For me, it's either or

This will be the last haul I will be sharing with you all before MH closes.

I didn't know that WANDS had reunited. From what I heard, I like the new material on this album, but I don't really care much for the reworked versions of the older WANDS songs. The self-cover songs aren't bad, but I'm so use of hearing Show's and Jiro's vocals on those tracks for almost 20 years, that it feels odd to hear someone's sing them.

I don't know when the last time I posted one of my hauls, but this is practically everything I bought since July. Wizard - Bribe of Love Wizard - Bribe of Love 2 the Raid. – ウラメシヤ (Type A) GLAY – Ashes.EP (Limited Edition) AILE – CURE FEATHER ~君へ届きますように~ AILE – LOVE FEATHER ~君へ伝えたい事~ BLÜE – BREATH (Limited Edition) Shelly Trip Realize – PRESENT V.A. – LOOP OF LIFE V MAZOHYSTERIA – two Loves V.A. – CANNONBALL vol.2 弾丸 NO LIMIT(Dangan NO LIMIT) – BULLET (Limited Edition) Dog in the PWO - Hotdog Misaruka - Animus II Misaruka - Animus III Mirage - Risk en Eve Fanatic Crisis - Mask (First Pressing) Vidoll - Puzzle Ring (Type A) Pierrot - Celluloid D=OUT / Daizystripper - Onizakura I didn't realize I had the back side of the case showing until after I uploaded this picture. Mirage - Ryuusei

I don't know how accurate my numbers are, it looks like the following for my VK/J-rock collection: 940+ CDs (albums, singles, mini albums, maxi singles) 30+ VHS tapes and DVDs 30 Vinyl LPs, EPs, and singles 10 Cassette Tapes 5 Autograph boards 15 Posters 40+ Magazines 50+ photos (most of them being 1st generation VK bands) 10+ flyers I don't know the exact numbers for my CDs or my VHS/DVDs because my bookcase is a hot mess 99.9% of the time and I still have a cardboard box that has about 100 CDs sitting next to it. If I included the rest of my CD collection (mostly J-pop, K-pop, glam rock/glam metal artists), I would have about 200+ more CDs in my collection on top of my VK/J-rock collection.

My recent Rarezhut purchase that I bought myself for my birthday. The second and third picture is what I got from the "Lucky Bag" while the first picture was my main order.

I can't remember if I have posted the CD, yet, but this my recent VK haul. The Dead Pop Stars - Stream Genkaku Allergy - Live DVD #3 (I didn't realize I had the back side of the case up and upside down on top of that.) I really hope Sceana hasn't released anymore of these DVDs for Genkaku Allergy since this one was expensive to track down.

Not too much this time around. Most of it's KPOP related. Dog in the PWO - アンハッピードッグデイズ (Limited Version) Wink - Night Tempo Presents THE SHOWA GROOVE EPs The majority of TRAX's discography. Just missing the Scorpio and Rhapsody releases. H.O.T. - I yah! (Taiwanese Pressing)

I haven't been able to post what I have purchased recently because I've been working 12 hours/7 days a week since November. Too lazy to post exactly what I got. The Dog in the PWO single is extra copy of one that I already owned, but I haven't opened it to see which bonus cover was included. Also, here's my recent KPOP trash haul just because no one asked for it.

Be warn, I have crap taste in music. Also, this list took me forever to make. VK: Kamaitachi BY-SEXUAL Strawberry Fields Aura GLAY Color Decameron Baiser La'Mule Lareine Aion NéiL Panic Channel KuRt Vasalla Ladies Room Tokyo Yankees Wizard Kuroageha Irokui Lolita 23q SuG D=OUT MASK Gilles de Rais Dog in the PWO DuelJewel Aliene Ma'riage Japanese Metal/J-rock (some of these bands can considered VK, but I don't consider them VK): Loudness EZO/Flatbacker G.D.Flickers Ziggy Sharam Q A-Chief Earthshaker Grand Slam Gastunk Passion Rose The Street Sliders Pink Sapphire Shady Dolls Wands J-pop: Morning Musume KAT-TUN Dream (the original line-up releases) SweetS C-ute Namie Amuro K-rock: Sinawe TRAX The Buzz Boohwal EVE Crash K-pop: Girls' Generation KARA Twice BTS Red Velvet Wonder Girls H.O.T Baby V.O.X Western Music: Hanoi Rocks ABBA New York Dolls Mott the Hoople Iron Maiden Judas Priest Cinderella LA Guns Faster Pussycat Megadeth Exodus Power Trip David Bowie Slade Prince Bauhaus The Cure The Cramps Chicago Deep Purple Rainbow Clara Moroni (aka Cherry, Leslie Parrish, Priscilla, Vicky Vale, and a tons of other Eurobeat artist aliases.)

Nothing too crazy other than I bought a boat load of Glay CDs because I've been on a Glay kick the past couple of weeks. Fatima - M:I-44 Fatima - Downer Glay - The Frustrated Glay - One Love Laputa - e.m.a.d.a.r.a Glay - Beloved Glay - Unity Roots & Family, Away Glay - BEATout! Fatima - Noble King Snake Fatima - SSB Kneuklid Romance - Puzzle Kneuklid Romance - Love Song Dog in the PWO - Doggy StyleX

I'm really sad I couldn't choose oyaji kei for my favorite type of visual kei. I'm also with everyone else with the last question. Maybe you could have mixed some more mainstream or other types of vk acts from that period into the selection pool or include a wider generation range of artists by including some earlier era vk acts and/or some recent vk acts.

Gaz is now forever going to be replace by someone that's been in a band with Okamoto Ryoji and Oonishi Hiroyuki whenever Malice Mizer or Kneuklid Romance do their one off revivals? First Sakura, and now Kaede. It amuses me to see this as a fan of both Zigzo and test-No. to see this as a pattern.

The only VK-related movie I ever watched was Dynamite Tommy's Attitude and I own it because why not have a horrible movie with a bunch of musicians from the first wave of VK or the late '80s Japanese hard rock scene that can't act what so ever. I don't know how many people here have seen it, but it's one of those movies you have to watch to see the how much of a hot mess it is as it is super hard to describe what's going on 90% of the time.
