[33] Alice!

Konbanwa!

There were more items in the package that I received yesterday, but this must be the one I'm most happy about. I finally obtained Alice! This single, which is their first, was given away for free in two versions at their live performance at Meguro Rockmaykan (目黒鹿鳴館) on the 27th of November 2003. I got the version which is listed as the Limited Edition with DVD on the official discography page, but I already came to the conclusion before I received it that there is no DVD with any of the two releases. The other version of Alice is listed as the Regular Edition, while both aren't exactly easy to to obtain. It seems they made a mistake when adding Alice to their discography list.

I added the Alice versions as Type A and Type B in my (D)iscography, instead of Alice Regular (CD) and Alice Limited (CD+DVD) or something like that. For now, I will list the one I got as Type B, as I've seen multiple websites listing this version like that.

Tomorrow I'll show more from the package!

[32] More photos!

Good evening everyone!

It's been a week since I posted this photo set and since then I received the other set too. Instead of sending the 'wrong' one back, I decided to keep it and buy the one I initially wanted as well. The first set is from the Limited Edition of Yume narishi kuuchuu teien (夢なりし空中庭園) which I received yesterday. This is the set I wanted to get, but by accident I received the second set, the black and white one.

I'm actually a bit confused as from which single or album this last set is. The outfits they are wearing are the same for both Yami yori kurai doukoku no acappella to bara yori akai jounetsu no aria (闇より暗い慟哭のアカペラと薔薇より赤い情熱のアリア) and the Regular Edition of NEW BLOOD ~second impact~. The only difference are the masks which are being used in Yami yori.

I also received a Nyanto-shippo"De"!? signed photo last Wednesday.

As for the package I was talking about in my last post, I did receive it today. More in my next post!

[31] More July loot!

Good evening!

This the the other package that I received two days ago. With this package I can add four new release to my discography! 

The first two are both Regular Edition albums. The first one is from VAMPIRE SAGA which came with a Hiroki sticker. The other is Neo culture ~Beyond the world~

Up next is the Limited Edition Type B of Dying message which came with a Tsunehito trading card. I have this trading card twice right now. The last release in this package is the Regular Edition of Namonaki mori no yumegatari (名もなき森の夢語り) with a Hide-Zou trading card. As a bonus I received a photo set from the same album. 

Now there is one envelop left to post which I received two days ago, as well as another envelop that I received today. I should receive another package tomorrow, if I have to believe the information I get when using my track and trace code. 

More in my next post!

[30] July isn't over...

Konbanwa!

Like I said in my previous post, I received several packages yesterday, so my July loot posts aren't over! I'll start by showing this first package.

I received the Limited Edition Type A of In the name of justice which came with a Ruiza sticker. This is the first sticker I got from this release as both other versions didn't come with one. The second CD in this package is the Limited Edition of Kaze ga Mekuru Page (風がめくる頁). It didn't came with a trading card, although it's new, so I guess this release didn't include a trading card altogether.

Right now, when looking at my (D)iscography, I only need two more releases to have all the Maxi-singles. I still need the Regular Edition of Dearest you, which shouldn't be much of a problem. The other one is Type B of Torikago goten 〜L'Oiseau bleu〜 (鳥籠御殿 〜L'Oiseau bleu〜), which could be a little harder to obtain. Recently I missed my chance to win an auction for it.

Aside from the other package and envelop I still need to post, there is another package on its way. It should arrive within 2 days. If not, I expect to receive it on Monday, which is still July! ^^

More tomorrow!

[29] July loot (2/2?)

Good evening everyone!

Here is the rest of the package that I received yesterday! I got the Limited Edition Type A of Yami no kuni no Alice (闇の国のアリス) which came with a Tsunehito trading card and a post card with all members. I also got the Regular Edition of NEW BLOOD ~second impact~. Now the only version I want to find is the First Press of NEW BLOOD to have all three versions!

In the second picture is the Limited Edition Type B of Neo culture ~Beyond the world~ and the Regular Edition of BIRTH which, believe it or not, was the hardest to find out of all three versions. I ordered this release before but it was cancelled. I'm glad I finally got it now. It came with a trading card with all members.

Lastly, I received three copies of club Zy.MAG Vol.013. This was the March-April issue from 2013. I received three copies of the same magazine before as a gift from a seller. I didn't know this, and before I received the previous three, I already ordered these ones. So now I have six of them.

It seems I have more July loot to post than I expected, since I received two more packages today, plus a small envelop. More in the next post!

[28] July loot (1/2)

Konichiwa!

Today, I received a package with several items! It came with eight CDs/DVDs and three magazines. I'll show four of them today and I'll try to post the rest tomorrow.

The first one is Ultimate lover, a single which was distributed at Shibuya Public Hall on December 6 2006. I received a second copy of the Limited Edition of Tafel Anatomie and I also managed to find the Limited Edition of Yume narishi kuuchuu teien (夢なりし空中庭園), which was only released 5000 times. The last one for this post is a DVD called Dearest you TOUR 2007 Nagoya Shi Geijutsu Souzou Center (Dearest you TOUR 2007 名古屋市芸術創造センター) which includes the making of for the Dearest you music video. There are two other versions from this DVD. While the one I got is from Nagoya, there also is one from Tokyo and one from Osaka.

I forgot to mention this in my (D)iscography post, but I'll update it whenever I receive new releases.

Tomorrow, the rest of this package!

[27] Darker than Darkness

Hello everyone!

Last week, also on a Wednesday, I received this Yami yori kurai doukoku no acappella to bara yori akai jounetsu no aria (闇より暗い慟哭のアカペラと薔薇より赤い情熱のアリア) photo set. It actually came with another set of the same song, but that wasn't the one I wanted. I will send that one back and hopefully I will have the other one soon!

At the time when this single was released, on June 22nd 2005, Rena (レナ) was still in the band as their bassist. A little over a month later, he decided to leave the band during the recording of their first album, The name of the ROSE. Hide-Zou temporarily switched to bass during live performances and their producer, Tatsuya Kase, recorded the bass tracks for The name of the ROSE, which was released on the 28th of September in 2005. Tsunehito joined the band in early December of the same year. On the 8th of February 2006 they re-released the first album with three bonus songs and re-recorded bass tracks from Tsunehito.

If all goes well, I will receive a package tomorrow with more items!! If not, I'll have to wait till Monday ^_^

[26] 10 Days

Konichiwa!

A while ago, D had ten concerts in a row, starting at May 1 2013 till May 10 2013. All ten concerts were held at the Takadanobaba AREA (高田馬場AREA) in Tokyo. The tour was called "D 10th Anniversary Special Premium Live Takadanobaba AREA 10Days".

The first five days were each produced by a different band member. The first day was produced by Hiroki and he named the concert "Infinite power". The second day, Tsunehito produced the concert, which was called "Rumble of the core". The third day was produced by Hide-Zou. His concert was called "限界ギリギリ、武突恥義理!?~全國の兄貴達と姐御達による大集会~", which kind of translates to "Stretched thin, unexpected shame for a warlike with the sense of honor!? ~Big brother and sisters from the entire country, join the great assembly~". The fourth day was produced by Ruiza. He called his concert "Black beauty ~全員最後まで吠えなさい!~" which pretty much means "Bleack beauty ~Everyone, please bark until the end!~". The final day was done by Asagi and he called it "L'amour de Vampire II".

The last five days had a different theme for each concert where they played a specific album. They were called "Album day". In order, they played "The name of the ROSE", "Tafel Anatomie", "Neo culture ~Beyond the world~", "Genetic World" and "7th Rose" on the last day.

A friend of mine was in Japan at the time of the concerts and she went to the second one, which was produced by Tsunehito, her favorite band member. Just like the last time she went to Japan, she brought me something. This time, she bought a Bon Voyage muffler towel at the concert. She didn't have time to come and visit me when she came back to the Netherlands, so instead she mailed me the towel. I received it last week, on Wednesday.

The translation for Hide-Zou was translated with assistance of Sakiyo from the D International Fanclub Facebook page. If you know a better translation, please let me know.

[25] (D)iscography!

Hello everyone!

Finally, here it is, my discography. If I counted correctly, I have 59 62 66 68 72 73 77 78 80 releases, not counting the ones I have twice. I divided the list into several categories, which I got from this page on JaME World. Only the last category, Extra DVDs, is not on that website. This category most likely contains DVDs with making-ofs or commentary videos. They were either given away for free or were only available at specific concerts. I only listed the ones I own and the ones I know their existence of.

The list has three columns. The first one shows whether or not I own the release. For each 'x', I own the release once. The second one shows the release date and the third column shows the title of the release.

If you see an error in my list, or if I forgot something, please let me know!

I'll update my discography whenever I post new releases I receive.

[24] Update display case!

Konichiwa mina-san!

Here is an update on my display case, since my collection grew pretty fast in a short amount of time. Compared to when my dad came over and assembled it, it's a lot less empty now. I even used the two spaces in the legs for two CDs. I tried to display at least one of each of the releases I have and I placed the other versions, together with releases I have twice, at the bottom row. I don't think it will take long for me to decide to add a row or two to the display case! I'm sure my father wouldn't mind doing that for me ^^

My next post will be my discography, finally!






Friday 5 July 2013

[23] Hiroki!

Konbanwa mina-san!

Before I'll post an update on my display case and my discography, here is another package I received this Tuesday.  

The package contained Hiroki trading cards and photos, for the most part. The only other trading card is from Hide-Zou. The two cards on the top left are both from Tightrope. The one next to those is from Day by Day. The last two Hiroki cards are the same and both are from Dying message. The last card from Hide-Zou is from Day by Day.

Lastly, I received three picks from the Genetic World Tour 2009 from Hide-Zou, Tsunehito and Ruiza. I'm still waiting for the day I'll actually receive a pick from one of them at a concert!

Next up, an update on my display case!
