[15] Photo collection

Hello everyone!

It has been a while, but here is another order from the big treasure box I received a while ago. This time there are no CDs or DVDs, but a collection of photos. 

When I unpacked this order from the box, I noticed that one of the photos was bent in the corner. I managed to bend it back without leaving a big crease, but sadly, it is still visible. This could have been easily prevented if it had been packaged better. The CDs and DVDs where packaged just fine though. 

From the top, from left to right: I received three photos from BIRTH. Two of them have the same image, but one of them is in a sepia tone and has an autograph from Asagi on it. I'm not really certain if this autograph is printed or handwritten. I also got three from Yami no kuni no Alice (闇の国のアリス). Two of them have the same image. The only difference between the two is that one of them has the Avex Trax logo on the front while the other has it on the back. 

The big image from Tightrope in the middle is the one which was bent in the bottom left corner. On this image are some messages and autographs from all five members. This has been printed on the image. The next one from Day by Day also has printed messages and autographs on it. 

The last two photos on the bottom are from a photo shoot in CURE (キュア) Magazine Vol. 33. This was the June issue from 2006. I'm not sure if these outfits were used in a music video, but I don't think they are. If they are, please tell me, because I don't recognize them. 
14-09-13: They are from the Regular Edition of Yume narishi kuuchuu teien (夢なりし空中庭園).

I also received a pen, a set of chopsticks and the pendant from the Official Fan Club, Ultimate Lover. The last thing from this order is a D logo pendant. 

Six more orders left. More than halfway done!

[10] CURE Magazine Vol. 115

Konichiwa!

The latest addition to my collection, which I received a week ago, on May 7, is volume 115 from CURE (キュア) Magazine. This was the April issue from 2013. This edition features photos from their 10th Anniversary, wearing the outfits for the new style of Night-ship "D". The photos in the magazine are of great quality and show a lot of details, which will come in handy for future cosplays.

The website I bought it from included a few bonus items. Although not from D, free items are always nice. I received three postcards from bands soon to perform in Germany, which is where the shop is located. The bands being Satsukithe GazettE and DEATHGAZE. Furthermore, I received a 2013 calendar and a card, both with an anime style mascot from the website. The mascot was on the front of the package too.

That's my entire collection, for now. I'm expecting a huge package full with D merchandise, but it seems to be delayed. It's at customs for a week now already while it only took three days for the package to arrive from Japan in the Netherlands.
