BREAKERZ Love Love ♥ photocard / AKIHIDE in BUNNY LOVE mode

I was stoked when I saw it this morning online & I immediately had to ask for help to get it since the BREAKERZ Love Love ♥ photocards have been getting harder to get hold of as each year goes by

Let alone anything AKIHIDE related is ridiculously priced & it was a pleasant surprise that the seller was willing to close the auction early at a rather cheap price

On that note , 1 down , 11 more photocards to go x)

I just bought Miyavi's new album The Others from iTunes!
Hoping for another world tour now that he has released a new album.

Edit: wrong thread.
I guess if it counts I bought grip by every little thing on iTunes.

Ayaka - Rainbow Road (Room Ayaka ver.)

TAKE TWO. First one that I ordered...I just realized yesterday that I typed in the address - which was supposed to go to my Tenso address - INCORRECTLY. It is very unlikely, if not impossible, the original order will end up in my Tenso mailbox...

...so I used my financial aid debit card to re-order it. Hopefully it goes through smoothly... (And if the original order, in an unexpected miracle, comes to my Tenso mailbox, then I could sell the extra copy! :D But it's not likely though... :()

EDIT 4/16: Apparently the Tenso guys have found the pre-order Rainbow Road package that I originally ordered!
http://s26.postimg.org/e7iaijaol/201...o_com_Pack.jpg

In the end, I am going to end up with not just one - but TWO - copies of the Room Ayaka Rainbow Road album next week. I may put it up on auction on eBay; I'll only have one copy up for bid/sale.

Shipping fee paid/sent in line with the latest team brz Vol 25 fanclub magazine of BREAKERZ

And they've already started to work on the next fanclub magazine , it's good being a BREAKERZ fanclub member :D

Won the following DAIGO LIVE TOUR 2014 “DAIGOLD” gachagacha keychains from Yahoo Japan Auction earlier on

Shishido Kavka - K5 (CD Only)

Some of the CDJapan points are short-term, so I had to spend it pretty quickly...

Kimaguren - Last Summer Days -Kimagure Best- (2CD+DVD limited edition)

Sad to hear that Kimaguren is going to disband by the time the summer's over. :( Certainly this is the first...and the last Kimaguren product I'll ever order. (Okay, I could order older albums/singles, but in terms of new releases...this will be my only time.)

I got started being interested in Kimaguren back in summer of 2012 when I was about to enter community college for the first time, but I haven't been getting enough traction with Kimaguren (not much released between summer of 2012 and today), and I felt a bit sad when I heard Kimaguren was going to disband. Best wishes to KUREI and ISEKI on their future music careers.

http://www.tokyohive.com/article/201...niversary-year


This album is going to come out on July 1st (Ayu's summer day! :D), same day when LoVendoЯ (with ex-Morning Musume girl Reina Tanaka) is going to release their major debut single. But details are still mum at the moment, and no pre-order links are there yet...but eventually I'll be pre-ordering that single through CDJapan (pretty much the place I go to for most new release orders, notable exception was mu-mo Ayaka Shop for my Rainbow Road album purchase) and ship it at the same time Kimaguren's final release comes out. Again, still waiting for LoVendoЯ to announce that major debut single details (no details what label they'll be as of now, either).

Namie - genie cd/blu Ray from cdjapan

Another year of Room Ayaka membership...

Amuro Namie - TSUKI single
Amuro Namie - BRIGHTER DAY single

Both Taiwan presses / CD + DVD

I normally do not buy Namie's singles but at least now I have an excuse to get both TSUKI + BRIGHTER DAY since both tracks are officially confirmed not to be included in _genic

Let alone , I didn't buy Ballada either x)

On that note I'm so looking forward to get/hear _genic in due time !

2 tickets to Koda Kumi Asia Live 2015

O.M.G

I'm going to freak out big time when I finally see Kuu so upclose and personal when she comes to my country for her 1st concert in Singapore :tipsy

Ordered via BREAKERZ's fanclub team brz online shop

BREAKERZ - WE GO single (CD only) + fanclub exclusive item - photoset of 4

I'm a bit disappointed there will be no fanclub edition of the guys' comeback single this time round but photoset of 4 kinda makes up for things

And any excuse to buy more than the standard 3 editions of the single in order to get bonus stuff urgh xD

Does anyone know if the blurays included with Namie Amuro releases are region free?

Almost certain. My Ayaka Blu-ray was region free, I was able to watch it on the other side of the Pacific (although, to be honest, region coding for Japan is the same as the USA/Canada, if it gets implemented).

I'm pretty sure all Blu-ray discs are region free.

Thank you for responding ^_^ I recently got a bluray player so I hope to order some Namie blurays and have them work!

There is no reason to worry, they are all region free like everyone's said. The other day I was watching the blu-rays of ayu and kumi's latest albums on my tv.
There are some blu rays that are region locked, but I think that those blu-rays are much older. And like Bigtop said, Japan has the same region code as us for blu-rays.
This is why I only get blu-rays now. They play N E Where and have the best image quality so far.

2 tickets to Takizawa Kabuki Singapore

At 1st , I didn't want to go but after thinking over , I'm like when will be the next chance I'll be able to see Johnny's in person , in Singapore ?

My younger sister & I wanted to go for the last date but had to settle for the 2nd last date for Takizawa Kabuki Singapore

At least we'll be quite near the stage , sorta :3

LoVendoЯ - Iinjyanai?/(TBD) - ALL THREE EDITIONS (Limited Edition, two Regular Editions)

I'm not happy with this kind of concept where you put bonus track(s) on one edition and not on the other. It really frustrates me cash-wise - I simply cannot afford everything.

But I heard the bonus tracks on the regular editions are instrumentals. I usually don't listen to instrumentals very much, if any. If the limited edition has pretty much identical tracklist other than the bonus instrumentals, I'll just go for the limited edition with the DVD.

Kis-My-Ft2 - KIS-MY-WORLD album (CD only / 1st press)

I usually buy Taiwan presses of Kisumai's releases but in recent times avex Taiwan has stopped making their stuff which's saddening as Taiwan press's always cheaper for me to afford as compared to Japan press :x

Oh well I hope my gut feeling's right & at least the Yen is now in my favour x)

BREAKERZ's SHINPEI / 0-ZERO- trading card

Man this's the longest I have to wait for people to sell their trading card online x.x Doesn't help sales for their album haven't been the best for them D:

With a friend's help :

- BREAKERZ LIVE TOUR 2015 0-ZERO- mini clearfile & fileset
- BREAKERZ LIVE TOUR 2015 0-ZERO- pamphlet
- BREAKERZ LIVE TOUR 2015 0-ZERO- thermo flask bottle

The guys' pamphlet this time round is expensive at 4,500 Yen but there're 84 pages in total which's almost double of what their past pamphlets had & seems that it's more like a photobook than a pamphlet

Regardless , can't wait to get them all soon :love

1,000 yen iTunes Japan gift card. Still waiting as of now (under processing phase, cannot be sent out to my email until processing is completed). I need it fast so I can get it before I leave Friday morning! :O

Wanted to buy that gift card because I wanted to buy one song from the Japanese iTunes store (no, not miwa, it's a Sayuri Sugawara song from some album featuring music composed by YUKI "Jolly Roger" sung by various artists, including Sayuri as THE SxPLAY).

EDIT 8/13: Well, shortly after posting this...the confirmation email with the code that I redeemed came into my inbox, and right away "After The Storm" (from above) is now on my iPhone, ready for my trip east.

I bought "Remode 1" by Globe on iTunes Japan, along with "Flowery" by Versailles. Remode is amazing and has almost all of my favorite songs("Departures" and "Try This Shoot" are missing but I'm happy they included "Anytime Smokin' Cigarette". And "Flowery" is also great.

My friend helped me to win all 4 trading cards of BREAKERZ's 0-ZERO- earlier on Yahoo Japan Auction ;___;

I don't know what I do without her , seriously

Got me some limited stuff I was looking for since ages:
.ayu - XOXO / Terminal
.ayu - H [Green cover]
.ayu - H [White cover]
.Kuu - 3 SPLASH [CD+DVD+Pouch]
.Kuu - TABOO [FC edition]
.AFTERSCHOOL - Dress to kill [CD+DVD+PB] (not limited as far as I know but bought it either way)

My sister's friend helped both of us to buy these just now

- Takizawa Kabuki 10th Anniversary Singapore pamphlet
- Takizawa Kabuki 10th Anniversary Singapore special DVD

I had no plans to go for it & I'm so glad I didn't chose the wrong decision as from the reviews I've read online & also various news programmes covering Takizawa Kabuki 10th Anniversary Singapore , everything look awesome

I can't wait to see for myself this Saturday afternoon :love and the goods are specially made for Singapore (not the same as Japan's) , how cool's this ?

My sister's friend is currently in Osaka as she's attending 2 dates of V6 LIVE TOUR 2015 -SINCE1995 ~ FOREVER-

She helped both of us buy 2 V6 LIVE TOUR 2015 -SINCE1995 ~ FOREVER- USB thumbdrives in yesterday's concert & this's the 2nd Johnnys' related concert good I bought , USB thumbdrive wise

After years delaying it, I finally tried buying a JAPONESQUE CD+Goods version on Yahoo auctions and won it :banana2 That PB is fantastic, cant wait to receive it!

Congrats, Gustavopc! :)

I made huge orders of Kuu merchandise over the last weeks, now that I have some money left for it again.

As for other CDs , I wait until next month as my sister's going back Tokyo to attend anime & concerts so no rush on that x)

Bought 1 early bird / general admission ticket to Skechers Sundown Festival 2015

MARIA ORIENTE magazine November 2015

I just purchased the A Best 2 Black Play Button from the TA booth at the concert... but it doesnt work, when I plug in my earphones it doenst play music, I think it's because you have to charge it before using it first. Then I get home and i plug it into my computer and it does not charge -_- and now I don't know what to do... because Odaiba is really far and I don't even know if they would do a refund...

Preordered via Musing

- AKIHIDE Premium Night Show 2015 Yume Miru Kurage no Orchestra calendar 2016
- AKIHIDE Premium Night Show 2015 Yume Miru Kurage no Orchestra charity pin badge

Well, that has changed. Because of this:

THE SxPLAY - Butterfly Effect (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview....EY=DAKZLCP-272)

If you're wondering who THE SxPLAY is...that is Sayuri Sugawara. First time releasing something new in a year and a half! :O

I still don't understand why I still follow Sayuri Sugawara around these days, even if her reputation is dust already. I'm still behind her back!

But Sayuri's mini-album isn't going to come out until November 25th. Since Yanawaraba's mini-album is going to come out on the 4th, that means it's going to be delayed, and I might end up having Yanawaraba's mini-album a month after its release date.

But then again, I'm trying to cut some costs on shipping here, and I'm still busy at school, so fine, I won't mind about waiting a bit longer for Yanawaraba. But this means I'm going to have both Sayuri and Yanawaraba delivered at the same time once again (first time in three years)! Although I might have to wait until December, definitely after Thanksgiving...

My sister went back Tokyo today & earlier on she went TSUTAYA Shibuya to help me buy Aoyama Thelma's GRAY SMOKE mini album

I'm actually surprised TSUTAYA Shibuya has no stock on the CD + DVD edition of Crystal Kay x Amuro Namie's REVOLUTION single :O

After a fruitless search last Friday , my sister managed to buy for me the CD + DVD edition of Crystal Kay x Amuro Namie's REVOLUTION single at TSUTAYA Ueno

They were still giving away the poster but thankfully my sister didn't took it as I don't need it lol

BENI - Undress album (CD + DVD + special photobook limited edition)

Ordered via 5music

ARASHI - Japonism album (Taiwan press , CD + DVD)

My Taiwanese friend will get the 2 CDs regular edition of Japonism for me as a Christmas gift since all of the Johnnys albums that were released this year (from NEWS to Hey ! Say ! JUMP to Domoto Koichi & Kis-My-Ft2) , I've bought them all already LOL

Too bad Japonism is not as good as ARASHI's previous 2 albums but Kokoro no Sora in Japonism is a masterpiece

Pre-ordered the Taiwan press of the latest Ayu DVD! :D

Bought a ￥500 iTunes Japan gift card online in which I requested Utena to help me buy 2 songs from iTunes Japan

Which're

BENI - BFF
Hilcrhyme - HAKU-SAN

Bought three discs from Kuu from a friend :D I got the CD and CD+DVD versions of Alive/Physical thing and the first press of ETERNITY ~Love & Songs~, yay! :heart

My middleman just emailed me to say that he has received BREAKERZ's BATTLE ROYALE ZEPP ~Dai 1-kai BREAKERZ Solo Houkokukai~ Live DVD

Holy crap , I'm shocked that he was able to help me win it as the DVD is a lucky draw item & the guys' record label only printed 1,000 copies of it D:

My friend sent me the footages just yesterday & I was lamenting that people in the guys' fandom that I know seem to have 'easily' won the dvd but not me

Ha , I'm taking all that back now :laugh :laugh :laugh

All 3 editions of BREAKERZ's YAIBA single :heart

- CD only regular edition with trading card
- CD only limited edition with A5 sized photobook
- CD + DVD limited edition

Covers are superb as prior to this , I have no idea what kind of concept the guys will go for & who knew military chic suits them very well :luv2

Ordered via 5music

SPYAIR - 4 album (Taiwan press , CD + DVD)

Sony BMG Taiwan has finally start to make SPYAIR's material which's a big relief & this's the 1st album they've made (although technically it's their 2nd release getting a Taiwan press , after last year's BEST)

A poster is given away while stocks last but unlike other releases , I chose not to pay extra for a poster tube as I don't really need the poster so 5music will just fold & put it inside the parcel , together with 4

I plan to buy INKT's Physalis Tour 2015 can badge at this Sat's Skechers Sundown Festival 2015

Skechers Sundown Festival 2015 just released the goods list for INKT & I probably will just buy the can badge since the other items don't appeal to me & they ain't cheap

At least I wouldn't feel like I burnt a big hole in my pocket by buying the can badge LOL

That said I'm so excited to see INKT in concert especially seeing Tanaka Koki in person :love

Cancelled Shion Miyawaki single order. I'm scratching my heads why that single is more expensive than Sayuri Sugawara's (THE SxPLAY) upcoming or Yanawaraba's recently-released mini-albums... I mean, seriously? Two songs (plus instrumentals) costing more than a five- or six-song mini-album? Oh wait, the DVD...

Going to order another copy of BREAKERZ's YAIBA single (CD only regular) via TEAM BREAKERZ SHOP

Oh this has to happen , it's normal :laugh but I really like the bonus items that will be included that only fanclub members will receive

Yes BREAKERZ please take away my $ & just when I thought the guys couldn't be anymore hotter :dead

And since I preordered all 3 editions of YAIBA via HMV , I will be getting 3 poster calendars gorgeous :luv2

Helped Earth_maiden to order via 5music

Ayu - ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2015 A Cirque de Minuit ～Mayonaka no Circus～ The FINAL DVD
Nishino Kana - Secret Collection ~RED~ compilation album (CD + DVD)

Both are Taiwan press & for Kana's Secret Collection ~RED~ , it includes a poster which Earth_maiden requested me to pay extra for a poster tube

Weird that 5music is not giving away the poster for Secret Collection ~GREEN~ now oO

Recently bought Kuu's MAROC and Koda Shiki at S$15 together. And also Ayu's NEXT LEVEL (USB ver) for S$25! Such a steal. I had to get them.

ayumi hamasaki - sixxxxxx (CD only)
Kana Nishino - Secret Collection ~GREEN~ (CD+DVD limited)
Kana Nishino - Secret Collection ~RED~ (CD+DVD limited)
JASMINE - PURE LOVE BEST (2CD limited)

I just had to spoil myself. It's been a while since I've ordered J-Pop (when Ai's LOVE TRiCKY came out)

@Nintendo you won't regret the Kana albums, they're beautifully packaged. I just wish they'd come with stickers in the first press like pink and mint did.

YAAAAAY so excited, can't wait to get this order. :love

ordered lecca though viillage 214-215

boa the face tour:love

I'm thinking of asking someone in BREAKERZ's fandom to help me order SID's bassist AKi's new mini album since she's based in Japan

It's frustrating that Tower Records don't ship overseas x_x & let alone on why AKi decides to make his releases only available in 1 company D:

Finally, it's here!
