Oh i forgot one 0 -.- makes sense sure everyone has to do that, but differently and music is taxed very high with all sorts of things i think that's why cds are so expensive in Japan. also dvds (movie dvds too) cost a lot ...

there are different taxes you have to pay. like in EU, too when you work. a worker pays many taxes and so does a musician. USA is on 1st place when it comes to taxing music, japan is second, Germany is 3rd... I dunno how high the taxing is. but 8% is just the VAT (everyone needs to pay when buying items) that's not too much >D (around 8843€) but not too bad either. still they are a small lable. Sure they'll call it rare or limiterd but it's not a bitch fight over "i have one out of XY"!...you just have a limited cd >D

This is another tax. that is what the buyers pay and not what the musicians pay to produce the music. When I do interviews and ask the bands what they'd do if they were prime minister for a day they'd erase taxes on music. Yeah but Kiwamu has a lable so he wants to gain money and that's why the production is set to "overseas" in cheaper countries. also i don't think he makes super much money as like other bands do, because the bands under his lable aren't super popular. I bought the dvd yes, because I like the band and want to support them as much as I can. At a live i'd buy the other things over CDs/DVDs I just don't like the limited thing. it's this 100 copies only..i don't mind that there are just 100 copies...or maybe only 50....but better write down as long as available, like kyo does with his stuff. it just sounds nicer, somehow. so no one knows how many there actually are, people buy it faster ^.~ cause it could be out of stock anytime. also this "i own something super rare" thing isn't likely to occur that easily. I just made bad experiences with that "I have a XYnumber limited thing". and yes i own such things too but I am not thinking of me as something better...but sadly many VK fans do ._.

for me they replied since i needed to chance my address. I preordered a cd 2 months before the release and well will be on holiday in 2 weeks so i'd like to send it to my grandparents since no one is at my appartment

and this is not true T3B did not sell well sometimes too, sometimes it was better, but they disbanded due to an other reason! and still taxes are super high on music stuff in Japan. that's why a cd costs tons of money...singles for 1200 yen... that's normal no matter if you compare pop, VK or other things...it's always around that price. (excluding bands like dir en grey and gazette where a single can be up to 5400yen) sure sometimes it changes but most things don't. For me, as I support the bands I like, i pay it! But thinking of it, bands are not making money through selling cds...no...they make money with all the other stuff they sell, like cheki, rubberband, shirts and so on. 'casuse a cd lable just earns from cd sales and not from other things the band has. buy a cd instore a band gets around 7% of the price. buy it live it's 12% (not those bands without lable/ or their own lable, they get the 100% on lives) buy a shirt or cheki, the band just needs to substract the producion cost and the rest is for them and no one else.

Mini en grey (grieva) for me since i never was into metis gretel >D

Unsraw for me but i liked both bands ^^ - it was a bit difficult to decide but thinking of it bit more, i prefered unsraw ^^

that's good to hear!

Guys are you ready for the show on friday? We are packed with new music and bands - ready to present you another round of Diablolic Bento box We start at 2pm. CET and go for 2 hours Please listen at Radio Diabolus

prices are that high because of high taxes in Japan... i know all the other bands which are pretty expensive...but i always say - as long fans pay nothing will change...even if some complain. same with the VIP ticket in EU and USA...as long as the fans pay nothing will change

I know that kiwamu knows that - as a fact i am working with that man! He's not stupid... Also japanese fans support more than one band - not all but many...my japanese friends and I have many in common also if they just cannot affort going to lives of all the bands they like. I don't have a problem with shopping and shipping inside japan...so doesn't matter if he adds them to the overseas shop or not. If I want stuff, I can always get it.

first they introduce themselves then he's talking about the release of their first minialbum that they are doing brutal death metal he says that they have a live at America mura in osaka - i think "that everyone should come to see them" and that they were deviloof he's talking fast >D i did not understand everything he said >DDD

I dunno how many they have. i went to lives where there were many people and there were lives where only 5 people came for Fixer It's not always a face of how many fans they have. it's also a fact of, how much does it cost and what else do i need from other bands

I know i have one of those copies ordered so but i still don't like the 100 copies only thing

~_~ again 100 pieces... i freaking hate them v.v

It's finally out i knew it for about a month or so but i pomised not to tell anyone ^^

nope they did not ^^ they had a break because members left and then came back with VK ^^

Hei and welcome here ^^

pokes ^^ taking offers too

i definitely need that one =3

okay strange Noah said, they opened the webstore for INternational because many fans from oversea asked for the Eternal single that's why I wonder a little

I can ask my friend if she can order it or if i can send it to her normally the webstore and stuff is open for oversea, as far as i know

I went to see the new movie 2 days ago and it was amazing i really liked the movie plot and stuff. and i also think the silvermine prequel in the anime was perfectly fitting + it was funny
