Why do they have to do this? I'm fully aware that by living outside Japan, I don't have all the privileges that a Japanese would have, like watching the newest anime on TV, getting weekly manga magazines for cheap, and special events. That's okay, it's a privilege they have and by living in the US, I have no right to complain nor demand that I get afforded the same benefits (I believe living in the US still is a lot better, at least for my non-anime self).

One of the benefits of buying Japanese items is that they sometimes throw in these "campaigns" and other goodies for buying their (overpriced) products. If you collect all X number of DVDs and do a mail-in (automatically ruling out overseas addresses), you can get neat stuff like toy, figurines, and pictures. In this particular case though, they're having a campaign where if you go to any of the stores they have listed and buy a Kiminozo DVD, they'll throw in this bonus DVD disc that contains clips from the Age concert last august and some footage with the seiyuu.

I can go without toys, models, or pictures/posters as I'm more interested in items that requires me to use my brain (i.e. needing to parse Japanese). So when they have DVDs and CDs, that's why I start feeling this "want." I've been pretty good about it and have been able to prevent myself from paying an exorbitant amount for non-retail items like the Love Hina "Friendship" CD and even the Kiminozo "Blue Tears" CD. But man, you get the singer who is performing my second most favorite song on stage, and that will power is gone. There is precedence though. I have the DVD of Yui Horie singing my favorite song in concert and a DVD of Junko Iwao singing my favorite non-anime Japanese song in concert as well.

Anyhow, expect a review of this DVD in mid-May. I'll probably place it under the music section despite it being a video.
