Oh oh oh! Cath, call your nearest Kinokuniya's and ask them to set one aside for you or else for them to order an extra one. Even if you're far enough away from one that they have to send it to you, it won't cost 6 times the price, for shipping.

I suspect it's gonna be available on CDJapan, too, where they have registered SAL and such. But for me, picking it up at Kinokuniya's, with a membership card skimming the sales tax off, is most convenient and cost effective.


And yes, I do really want that!

P.S.~ I really want a poster of that shot!

Thanks for the suggestion.

However, there is no Kinokuniya where I live. I tried all day Sunday to get their web site to load without success. cdJapan is telling people there are no more available and they will not have them. Not too many other options.

I did put in a request with Mitsuwa's bookstore but she wasn't sure it would be available either. Actually there is no guarantee with Amazon.jp.

Yeah, it would make a lovely poster. It's a nice shot of him.

Update - the Kinokuniya site still will not load....now it's Tuesday.

I just noticed on the Goods page, it says this-

Anyone know what the CD/DVD they're referring to is?

It might be one of their old ones that they are trying to clean out of inventory.

But if you are going to the shows, you probably already own them all. Unless they are using the L'Arc merchandising ploy of having you buy something you already own just so you can get a bit of something new. In this case, a VAMPS poster.

Hopefully, if this is a new CD/DVD it will be promoted to the rest of us who cannot attend the lives sometime in the future.

If it is for only people who attend the show, that's a real shame because I'd give my left kidney for the poster of their current home page picture, and I'd probably throw in a blood vessel if they offered the poster with blonde HYDE from the Beast era.

Wait, what are you doing? I was speaking with hyperbole! Put that scalpel down this instant!

You are more than likely right with the first suggestion, though. They're probably just trying to clear inventory. If it were a new CD or DVD, they'd probably have announced it on the front page and probably would have been in semi-English like "VAMPS NEW SINGLE" or something. I'm still hoping to see a new one this year, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen, which is a shame because it would be a waste for HYDE to invest in such an awesome new hairdo and then only have it seen in one picture. I'd like to see a music video with that style!

Well, CDJapan is offering a "free" poster with the Beauty + Beast DVD. Does anyone knows what it looks like?

I think it was the one where Hyde is blond. I've got one still in the wrapper but I can see the words "beast" and "world tour" on it. If it is not that one, then it is a newer one of him with "VAMPS" on it.

Sorry, but I don't really keep track of when I got these guys.

I think so, too. Going back to an ornate, more graceful style of merchandise. I like the wristband and the hipbag, and want to know what they're made of. The page isn't currently loading well enough for me to do a machine translation and see if it says, in the details.

I like the designs on the tank tops and T-shirts, too.
I'm curious about the shape of the lip balm holder - is that an ankh or a sword or the symbol for Mercury or something else?

I want the i-phone case, and I don't even have an i-phone! Are i-phone cases compatible with other models, I wonder?

The main thing is, how am I going to get my hands on these??

Is someone here going to these lives who'd be kind enough to pick up some goods, for me?

And what are your recommendations on a good shopping service, these days?

Good shopping services (that I know of): Tenso and Celga. It cost me $147 for the shirt, pamphlet and iPhone case on Celga. I think they may be a little more expensive than Tenso, but they order the goods for you, so you don't have to worry about filling it out yourself.
