"君と見る風の行方(kimi to miru kaze no yukue)" lyrics:

見上げれば　満天の星空が広がって
一粒の命みたい　瞳の上を滑っていく
大きすぎて見えないことばかりだね　この世界は
二人なら　二人なら　もっと遠くまで見えるのかな

空をつきぬけ風になって　雲の上まで飛んでいきたい
星の海と背中合わせて　駆け抜けたい
ため息代わりに雲を吹き　涙の代わりに雨降らせ
君と生きる世界の中で　目で見える希望を探そう

今日が少しつらくても　負けているわけじゃない
明日には笑っている　そうやって生きられるはずさ

肌を撫で　通り抜ける　この風を　知っている
少しだけ　見せてくれ　その自由　その力を

空をつきぬけ風になって　雲の上まで飛んでいきたい
星の海と背中合わせて　駆け抜けたい
ため息代わりに雲を吹き　涙の代わりに雨降らせ
君と生きる世界の中で　目で見える希望を探そう

摩天楼オペラ(matenrou opera) has opened their concept site "The Elements" at 2015/04/06 with concept of five elements - Water, Earth, Fire, Air and Ether
 
the last one "Ether" refers to their new maxi single "ether", and I wonder whether other 4 elements refer to their forthcoming CDs

Supply and demand.
Also, for most indie bands overseas fans are not of the utmost importance. Some indie bands give no fucks about overseas fans at all, and why should they? We are an unreliable source of income. Indie bands have little money to work with, so they need to cater activities and funds to where they get the most return for their money to continue band activities. Teenagers halfway across the globe do not factor into that at all.
 
If enticing people to come to your concert by releasing a CD available only at that concert brings fans into the hall, more power to them! At the end of the day, continuing band activities takes prime precedence. I don't like them as much as the next person but it's a more viable way to boost ticket sales than releasing a single in multiple types. In that context I can understand why they exist. If the song were made more easily available at a later date, there would be little incentive for live-limited releases. They would lose almost all their "appeal".
 
Now what I don't like are predatory practices in which you have to spend way more money than the song is subjectively worth but this isn't common. A good example of this is during Lycaon's erotic era, where you had to attend three different concerts and bring the stubs to the tour final to get a CD. That sounds like a gigantic pain in the ass and they're using the lure of an exclusive song to get fans to part with money. This kind of activities I don't like, but I can't find it within myself to care if I'm not even the target audience to begin with.
 
Really, the only reason why none of us like them is because it's a pain in the ass for us to acquire most of them. But I don't remember anyone complaining when ALSDEAD released Fragile only in Europe during a tour so it goes both ways.
