psychonnect_rozen 585 Posted May 15, 2019 Been wanting to pick up a copies of their albums for a while now and I was wondering where I could get some for an affordable price without the risk of bootlegs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleepy coffee 1476 Posted May 15, 2019 Amazon or Ebay, idk how youd be able to confirm something is or isnt bootleg prior to purchasing tho Or maybe @Seelentau could help since they have every piece of diru stuff that exists on this planet 1 Zeus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crucifiction 754 Posted May 15, 2019 Some proxy like ZenMarket + Amazon.co.jp / Yahoo Auctions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nullmoon 784 Posted May 15, 2019 I'm selling Dum Spiro Spero and The Unraveling if you're interested Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xriko 165 Posted May 15, 2019 If you buy album per album, I would say also ebay or Amazon. If you want to buy a lot in one buying, I will suggest checking Japanese auctions and using a proxy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ro plz 1290 Posted May 15, 2019 Locally, you can still most likely find a copy of either Uroboros, Uroboros with Proof, and DUM SPIRO SPERO at Newbury Comix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yeah, as others said, both Western and Japanese online stores should have everything you're looking for, @psychonnect_rozen. Unless you're looking for demos, samplers etc., those rarely show up and most of the time they end up in my hands.^^' 1 Arkady reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dir's stuff generally isn't that hard to find so not sure what the problem is. Plenty of stuff as people have said on ebay/amazon etc....But CDJapan, HMV Japan are safe bets if you want it from Japan for any particular reason. Also for any second hand "rarities" closetchild has some stuff pop-up here and there, even seen some La:Sadie's stuff come up for sale before. I also have a secret source for almost anything Dir you want, from A Knot exclusive releases, tour merch, replica/signature instruments, basically every CD/DVD release ever but that does get VERYYYYYY pricey so probably not worth mentioning. I have only used it a couple of times, they're also pretty slow and shit at replying to emails chasing them up on orders, have always got everything eventually but not sure I'd exactly recommend this site.

I mean, if you could tell me your secret source, that would be nice. As I said, I have almost all their stuff, but would still be interesting to check out.

You may have already heard of it if you've tracked down Dir's stuff so diligently! But I say "secret" as I haven't seen anyone else mention it on here before. + You got a link to this flower records page? Again, sounds interesting to check out. 1 1 Arkady and Seimeisen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seelentau 884 Posted May 15, 2019 ooh, oh no no, I don't recommend ordering there. They're overpriced, sometimes you don't get your order, close to zero communication. That website should honestly be banned from this forum, imo. FR is actually very nice, but of all the JP stores the most expensive one. Also, their actual shop is a fire hazard lol. http://www.flower-record.com/sub1.1.htm 1 Arkady reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghost 2687 Posted May 15, 2019 I second closet child. and Puresound is also very good. US shipping too. I'm selling a few Diru CDs and DVDs myself if you're curious. I have a sales post in the market subforum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LIDL 692 Posted May 16, 2019 You can find some of their releases from Amazon Japan. Their record labels are still keep reprinting their albums, even older ones like Gauze and Macabre. I once got Ain't Afraid To Die single, and Ugly Six mini, new, from there. While it is not first press, it still feels like winning lottery to me. And I enjoyed every seconds of myself unwrapping the cellophane when I got it in my hand. And, in all cases, stay away from Japan Discoveries. Also, shall you find some CDs on eBay, make sure you got the genuine release, not the bootlegs from Miya Records and stuffs. Look up to Discogs website for the barcode number and such, it is helpful.

Also, their actual shop is a fire hazard lol. http://www.flower-record.com/sub1.1.htm It's weird actually, I used to get a fair few bits from them and never had any issues. Then all of a sudden they just went shit, one time I actually had to open a paypal dispute with them to get them to actually respond, they did send the stuff and it was all good in the end, but was seriously annoying. I thought this was a one off so gave them the benefit of the doubt and the order after that was an ordeal as well, not to the same extent but took ages to get a response and stuff. Think they're so expensive because they're basically doing some kind of proxy service and just buy the items from wherever they can when someone orders it so they're looking to cover their own costs. Would be very surprised if this isn't the case, don't really see any other way they could be stocking fan club only items... Nice, cheers for the link, had a look, very nice selection! But yeah, as expected, the harder to find items are reflected in the prices. haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
