The Universal Sigh Japanese edition (photos)
Here is a what the Japanese edition of The Universal Sigh looks like.
Here is some information on the newspaper:
-The JP newspaper DOES have a QR code. It’s in the cover page, bottom left. The code takes you directly to www.theuniversalsigh.jp
-On the lower right part of the cover, the password is written, as well as the names of the 2 Japanese translators.
-The newspaper IS REVERSED, in typical japanese fashion. Unlike the european versions, it flows from right to left.
The image text of the website has absolutely nothing special. It is the same thing as the English version…
The album will be released on april 6, newspaper released on april 9, in specially selected stores, for more details please visit this page soon…and of course, the disclaimer that this was a one-time event, newspaper is different from newspaper album, no radiohead performance,etc.
I searched to see if there was any secret, but nothing in it is different from the English version, except the release date, which was today.
If you go to the website, and you insert the password, you are taken to a Twitter login page.
After logging in, you will see a registration page.
First field is your e-mail address, second field is your Japanese address (written in Japanese, of course),
Third field is your twitter message to the world, forth is the confirmation button.
After filling it, you will appear on the map along with everyone else. I noticed that when I log off from Twitter, my map placement disappeared.
When you check your e-mail, you will have received a thank you message from Hostess Entertainment.
The mail says “thank you for registering, from now on any Radiohead-related information will be delivered here”.
The rest of the message is the standard fare “automated message, please do not reply, if you wish to unregister click here, privacy policy link”… and nothing more.
As for the “online events” thing, it is nothing more than the Twitter fan map. In japanese, the same word can be both plural or singular, so internet translators often mis-translate a singular word as a plural and vice-versa. As far as I know, there is no special online event besides this online map.
