I dunno, I can't read kanji. But, Japan is still really cool.

Guys this is definitely official since all major japanese record shops are announcing the release date.
It better be cos I just pre-ordered it through HMV Japan.

***crying and dancing in joy***

I didn't know about this til VeraLynn told me on NIN chatroom yesterday.
(I love you Vera)
March 29th is the day. CAN'T WAIT!

I wonder if there are going to be plans for an HD or Blu-ray release of Closure.....

I wonder if it'll have any japan-only bonus material.

I checked HMV's and Tower Records' site, but neither of them mentions about it. They just say 'There may be some additional footage'.
I don't think they mean this as japan-only bonus.

Yea, I think they're all supposed to have additional footage.

could "additional footage" mean every video from the fragile and with teeth? and tour footage from Live: With Teeth 2005?

This has been discussed ad nauseum in other threads in this forum, and nobody knows for sure, but I think the general consensus was that it would be logical to only include additional footage relative to the Self-Destruct Tour (i.e. up to TDS and NOT after).

In other words, it's logical for "extra footage" to NOT include "future" (The Fragile, etc.) songs and/or footage relative to the Self-Destruct Tour, since the Closure video/DVD is something of a pseudo-documentary/retrospect of the Self-Destruct Tour, which includes NIN material UP TO that point. Make sense?

The videos from The Fragile and forward are more related to the post-TDS period, the Fragility Tours / AATCHB, and any future With_Teeth tour footage.

HOORAY!!!!

No more damn VHS. I cannot wait. I wonder if it'll be leaked on to the internet??? Or if someone will steal it from Trent's glove box???

Then we'd have another Broken on our hands.

did they start making those already? isn't blue-ray like über protected(not that i know how to rip stuff and would have any purpose to do it but some ppl tend to do)? watching this shit with that quality would be awesome. 1080 verticals...

i severely doubt the validity of the march release date.

but we'll find out soon enough...

So do I.
It would be nice, though....

Besides, wouldn't there be region problems witht he japanese version?

not really.. there are plenty of ways to get around that. but i'm assuming the US and Japan release dates are going to be within a few days of each other, and the lack of any source for a US date (other than December 31st 200X) is what makes me doubt the validity of the japanese one...

it would be very unlikely. first off, the original footage isn't good enough to put on such a high definition media, it would be overkill. second, i don't think interscope is going to jump at such an experimental format yet, they'll let the movie studios fight it out as to which format will prevail.

I just received a mail from HMV Japan's customer centre regarding the release date.
It's postponed for a month and the new release date is April 26th.

Grrrr, I knew it!

And so it begins. Or continues. Or whatever. No closure, again.

this is all really, really shocking. oh well, i'm sure it will definitely come out on april 26. for real this time. come on, guys, let's all get our hopes up!

Because we know how reliable NIN release dates are...
