[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!

[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.

[22] Wanted!

Hello everyone!

My discography will have to wait, again, since I received a package today, a week after I bought it, which was sooner than expected. In this package were two items I ordered, and a few free items added by the seller. One of the ordered items is something my girlfriend bought for me as a birthday present!

The present I got is a set of five autographed posters which initially was only sold at their 10th Anniversary Special Premium Live "Bon Voyage!" concert at Shibuya Koukaidou on April 12 2013. On these posters, they are wearing their outfits from the new Night-ship"D". They are 728mm long and 515mm wide in size, which is somewhat smaller in size than A1 paper size.

While typing this post, I found out that the signed posters are still in stock at Rosen-Kranz. They still have 35 sets left, if you are interested. They don't ship overseas so you need a proxy service to buy from there, or you need a friend in Japan ^^

Also, I got the D Tour 2008 Alice in Dark edge FINAL〜LIVE ALBUM + PHOTO BOOK. This version comes with a B5-sized photobook and a desk calendar starting at April 2009 and ends at March 2010. It did surprise me that the CD isn't in a hard case, but instead it's on the last page of the photobook.

The seller, which I regularly buy items from, gave me some free items once again. She gave me three copies of club Zy.MAG Vol.013. This was the March-April issue from 2013. The ironic part is, I already bought an auction over a month ago for the same magazine. And this auction was also for three copies. So in a while, I'll have six of them...

She also gave me a photo set with the outfits from the song Barairo no Hibi (薔薇色の日々) from the album Neo culture ～Beyond the world～. Lastly, I got two different trading cards from Asagi's solo single, Corvinus. I noticed I forgot to show the trading card from the single I already own, so I added it with this picture. 

Next up, perhaps my discography?

[13] Bon Voyage!

Konichiwa!

Besides the Treasure Box, D also released a 10th anniversary single, called Bon Voyage!. This single was only available at their 10th Anniversary Special Premium Live "Bon Voyage!" concert at Shibuya Koukaidou on April 12 2013. Thankfully, there were a few people who put them up for auction after the concert. 

Speaking of a single only being available at a concert, I also got Mayutsuki no hitsugi (繭月の棺). This single was for sale at three concerts in November 2004 in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka. There is no difference in songs between the three. The only difference is the cover, and the city name at the end of the title. I got my hands on the first version, the Tokyo one, called Mayutsuki no hitsugi ～Tokyo uka～ (繭月の棺 ～東京羽化～).

After these two orders, eight more to go.
