Just placed my first CDJapan order in... a long time, basically. I thought about ordering albums, but since there's so many groups, I settled on a concert.

From CDJapan, couple of weeks ago:



Suzuki Airi – i (regular edition with first press mini-clearfile)

From Yafuoku via From Japan:



Heike Michiyo Debut Single GET telephone card (1997)

Hello! Project 2019 SUMMER 「beautiful/harmony」 [DVD]

Actually got here a lot sooner than I expected!

(I expected all of these to be region 2, but the Little Glee Monster DVD is actually region-free. Which is really surprising, considering Sony's history of region-blocking things.)

Perhaps the best quote about idol fandom ever, from Aggretsuko (Season 3, Episode 4):

"Fans are always looking for a chance to waste their money, you know?"

I just got another batch of Yafuoku / From Japan stuff; here's the H!P portion:

The six musical DVDs were a single auction lot, which I got for a ¥1100 bid.

Of the non-H!P items that I bought, this is probably the coolest: an NTT Kyūshū telephone card advertising Sukeban Deka: The Movie (1987), starring Minamino Yōko as Asamiya Saki (the role played by Matsuura Aya in the 2006 version).
