[34] It keeps coming...

Good morning!

It's 2:00 AM in the morning right now, and I decided to make a post which shows the rest of the ordered items which came in the package together with Alice which I received a while ago. My collection keeps growing fast!

First, the ONE MAN TOUR 2007 Neo culture TOUR FINAL 8.25 (sat) Hibiya Yagai Dai Ongakudou (日比谷野外大音楽堂) DVD. On this release are the making-ofs for Ouka saki some ni keri (桜花咲きそめにけり) and Schwarzschild. The second one is Shiroi Yoru (白い夜). This single was distributed at SHIBUYA O-EAST on the 17th of February 2005.

As for the last two CDs in this post, I got the Regular Edition of Genetic world which came with an Asagi trading card and a Genetic world Jishuban Club (自主盤倶楽部) DVD. With this release I have all three versions from Genetic world. I also got a second copy of the Limited Edition Type A of Day by Day. It came with a Hide-Zou trading card.

The last few photos show some other goodies. I received the Official Bath Salts from The name of the ROSE. In this box are 5 sachets with bath salts, although I'm not planning on using them anyway, even if we had a bathtub. It also came with a trading card from Schwarzschild.

The last two photos show two postcard sets. The first one is from Taiyou wo okuru hi (太陽を葬る日) and the second one from The Name of the ROSE. I'm really happy that I won the auction for these two sets, since the second set has autographs on the postcards and it happens to be from one of my favorite songs, Sleeper.

In my next post I'll show a few gifts I received from the seller which came with the package. I'll also show my first loot from this month in another post!

[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!

[20] I love customs! ^_^

Hello everyone!

On June 7, I received a package which I ordered a while ago. It took longer than usual to arrive compared with other packages from the same web shop. When I finally got it, I was charged an extra €20,35, which made it clear that the package was delayed because of customs, while it shouldn't even have been to customs at all. The total price of this package was €35, without shipping costs. The package was marked as a gift, which is free of tax up to €45. If the package wasn't marked as gift, the extra costs I had to pay would have been correct. Even then, €20,35 extra costs for a package which is worth €35 is an increase of about 58%, which is ridiculous. I still need to send an objection letter about this, to try to get my money back. 

Even though I had to pay extra, I'm still very happy that the package arrived safely. Since it took longer I was afraid it wouldn't arrive anymore at all. As for the contents, I received two CDs and an unrelated magazine. I got the Limited Edition of Schwarzschild and the Limited Edition Type A of Day by Day, with a trading card of all members. With these, I got all editions of both these CDs. 

For now, this is my entire collection. I have more incoming, but in the meanwhile, I'm planning on showing my cosplay in more detail, as well as updated photos from my display case. 

[19] Last order! (Part 2/2)

Konbanwa mina-san!

This is the second and last post of the final order. This time, I will show the last seven CDs out of the 15 in total. From the top, from left to right: First off, I received the Regular Edition of Taiyou wo okuru hi (太陽を葬る日). Next is the Regular Edition of Schwarzschild, which is the second copy I got out of the same box. Snow White is the third Regular Edition I received. It came with a trading card with all members on it. 

Next two CDs are the Regular Edition and the Limited Edition Type B of Day by Day. The Limited Edition came with a Hiroki trading card. The final two for this order are the Regular Edition and the Limited Edition Type B of Yami no kuni no Alice (闇の国のアリス). This is my second copy of the Regular Edition. The Limited Edition came with a trading card with all members. 

The box is finally empty, but in the meanwhile I received another package, which I will show in the next post!

[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!
