So Ao held a poll on twitter for his followers to choose between "ただいま。" and "ママが僕をすててパパが僕をおかした日" to remake and distribute for free to all attendees of the 11th Feb 2021 gig and "ママが僕をすててパパが僕をおかした日" won by an overwhelmingly huge margin. 

No elaboration on why its cited as a 'special cut' but its available to anyone with a credit card!

Can't decide which since i'd like to go to Osaka and Nagoya

If me, I'll go for 1st session, since they are broadcasting the 2nd session.

It's also in the picture I put up, but kind of hard to see.

Yeah, I took some time to finally figure out the ins and outs of the options haha. I'll most probably get all the guest passes and spacy guitar options available via twitcasting, since they are priced so economically (shuuji, I'm looking at you 🙄). My only concern is that the download code is tied with the more expensive (and less accessible) e+ streaming on the final date zzzzz

You are the Prompter - 14,000 yen 😭

The camera will be at the prompter and you'll basically be having eye contact with shuuji through 80% of the live (probably).

I know what YOU are getting~ But ouch, that price! Must be shuuji's idea. 

This article:

http://vif-music.com/2020/08/26/caligari-41/

mentions a download code for a song will be given out for concert attendees (both physical and online) as well.

Just throw in a download card (and make it FLAC please) and save money on production costs!

Their download card releases has been consistently 160kbps or 192kbps so don't get your hopes up!

Get the 狂信盤 version of the  回想、睡蓮と向日葵 DVD if you can; the 4th documentary disc is worth it. Though it comes with a useless 2nd disc of the same 11 songs out of the 24 songs seen on the 1st disc WTF why why why

Awww... why do you think so? Is it not that different, or not as good as the first version?

Eh, its the same as the single, just that its performed live and I never liked that song in the 1st place so.... 😗 I wonder why they tacked that song into the CD though; kinda out of place.

I do kinda kick myself for not getting 回想 when I put in my suruga-ya order.

You are referring to the CD of mp3s that came as a present for pre-ordering the 回想、睡蓮と向日葵 DVD? I wonder why CDs like these are still being released when one can easily rip mp3s from the DVDs as well...

Edit: The CD is titled "残響、睡蓮と向日葵 II" while the DVD is titled '回想、睡蓮と向日葵'. My bad   😗

I do have 再教育 & 再教育 改訂版 though?

 .....then I doubt there's anything else that you lack, unless you wanna conquer the VHS segment of their discography as well 😗

because not sure it's worth getting 

• 残響、睡蓮と向日葵 for 1 extra track 

If you are referring to "キセキニイル(ライヴアレンジver.)", nah, its not worth it. But I love the '憧憬、睡蓮と向日葵' mini-album so its worth it for me to get live versions of the songs. 

The 2001 & 2011 versions of "再教育"  are remastered differently so you might want to consider those as well? 

The shirt looks really cool and there's a very small photo of the band as well. Price is alright too; its normally 6000yen for similar oversized tees

@sads123 Already signed up for premium! I'll be at work during the concert😔, but promise a recording in the evening.

Thanks for the update! I'll concentrate my resources on other gigs during the period then LOL. Will you be using OBS? I finally mastered that program hahaha

The 8th Aug gig will be livestreamed on niconico for free:

The encore portion is only available to niconico premium members though. @crossparallel, you thinking what I'm thinking? 😆 

Sharaku had a an acoustic gig livestream with Ao yesterday:

Ao played his set of 10 songs (setlist in the link), thereafter Sharaku played his set of 8 (which includes his solo songs, a cover of lab the basement's '狂い蝉が叫んだ朝に' & cali gari's '冬の日'). Ao came in to join him afterwards for 2 more songs before they ended the stream. Sharaku didn't share his setlist though.

And yeah, Ao was wearing a wig when he played covers of female singers during his set and didn't want to take it off. Oh Ao~

Ao also indicated that for the cali gari x deadman gigs postponed to 2021, he will create another song with deadman for those gigs:

Just copy/paste an image url ending in .jpg/png/gif and hit the spacebar, and the image should embed automatically.

Thanks for the advice but I can't get it to work so nevermind LOL

In other news, if anyone has written fan-fic of Makoto (ex- cali gari drummer) in a Malice Mizer cover band, you are in luck!

The site accepts international credit cards so its available to everyone!

Here's a clearer photo of the T-shirt:

According to friend of friend, the front of the Tshirt is totally blank.

And here's the front of that 5000 yen CD:

Curiously, no one is selling it on mercari or yahoo auctions yet.

And apparently during the gig, Ao taunted the audience who are wearing masks:

"You all are dying to make some noise, right...."

Oh Ao~~~

Someone has got to teach me how to post images here someday... 😞

and let me tell you 狂い蝉が叫んだ朝に_demo is a wild ride with harmonica and acoustic guitar👌👌

 

NooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOO~~~~~~~~

Anyhoo, updated my post with cali gari's setlist; quite a mixed bag. And I find it weird that they didn't advertise that cali gari X deadman collaboration CD nor post any photos of it.

And 10 songs for the upcoming Blue Film 'revivial' CD; assuming "Sex On The Beach" is one of them, there will be 2 unknown songs. Curiouser and curiouser....

in other news this was delivered today👀

So YOU were the one who bought that Lab CD! 😡 

Just when I went "fuck it, I'll just regret my life decisions in a few weeks then" and went into Mercari to find the listing and its no longer there!!! 😭

Here's deadman's setlist for today (will update again if and when cali gari's setlist is up)  cali gari's setlist is up!:

So a friend of a friend is attending the cali gari X deadman gig today and has bought that 5000yen (yes, five thousand yen, no typo) CD with 4 songs. Here's a picture of it:

Let the bidding war in yahoo auctions begin!!!

Oh, and the rest of the 4 cali gari X deadman gigs are postponed to 2021 with no definite dates.

I'm even tempted now to get the one-track hernia CD (even though from what I'm told, the track is just "Hernia I" so nothing new), only because the mini album box has a sleeve for it.

The hernia from that one track CD is more distorted & 'chaotic' than the album version, so its still worth a purchase IMO.

This might be a long shot, but has anyone here heard the studio version of ラストダンス? I'm sort of on the fence about getting a copy, because I heard the live version and was not impressed! The saxophone just kinda ruined it for me 😕

 The studio version has a keyboard playing the saxophone parts you hear in the youtube video.

but now i have three four extra CDs that i already had owned.......

Ah, the pitfalls of bulk purchasing in 2nd hand markets.... Why not sell them off at puresound or closet child or disk union to clear your inventory? Let me know which outlet offers the best prices cos that's what I'm doing when convid is over 😗

Huh? a couple weeks ago I was finally buying stuff to fill out my cali gari collection & I only paid 240 yen for 舌先3分サイズ when I ordered it, definitely not 10,000... unless you're talking about some special version or something

Seimeisen was referring to '[2017.09.09] 舌先3分サイズ ver.2.0' that was given out at one of the 3 anniversary gigs. It used to sell for 20000yen in mercari and people actually bought it.

The other 2 are:

[2017.09.02] マグロ－電車は急に止まれない篇－
[2017.09.23] 青春狂騒曲 凌雲立志篇

Or maybe you got a great deal and got the 2.0 version for 240yen????

5 hours ago, Seimeisen said:

Because people are fucking batshit! And not all of those singles plummeted, マグロ is still ¥5,000 if you can find it, and 舌先3分サイズ, which seems even rarer, goes for ¥10,000+ I think(?). I’m just lowkey kicking myself for not knowing about it when it was on Ao’s shop.

I remember fans snatching the "Album 13 commentary Disc" (which you are supposed to play the disc at the same time as the '13' album where the members comment on the tracks) at 4500yen a piece in mercari/yahoo auctions after it was 1st released at live concerts. Now no one wants to buy it at 1300yen; weird.

Ah... the elusive Rha's Al Ghul Gorgoneion CD, sold at 1 particular sold out live at a tiny venue. Good catch! Hope you didn't pay an arm & an leg for it 😬

A part of me feels like I could have done more. I was also eyeing a copy of the オヤスミナサイ re-recording EP for ¥8,200, which is a ridiculous price, but still tempting considering how it normally goes for ¥14,000, but someone else took it 🙄

I don't get why the price for this in the 2nd hand market is so high; its a pre-order bonus for the オヤスミナサイ DVD so there would have been quite a huge number of fans who have it, no? Even the DVD boxset itself isn't sold for such a high price. I remember observing the prices of the 3 live distributed CDs (that are now included in the オヤスミナサイ re-recording EP) in 2nd hand markets plummeting once the EP was announced LOL

@Tokage, are you a major shareholder of Mercari stock????

@anakuro, argh, I don't like lotteries and there's no prize that really interests me other than that mystery CD with a demo song that was supposedly also one of the lottery prizes for buying badges (different variations from this ) at their "2019 LAST GIGS 極月喰らい、三つの煩悩 -akuśala-mūla-". I suppose no one won it then? 

And I could have sworn that ATM bag was sold during one of the tours....

cali≠gari has just released 「淫美まるでカオスな -BRAND NEW 2020- 」on trading cards (?) with a download code at 500 yen a piece on Ao's online store from now till 18th Jul:

Sneaky move to make fans subconsciously buy other merch on top of a card.... Unless you are fine with paying for shipping & postage for a mere card.
