The Live CD is so good I really love the Orchestra arrangements (even if in reality it was only half the musicians... you don't notice it on the CD)

There was also a bunch of goodies with that release, I ordered it with Loveppears remastered so I received a box loaded with stuff!

I tried to put my order in but it said the website was really congested so I'll try to process it again later. :D

I sent my package with surface mail. I'm tired from waiting and afraid that even this option may be closed soon.

I never used DHL with Tenso, but amazon Japan uses DHL and it worked faster then tenso in my past experiences (Including during Covid).

What a shit show the Swedish postal service is! The 15th of September I got a notification that I had to pay VAT/customs on the package from CDJapan. The thing is, they had calculated things wrong. They mixed up Japanese Yen and Swedish Kronor when they did the calculations. So it ended up costing me 3 times as much as the real cost. I called them a bunch of times. They said they need to redo the calculation and let things go through their systems once more. Even gotten an email where they said "Your package will not be sent back".

So today, I check the status of everything... "Your package is being sent back"... What! If they can't stop the package, then I need to email CDJapan and tell them all of this, that they should resend the package back again. If they charge me for shipping I'll just say to the Swedish postal service to pay me that. So angry at them right now! Sorry for the rant.

Sounds like it could be German postal service... I feel your pain

oh my god that's awful :( I'm lucky in that the Australian postal service is expensive but I've rarely had problems shipping here (mainly just slowness, cost increasing and a couple of lost items over the years). I hope you can resolve it easily and get compensated!


My Tenso and Buyee packages aren't counting down yet until EMS resumes I think but I'm so frustrated that I'm tied to DHL or Sea Mail only. If I did one of those bulk lots of random crap I'd ship it via sea and not be too worried but I'm paranoid shipping expensive stuff without tracking or insurance lol

If anyone really wanted the tote bag from the DVD/BR release but didn't want to buy the whole package, there's one on Mercari Japan: https://buyee.jp/mercari/item/m54591590443

Sorry to hear about that, that's so bad :/
I've always ordered from Yesasia and I have so far been lucky.

I had my issuses here or there, especially if custom is involved.

I usually had problems with DHL or Deutsche Post (the most stupid customer service, like really), Customs though is a breeze for me. The people that work in the customs office now know me and I don't even have to open my packages anymore... It's quite fun to "visit" customs ever now and then (if it just wouldn't always cost so much T_T)

The DVD version of Promised Land has reached #96 on the yearly music DVD chart for 2020, having sold 6,973 copies. The blu-ray didn't appear on the yearly chart.

With the cancellation of this years countdown live concert (2020 just keeps on giving... :no). Here's a solution if you're sitting alone on New Years:

Watch last years concert (2019-2020) and make sure to time everything so Ayu counts down to the new year! I've done this a couple times and celebrating the new year this way is somewhat of a fun thing.

So the trick is to start watching the concert at a specific time. From my Blu-ray rip of the concert, Ayu yells HAPPY NEW YEAR @ 1:26:14 into the concert. So if you start watching at 22:33:46 your local time, Ayu should count down to the NEW year.

Make sure to take a quick look so your copy of the concert has the same time.

FoxyPinkGirl 29th December 2020 05:20 PM

God that just broke my heart for her reading the TA announcement in my email just now of the cancellation of CDL. I hope the infected team member is okay too. Hopefully they can reschedule it for next month instead of scrapping the entire concept all together after everyone is out of quarantine and tests negative.
