  1. Hi all.

    Well, the DVD (Planets) and the CD (NHK) arrived today, 09-Apr-03.
    Although released on 29-Mar-03, they did not ship from Amazon JP till
    03-Apr-03.
    I have just finished listening to the Planets DVD, and am now listening to
    the NHK CD as I write.

    Tomita The Planets 2003 DVD Audio
    ---------------------------------
    Well, I am pleased to say, that this is the original recording, remixed to
    4.1.

    The sound balance seems to favour a central listening position, with the
    listener placed an equal distance from all four speakers, a little different
    to the usual home cinema type setup, with two speakers at the front, and the
    other two surround speakers either to the side or near rear. There is some
    use of the sub-channel, and its nicely done (ie not overdone). There were
    some parts of the recording that sounded 'new' or different. I dont know
    whethter or not they have been added for this release, or just mixed more to
    the foreground. For example, on Mars when the base rhythmn comes in, there
    is a distinct 'snare' drum type sound, very much in the forground, which I
    didnt hear in the old recordings. The drum bounces round all the channels.
    Another 'new' sound, which I found a little irritating actually, was a very
    apparent and very forward (too forward?) in the mix of Jupiter. It was
    slightly dissonant, and was present during the build up of the grand jupiter
    theme. To my mind, it messed with the glorious melody, with that big 'choral
    chorus sound' that I have been so used to hearing. On the whole though, I
    enjoyed the new way of hearing this album. The sounds are very distinct and
    its easy to pick individual sounds out in the mix.

    There is video information also, but basically static slides. There is a
    menu, with a nice space background, from which you can select tracks. As
    each track plays, another slide is presented with the name of that track.
    The on screen displays are all in Janapense and English. The video component
    is in NTSC, and the disc appears to be coded as region 2. My DVD plays all
    regions automatically, so this was not an issue for me.

    There are two audio tracks, a dolby digital 4.1, which is what I lsitened
    to, and a LPCM(MLP) 4.1 96kHz 24bit track, which my player doesn't do.

    The DVD comes in a CD like package, but its a little different to a regular
    CD pack, and quite nice to hold. The edges are slightly rounded off. Nice
    artwork on the cover.

    Overall, fantastic. The sound is very clear and crisp. The little bell chime
    sounds on Uranus and at the begining of Mars that echo the Jupiter theme are
    clear and beautiful. The 'female' vocal on Venus is just stunning, just
    floating there in mid air. You can even hear a 'breath' sound that mimics a
    singer brathing in before singing. :)

    Tomita on NHK
    -------------
    This seems to be a collection of themes Tomita has done for various shows. A
    mixture of orchestral and sammler ensembles. A joy to listen to. There are
    35 tracks on this CD ranging in lenghth from only 20 seconds through to
    about 4 minutes. The recordings date from between 1956 and 2003. A great
    collectors item. The audio quality of all the tracks is excellent and clear,
    even the older ones from the 60's, so possibly have been remastered, or at
    least taken from a quality master source. There are some beautiful and
    lyrical tracks on this CD, and some quite amusing ones also. When is the
    60's Kimba underscore going to be made available again...

    The booklets on both discs are all in Japanese, so I'll have to wait for my
    brother to come over to get a proper translation. From what I can make out
    the DVD booklet has a section talking about the Planets, another section
    where someone is writing about Tomita, and a section where Tomita is talking
    about the 4.1 surround mix. Both discs have a short bio on Tomita by the
    record label. The discs are on the Denon label and are manufactured by
    Columbia in Japan. Curiously, both discs have another date on them apart
    from 03.3.29, and that is 04.3.28. I have no idea what that is for.

    So, of course now, I am wanting more. My two favourite tomita albums,
    'Pictures' and 'Firebird' would be lovely in surround, oh and 'Bermuda
    Triangle', and ...

    Thanks for the review Lance. I look foward to ordering this disc. You say
    you bought it from amazon.jp? How does one pay for things there, with paypal?
    Thanks for any help.

    BTW, I got my Dark Side of the Moon SACD in the mail yesterday, but haven't
    listened to it yet. Thanks to Ben for the heads up on that one. It should be
    a great listen in surround. I wonder if amazon thought this was "just another
    CD" and if the $13.50 was a mistake in pricing?

    I've never heard that happening on any other CD I've come across.

    Every time I've seen one of those future dates its always the date when
    CD rental is allowed. CD rental is legal in Japan but is also strictly
    controlled.

    Does it actually say that translated or are you just guessing. This sort
    of thing is not normal at all. I'm not completely doubting you but I've
    never come across that.

    The only logical explanation would be the rights are bing sold to
    someone else.

    Now we all know the Bandai "Jungle Taitai" box was pulled intentionally
    from release because of a legal settlement, but this is a case when its
    a release Tomita fully acknowleges.

    In the past I've never seen anything where the rights were transfered
    normally get actually pulled from the shelves, what only happens is the
    label stops shipping any, but see below- I think thats becomming more
    and more the norm rather than retaining back catalog anyway.

    All the limited releases I've ever seen just come on the market and all
    get shipped out as soon as they get released, so I guess unless you
    pre-order your local shop can't get another once any they bought are
    gone.

    As you probably know that sort of thing is a scheme with Disney movies,
    but even that is a weird market manipulation having a lot to do with
    Disney being in a unique position that their old films make good money
    when re-released in theaters and the execs are firm believers that
    every 7 years you have a new "generation" of children who haven't seen
    what was released 7 years ago.

    What is normal though is a lot of CDs these days have almost all their
    sales right away, I think labels are basicly doing away with back
    catalog as too much of a hassle, they'd rather reissue more frequently
    as manufacture and pricing is set up so they can turn a profit with
    rather small release quantities as the norm. I theorize its also
    "training" the public to get things they might want right away, not
    waiting a while - you can see evidence in the frequent use of special
    initial packaging, though as far as I know Tomita has never done that yet.

    The strategy might be to slip a lot of these compatible discs into the
    market because people will be curious and want to get the gear to hear
    them, something certainly Americans are not doing in big numbers. I had
    originally heard the ultimate goal was to have all CDs be SACDs and have
    the compatibility layer so eventually all releases would just have an
    SACD release that was compatible. Of course as one may have heard, Sony
    Music Entertainment Japan quickly released a lot of SACD releases with
    no compatibility layer presumably because they were easier to
    manufacture very quickly spoiling the intent to have all SACDs CD compatible.

    So Lance, about the NHK disc, were you sure they are the original
    recordings? Are the early ones in mono? All my other mid 60s Tomita
    soundtracks are all mono, though I have heard other composers work from
    the period in stereo when it was made especially for album release
    (Symphonic Poem just mentioned). I just remember "Shin-Nihon-Kikou" was
    all newly recorded.

    Well, I guess you're right and what I observed was just a coincidental
    pattern based on the CDs I have.

    AFAICT, what I said about the Symphonic Poem being unvailable now is true.
    I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

    Just a regular credit card. You have to try and read between the lines on
    the web site to get a handle on where to click, but eventually, during the
    account setup/checkout process, you get to a point where you can select to
    do things in English. I had to create a new account, which was interesting,
    since I did not have to do this on Amazon FR (France), it already knew my
    details from the US site.

    kimbawlion at aol.com covered dealing with Amazon JP pretty well in his message
    of 3-Apr-03:

    I missed mentioning that in the review. The tracks are a mixture of mon and
    stereo, so I'd say original recordings.
    It is quite obvious which are the older recordings, because the sound is
    different.
    Older technology mics, studio environs, or more compressed or not so
    dynamic' or transparent sound.
    My point in the review was that despite these conditions, the old recordings
    show up quite well.

    BTW, catalogue numbers are as follows:
    Tomita on NHK: DENON COCQ-83613
    Tomita The Planets 2003: DENON COAQ-15

    I will upload scans of the back of both discs to the files section.

    I just ordered the new Planets yesterday so I should be getting
    it soon (I hope).
    Ordering through the japanese amazon is pretty straightforward
    and mostly in English.
    I immediately got an answer back when I finished the order
    but today I got another mail but I've got no clue what it
    says. It's all japanese although I haven't got japanese
    installed in my Outlook. :)
    Lance, did you also got a 2nd mail from Amazon?
    I'm looking forward to the DVD. I'll give a review as soon
    as I've heard it (my DVDA player is capable of playing the
    MLP tracks).

  8. Hi Marcel,

    The second email, is probably the shipping confirmation. The first would
    have been the order confirmation.

    For me, these events were a couple of days apart, i ordered on the 26th, the
    items shipped on the 4th, but since the items are now in stock, i would
    imagine for you the first would have the order confirmation, and the second
    soon after, the shipping confirmation.

  9. Hi Lance,

    I also suspected that it's a shipping confirmation.
    I've pasted the text into the browser but it couldn't
    make anything readible (it wasn't exactly japanese text
    in my mail).
    Anyway I'm sure it will be okay.

    You can return to the Your Account section of amazon.co.jp and check on your
    order status, in English. In my case, I got those all-Japanese emails and it
    turned out they had a glitch processing my credit card--for some reason, the
    expiration date came up as wrong even though it was entered correctly. I had
    to then enter a wrong expiration date, allow that one to be rejected, and
    then go back and re-enter the correct expiration date. Then they shipped.

  11. Ah yes of course, why didn't I think of that. :)
    I see on the Account page that it has been shipped and
    should be here in a few days.

    That's great to hear Marcel. I got my second email from Amazon.jp
    yesterday. One of the few things I can read is:

    DHL WorldMail (3~4ÂTŠÔ)

    So I guess mine is on the way!
