I'm selling a few extra copies of CDs that I have acquired over the years.

I usually only use Yahoo Auctions Japan and either Rinkya or J-subculture for my deputy service. However, I have several friends that live in Japan that search for stuff me if I'm looking for non-VK releases. But 90% of the bands I get stuff of rarely goes over 500 yen unless it's a rare release.

I remember back in the day when I first got into VK, there was only one version of a single/album. Now, there's like multiple copies of a release and you don't have to wait for a year to 2 years for a PV collection video release if you want the music videos. I'm a person that likes to watch music videos to stare at the pretties. One thing I love about visual kei is how many friends I have made in real life due to it. I wanna give a special shout out to X Japan, Dir en Grey, and Malice Mizer; if it wasn't for your pictures plastered all over my 8th grade locker, I wouldn't have met my boyfriend of 12 years. I also like how the fandom has mellowed out a lot in my 17 years of being into VK. I can't tell if it's because we're all getting older or if the more "energetic"/"dramatic" fans hopped over to the K-pop fandom. I haven't really met any younger/teen VK fans that makes me want to flip tables like I did 10 or even 5 years ago.

More old junk I bought. It's mostly G.D. Flickers stuff, but I finally got the album Marry played on. Color - 大復活 G.D. Flickers - G.D.

This was really hard for me to post due to my BPD and anxiety issues I suffer from, but with some prodding support from my boyfriend and our tattoo artist roommate, I finally build up enough courage to share some of my doodles. Most of these are from the past year, I usually only draw when my anxiety and depression aren't dragging me down too badly. I can't draw digitally, but I sure do try. XD I usually do mix medium drawings; line work done with pencil/ink and coloring done in photoshop. I some times do pure traditional art. (My scanner fudged up the last drawing.) I rarely draw non-chibi style characters, but here's some line-art of some mecha pilot fan-art that I never finished coloring. >.<; These were a part of a series of fan-art I was doing with reinvisioning lead Tomino/Sunrise anime characters in my style. These were the first "non-chibi" drawings I done in like 5 years. All these below took me like 30 minutes a piece to pencil and ink.

Only one CD for this week. I managed to score this for $20. The Piass - 猟奇絞殺窒息死

Color: A shit sandwich Kamaitachi: The Japanese bootleg version of Toy Dolls that ripped off a song by The Boys BY-SEXUAL: Ryo's and Den's 30 Bromance Part I ~the early days Sister's No Future: The shit sandwich's and the Toy Dolls Japanese bootleg's love child. Loudness: I heard a member of X Japan was once in this band. I actually have heard the Loudness one once. :|

They originally had me excited with Ladies Rooms, Tokyo Yankees, and Gargoyle. But, hell, I would never thought Sho would be so willing to rejoin the other three for another show. I'm not surprised Kamaitachi reuniting again, since their last reunion was last year. I had that feeling Kamaitachi were going to be at this because of all of the other original wave of VK bands that were popping up. I'm thinking She-ja is going to fill in for Kazzy like he did last year. So now...when is Color going to be announced? I'm pretty sure Dynamite Tommy, Cindy, and Toshi probably wouldn't mind a one off show. (I don't know if Tatsuya would join, since he really has been out of the music scene since Marry died.) I mean Cindy and Toshi does those Pucchi Color shows during the Marry Memorial concert every year. To replace Marry they probably have Den fill in or get former Color member Remmy to play bass. I hope more of these old farty VK bands that I adore get announced. I don't think I've been this pumped up in a long time.

Here's an update on my collection. I left a few things out due to them being boxed up and I couldn't remember what boxes they were in. Odds & Ends VHS & DVD CDs Vinyl Magazines + Magazine Clippings Photobooks & Tour Booklets Posters

Kamaitachi + post-Kamaitachi bands - $3,000; It might be more than that as the price of their merch has been going up lately. Color - $1,000; I just shelled out $100 for a VHS I didn't have last week, if that puts anything into prospective. Prices for the more rare releases/merch is going up again. :| BY-SEXUAL + bands that Ryo & Den were in post BS (test-no./Pt.) - $1,000 Early Free-Will bands in general - $1,000 that hasn't been already listed.

I got more stuff of bands that no one cares about anymore. (More for me. :P) Anarchy - 亜無亜危異 都市 LP Jacks 'n' Joker - Joker (Rockin' F vinyl single) Color - Fools! Get Lucky! (Rare green version) Amphibian - Doppelganger Octopus Cult - Deadstock Phantom (I got an extra copy of Smashing Peaceful Society when I bought this, though :<) A bunch of old magazines featuring ancient VK bands. A lot of BY-SEXUAL and Luna Sea magazine clippings. (I only wanted the B-S clippings, but they were being sold as a batch. :\) I also got three band t-shirts today: G.I.S.M, Gastunk, and Poison Art. :3

I ordered this like three months ago because I didn't want the VHS or laserdisk version and I forgot I even ordered it. XD Loudness - Welcome to the Slaughter House DVD

R.I.P Sonya (or whatever your real name is), the hardcore crazies will find you before you know it. Those crazy bangyas will figure out who she is just from the little stories and info she gave in that article.

I'm currently bidding on another copy of that tape, but I end up losing that auction, I might have to do a ghost bid since I'm going to be busy the weeks that auctions are going on. The down side of dating a musician that can't drive and likes to have shows 4+ hours away. XD

It's no big deal. To be honest, I only wanted the STRAWBERRY ROAD VOL.1 LIVE tape and was planning on trading in the other tapes to you guys if I did win that auction. If I knew it was you guys that was bidding against me, I would have waited to buy that VHS from this auction. XD

I see you guys must have been the people that outbidded me on that lot of VHSes that had that Strawberry Road Vol. 1 VHS and Silver Rose tapes several weeks back. XD

Fuck yeah. I've been wait for Lezyna to come back in an actual band for 8 years. I would have rather have a Strawberry Fields reunion, but I'm not gonna be picky if it means Lezyna is not going to be in only session bands.

So apparently none of the crap I buy likes to come the same day and I hate flooding this thread. I got this rare beauty today. I have no idea if it was purchasable or given away for free during Decameron's last tour, but you could only get it if you went to their shows.

So the package of old band posters arrived today. I was hoping this would have came yesterday, but whatever. Ladies Room poster Decameron poster Kamaitachi poster Genkaku Allergy poster Octopus Cult poster So many Sceana-related posters...

Dog in the PWO - 7th Wonder (Type A) D=OUT - Laugh Play (Limited Version)

My taste in Japanese music is still as trashy as it was 6 years ago when the last time I did this for a different forum I went to, except I'm starting to re-visit albums from the 1990s.

My phone was being super cranky with me when I took these... >.> All of the newer stuff I bought off of a friend who's getting out of the VK fandom.
