DVD

In some regions, a bonus DVD will be available. It will include:

  • All About Us (uncensored video)
  • A "making of" of All About Us.
  • "Loves Me Not" broken into different parts (vocals, music etc.) to make remixes

The version which comes with the DVD, also includes a poster, and sheet music (guitar/piano) for Gomenasai.

Songs Around the World

The release of the first single from the album, "All About Us" is set to be released in an interesting way. The song will be released in Japan on September 1, while the rest of the world must wait until the middle of September. This is interesting because neither their home land of Russia, nor their other biggest markets, the United States or the United Kingdom get it first.

On the Japanese release, there will be three bonus tracks: "Vsyo Moya Lyubov", translated into "All My Love", "Divine", and "Lyudi Invalidy," the Russian version of "Dangerous and Moving."

The song "Gomenasai," Japanese for "I'm sorry," is rumoured to be a song of repentance for Japanese fans.

Music Videos

The shooting for the music video for the first single, "All About Us" along with the album's name sake, "Dangerous and Moving," took place in Los Angeles. Both videos were shot by film director James Cox. A note about the video for "All About Us" is that there are two versions, one censored and the other uncut. The former was released on tatugirls.com, the English website for t.A.T.u. on August 18. The uncut version has leaked out on the Internet, but will likely not get any airplay on American television. The video release is expected to coincide with the release of the single.

After the clip of the video for Люди-инвалиды (Lyudi-Invalidi) was removed, the full version has been released on the Russian official site. As the music is the same as that for the song Dangerous and Moving, it is expected a very similar video is to be used for Dangerous and Moving, as has been done for songs such as All The Things She Said/Я сошла с ума and Not Gonna Get Us. According to numerous descriptions from the girls themselves, the video for Lyudii Invalidy was filmed in the stench filled part of downtown Los Angeles. It was a homeless hole and they had to clean the whole place with disinfectants prior to filming.

Piracy

During the weekend of August 27, all of the tracks from Dangerous and Moving leaked online on various fan websites and file sharing programs, seven weeks from the intended album release. This does not happen often, and it was expected that, as a result, it would force Interscope to move up the release date, however it seems now, that as it was only a promo version, the release date already set, will remain. It is also, at present unclear as to how exactly it was leaked an astonishing seven weeks before release. However, many people suspect someone got a hold of a pre-release CD sent to radio stations.

According to Sergei Galoyan, the leaked album was a promo and there are three more songs due. Among the rumoured songs are Monkey Zero (English version of Obezyanka Nol'), All My Love (Vsyo Moya Lyubov), and the highly expected english version of Ty Soglasna (You Agree). The first two songs were said by the official site in one of their news updates.
