What Asian Music Items Did You Buy Today? Part 5
 

Well, that took a while... Took us three and a half years to create a new one like this.

Anyways, apparently my "Your Name." movie Blu-ray order is going to have some company (the movie and the upcoming releases I'm mentioning will come out on July 26th)...it's Leo Ieiri. Joined her fanclub earlier this month (http://www.leo-ieirimobile.com/) (along with Sayuri Sugawara's fanclub that she just recently opened up to the world and joined as soon as possible at the end of May - https://thesplay.jp/), and now a new single:

Leo Ieiri - Zutto, Futari de (to be used as the main theme song for NTV drama series "Aishitetatte, Himitsu wa Aru")

http://i.imgur.com/mXVTnMol.jpg
Limited edition (CD+DVD) (the one I ordered)



But wait, there's more Leo Ieiri as well:

Leo Ieiri - 5th Anniversary Live at Nippon Budokan

I was tempted about buying this but I've decided to buy it.

Blu-ray cover



And, again, that's on top of the limited collector's edition Japanese copy of "Your Name." movie that already cost $120 or so...I've never spent $200 (including shipping) on a single order until what's coming up on July!

And I'm smelling more new releases soon, because there's still a new LoVendoЯ mini-album (that was announced earlier in March but may have been delayed by a musical that Reina Tanaka took part) coming up later this summer...

Ordered from 5music

Acid Black Cherry - Acid BLOOD Cherry album (Taiwan press , CD + DVD) . External bonus - poster

As per usual , I didn't paid extra for a poster tube

I will order BREAKERZ's Yume Monogatari single real soon & I already expect not to order the 'standard' 4 copies :laugh

Ordered from HMV Japan , all 4 editions of BREAKERZ's Yume Monogatari single

- CD only regular edition
- CD only Detective Conan version
- CD only limited edition , comes with A5 sized photobook
- CD + DVD limited edition

In addition to the 'standard' 4 copies , my friend will also be buying 2 more CD only regular edition on 12th July itself when she go for BREAKERZ's mini live + handshake event at Odaiba x)

Hey at least she will get to shake the guys' hands 2 more times on my behalf :laugh

BREAKERZ GALLERY "X" opened today & I requested my friend to help me buy the following original goods :

- BREAKERZ GALLERY "X" original goods (postcard & clearfile set)
- BREAKERZ GALLERY "X" original goods (gachagacha keychain , x4 - 2 DAIGO , 1 SHINPEI & 1 SHINPEI Chibi)

The gachagacha keychains , I purchased them from my friend & my friend's friend

My friend's friend sold the 2 DAIGO keychains to me (cos she doesn't like DAIGO lmao & she likes AKIHIDE :p) while the other 2 , my friend sold them to me x)

I don't know if I want to get the other 6 gachagacha keychains online or something D:

Not only that , my friend also got for me a Yume Monogatari paper fan that's given away free for those who visit BREAKERZ GALLERY "X"

In addition , when my friend go back to visit BREAKERZ GALLERY "X" again , I will request her to get for me a special cup + coaster at the venue (coasters are randomly allocated , what else is new in BREAKERZ's world)

Yup going broke & July hasn't even begin LOL

My friend & her friend sold me 4 more BREAKERZ GALLERY "X" original goods gachagacha keychains

- 1 AKIHIDE
- 1 DAIGO Chibi
- 1 SHINPEI
- 1 10th anniversary logo

Both of them have sold me 8 out of 10 gachagacha keychains , LOL . Normally anything relating to AKIHIDE is always the most difficult to obtain

My friend also obtained for me a 10th anniversary cup that comes with a coaster randomly allocated and she got for me SHINPEI's

Ordered these via 5music

B'z - RED single (CD + DVD)
B'z - Seimei / Still Alive single (CD + DVD)
Shimizu Shota - FLY album (CD + DVD)

All Taiwan press . Took me really long to decide to get B'z's RED & Seimei / Still Alive as I thought they would release a new album next

But after they announced B'z COMPLETE SINGLE BOX , that made things easier cos paying 59,400 Yen and/or 75,600 Yen for it is daylight robbery :dead2

Requested my friend to help me redeemed Yume Monogatari lottery lucky draw BREAKERZ members autographed & written comments postcard

Not very sure if I can win the Yume Monogatari photo album though

My other friend is going for this Sun's BREAKERZ Debut 10th Anniversary 【BREAKERZ X】 PROMISE and unlike past concerts/tours , this time round she will wait until the concert goods get listed online for sale then she will help me buy as right now she's downright broke after spending a fortune to go attend KinKi Kids Party！ ~Arigatou 20 nen~ later on even though only 1/2 of KinKi Kids will be present D:

Koda Kumi - W FACE ~outside~ CD+BR
Koda Kumi - W FACE ~inside~ CD
Koda Kumi - LIT

:heart

My friend's in Tokyo's Toyosu PIT now & I requested her to help me buy these goods

- BREAKERZ Debut 10th Anniversary 【BREAKERZ X】 BREAKERZ LIVE HISTORY BOOK
- BREAKERZ Debut 10th Anniversary 【BREAKERZ X】 muffler towel
- BREAKERZ Debut 10th Anniversary 【BREAKERZ X】 pass case

So much $ to repay my friend back & this time round the goods are not cheap but not often an artiste celebrates their 10th anniversary so x)

Requested my middleman to help me buy autographed ribbon strings online

- 6 BREAKERZ Debut 10th Anniversary [BREAKERZ X] MEMORY
- 5 BREAKERZ Debut 10th Anniversary [BREAKERZ X] PROMISE

I'm surprised the seller has twice the amount of MEMORY's autographed ribbon strings unlike PROMISE's , maybe he/she had a better view when he/she attended Sat's concert

Either way yay & at least it's overall cheaper than attending both duo's concerts back to back LOL

My friend just helped me to purchase DAIGO's solo Yume Monogatari trading card online

On that note , I have all 4 of BREAKERZ's trading cards once again :banana1 :banana2

My friend helped me to obtain BREAKERZ 10 Shunen 10ban Shoubu -VS- DVD earlier on Yahoo Japan auction & the DVD is only given away to fans who attended BREAKERZ Debut 10th Anniversary [BREAKERZ X] PROMISE

I already expected that I will spend a lot of $ this month as July is BREAKERZ's debut anniversary but it's still overall cheaper than flying back to Tokyo to see them in concert , LOL

Ordered from 5music

KinKi Kids - The Red Light single (Taiwan press , CD + DVD A) . External bonus - clearfile

Another great single , KinKi Kids seldom disappoints

I spent way too much $ this month cos of BREAKERZ but at least the next few months it wouldn't be so bad , until Oct hits haha

Seeing that my friend forgot to help me buy BREAKERZ GALLERY "X" original goods (postcard & clearfile set) last month (I blame DAIGO for distracting her when the guys came down to view BREAKERZ GALLERY "X" , LOL) , she ordered a set for me a few mins ago on Musing

Luckily Musing still have leftover stock on it . My friend hasn't mailed me a bunch of BREAKERZ stuff but that's ok my sister will pick all of them up for me next month when she return back to Japan haha

Requested my friend to help me buy a copy of YOUPAPER (vol.64) magazine , with BREAKERZ on the cover

I didn't post this earlier, but at the end of July (the 28th, to be specific) I ordered LoVendoR's "Re:Start" comeback mini-album (first release in over a year and a half; last one back in February 2016!).

Just today though I added another album (that was already released) to that order I just mentioned (but must wait for the LoVendoR mini-album release date of September 6th), but I'm not telling you what I added... :P

(I hope more people than just me and Karen share what Asian music they bought recently.)

Hey ! Say ! JUMP - Hey ! Say ! JUMP 2007-2017 I/O best album (Taiwan press , 2 CDs + DVD)

1st of a few albums I will be buying within the next few weeks o_O

Time files by so fast & hard to believe this year's HSJ's 10th anniversary . Felt like yesterday when I 1st saw them in Shounen Club , before their official music debut , same with Kisumai

Girls' Generation 4th Tour: Phantasia in Seoul (Blu-Ray)
Girls' Generation 6th album: Holiday Night - All night ver - (all member signed)

Currently bidding on an all member signed Holiday version of the album as well!

Requested my friend to help me buy SPYAIR's The Way of My Life song online

And my sister returned back to Tokyo last weekend so I requested her to help me buy these releases at any CD shops she will pass by

Aoyama Thelma - 10TH DIARY album (CD only regular edition)
Hilcrhyme - Hilcrhyme Theater vol.3 DVD

My sister will be meeting my friend tomorrow which my friend will pass her a LOT of BREAKERZ stuff , BREAKERZ GALLERY "X" goods & BREAKERZ Debut 10th Anniversary [BREAKERZ X] concert goods

SID - NOMAD album (Taiwan press , CD + photobook)

I was hoping to buy NOMAD together with V6's THE ONES album but for some funny reason , avex Taiwan kept pushing back its release date x_x

My sister managed to help me buy Aoyama Thelma's 10TH DIARY album & Hilcrhyme's Hilcrhyme Theater vol.3 DVD yesterday at TSUTAYA Shibuya and she didn't need to pay taxes as the total amount is above 5,000 Yen

And seeing that my sister will be meeting my friend later on tonight to collect all the BREAKERZ stuff (it's a LOT of items until my friend told my sister to bring along a shopping bag xD) , I told her to pass my friend 17,604 Yen for payment of the fanclub version of BREAKERZ's X album & DAIGO's Kumapanda Monogatari

Yup I'm so broke :dead2

Requested my friend to help me buy Hilcrhyme's Magic Time song online

Just ordered these 2 albums via 5music

SPYAIR - KINGDOM (CD + DVD) with external bonus - poster
V6 - THE ONES (CD + DVD A) with external bonus - tote bag

Both Taiwan press & so relieved avex Taiwan finally released THE ONES after pushing the album numerous times for the past 2 months D:

That said , I don't mind cos THE ONES is just so awesome . I was so very surprised how unexpectedly good it was and it's no doubt 1 of my favourite albums of 2017 , let alone it's so worth the 4 years wait

ARASHI better have some serious convincing to do regarding 「untitled」 :o

And my friend helped me to order the fanclub version of BREAKERZ's X which set me for 16,200 Yen moan :dead2 but the contents given is great (2 full concerts spread in 3 DVDs , a A4 sized photobook & a giant stole = win win)

I will order the non fanclub versions of X next week . It's like July all over again for me lmao

All 3 'normal' versions of BREAKERZ's joint 7th x best album X

- 2 CDs
- 2 CDs + DVD A
- 2 CDs + 2 DVDs B

It's like July all over again for me ahahaha and I probably will ask my friend to buy another copy next weekend when she go for X's release event x_x

1st time I have to cancel a HMV order regarding BREAKERZ D:

I never done that before so this's shocking in a way but for some odd reason , my copies of X have not been shipped out today which normally happens on every Tue (sometimes Mon even) for their past releases except for YAIBA

If not for the X lucky draw (which the deadline to redeem stuff is next Mon night except for GOD ~ BREAKERZ 10 Shunen 10ban Shoubu -VS- 2017.04.14 at Zepp Tokyo~ LIVE Video) , I will not have done so but thank goodness my friend's understanding in that she will help me buy the copies tomorrow at Tower Records if not this coming Sun when she go for the release event

Hey the upside is that my friend will get 3 more event participation tickets so she can either shake their hands (again for the million gazillion time LOL) or get their autograph :laugh

My friend also helped me to order these concert goods of AKIHIDE via Musing earlier on

AKIHIDE SEASON LIVE charity pin badge
AKIHIDE SEASON LIVE magnet set -Zyugoya Merry Go Round-
AKIHIDE SEASON LIVE umbrella pouch

Man Musing increases their domestic shipping fee within Japan , wonderful :eviltongu & my friend said that Yamato Note did the same thing starting from this month onwards -_-

Just ordered these 3 albums on 5music

Amuro Namie - Finally (3 CDs + DVD)
ARASHI - 「untitled」 (CD + DVD)
V6 - SUPER Very best (3 CDs)

All Taiwan press . Both 3 CDs & 3 CDs + DVD of Namie's Finally includes a poster & this time round , I paid extra for a poster tube as I'm giving the poster away

I thought of getting V6's SUPER Very best for a while now as I don't have any best album of them so what better way than to order it together ? x)

Hey! Say! JUMP - White Love (ALL THREE EDITIONS)
Rina Katahira - Ai no Sei

Bought those on CDJapan, won't come out until December 20th (19th though using DHL since I have the year-end trip to Europe starting on the 25th and I'm not willing to take the risk of delivery while we're away).

Might consider adding regular editions of Hey! Say! JUMP's last single and 10th anniversary best album (that I have yet bought) to that same order as well, but not certain since I need to talk with my parents and I'm also planning to buy Danganronpa V3 for my computer within the next day or two with the Steam Autumn Sale (?) potentially coming up starting tomorrow...I'll just have to wait and see.

My friend & our mutual friend are going for BREAKERZ LIVE TOUR 2017 [X-cross-] this coming Sun at Shizuoka 1 of 4 concerts that my friend will attend LOL

I requested my friend to help me buy these concert goods

- BREAKERZ LIVE TOUR 2017 [X-cross-] can badge set
- BREAKERZ LIVE TOUR 2017 [X-cross-] keyholder
- BREAKERZ LIVE TOUR 2017 [X-cross-] pouch

Also next Monday onwards my friend will help me order a copy of AKIHIDE SEASONS CALENDAR 2018 via Musing & it will come with an original Christmas card as an early preorder gift

And I ordered these 2nd hand items via Amazon Japan

ayaka - ayaka's History 2006 - 2009 (2 CDs + DVD limited edition)
LOVE - LOVE.IT mini album (CD + DVD)

Requested my friend to help me buy Hilcrhyme's new single Namida no Tane , Shiawase no Hana online

AKIHIDE SEASONS CALENDAR 2018 is now available for preorder via Musing from today onwards & my friend already helped me to preorder it which comes with a Christmas card as a bonus Christmas gift

And Musing once again raised its domestic shipping cost :grumpy

Requested my friend to help me buy these 2nd hand releases of Hirai Ken via Amazon Japan

- Utabaka Ken Hirai 10th Anniversary Complete Single Collection '95-'05 best album 2 CDs + DVD limited edition
- JAPANESE SINGER album CD + DVD type B limited edition

YUI - FIND ME YUI Visual Best PVs DVD 3 DVDs

Both Taiwan press

Made 2 separate orders of 4 singles & a best album

HMV Japan

Fukuyama Masaharu - Seiiki (CD + DVD limited edition , PV version)
Shimizu Shota - SNOW SMILE (CD + DVD limited edition)

5music Taiwan

Aqua Timez - The BEST of Aqua Timez (2 CDs + DVD)
ARASHI - Doors ~Yuuki no Kiseki~ (CD + DVD B version)
Fukuyama Masaharu - I am a HERO (CD + DVD)

I originally wanted to order Fukuyama-san's Seiiki single via CDJapan as I love his comeback single a lot and annoyed that no 1 has uploaded the full PV online yet but I decided not to as all the while I always prefer using HMV Japan

And I decided to buy Seiiki alongside with Shota's SNOW SMILE as I still like that single of his & SNOW SMILE will be Shota's 1st release that I have both versions of his single

I'm a bit annoyed that Universal Taiwan didn't made the version of Seiiki I wanted as they only made the CD + DVD version that has live footages of Fukuyama-san :grumpy

I sold all of my old ARASHI singles away but this time round I decided to buy the CD + DVD B version of Doors ~Yuuki no Kiseki~ as I really like NOW or NEVER PV & I wonder why it took them 18 years to finally make a PV for their B-side :eyebrow

Lastly I decided to buy The BEST of Aqua Timez as I'm very surprised 5music still has it . With that , I plan to relisten & watch Aqua Timez's old PVs as their old releases are still the best (even though I don't really support/listen to them anymore)

Requested my friend to help me buy these 2nd hand releases via Amazon Japan

Aoyama Thelma

- DIARY album CD + DVD limited edition
- SINGLES BEST CD + DVD limited edition

I'm real grateful for my friend in helping me cos I know recently I have requesting her to buy a lot of 2nd hand releases online & she never complained , or so I like to think x)

My friend helped me to purchase on my behalf the 2 CDs + DVD version of ayaka's History 2006 - 2009 via Yahoo Japan Auction

Ordered via CDJapan

Tsuchiya Anna - NAKE'd ~Soul Issue~ mini album CD + DVD

I will be doing bank transfer to a local seller who sold the Taiwan press / CD + DVD of V6's READY? album to me

I'm stoked about it cos READY? is the very 1st V6 album I listened + bought on 5music Taiwan and I did considered buying a 2nd hand release of the CD + DVD version on Amazon Japan or Yahoo Japan Auctions but I'm shocked how high the prices are even though READY? was released 7 years ago

The amount the seller initially charged me was quite low & she increased the price subsequently cos her friend advised her to do so but that's ok cos I still will be paying 1/2 of the original cost of the Japan press

Psyched to rip the footages from the DVD in due time even though in general V6's PVs suck haha :x

Made my last JPop purchase of 2017

B'z - DINOSAUR album CD + DVD
KinKi Kids - The BEST 3 CDs

Both Taiwan press

Psyched to get them in the brand new year !

BREAKERZ LIVE TOUR 2017 [X-cross-] final is taking place today & my friend sold me 2 more gachagacha keychains ahahaha :x

She only did it 2 times , I think she wanted DAIGO but she didn't get any so this happens :laugh

Just preordered Kuu's new album in FC and CD only edition! :heart
Apart from songs and FC stuff, I'm also really looking forward to that wall sticker.
Wonder how it will be. Hopefully fitting enough for my flat to put it up.

Made my 1st JPop purchase of 2018 today by requesting my friend to help me buy these three 2nd hand releases online

Aqua Timez albums

- Carpe・Diem CD + DVD limited edition
- because you are you CD + DVD limited edition

Nakashima Mika - BEST PV DVD

Also my middleman received last year's BREAKERZ fanclub team brz Christmas postcard on my behalf already so I will be paying him the shipping fee tomorrow

Not sure he received the latest fanclub team brz birthday postcard already though :confused

Yuna Ito - DREAM (CD only)
Namie Amuro - Finally (3CD)
alan - JAPAN PREMIUM BEST & MORE (2CD+DVD)
OLIVIA - GREATEST HITS (2CD+DVD)

Purchasing some albums that had my favorite songs from over the years that I can no longer find on YouTube (Ima Demo Aitai yo... lol) or it's not on Spotify. A little early birthday present for myself since the last time I ordered Japanese CDs was Utada's Fantome.

Ayaka & Daichi Miura - HEART UP (CD+DVD)
Hey! Say! JUMP - Mae wo Muke (again, ALL THREE EDITIONS)
Leo Ieiri - TIME (Limited Edition B, "Relax" MV DVD)

The Ayaka/Daichi Miura and HSJ single releases come a week before Leo Ieiri's album...so I do my traditional 'chaining' process of combining orders with releases separated within a week, so I'll have to wait a week for the former two as I'm putting on the same delivery schedule as Leo's. Ordered once again through CDJapan via DHL.

Still have Ayaka's "Sakura" single and latest 3-STAR RAW tour Blu-ray (via Mu-mo) yet to place an order for myself but need to do that as soon as possible.

My friend helped me to win BREAKERZ's latest team brz fanclub special clearfile which's given as a renewal gift at last year's BREAKERZ LIVE TOUR 2017 [X-cross-] on Yahoo Japan Auctions

In addition , my friend also helped me to order the latest batch of AKIHIDE SEASON LIVE concert goods via Musing

- AKIHIDE SEASON LIVE clearfile set
- AKIHIDE SEASON LIVE magnet set -Shira Yuki no Hammock-
- AKIHIDE SEASON LIVE photoset (green)

I'm shocked that the AKIHIDE SEASON LIVE photoset (brown) has sold out & Musing only opened preorders for the latest AKIHIDE SEASON LIVE concert goods on Tue x_x

I hope Musing will restock it cos I didn't expect this

And since my sister is returning back to Tokyo next week , she will be meeting up with my friend again & my friend will pass all the items to my sister , those that she hasn't mail to me yet & it's a lot of stuff , be it BREAKERZ or non BREAKERZ related

Hopefully my sister wouldn't get a shock when she see the items haha

Do As Infinity - ALIVE (CD+Blu-ray)
iri - Juice (CD+DVD)
NakamuraEmi - NIPPONNO ONNAWO UTAU vol. 4

The new pre-release track from iri's album finally pushed me into pre-ordering the album (and Do As Infinity's newest at the same time, gotta keep the collection complete). I wanted to get Negoto's ETERNALBEAT at the same time, but the price was just getting too high, so I guess I'll just have to wait until I have some more money again...

My friend helped me to purchase Shimizu Shota's Good Life single digitally

My sister managed to help me buy a copy of the Feb 2018 issue of Gekkan Songs magazine earlier on when she went to meet my friend in Shibuya

The BREAKERZ & non BREAKERZ items that my friend passed to my sister are heavy , oops x)

Do As Infinity - Do As Infinity 14th Anniversary -Dive At It Limited Live 2013-
Miu Sakamoto - PHANTOM girl
Negoto - ETERNALBEAT (2CD+DVD)
Saori@destiny - Domestic domain

Couldn't resist CDJapan's free shipping offer, lol.

My friend ordered our copies of BREAKERZ's D×D×D / GREAT AMBITIOUS -Single Version- team brz fanclub version

Both include a set of 3 D×D×D acrylic key holder which's super cute

I thought of holding back to order it cos I'm not sure what Musing might give away for the 'normal' versions of the single but both of us decide to order the fanclub version early cos this time round I don't know if it will sold out

Then again the fanclub version of D×D×D / GREAT AMBITIOUS -Single Version- is almost the price of an album so :x

I hope whatever bonus item Musing plans to give away for D×D×D / GREAT AMBITIOUS -Single Version- will be something I will not need , LOL

Now I have to wait if I want to order D×D×D / GREAT AMBITIOUS -Single Version- via HMV or request my friend to buy should BREAKERZ will do another round of mini live & handshake events which I think it's highly likely it will happen again

Found this eBay selling a bunch of CDs for $5 or so with $2.50 shipping so went on a huge binge...

Miliyah Kato - Ring
Chihiro Onitsuka This Armor | Sugar High
Mika Nakashima - MUSIC | VOICE | STAR
BENI - Bitter & Sweet | Lovebox
Koda Kumi - Dejavu | JAPONESQUE
Shiina Ringo - Kalk Samen Kuri no Hana
Eri Nobuchika - erinobuchika
Anna Tsuchiya - NUDY SHOW!
Meisa Kuroki - MAGAZINE
miwa - guitarissimo
Leah Dizon - Destiny Line
Ai Otsuka - LOVE LETTER | LOVE is BEST

Okay these will be my last orders for a while lol! I’ll treat myself to more CDs after my Vegas trip lol

^ What an enviable haul, those are some legendary albums. I hope they all get to you safely!

Requested my friend to help me buy Namie's Finally / Spot Single Collection DVD online earlier on o_O

namie amuro Final Tour 2018 ~Finally~ just started today & already people are selling the DVD online , LOL

Now I'm deciding which concert goods I want to request my friend to help me buy online

My friend is attending Namie's concert in May but seeing that the queue to buy the concert goods is ridiculously long (based on the photos I saw online today) , I think buying online is less stressful

My friend helped me to order namie amuro Final Tour 2018 ~Finally~ concert goods online earlier on

- namie amuro Final Tour 2018 ~Finally~ keyholder (black)
- namie amuro Final Tour 2018 ~Finally~ keyholder (white)
- namie amuro Final Tour 2018 ~Finally~ tote bag
- namie amuro Final Tour 2018 ~Finally~ zoadic sign keyholder

- namie amuro Final Tour 2018 ~Finally~ zip pack box

Unfortunately my friend had to make 2 separate orders cos the zip pack box has a different estimated shipping date so this means I have to pay domestic shipping fee , twice :dead2

At least my friend wouldn't need to queue up to help me buy Namie's goods when she go watch her perform on 6th May at Tokyo Dome whew

My friend went to Tower Records Shibuya & preordered 13 copies of BREAKERZ's D×D×D / GREAT AMBITIOUS -Single Version- single , inclusive of mine :laugh

For me

4 copies of CD regular
1 copy of CD only Dame Pri version
1 copy of CD + DVD A limited edition
1 copy of CD + DVD B limited edition

My friend preordered the other 6 copies , 2 copies for each version except for the CD only Dame Pri version

The CD only Dame Pri version of D×D×D / GREAT AMBITIOUS -Single Version- is the only 1 that my friend will not get an event participation ticket as I want the clearfile bonus item that Tower Records is giving away

I don't know if my friend will order somemore copies on 11th March at the release event itself but who knows ? ;)

I caved and purchased more CDs lol

Rie fu - Rie fu
Rie fu - URBAN ROMANTIC
Chihiro Onitsuka - LAS VEGAS
Ami Suzuki - Supreme Show
Mika Nakashima - YES
Mika Nakashima - REAL
MEG - Journey
Meisa Kuroki - ATTITUDE

My friend helped me to purchase JASMINE's Black Kitty song via iTunes Japan

My middleman renewed my BREAKERZ fanclub membership yay

Ordered via 5music

FLOWER FLOWER - Spotlight album (Taiwan press , CD + DVD)

Since my sister is going back Japan end of this month again with her friend , I thought of asking her to help me buy Kuu's AND album when she's there & this time round avex Taiwan seems to only have plans to make the CD only x_x

I like the CD only cover of AND though but I want the DVD footages in the album ._.

Ordered on HMV Japan

KinKi Kids - MTV Unplugged: KinKi Kids DVD with clearfile external bonus

I rarely buy concert DVDs now (aside from BREAKERZ & their solo careers) but I make an exception for KinKi Kids as this release was to celebrate their 20th anniversary last year & it's an acoustic concert which only 800 fans were lucky to attend it

I don't think avex Taiwan will make this as they weren't able to get the license to make the CD + DVD B of The Red Light single

My friend helped me to win a BREAKERZ / DxDxD bromide photo that someone was selling away on Yahoo Japan Auctions

She was supposed to go to the Dame Pri Store in HARAJUKU temporary pop up shop today but unfortunately she's not feeling well so this's the 2nd alternative

I'm surprised no 1 bid on the bromide photo but at the same time , I saved a considerable amount of $ to obtain it because I have to spend 3,000 Yen & above at the Dame Pri store to get the bromide photo (not that I mind to buy more copies of BREAKERZ's D×D×D / GREAT AMBITIOUS -Single Version- single to get it but anyway LOL)

In this case , I spend a lot less to obtain the bromide photo so yay

And seeing that AKIHIDE will be releasing 3 future batches of solo concert goods in the next few months til July , I really hope for once next month's BREAKERZ LIVE 2018 ~DAIGO's 40th BIRTHDAY~ concert goods , there wouldn't be anything I want to buy

But then again my friend will attend BREAKERZ LIVE 2018 ~DAIGO's 40th BIRTHDAY~ so I don't know haha :3

Helped Earth_maiden to order these 2 releases via 5music

BoA - Watashi Kono Mama de Ii no Kana album (CD + DVD with live footages)
Nishino Kana - Kana Nishino Dome Tour 2017 "Many Thanks" 2 DVDs ; 1st press

Both Taiwan press

Just ordered the single Ame from Mezzo“, can't wait for it to arrive ❤

My sister went back Tokyo last Fri (again , lol) and earlier on she went to HMV at Esola Ikebukuro & helped me buy a copy of Koda Kumi's AND album CD + DVD

A shame that avex Taiwan this time round didn't made the CD + DVD version even though I like the CD only cover D:

My friend attended BREAKERZ LIVE 2018 ~DAIGO 40th BIRTHDAY~ on Sun & I requested her to help me buy a charity band

She also played the gachagacha machine once & she sold to me a SHINPEI keychain -_- xD

I'm surprised up to now I don't have a charity band of BREAKERZ & I'm relieved my friend helped me buy 1 on Sun because it cannot be bought online anymore

Same thing with the rock salt bottle which's so lame as a concert good , LOL

But since BREAKERZ were doing 'free PR' over it during the MC segments of the concert , guess that helped for the rock salt bottle to get subsequently sold out haha

My friend helped me to purchase these songs via iTunes Japan on my behalf

SID - ASH
Kobukuro - ONE TIMES ONE single

In the last 3 months I went into an eBay shopping spree :(

My friend earlier on sold me 6 more BREAKERZ LIVE 2018 ~DAIGO 40th BIRTHDAY~ gachagacha keychains that her friend did last Sun lmao :x xD

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Datta-7UMAAKeh6.jpg:small

For the SHINPEI keychain , I request my friend to mail it to someone in BREAKERZ's fandom as next week is her birthday & it's the same 1 that my friend did/sold to me last week

I don't believe in keeping extra things of the guys & I gladly will give them away to others who don't have them

Ordered via 5music

NEWS - EPCOTIA album (Taiwan press , CD + DVD)

Lesson learnt , anything Johnnys related be it Japan and/or Taiwan press , just go buy the CD + DVD version(s) cos I'm not able to do that anymore for NEWS's previous album NEVERLAND

I saw people selling the CD + DVD of NEVERLAND on Ebay & it was sold for 90 bucks & it's not Japan press which's ridiculous

In a way I'm not sore in unable to buy the CD + DVD of NEVERLAND cos the DVD footages are quite meh but the packaging looked good but EPCOTIA looks great too

My friend helped me to buy a set of AKIHIDE's AKIHIDE SEASON LIVE magnet set -Watage no Gondola- earlier on via Musing

My friend helped me to order BREAKERZ Debut 10th Anniversary Live [BREAKERZ X] COMPLETE BOX via team brz fanclub's website due to a staff pass bonus item that only team brz members will get

If not for that , I would order the guys' newest DVD via HMV Japan as per norm

My middleman also received the latest fanclub renewal gift yesterday on my behalf & he will mail it to me next week as this week is Golden Week for Japan

Do As Infinity - Do As Infinity 16th Anniversary -October's Garden-
INSHOW-HA - INSHOW-HA wa Kimi ni Toikakeru
Mami Kawada - PARABLEPSIA

I had some CDJapan points I needed to use before they expired, and since I'm apparently physically incapable of fewer than three items at once, this happened.

My friend helped me to purchase Hirai Ken's new song Todokanaikara digitally earlier on from Recochoku

Also , preorder links (except for CDJapan) are already up for AKIHIDE's new album Kikai Shikake no Yuenchi -Electric Wonderland- but my friend & I will wait to preorder cos we want to see what bonus item/s the different CD stores will give away

I doubt AKIHIDE will do any release event for his new album cos the release date is 3 days away from AKIHIDE SEASON LIVE 2018 -Summer- Yunagi no Parade

I would't say no to another personalised autograph from AKIHIDE though x)

My friend helped me to order these of Namie via 7/11

- namie amuro Final Tour 2018 ~Finally~ 25th THANK YOU I ♡ FAN! patch seal (pink colour)
- namie amuro Final Tour 2018 ~Finally~ 25th THANK YOU I ♡ FAN! patch seal (white colour)

I'm sure if the patch seals weren't priced so low , the demand wouldn't have been so high

Also I think I will be buying all 3 versions of KAT-TUN's comeback single Ask Yourself cos avex Taiwan is giving away the Task Yourself notebook just like JStorm and the packaging for the CD + DVD version is amazing

I support a lot of Johnnys groups but KAT-TUN is still my favourite . They've gone through so much crap over the years so I'm really happy they're back

Ordered all 3 versions of KAT-TUN's Ask Yourself via 5music

- CD regular with Task Yourself notebook bonus item
- CD limited
- CD + DVD

I originally only want to buy the CD + DVD version but I decided to buy all 3 versions cos I want to support KAT-TUN as Ask Yourself is their comeback single as a trio

And out of so many Johnnys I support over the years , KAT-TUN is still my favourite despite the numerous up's & down's they faced

My friend today helped me to purchase Shimizu Shota's new single Friday digitally

My friend helped me to purchase Hirai Ken's 2nd new song Shiranai ne Desho? digitally today from Recochoku

Also I will most definitely buy DAIGO's new solo single Manatsu no Zankyou / Konya , Nostalgia de . I probably wouldn't buy from HMV but instead maybe I will request my other friend to help me buy DAIGO's new single , provided DAIGO will do release event promo for it x)

My friend managed to help me order namie amuro Final Tour 2018 ~Finally~ pen case (brown & pink colours) earlier online via d fashion after they restock the pen cases for the 3rd time (and counting maybe)

I don't understand why d fashion cannot ship both pen cases to my friend :x as a result I have to pay twice the domestic shipping fee :eviltongu

I requested my friend to help me buy AKIHIDE's Planetarium , Ghost & My Little Clock songs digitally via Recochoku

So good to hear AKIHIDE sing again after 4 long years

My friend helped me to purchase 2 songs from hide TRIBUTE IMPULSE digitally via Recochoku

Also very excited to get another personalised autograph from AKIHIDE in due time :love

Ordered Kis-My-Ft2's Yummy!! album (CD only) alongside with Gekkan Songs magazine July 2018 issue via CDJapan

Mad onslaught of AKIHIDE & DAIGO's solo releases awaits and as expected , I already have an upfront feeling that I will be buying more than the standard copies for both their releases :x

Ordered both regular & limited versions of AKIHIDE's Kikai Shikake no Yuenchi -Electric Wonderland- album earlier on HMV Japan

My friend & our mutual friend will be attending AKIHIDE's Acoustic Wonderland release event next Tue night that will take place at Tower Records Shibuya and I requested my friend to help me buy another regular version of Kikai Shikake no Yuenchi -Electric Wonderland- cos I want to get the A5 sized photocard giveaway

A bit surprised & unfortunate that this time round neither HMV Japan and/or CDJapan are giving away any bonus item for Kikai Shikake no Yuenchi -Electric Wonderland-

So technically I have purchased 4 copies of Kikai Shikake no Yuenchi -Electric Wonderland- in total , including August's Talking Wonderland release event which AKIHIDE will write my name down on the album :heart

Ordered both Taiwan press limited versions A & B of V6's LIVE TOUR 2017 The ONES DVD for someone living in Indonesia

I also requested my friend to help me buy another copy of AKIHIDE's Kikai Jikake no Yuenchi -Electric Wonderland- album last night via Musing cos he looks amazing in the Mimi de Akira Electric Wonderland -Introduction- sound card that only Musing is giving away :3

BREAKERZ & DAIGO stuff my friend helped me to buy/order this week ::

• Rie Kitahara 2nd photobook "Mousou Jisshaka Keikaku"

First J-pop photobook I've ordered in my life! :D (Rie Kitahara used to be part of AKB48, then NGT48, before graduating earlier this April.)

(Next orders coming up for me are expected to be Ayaka's new album (first since spring 2015!) and Rina Katahira's 5th anniversary best album (November), but I haven't pre-ordered them yet, especially when Ayaka has not yet set a firm date on when her new album will come out.)

Whatever happened to you who claimed in HSJ thread that you're not supporting them anymore just because Okamoto will take a leave of absence next month onwards ? :o

And yet you bought all versions of their latest single & upcoming new album , wow :o

Made 2 album orders

Yesterday via CDJapan

Koda Kumi - DNA (CD + DVD) with postcard external bonus

I buy Japan press only if I know the artiste(s) don't have any Taiwan press made but just so happen that I want to combine DNA with the Sept issue of Gekkan Songs magazine that will be out tomorrow

Also like AND , I don't know if avex Taiwan will make the CD + DVD of DNA -_-

Today via 5music

KAT-TUN - CAST (CD + DVD type A)

I wanted to order CAST with KinKi Kids CONCERT 20.2.21 -Everything happens for a reason- DVD but 5music hasn't listed the DVD on their website yet so I went ahead cos CAST will be out tomorrow in Taiwan

I don't need the physical copy of CD + DVD type B , I'm more than content with CD + DVD type A . Unstoppable PV is so good omg & here I thought Ask Yourself PV was super addictive to watch non stop :laugh

Looks like I changed my mind after all. Still sticking with HSJ!

Ordered via 5music

SID - Ichiban Sukina Basho mini album Taiwan press CD + DVD

Ordered on 5music

Hey ! Say ! JUMP - SENSE or LOVE album (2 CDs + DVD)
KinKi Kids - KinKi Kids CONCERT 20.2.21 -Everything happens for a reason- DVD (2 DVDs + live CD)

Both Taiwan press . I was debating back & forth if I want to get the 2 DVDs or 2 DVDs + live CD version cos avex Taiwan made both versions

Turns out the 2 DVDs version of KinKi Kids CONCERT 20.2.21 -Everything happens for a reason- only had an extra 15 minutes worth of footages that I already downloaded online

Somemore I like the 2 DVDs + live CD version cover a lot more so lol

Bought VIP tickets to go see SPYAIR perform next month at C3 AFA SINGAPORE 2018 :banana1 :banana2

My sister is tagging along & the seats assigned to us is so terrible but it's better than having the website crashed :eviltongu

Unfortunately photography & videography are not allowed at C3 AFA SINGAPORE 2018 but it's better than nothing

I'm really excited , I waited way too long to see SPYAIR perform in person >___<

Ordered 2 albums via 5music

Hirai Ken - Ken's Bar III
Nakashima Mika - PORTRAIT ~Piano & Voice~

Both Taiwan press CD + DVD versions

I also bought DAIGO's cover songs of WANDS's Motto Tsuyoku Dakishimetanara & DEEN's Konomama Kimi Dake wo Ubaitoritai online as well

Xianghua helped me to purchase GLAY's new single Urei no Prisoner / YOUR SONG online earlier on :)

Great single , YOUR SONG is a very untypical GLAY song but TERU did a fantastic job creating it & for once he also composed which's something he rarely does but it's a home run without a doubt

Purchased Kobukuro's Kaze o Mitsumete single online

Xianghua helped me to purchase Wakeshima Kanon's One last time & roses songs online

Helped Earth_maiden to order Nishino Kana's Love Collection 2 ~pink~ & ~mint~ best albums from 5music

And also preordered all 3 versions of DAIGO's 1st cover album Deing as well , not excluding the extra copies that my friend will help me buy next week during Deing release event(s) :P

Why did I buy a Nogizaka46 T-shirt yesterday (Monday PST Seattle time/early Tuesday JST Tokyo time)...?
