I'd like to expand my story a little.
So what I'd do on a weekly basis was go to the 2 Book-Offs in my city, check each one, see what Shiina stuff they had. If there was an issue of Rock On Japan where hse wass on the cover, I'd buy it instantly. If she was on the spine (meaning she had a multi-page feature within) I'd probably buy it. Magainzes were about 200 yen each.
Regular CDs I didn't buy. But I did buy MoRA DVD and HF DVD because I figured those are special LIMITED EDITION.
There are a couple of things I missed out on that bummed me out.
Ringo Expo was on sale for 900 yen, and I missed that.
I also found that Tokyo Jihen Hard Disc collection. But it cost 12000 yen and it was HUGE and my suitcase was already bulging. It was the 2nd to last day I was in Japan too...
For Ringo Book, I saw it my first month there, and it was 9000 yen. I kept on thinking "No, I won't get it, I don't need it". I went to the concert and it was 8000 yen there. "No I don't need it..."...
But every week I'd stare at it on the Book-Off shelf...
Finally my last month there it was discounted to 8000 and I had a 200 yen of coupon so I did it! I bought it!
Those stories aren't as exciting as I thought.
