[quote="Kem"]I don't think it matters where you get it from. I just switched because I like YesAsia better and it was slightly cheaper.[/quote]
(well, CDJapan is quite expensive, but you [almost] always get the preorder bonus [posters, postcards, etc...] when preordering there and you're sure your package will be shipped in time and not be damaged :)

Import magazines are ridiculously expensive. It really sucks and the magazines Maaya's in are really hard to get hold of except on Yahoo Auctions Japan...and do they ship worldwide???

Actually, a lot of Japanese magazines have their own websites now, and you can find informations about what and who is going to appear in their upcoming numbers there^^

Maaya often appears in those magazines : "Seiyuu Grand Prix" (???????), "hm3 SPECIAL", "Animedia" (??????), "Newtype", "Animage" (??????), "Zappy" (????)... among others^^ So, just check those websites for news ^_~

In memory I think it was 30 euros because it was special edition, beautiful big magazines !

You ask what you want, and they buy it for you directly in Japan

Lots of special news ^^ the names of the composers, writers and arrangers are out for the tracks we know i.e. Fuyu Desu Ka? they're up here (adapted from my website's news section) dozo:

http://www.cdjournal.com/main/news/news.php?nno=9672

HONEY COME - lyrics: Takahashi Hamasaki h-wonder

Wakaba - lyrics: Maaya Sakamoto composition:Shuumizu arrangement: Ryo Nakanishi

HELLO - lyrics: Maaya Sakamoto music: Shusui/Robin Fredrikson/Ola Larsson/Fredrik Hult arrangement: Ryo Nakanishi

My Favourite Books - lyrics: h's music: ???

Tsuki to Hashirinagara - lyrics: Takahashi Hamasaki music: Takahashi Hamasaki

Fuyu Desu Ka - lyrics: Maaya Sakamoto music: h-wonder

An album with "natural vocals" (this might be a mistake in my translation though). It says that this new album is a parting with Yoko Kanno who has nurtered her talent so far, and is the opening of a new chapter of Maaya's career.

It seems to mention a theme in Maaya's new album, but I don't understand it ^^;; sorry! I think I've given you enough to get your imaginations going though ^^

The names were difficult so they may be mistaken...

Uuh, 3 lyrics written by Maaya!
The Hello song seems like a cover to me, with all those names for the music.
So, for composers, we have H-Wonder, Ryo Nakanishi and Takashi Hamasaki... *google*
