CDs/DVDs/etc. which you're extremely proud to own

[sai 868]

Nookicky - Concarino live

And a Guniw sort-of storybook signed by Full

[inartistic 1151]

I'm proud to own a handful of things, but the two that really stand out are Dali-related. Those two are super special because, as far as I know, their existence wasn't documented anywhere before I found them!

First, a SUGAR FORKFUL VHS. I still remember the scene: freshman year, in the dorm, doing my regular check of mbok, when suddenly--“SF VHS.” ...What?!?! It was maybe 400 yen, but I bid like 8,000, and was crazy with anxiety over the next days, just knowing someone else would still win. In the end, I won (see below), and it was glorious ;O;~ As far as I know, my fansite is still the only source anywhere that mentions the VHS (which contains a PV clip, btw), so yeah, I really treasure it.

(Side story: the same seller had a huge set of SF photos, let's say for 200 yen. I really wanted that too, but it couldn't possibly have as much interest as the VHS, right?, so I bid maybe 2,000 yen, and even that seems excessive. Lo and behold: bidding war over the photos, not single other bid on the VHS. I lost the photos, and am still disappointed about that, but I'm mostly shocked at how Japanese fans could value photos over videos. Still baffles me!)

Second item is a Lese larme DT. Similar situation, but last year: in my room, browsing mbok, see “Lese larme DT (Dali Ren&KEETO ex-band).” What?!?! Not grass thread, not VKDB, no one lists those guys as having an ex band called Lese larme, so I'm sure the seller is mistaken. But there's a picture in the auction, and I recognize that cro-magnon forehead anywhere--that's Ren!! So I bid and win with no drama, that's that. It's still bizarre to me, though, how seemingly no one online knew (as far as I can find, at least) that Ren and KEETO were in a band together, pre-Tsuki no Kakera--even moreso because it was well known that “guy from some band called Lese larme” had done support for SUGAR FORKFUL! To me, fascinating.

There are other items that I'm proud to own, but these are things that I knew of and had been searching for for a long time. So they're also precious to me, but not quite as spectacular.

- KISAKI with Matina family - NECROPOLIS

- Tsuki no Kakera - Two demotapes

- brodiaea - trace of vision

- Maryedi†Creia' - One-day-revival dist CD

- KISAKI - a basement Melody...

- KALEN - emotional graduation

- SUGAR FORKFUL × R-Café - Cocktail Party

- KISAKI - BEYOND THE KINGDOM

[Daggi_X 2]

- all Marilyn Manson albums (and some singles)

- Ayabie's "M" Single (comes in an A4-case with photobook; limited)

- Final Fantasy VI and IX Soundtrack (because they're awesome!)

[ficsci 50]

- all KYOKUTOU GIRL FRIEND singles

whoa, yea you should be proud of that

Plastic Tree - hide and seek

Plastic Tree - Traumerei

(both before re-released, yeah, they were out of print and expensive)

Merry - Nu Chemical Rhetoric (DVD)

KuRt - THEE SPIDER EFFECT

All 6 singles, with most of the trading cards (although it was almost purely by luck that I found 5 of them in Closet Child, but no regrets). Now that I've collected all 6, I can line up the CDs to form a whole face, lol

Jiminy Cricket - Paradox

Jiminy Cricket - Iro no Nai Himawari

Nothing quite as exciting as following a new band

Fatima - Exit (found it used and signed for someone named Nagisa)

SEX-ANDROID - Heisei Kotonakare Shugi! (got it signed at an in-store event... although something embarrassing also happened)

TAFUCA - Snow Drop

The Clash - London Calling (25th anniversary with behind the scenes DVD and released demos)

Copeland - You are My Sunshine (special edition with DVD)

Three One G records - This is Circumstantial Evidence (compilation live DVD)

Three One G records - Release the Bats (compilation of their bands doing The Birthday Party covers)

The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower - Love in the Fascist Brothel

Copeland - In Motion

^ just because I've loved them for 6 years

Wait until I finally get Moran's "Element" and "Mokka no Nukarumi", Chemical Pictures' "Praparat", and Fatima's "Noble King Snake" and "SSB" singles, eventually... then I would be extremely proud (*__*)

Speaking of which I came across Fatima's "Downer" going for like Y5000 in Closet Child. I was afraid of accidentally knocking it over, it should be in a glass case.

[Biopanda 2675]

Hmm... well I'm proud of most of my collection lol There's two things in particular that stand out for me though.

犬神サーカス団 - 夜が終っちまう前に

Inugami circus dan's first live VHS. Was released in extremely limited quantities. I was able to snag a(quite expensive) copy from yahoo auctions. About a year later I got a chance to see Inugami live and got my VHS signed during a meet & greet. They totally freaked out when they saw the VHS and asked me how I got it then told me to take very special care of it XD

01 COMPLETION Label Collection

For the past few years I've been collecting everything I could from the now-obscure 90's/early 00's VK label 01 COMPLETION(bands like Virtue, Schall Schall-en, 桜-SaKuRa- and the original Screw). Everything from cds, dvds, vhs, demotapes, magazines, anquettes and mail-order catalogs. Most of this stuff is near impossible to find and barely any info exists online at all. I've been really proud that I've been able to collect what I have and compile all the info I could about this forgotten label.

- Vasalla bootleg DVDs (1998, 1999 and 2000 shows)

- Shizuka's live DVD

- The Black Mages first live DVD. the fanclub only one from 2003.

- The Icarus Line - Mono 12" (test press, limited to 5 copies)

Which Vasalla dvds do you have? I was able to pick up a copy of their last live "bootleg" dvd off yahoo auctions a few years ago and the seller had a bunch of other ones as well. They were rather expensive though, so I only got that one.
