The new single and the re-releases are releasing under King Records (so it says on Yesasia). Does it mean they are leaving PSC and signed with King Records?
No, they aren't leaving PSC. XD King Records their new distributor. ^^
PSC's old distributor was Free-will, but PSC left Free-will. ^^; (For awhile, PSC was on Free-will's mobile network too(for viewing on cellphone), but since they left, they are no longer are on it.)
For the few releases that came after PSC left Free-will, I have no idea who distributed them. ^^; (Don't really care either.

does anyone have experience ordering stuff from cdjapan or third stage or sumwhere??
any recommendations?
Once again, I'll just reuse the same thing I wrote, that I always copy&paste.

But before that, my recommendations:
Thirdstage is my top choice for indies and visual CDs. It's the place I would order from first.
Cdjapan is my first choice for major CDs. Both have really good service and really good packaging.
Anyways, please read the following, it has many places where you can order from. ^O^
QUOTE
Thirdstage is my recommended place to order from: They accept 2 forms of payment. International Postal Money Order(IMPO), which you buy at the post office, or cash in Yen. The shop is located in Meguro, Japan, so the shipping&handling isn't cheap. But they have an online order form so you don't have to e-mail them to order. ^^ They normally also include flyers with your orders. Their privileges tend to be comment cds, autographs (sometimes they're just printed though), comment papers, and posters.
http://www.mandrakeroot.co.jp/english/Brand-X is where many foreigners like to order from. It's a Japanese indies shop located in Ikebukuro, Japan. Shipping& handing is similiar to Thirdstage and they only accept International Postal Money Order(IMPO), or cash in Yen. To order from them, you must e-mail the webmaster (in gramatically correct
English), webmaster@brand-x-net.com, and have them check the stock. Then you will recieve an e-mail with the total cost and where to send payment to. They have a pretty good privileges (like posters, postcards, etc), but sometimes the privileges are "instore-events," so it's not very good if you don't live in Japan.
http://www.brand-x-net.com/Guruguru also sends overseas. They state they accept cash in Yen, but you could probably e-mail them and ask if they accept IPMO. They're a shop located in Sapporo, Japan. There are privileges for a small selection of cds.
http://www.guruguru.co.jpHMV Japan also carries some indies cds. Shipping rates are
outrageously expensive. (Okay, it's not
that expensive, but it's quite a bit.) But unlike all the indies shops, they accept credit card orders.
http://www.hmv.co.jpCdjapan would be your best choice for major cds. Shipping&handling is expensive, but not as expensive as indies shops. They accept credit cards, IMPO, and cash(USD or Yen). If there is a privilege and you ordered in time to get first press,
you will get your privilege.
http://www.cdjapan.co.jpAmazon.co.jp carries quite a large selection of indies cds. Shipping from Japan is expensive as usual. (Not everything is in English though, but it is good enough to get by.) ) They accept credit cards.
http://www.amazon.co.jpYesasia carries some visual indies cds. They normally go out of stock really fast, since people seem to like ordering from them. They're known for jacking privileges or charging extra for them.
http://www.yesasia.comJpophouse sells some visual cds. Shipping is pretty cheap since they are located in the US.
http://www.jpophouse.comJ-XYZ carries some magazines, cds, and band goods. There are good reviews and bad reviews about them.
http://www.j-xyz.comAlso, depending on what band's cd you want, you can buy the CDs directly from the band. E-mail politely in gramatically correct English (Japanese is best though, but if you don't know it, use English) and ask if they do oversea mail-order. If they ignore you, then obviously they aren't willing to sell to you. ^^; Bands do charge less for shipping (they use normal air mail) and they don't normally have a handling charge. (Some do though, but it's not a lot.) But, many bands now don't do mail-order at all.
*edit* Opps, Izam beat me. :x! I write too slow. x_X
