I hope it is not because I have purchased one as I love the song. It is still sitting in Japan though. I hope for it to be here next month. I do have a small L'arc music box and it is quite nice.

i think that is where you place the little QP dolls they sold during the tour. there was the Xmas set from MV6 and then another set for the 2009 tour. i kept wanting to get some, but never managed to do it.

seems like that was mentioned sometime back. Ken also has a calendar out i've heard. i had ordered the L'Arc one at YesAsia before the VAMPS one was put up for pre-order. it's like theirs always are, poster size pages. not a desk calendar like VAMPS. and these goods will always cost us so much more due to shipping alone. some items, like magazines, are 2-3 times the price of the product just because of that. it's always stupid.

I did not notice until yesterday. I feel slow T_T

Quote:but part of the price one pays for being an overseas fan, i guess. and it doesn't always work the same for Japanese fans of western bands or other entertainment. many companies put out Japanese or Asian versions automatically. look at those retail sites we use for Japanese products and you will find they get most of the same new releases on western bands you'd find in you local shops. without the exorbitant shipping charges.

That's what I never understood, why bands can't by default at least have an international section on their website if not international merchandise distribution. I mean, surely they know that their music won't only be recognized in Japan? I dunno.

Speaking of hard-to-get merchandise, anyone else sort of annoyed that the HELLWEEN LIVE 2009 merchandise can't be bought internationally? >_>

I saw that....and about ordered something until the shipping charges came up. Twice the price of the item as usual. I need to rethink if I want it that bad.
