I hope that's true, because I preordered Silver Wilkinson a couple weeks ago, and I've yet to get any email in regards to some pre-order download.
The number of days early that you receive your digital download of Silver Wilkinson might be a good indicator as to how early we get our download of Tomorrow's Harvest. Keep us in the loop.
I may just go to pick up my pre order on the morning of the 5th, even though doing so would require me to come home on the 4th, pick it up at 10am and get train straight to work and a 4 hour journey in total. ¥3500 unnecessarily spent but I want the 5 day jump on all of you!
The albums with bonus tracks in Japan were usually release by Beat Records.
The japanese amazon and hmv.co.jp now list a TH issued by Beat Records, but without any additional songs.
I guess, that means there won't be any. So it's time to visit bleep I think

Interesting. The site loaded for me ok but it would not accept my password. I will have to use a proxy when I get back to my proper computer.
THANKS!
Sorry, I checked properly and you don't need a proxy but will need to create an account for amazon JP I'm guessing. The CD can be express posted OS, though I had mine sent to a Japanese address.
The existence of a Japanese bonus track for The Campfire Headphase came to light on this forum a month before the release date, a good bit after the original album announcement: http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=167
Joyrex or Fredd-E should know if a Japanese bonus track exists? It seems they had heard TCH (along with Japanese bonus track in Joyrex's case at least) before TCH leaked (which happened four weeks before TCH release).
Also you can order the Japanese CD direct from Beat Records, worked out cheaper than Amazon and they ship internationally.

Will the version on amazon.jp definitely be the Beat Records version?
Yes of course, unless it's a fake, which it isn't. You see a record being released on a sister label like Beat is done under strict conditions, not just any record label can do this They would find it hard to get a copy of the music to start with!

I just thought that, for all I know, it could say [import] next to it in japanese (which I can't read) and just end up being the same version we get. Thanks for clearing that up. It looks as though the Japanese version is unlikely to have any bonus material though so I think I'm just going to wait and see before I buy.

I think the only reason they usually put bonus tracks on the Japanese releases is so that they are less likely to import (which is cheaper for them) and more likely to buy locally (which is more expensive).
I think the only bonus they have given the Japanese on this release is an earlier release date to encourage them to buy from local record shops. I doubt there is going to be a bonus track.

wow well aren't you so unnecessarily competitive
Wow... jealous?
if you're in Japan, great, but I have a feeling that a lot of people who preordered it will be grabbing the Japanese version online on the 5th while they wait for the 10th to come. It's really in Warp's best interest to give everyone their digital download that day since everyone will be able to hear it on the 5th if they really want to.
The whole concept of wildly different release dates in 2013 is a strange one. I understand a day apart (Monday or Tuesday, depending on your country) but being days apart makes no sense anymore.
They would find it hard to get a copy of the music to start with!
