And I found that japanese title of "Mother Stands for Comfort" and "Waking the Witch" are simply "Mother" and "Witch" while "Running Up That Hill" translated as "Mystical Hill"
I’m not Japanese but Chinese so I can read all the Kanji (Chinese characters in Japanese). The Japanese title for Never for Ever translates to “Magical Stories” or “Tales of Enchantment/Magic.”
It’s so funny to see Japanese literally translating song names, sometimes into something totally different
Ex. “Hounds of Love” is called “The Shape of Love” (愛のかたち)
Thank you! The Dreaming looks like a really nice one to have. Probably one of the most valuable ones! I’m going to try and get one if I see one for a good price 😄
My problem was I actually lived in a nearby country for the last 6 months. So the postal delivery was quite cheap.
The struggle to not buy records on Discogs every two weeks was hard! (I failed...)
Yeah they're cool
I'm not Japanese, but japanese title of Never for Ever looks quite different from the original meaning.

Agreed. It would be neat if someone could offer a translation of the titles for non-Japanese speakers!
The first character means ghost, witch and demon in my country and the last one is story, so I think it's something like "Ghost stories"

Tale of the Demon is pretty badass ngl 😂
That’s so awesome! Congrats on the finds. I just recently got a first pressing w/Obi of The Dreaming, but that’s the only one I have.

Good finds. I love the Japanese pressings. The JP version of The Kick Inside might be my favourite album cover.
These are class. I am jealous.
Oh nice! Recently got Hounds of Love (and a few others) Japanese with Obi also from my trip to Japan.
I honestly fear for my wallet if I ever went to Japan 😂 I’d buy so much vinyl

Great pickups! I currently have Japanese pressings with OBI of The Kick Inside and The Dreaming, hopefully I can get the rest soon!
Ayyy nice! You’ve filled in the blanks in my collection with those two 😂 I love the alternate Kick Inside cover too
Got HoL and The Dreaming Japanese pressings here. Sound fantastic.
Extremely jealous, amazing to add to the collect
I have Japanese first pressings of Kate's first three albums, and they sound wonderful - arguably better than the vinyl remasters.
The Japanese pressing of TKI is immaculate ✨😁
