NEW ALBUM! name and versions published

I have both Kyuutai and Redeemer on order... I was more impressed with DRay's singles than MUCCs, but that doesn't mean anything. I enjoy them both equally; I just have more of an attachment to MUCC because of this thing.... their blog... where I get to know them better XD

@Yuketsuko - Nah, I'm not really a D'espairsRay fan. but wow that adds yet another thing coming out on March 11. Makes me think of all of the concerts happening around here on April 14th.

Anyway, I'm getting an An Cafe single and DVD (not sure why they decided to release them on the same day) and M's Ningen・Shikkaku mini-album. C:

@Rivetspoon - BLOGS ARE SO GENIUS FOR BANDS. For anyone really. If people like you, a lot of times they'll buy your shit. I am a victim. D8

^ I'm the opposite! I used to love An Cafe... Bou. *laughs* I tried so hard to like them after, but something changed. I'm just bitter, I think. OH WELL.

@ Rivetspoon: I LOVED Kamikaze, but Ageha and Sora to Ito impressed me much more. Redeemer (the song) is great though! For me, both of the bands are close in terms of favorites, but DesRay just doesn't cut it with a lot of things. XDDD Although, I love me some Zero blog...and the fact that my two favorite members from both bands blog about/peta each other all the time.

But you are missing out on the adorable gayness that is Yuuki! D8 Haha, I know what you mean though. Honestly I think they were kind of.. off for about a year after Bou left. Miku was going through some kind of identity crisis or something, jesus christ the things he WORE, lmao. They totally got back on track with Summer Dive though, and I fell completely in love with them with Koakuma Usagi <3
I still went ): when I listened to Magnya Carta today though, lol

wow I'm off topic, sorry >_>

^ See, I've listened to all the singles since then and the only one I've been impressed with so far was Cherry saku Yuuki. XD Aroma is bleh for me. Sorry if I sound mean, lol. Just like Gazette lost me with Stacked Rubbish, and I looooooooooveeeedddd Gazette, but I really like Leech. *laughs*

YES. We are off topic. >_>;; Uhhhhh, 5 days until Kyuutai!!!! XD

haha you're not mean, it's just your opinion. I personally love Aroma. I thought it really showed how much they've grown. The vocals mix really beautifully with the rest of the instruments at a few points, probably the chorus. but omg Cherry Saku Yuuki taught me the first 10 elements in the periodic table lmao. except actually.. I only know the abbreviation, not the actual name of the element so.. it probably doesn't count for much, lol.

YES 5 days! I'm so exciteddddddd. There's no way I'll be able to wait the extra two weeks though D8

See, watching the Aroma PV...it wasn't that it was a bad, it just doesn't feel like An Cafe for me. I have a big problem when a band loses it's personality to me. It isn't that they actually lost it, but personally for me I feel they do. XD So if I don't get that feeling I stop following them, but I still LOVE their old music to death. :333

You shouldn't!! Since you ordered it, I would honestly just listen once it's uploaded somewhere after the 4th. You already paid for it, so it wouldn't be a big deal. XDDD

HAH. I tortured myself when Kagrra's CORE came out; I waited until it was in my hand before I downloaded it and listened to it. Looking back, I don't know why. o_o Won't be doing that this time since I have to wait on D'Ray's album, too.

I prefer to torture myself and wait (lol what) because I mean.. otherwise it's not as special when the CD does come. It kind of blows the excitement. You've already heard the songs so there's not much to look forward to.

but why would you download and listen to it if it's in your hand? shouldn't you like.. listen.. to your actual copy..? lol

I like owning the legal copies, but because they're so expensive, I get the MP3s so that I have a way to listen to the songs without putting the Hard copies at risk. And, should i have a complete hard drive failure, I have hard copies to rip later on.

Yeah, I think I agree on the Special part. It takes the magic away when you hear it before you own it. Sampling is one thing, to be sure.

See, it doesn't take anything special away for me. I listened to Shion before I got it and I still love having the album, and I still enjoy sitting and looking at the booklet and sometimes carefully taking the CD out and listening to it directly every once in a while along with all my other Jrock stuff. I cherish everything more than I used to (and that was a lot) since I almost lost ALL my Jrock merch last year, so just having it makes me happy, even when I break and listen to it before it arrives. XDDDD

I still love having the CD too, of course. I just mean that the excitement of "omg what is it going to sound like?! 8D" is gone. doesn't make it any less worth buying though C:

Well, yes of course! XD I understand that, but I really don't really care myself either way. It's equally as exciting to download it and listen, because I usually hate putting my CDs in any danger anymore. I used to be really careless with my first Jrock CD (listened to the disc itself constantly and it got scratched up pretty nicely. Still works great, though.) and so after that I'm like...NO TOUCHY with most of them. So, it doesn't matter that much to me, I guess. Haha!

I guess I don't get not listening to the CDs D: I listen to mine all the time and it's not like any have ever broken before.. though I don't really check for scratches because I put them right back in the case when I'm finished with them. Actually, I have almost all of the CDs I like in my CAR of all places, so.. well, obviously I'm not very concerned with their safety >_> I guess my mentality is something like if the CD dies then it dies and I enjoyed it while it lasted, lol. I just don't leave them lying around on the ground or somewhere dangerous and figure they'll be fine.

I've seen the damage done to my CDRs in the car, I've seen the damage done to them in disc changers, and I've seen the damage done to them by just... lending them out. I'm very protective over my media; I even have a cow when people leave CDs and DVD cases on top of the TV or the cable box for days or weeks on end, drying out the plastic and paper and what have you and resulting in that decades old appearance that won't get you a good selling price. When a CD I order comes in a resealable plastic sleeve, I keep the sleeve. My friend couldn't comprehend this idea; she feels that if you buy something, it's to play with it and make it dirty and broken and covered in dust. She was flabbergasted at my collection of Holiday Barbie dolls that to this day remain unopened; she leaves hers opened and sitting on top of the bookshelf where they get attacked by sunlight and dust. I, on the other hand, know the resale value of these things after 20 years. ^_^V

Wow, I went from Jrock to Barbies. Nice.

For the record, I'm this protective over my non overseas music, as well. Mainly because I listen to Indies bands and their music is just as hard to come by, IF NOT HARDER. Though nearly every CD in my collection has been played a few times. ^-^ I'm not THAT anal.

wow.. I'm more like your friend, haha. I would probably never sell anything anyway. If I still have it 20 years from now it's because it means something to me, or I like it. My mom always encourages me to get the hardcover version of books in a series, even if I already have the paperback, because it'll be worth more someday, but I never do because paperbacks are easier to read and carry around. It's not like I'm buying something just to sell it..

I get where you're coming from though.

Ahaha, see, I'm not worried about the resale value of anything I have like rivetspoon, but I just get paranoid now after what ALMOST happened to my stuff. XD I lost one thing that I will never get again for the price I paid, and it was limited to the thousands in terms of print, so bleh to the Post Office. *sigh* It was something I waited for so long to finally get too. : (((((

I'm just overly cautious now, but I TOTALLY see where both of you are coming from. I'm in the middle. I don't worry about a small rip or something in a case if it happened by accident, but I also never leave my CDs in the car. I DO watch my DVDs allll the time, though. I guess my protective nature is more toward the CDs and books ect., but I still handle everything with care. XD

4 more daysssss (keeps on topic...kinda.)

I don't PLAN on selling my CDs, to be sure. ^^ But I just put my Dir en grey DVD up for sale, for example, because I never watch it and my love for them has dwindled significantly. The Barbies on the other hand are collectors items and I treat them as such.

STOP SAYING THAT. I have to wait for D'espairsRay DX

Today's the day!

Why havent they shipped it yet!!!! :'(

Some people were saying it shipped yesterday or the day before. :O

I guess that by the time the company I ordered it from get it then ship it to me it might take a few more days....:'(

Each company is different; I know CD Japan would have shipped mine out by now HAD D'ESPAIRSRAY NOT PUSHED THEIR DATE BACK. *isn't bitter AT ALL*

One word. Gorgeous. :3

BOO HISS. I can't download on this computer *has to wait until AFTER CLASS OMG THE TORTURE*
