Not entirely for bragging purposes, here are my recent pickups (and probably the last for a long time to come…). Yes, I finally decided to go for the Namie Amuro single, marking my first Jpop and Amuro purchase ever. However, I opted out of the tour DVD. I figured I’d never watch it more than once and will probably just skip through 1/2 of it anyway. But it does look hot. Hot indeed.
The other two discs are mainly filler — I just didn’t want to get raped on shipping charges that badly — since I ordered (now) mainly for the CD’s first press bonus: a nice B2 sized poster of Namie Amuro. But I’m quite happy with them: a priced-down reissue of Blue Automobile and the indie flick Blister!. I’ve seen Blue Automobile before, and was honestly a little confused more than anything, but I stick by my belief that anything with Aoi Miyzaki simply cannot fail and am willing to give it another shot. Blister!, on the other hand, is an odd piece about an otaku’s obsession with action figures. It’s gotten favourable buyer reviews just about everywhere, and it sounds right up my alley, so why not?
Oh, and the real reason I bothered to write this post: I contacted CD Japan about the PayPal problem, mainly because they told me to (through the error message) and also because I didn’t want to miss out on my first press poster(!), and not only did they reply promptly, but the time they replied, the problem was fixed. Now I’m pretty sure my email had nothing to do with it since PayPal was down for a few days, but it always gives me a fuzzy feeling inside when stores have such great customer service. I’ll definitely order from them again.
