^ LoL yea I was gonna say....November?? Did I read wrong... haha I got a little sad for a second.

But yea its like a month after their single release. Gah can't wait. I want to preorder now now now!

^ *nods* Same here...but my mom's gonna kill me if I use her credit card...guess I could pre-order at Neotokyo...but I'm still broke, so I can forget about that as well.

*dramatic sigh*

wth. im sorry. i think i should get my eyes checked again lol

ahhhhh APRIL?!
i wonder if kino can help me order it...

^ They probably would lol. They can help you get anything media from Japan lol. They rock.

Chinese New Year is coming up and this is where my money will go kekekeke.....

^thats awesome~!!

aw, hopefully i get a job.
i need to refill my wallet T___T

*waves*hi Anna-chan xD
digipack is one kind of cd packing @_@ hm...well...checking here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digipack

^ lol hi hi! that's funny. It's kinda like how Diru releases their limited editions except it doesnt have that plastic CD holder attached to it. I actually like the cardboard backing. It feels nicer even though its less durable.

Hmm....does the limited edition come with all those goodies too....or is it just digipacked? lol that would suck.

^hm..i'm not sure abt that gomen ><
lol yeah it seems like all vk-ers releasing their stuff that way...the worst thing i've ever seen was 12012's one >.> they released 3 types (Heart, Type A,B&C) with two songs each and it's all the same first song, Heart, but differences in the second song (deep forest, ocean & shooting star) =_=;;

anyhoo....i'll try to save my money again T-T

^lol you bought all three versions?

my friend that i met from kino said you can get these "lucky packs" where you dont know whats in it, but its she said its definitely worth your money.. i dont know where she buys these things though.

i want the new album..
im gonna go up to kino when its available for preorder..
how does it work though? you just ask them to get it for you ?

^ yea just go up to the desk and ask if you can place an order for a CD. Just give them the name of the album and stuff. You have to pay in advance.

@Shirley; nope >< i bought only one single, Over... which's not even in those three version since i couldn't make up my mind ><

what's Kino, btw @_@

ahhhh....their new album available for pre-order at cdjapan rightnow xD

^ must order ......now......gahh!! good thing I only bought one Diru DVD...thank gosh!

too bad the limited edition doesn't come with the bonus video. Boo!
unless its the Squall PV...then I wouldn't care since i'm getting that with my single.....omg i'm a shopaholic.
I think I have to give all my Chinese New Year money to my mom to pay off my debts

SHIRLEY!! Buy my Kogoeru single lol!!!

Hey guys, quick question. Do you know if the LIQUIDIZE dvd comes with any bonus features? And are there any other live dvds of D'espa besides that?

^ They have Murder Day live and The World Outside the Cage documentary but those have been out of print I believe.

LIQUIDIZE comes with "Live concert footage from D'espairsRay's summer tour finale performance at the Ebisu Liquid Room held on the seventh anniversary of the band's creation, September 9, 2006. Also includes footage from their free show at the Shibuya BOXX and backstage footage!"

There is some bonus-footage on it.

other live-DVDs...lemme think.

Murder Day
D'espairs Ray documentary DVD [The world outside the cage]

and Liquidize of course, but that's it as far as I know.

Okay, thanks for the help!

No prob, darling. *hugs*

My best friend ordered [The world outsdide the cage]...I hope she'll get it soon. She already has Murder Day...and I love it to pieces. It's awesome.

^^

Yeah, I'm planning to buy LIQUIDIZE, because after I watched Code of Vulgar[ism] I was like "OMFGTHISISTHEWOLRD'SMOSTAWESOMEBAND" and when I watched NLSG I was like "OMFGTHISISTHEWOLRD'SSECONDMOSTAWESOMEBAND" so I think watching a live will help me appreciate D'espa's talent best.

^LOL you definitely will like them more after you see them live. I liked them 10000x more after I saw them at CBGBs.

side note: I'm sad that my venue didn't have the code of vulgarism DVD.....so I only got 5 ugly....

*nods* Do that. LIQUIDIZE is truly made of the awesome...it's an amazing live...reminds me so much of the european tour, although we had a different setlist...but the energy is the same.

*sighs* I miss them...

...*sniffle*

kino is a japanese bookstore that sells jrock cds and jrock magazines and other japanese stuff~
ahh~ must go up to kino and preorder~
they give you everything that comes with the order right? like the photosets, etc?

aw, anna, maybe
im still saving up right now T___T

^ hmm i'm not sure about the promo stuff...you can ask them.

I'm just looking at my CD collection and thinking about selling the ones I don't listen to anymore...mostly the singles....

hmm, how many singles do you have? o_o

yeah im gonna ask, they better not steal my goodies

The singles I have.....l'arc, GLAY, LUNA SEA (not selling ever ever lol), D'espa, Diru (myaku, Ryoujoku, ASoM), Gazette (regret, FitB, reila, cassis), pierrot (smiley skeleton).

Want to get rid of one D'espa, Regret/FitB (maybe both if their next album has the songs on it), GLAY, and l'arc....and maybe the pierrot one. I think people would only want the D'espa and Gaze though lol.

and the promo stuff....hopefully they'll ship it over with your CD. If you're pre-ordering you should get the goodies.

yay~!


yeah i dont really listen to glay or l'arc much.
i might get that despa single... maybe not... >< i need money. lmao

=O ohhh...kino is kinokuniya~! lol i know that shop xD thanx for your answer,shirley ^^

i got hooked on D'espairsRay when i firstly watched thier live , beauti-fool fest'03 xDDD i was like *-* *-* *-* *-* *-*
xDDDDDDDDDD

i need money too ;-;

oh and Nyappy Valentine Day xD

Happy Valentines Day~

i got hooked onto despa by listening to their Coll:Set album.
that album is addicting ><

mu ha ha ha I got one of my friends here to start listening to D'espa. Another job well done.

Anyways Happy V Day. I'm stuck in my dorm due to snow....but on the bright side NO CLASSES!!

V Day sucks like every other year for me

but yes~ when is White Day btw?
my friend and are were like were gonna exchange white ribbons on white day. lmao

hm, i still havent gotten anybody to like d'espa...

White Day is on the 14th of March, I believe.

Gawd, today is a miserable day. Not because it's Valentine's, its just a miserable day I cant be bothered to do anything.

haha. i wonder how despa would celebrate it.
probably fanservice~ or with their gfs...

haha i'm sure they'll be getting a lot of fan mail that day.

I want to hear their single already....it's been so long since I heard a new Despa song...

yeah it has been a while~
i hope it wont be disappointing like gazettes new singles..

but the "pop sound" part kinda makes me go :|
but i have confidence in despa<3

So, I've been meaning to get something from Despairs Ray, to contribute to my jrock collection (I'm trying to by at least one album/single/dvd from every band I like, then try to get as much of Diru and RENTRER EN SOI's discographies as I can). Seeing as D Ray (I'm so lame, but I like calling them D Ray XD) is pretty high up on my list.. I broke down and spent the last bit of my birthday money pre-ordering their "Mirrors" album today. I'm excited to get it though. =) I just wonder where I'm going to put that poster. o___o My signed Diru poster took up the last decent sized bit of space on my rooms walls. >___<

the mirrors album comes with a poster? i thought it was only squall ... ehh
must preorder~

haha D Ray. sounds kinda funny



okay nevermind.

MUST PREORDER! i need more posters on my wall since i took down my gazeone.

@Britt: hahah yea my goal is to collect things from my favorite bands...so far it's going well. I pre-ordered Squall and Mirrors (don't know why I need both..i'm a D'espa addict and i'm an online shopping addict) and I also just got The Code of Vulgar[ism] .....since I got all the Diru CDs I want I have moved on to their DVDs......I told myself I wouldnt buy it but then I can't control myself...I have spending issues....

I need another poster of D'espa. The one I have kept falling so I just took it down permanently.

EDIT: I want the larger version to the pic they have on their myspace...looks hot

http://www.myspace.com/despairsray

^aw, that poster was smexy~
you got vulgarism *__*. ah i really want that dvd. i might as well get it after i get a job....
next week, my 800 bucks will be gone. damn computer.

ahhhh, no dead thread :<

Squall is out next week!!

ah, i wonder when theyre gonna release the PV...

^hmm..... may be the same day as the single release? I just want to hear their new songs dang it... the 14th seems like such a long way....crap I think when my album comes i'll be at home for spring break. This stinks = (

^really? how long is your break??

ahh i wanna hear their new songs already T__T

^ a week

I wont get my single for almost a week then

ne, is your vacation the week after it's released? or during that week?

you preordered the single and the album? that means two posters!

^After the release so when CDJapan sends its out it'll get to my dorm when i'm at home so I won't be able to listen to it until I get back.

Yea I ordered the album after the single.....if I known earlier about the album I probably wouldn't have ordered the single...

but you still get two posters T___T
i still havent preordered the album yet, i'll probably do that next monday since i get out of school early

I'm planning to pre-order the album next week. Does the poster only come if you order from CDJapan?

^yea CDJapan is good on giving you the promo stuff (if they still have first press). YesAsia is supposed to give it to you but they never do.

yeah, they take it and sell it for like 10 bucks.

ahh, i want it. T^T

From Yesasia

Description of "Mirror (First Press Limited Edition)(Japan Version)"



Yeup, so you only get the poster if you order from CDJapan. *sigh* So I ordered from them.

And for getting free stuff from Yesasia, I think it depends on what it is. Like, I ordered Marrow of a Bone from Yesasia, and I got the cool folder thing. *shrug* I just think it depends on what it is.

^ arg...dang it....the first time I don't pre-order on YesAsia and they give you the promo thing. Then most likely they won't give the posters since they didnt for both Ryoujoku and Miyavi uta when I pre-ordered from there.

Hmmm.. I think what Shirley said is right, they probably just sell the posters seperate, since they can make a bit of money off of those.

I've only pre-ordered three things from Yesasia, and only Marrow came with a promo item. I just got Nightmare's new album the other day and didn't get anything, but I don't know if it was supposed to come with anything... Oh, I did pre-order RENTRER EN SOI's self titled album from Yesasia, and I got a postcard. ^^ So it might only be the posters they don't give. o____o
