Yeah…I’m a little late on the B’z single and two GLAY albums in the first order. I was a little hesitant to get the GLAY albums at first because I have most of the songs on them already. They each come with a bonus DVD of a never officially released concert, including the very first concert I ever watched of them. I guess the sentimental value was enough. Should be receiving them next week or so because everything on that order has been released already. I chose to have each order shipped when all of the items on it have been released so I can save on shipping. Unfortunately, it still costs an arm and a leg to import Japanese music here ~_~.

Should be well worth it in the end! I’m dying to watch LUNA SEA’s comeback concert at Tokyo Dome, and in high definition no less :). I’ve started ordering AKB’s new singles from two places recently. The external photos that usually come as the first press bonus are different depending where you buy from. Great way to boost sales considering there’s like 7-8 places selling these singles with different photos XD. On top of that, each “type” of the regular and limited edition comes with a different cover, explaining why I just got them all (or does it?).

Really looking forward to getting all of this! I’ll probably be adding on more new releases as they get announced.
