If you want I can buy a copy for you.

I might buy their tape tomorrow, depending on the price.

^ well but here are some things that people mention which is not always true. i started to have contact with Japanese fans 6 years ago? and got to know quite a lot of different people. i am in japan now and attend a lot of lives. therefore i got to know certain fanbases as well. some of the people i know are hardcore fans which follow the band arround, some of them are friends with the members and so on. the bands i am talking about are small and big ones, bands from kiwi's label, key party bands, loop ash bands and big bands like d or buck-tick. most fans i have met are freeter, neeter or secretaries. that means their income is about 2000-2200 dollar uppermost. most of them earn way less. (some of them do have other jobs but they are rare). most of them complain about the high prices of the cds and merch. it is even for japanese standarts expensive. most of the fans i have spoken to (please note that the age was between 18 and 50+) do not buy all the shit the band brings out, most of them buy one or two releases. they do not want those cds either. at least the people i have met (and that is quite a bunch). oh yes and most of those fans i have met like more than one band. they do not just listen to one.

I don't think that we do not have an influence. especially smaller bands care about their fans from overseas.

^ Oh it was not expensive for me. I drank as much as I could when I went there (I went there on my birthday because I had nothing else to do XD). I paid only 500 yen per drink which is cheap for Tokyo.

Hm the prices seem to be fair and the food sounds nice (not quite sure whether it tastes/looks nice). I might give it a go. Less expensive than Shun's bar as far as I can see it.

I guess no chance to get information about that topic. I asked before as well. I would love to know what Rei is up to. (-___-)

How is their music? I might want to go to their live because I am a huge key party fan but I also consider going to a D live (there are 5 or 6 next week).

Not quite sure where to post it but apparently, KöHey from Sleep My Dear seems to be a chef and is going to have/has his own restaurant.

Does anybody know anything about this band：　　隷奴絶悲？ The guitarist was in sadis mary (written in katakana).

Thank you for your answer. I wrote them but so far they did not reply. Maybe they had a website problem. I hope they do not force me to buy all the books I have ordered twice/trice because of their "no cancelling of book orders" policy. True. The free shipping option is nice. I also like the service to avoid custom tax which is the main reason why I want to order the DVD there. The DVD is quite expensive and if I have to pay shipping fees as well as tax I won't be able to buy CDs for some time. Oh I know that problem. I ordered a Guniw CD from Yesasia a couple of years ago. It is still listed online despite not being available. (Same problem I had with a D CD at CDJapan).

I kinda have a problem with YesAsia. I tried to order a DVD and some books. I tried to do it a couple of times because I constantly had error messages. I checked my customer account and none of the goods were placed as order. I am not sure whether they got my order or not, since I do not have anything in my customer account. I am kinda afraid that somehow all of my orders will show up tomorrow. Is YesAsia really as bad as many people in the net are writing? If yes and if none of my orders were placed I think of using another shop.

Thank you very much! Seller was extremely patient and very helpful. I received my Penicillin book on Tuesday and the Sleep My Dear CD yesterday. Both were carefully wrapped and in very good condition.

That is fine. I was expecting a price like that. On Saturday I transfered some money to my PayPal account but I guess it will take unil Wednesday/Thursday to reach my account because we do have two National Holidays now. If you want, you can already send my your PayPal Emailaddress and I transfer the money when it reached my account.

Ok, I think I will get the Penicillin Photobook and the Last Live Final Spark Album. How much will the book and the CD be including cheapest shipping to Germany and fees (German Paypal does not have the option "send money as gift ).

Ah thanks.I am considering buying it. Do you also have Hakuei only stuff? Oh yes and what do you sell from Sleep My Dear?

What Sleep My Dear stuff do you have? What is the THE HISTORICAL PRESENT PENICILLIN book? How many pages does it have? What is in it?

Got the D Making off DVD yesterday. Thank you for being so patient with me and my PayPal account.

Is Jpophelp still on? I tried to contact them since January and all I received was the automatic response. They never replied to my mails.

Anyone knows what happened to Rei from Baiser? I know that he was in a band called Swallowtail and on his VKDB somebody refers to the Iris myspace but I have no clue what that means. (He used to be in a band called Iris but there is no myspace of that band).

^ actually everybody could vote for the songs. Hakuei once put the link for the voting page on his blog. They listed every album and single and you could vote for one song.

True but even ACTA is not able to stop "big" file sharers from sharing their stuff. They will just do it somewhere else in another way and it will not bring companies more money. I hardly doubt that people go out and buy more records. Not because they do not want to but a lot of them also can't because they do not have money. That is actually also what a guy from the Swiss government said. Downloads do not decrease the money of companies like Disney, Universal.. because kids still spend most of their money for entertainment. I am actually more concerned about ACTA and medicamentation/food to be honest. I wonder whether it means that medicamentation and food prices are going to rise. What if you have a medicamentation intolerance and therefore cannot eat/drink the licensed product?
