it's got too much of Tsukamoto on the front cover.

Anyway, how does did you pay for the shipping?

I paid HK$39 for the shipping.... Hee... So summed up, the price is still okay... HK$128 about SGD$25

flare... does the hk version has any premiums or freebies? :unsure:

Hmmm I don't know yet... Have to wait till I receive the DVD, I'll do an update then.

how much all in all (plus shipping) in US$?

omg i want to cry... i really want to cry... eng sub at last... omg omg omg... i want to cry... :clap :shock :lalala :toast

Assuming we use the cheapest shipping option, Standard International Airmail, which the shipping would cost HK$39 regardless of where in the world it's ship to. But God knows how long that'll take, and there's no tracking.

The DVD cost HK$89. So the total would be HK$128. Same as my order.

And that conversts to (drum roll)
.

about US$16.36.

Hahah, Yeah, DVDs are pretty affordable in this part of the world.

Hiks, i wanna get one too.
Though i see the movie from downloading.

price in US ain't so bad after all. does this edition have special features? like a 2nd disc maybe?

Woo...thanks for informing, I've been waiting for HK release! :lol: I shall ask my HK colleague help me buy... :green

i've seen a korean version on yesasia with english subs. could it be better than the HK one in terms of extras? just curious..

yes i'ma buy it...!!!

here's my chance...

Flare- did you receive your copy already? how was it?

hey flare so what happened? were there behind the scenes??? anything special?... pls reply ASAP... :)

ASAP indeed ^^; need to know if the subs are ok and whatnot

Flare... pliz give us the dvd review if u already receive yours coz i decided to buy it too..... =)

and btw, is it true that YUI will never star in any film / drama anymore?
coz i heard someone said so...

Who said so? :blink:

only have the movie :(

I've only got the movie as well...however it looks very different to reset's. When I have the time, I'll SS the menu. I'm not sure whether its my DVD Player or the DVD itself, but at times during the first half of the movie, it would skip half a second. It's nothing major, and its still playable, which is the main thing. ^__^

??? Who said it???

I only heard that YUI will focus more on music cos thats still her main interest...

how are the subs and features?

Reset, you bought it too? you must have a lot of money...

that sucks, only the movie? i wanna see the deleted scenes and the making

actually i heard it from someone in a local forum...
he said that YUI had an interview with MTV not long after Taiyou no Uta was released..
and in the interview YUI said that her chance starring in any movie or drama is almost less than 1%... :(
coz she want to focus on music more than anything...

if its true then i guess we should get taiyou no uta dvd
coz it would be a precious collection in the future... :D

Hahaha... If anyone actually looked, I was having computer problems, I just managed to bang it back together.

Edit:
Okay, here are the pictures:

more updates later

Another update:


As Reset-sama had shown, the DVD menu.
The only 'extra' was the movie trailer


Audio and subtitle options available


Sample of how the subtitles looks on Windows Media Player


The subtitles are pretty decent, no typo or spelling mistakes like the Singaporean version. Yes... "My favourite Banna is food" is a correct translation of "suki wa banana tabe-mono desu"

(Please ignore the weird artifacts in the 2 subtitle samples, they are actually photos taken with a camera of my screen. I gave up looking for a screen capture too that does directX objects properly and VLC's screen caps doesn't have subtitles)

PowerDVD can do screen cap ;)

I just checked Yes-asia, I only saw the Hong Kong and Japanese version... Do you have a link of the Korean version?
*rub hands* *rub rub* *evil laughter*

Arg, I'm so gonna shoot myself... I had a fresh install of my OS on a new HDD and I never bothered to install PowerDVD... But the version I have is from almost 6 years back...

Media Player Classic an also do screencaps ... with the subtitles also, if present and turned on.

Hahah I don't know what's the screen cap hotkey in media player classic.... :huhuhu

^ Ctrl-I ... or simply pause the video, and then go File-> Save Image.

BTW, to save screen caps in Media Player Classic, you must NOT have "Overlay Mixer" selected, under Options - Playback-> Output -> DirectShow Video

here's the link for the korean version:

Hi guys!

Yeah on yesasia i saw the japanese version, the korean and the hong kong one!
I ordered the hong kong version last week end cause it was cheap!lol Something like 10 euros (15 dollars?)

Ok with that i also preordered the single "my generation" and i ordered the collector poster of the second album!lol I couldn't resist and i can't wait to receive my items and finally see Tayou no uta with the english subtitles!lol

hey!!! imaa off topic here but what does the

YUI blah blah KAY mean in the credits of taiyou no uta

i watched the whole credits and it actually appeared twice... don't understand jap so i hope someone can answer me...

Hmmmm... I think I'm like collecting all the English subbed Taiyonouta... I ordered the Korean Premium edition too... I'll give an update when I receive it (free shipping, slow slow)

Flare... u really collect a lot of Taiyou no Uta related things.. :o

And you have to sell your extra copy of TYNU japanese Premium edition to Fanny instead of me... *sob* cannot complete my DVD collection liao...

I think we should setup a Yui-lovers fan base at Flare's place where Flare can display his entire Yui collection as well. hehe

^oh that is a possibility ;). and hahaa flare, sorry, but i got the missing piece in your taiyou no uta collection XD. thanks helixius :P
