Υour CD collection! XD

Re: Re:

Whoa! Really?! That's so cool! What was that experience like?

It was very brief and very worthwhile.

I had commented how good Chiaki-san's singing was immediately after her set (Mou Nani mo Kowakunai, Kowaku wa Nai (Mobile Suit Gundam 00 ED) and Fukanzen Nenshou (Kamisama Dolls OP)), at the second Animelo Summer Live 2011 - Rainbow concert. I had a guide/translater with me as I (still )-:) hardly have any Japanese language skills.

Anyway, backstage afterwards everyone was milling around people like Nana Mizuki and I noticed Chiaki Ishikawa with not too many people queued up to speak to her so I asked the guide to convery that I thought that her singing was beautiful and Chiaki-san thanked me warmly and shook hands with me. That was it, and then my guide and I left the arena. It was pretty surreal seeing others like Kanaka Ito and Yurie Horie looking exactly like they did on stage standing around talking to a few people backstage.

My (brief) write-ups on the trip to Japan to see Animelo Summer Live 2011 start at http://blog.animeinstrumentality.ne...mer-live-2011-part-1-preamble-and-travelogue/.

I can understand to some extent that the artists need to be protected from over-enthusiastic fans - one Minori Chihara video I had included a fan who didn't want to let go of Minorin's hand after shaking it at a meet-and-greet. On the other hand, the after show meet-and-greet for fans on the special guest list for Animelo Summer Live had an abundance of people who were either close professional associates of the artists or fans who had just worn themselves out, and the artists were in "unwind" mode, not worrying about their next show.

Yes they are - I managed to pick up a copy of Eminence Orchestra's "A Night in Fantasia 2009" featuring Tsubasa Chronicles symphonic suite (written by Yuki Kajiura, arranged by Kazuhiko Sawaguchi) in Australia for a reasonable price.

 

[Mace63]

I have all Kalafina's albums and After Eden is the only LE. I got them all from the expensive CDJ

And also, even though I paid 42$ for it, my Seventh Heaven CD came with a small crack on the back.

Oh and also, I have a question for people who own After Eden RE edition:

Is the booklet the same as the one in LE?

I HEARD the booklets were the same on the inside but come with a different cover.

Re: Re:

It's the truth. The insides use the same photos. Only the front and back cover are different. Also, the limited edition comes in a box which obviously has different art.

LE box front cover:

LE booklet front cover:

Couldn't find the other pics online, I'll up them later if noone else does.

 

[Mace63]

Oh, so they're the same. I was just wondering since both Seventh Heaven and Red Moon booklets had different pics inside for LE and RE versions.

[garnetjester]

I own all Kalafina albums, Everlasting Songs, FictionJunction live CDs. I'm thinking about buying Rekishi hiwa Storia 1 and Works for Soundtrack next but that'll probably have to wait until I find a new job because I'm poor now.

 

[ShadowAlex]

BAH-I forgot to include Magia in the list! I'm so forgetful

 

[Kugayama]

I was working today and yesterday and finally checked my post office box after the post office was closed and found two "you have a regular parcel to collect" cards in the box... hopefully more CD's...

 

[Kugayama]

More a DVD than a CD, but I've just ordered:

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=VIBF-200

1. Life Goes On/ 有坂美香
2. 君は僕に似ている (Kimihabokuniniteiru)/ See-Saw
3. 焔の扉 (Homuranotobira)/ FictionJunction YUUKA
4. あんなに一緒だったのに 〜2006MIX (An'naniisshodattanoni)/ See-Saw

I thought I was being old-fashioned in still collecting CDs...there's something about having a *real* copy of something on your shelf. That and sitting down with a cuppa and flicking through the inlay booklet when listening through it for the first time.

I don't collect CD singles these days though...I have a box full from when I blindly bought loads of the things from bands I enjoyed back in my late teens, but never listened to them much afterwards.

Right now my Kajiura collection of CDs stands at:

Cossette OST
Kara no Kyoukai Soundtrack 2CD (the enclosed Shiki sticker is on my guitar now)
Fiction (solo album)
Fiction II (solo album)
FictionJunction Yuuka - Destination
Kalafina - Seventh Heaven (regular ed)
Kalafina - Red Moon (special ed)
Kalafina - After Eden (special ed)
See-Saw - Dream Field

I have the Red Moon and After Eden live blu-rays too.

It's just unfortunate that none of her projects are well-known enough internationally to make overseas live shows viable. Unless you happen to be in Japan at the time or be at one of the major US conventions, it's unlikely that many of us will get the chance. I can only imagine how awesome it would be to have a FJ Live at London's O2 Arena or something. I LOVE the experience you get from hearing and seeing the artists I admire in a live setting.

Quite an old topic, but it totally fulfills my wishes

No space left for the Best albums!!

If ever you can't see the picture:

- Upper shelf:

Taiwanese rock band F.I.R. - almost the only artists from my Chinese music epoch, when I found J-music too mainstream..., that I still enjoy. The lead singstress does its job well and the musical part is as good as the most renowned western rock bands.

F.I.R. eponymous 1st album (2nd hand)
Unlimited (2nd hand)
Glory Days (CD+DVD)
Flight Tribe (Chinese ed.)
Love ⋅ Diva
Let's Smile (CD+DVD)
Chapter IVAtlantis
Better Life​

KOKIA - impressive live, I find her studio albums not so great.

The VOICE 10th Anniversary Concert (2×DVD)​

Nana Mizuki - a recent great discovery, powerful and original. I look forward to buy more of her albums, maybe the Museum bests, on medium term.

Supernal Liberty​

Kanon Wakeshima - quite popular in France while produced by Mana for playing cello, her albums being released here before in Japan. Now a bit forgotten, she may take her revenge with her newest single, Killy Killy JOKER.

Shinjuku Dolce (French ed.)
Lolitawork Libretto (French ed.)​

WagakkiBand

Vocalo Zenmai​

Babymetal - I previously had three of their singles: Headbanger, Ijime Dame Zettai, and Megitsune, which I all sold to another French fan because they were redundant with the album.

Live Legend I.D.Z. Apocalypse (First Press BD)
Babymetal eponymous 1st album​

Sound Horizon - their discography is too plethorical, so I stuck only with those DVDs.

Live Tour 2009 - 2009.06.26 (2×DVD)
Live Tour 2009 - 2009.06.27 (2×DVD)​

Revo & Yuki Kajiura

Ongakugumi
Ongakugumi 2

- Lower shelf:

FictionJunction - I had the four singles Parallel Hearts, Toki no Mukou, Stone Cold and Distance/Eternal Blue but sold them to a Singaporian fan because of their redundance with Elemental.

Wow, this is an old thread isn't it. The last post may well have been before I even started commenting on CPM.

Well, here we are:

French releases of the first .hack//sign OST, the Petite Cosette OST and Fiction, which strangely enough I didn't get in France but from a local UK convention, After Eden live BD, regular Moonfesta (which I mostly bought because it was on sale, was making an order anyway and because I always feel sorry for it as a lot of people don't seem to like it ) and Seventh Heaven (), LE After Eden and 5th Anni Live Selection, and signed LE Consolation and Red Moon.

Not shown:
Consolation, Red Moon and After Eden promotional release posters, 2012 After Eden tour poster, Red Moon t-shirt, Consolation Special Live t-shirt, Consolation Live Photo Book, After Eden Photo Book, 2013 Christmas Live Photo Book, 2014 Calendar (which only arrived last week along with my Mushishi Zoku Shou OST and Perfume's Cling Cling single ), framed Kalafina autograph board from Japan Expo.
