Oh yeah, definitely encouraged I used to post translations of Ringohan fanclub emails here; still have a backlog of emails from 2 years ago to translate eventually XDD

If you use Firefox, just install the Rikaichan plugin, that could make it a lot easier (in case you've never heard of it, it's a sort of an instant dictionary which pops up a translation of a word when you point your cursor at it, and sometimes it's really helpful and quick)

Yeah, been using it for a while but there are a lot of pictures used for menu items on that site, which can be hit and miss as far as translation is concerned.

Yay, I love collection threads! It's nothing like the others here, but I'm pretty proud of it.


KZK, HF, Electric Mole and Adult (the latter 2 more obviously so) are first press. I'm not sure about OSCA -- I preordered it but it doesn't look any different.

I just got these lovely items in the mail (included a MM vinyl, not picture above), so I decided to account what I had and take a picture! It's so nice to see so many Ringos looking back at you.

However, I got the re-released Ringo no Uta and I feel so swindled that the jewel case doesn't have the mole drawn on it! I knew I should've picked up the original used in Japan when I had the chance.


And here's a list of my whole CD collection if anyone, like me, likes looking at that stuff.

So how come you bought the Muzai Moratorium LP, but not also the Shouso Strip LP? Was it because of the cover art, or are you one of the few people who would dare to stand up and say that out of the first three albums, Muzai Moratorium is underrated?

*edit*
By the way, isn't GeoCities going to close down soon?
How long have you had your account with them? Early enough to have number and a neighborhood name before?

Muzai Moratorium is completely underrated. The only person who seems to consistently give it props on the forum is Maou.

KSK > MM > SS

I just like Muzai Moratorium better than Shouso Strip and I didn't have enough money to buy them both. I haven't even fully sorted out why I wanted it on vinyl in the first place. I don't have a very good record player and I already have the album on CD (AND I could've spend it on other CDs) -- but I've just been on a vinyl kick lately and I had this uncontrolable urge to get it.

And yeah, when I was uploading my updated list I just found out that it was closing down. I don't really use the site anymore -- only for storage so I'll just have to find somewhere else later.

I actually think it's underrated as well, by me too. But that's just because the two following albums are what they are. It's like being the least great but still great, and undeniably a wonderful debut.
BTW I imagine both covers in 12" must be kickass - MM because it's so "busy" and SS because it's quite simple, so the size would just accentuate both.

You know, originally you wouldn't even be able to buy either of those vinyls anywhere near this late. If you were watching what was happening in the months leading up to their release, there was a period when every major vendor was saying they were sold out. Heisei Fuuzoku has also disappeared and reappeared. Supposedly all of these vinyls are "limited", but I'm not believing EMI about that anymore. I mean yeah, the limited availability of the MoRA boxes definitely wasn't a joke, and none of the first-press CDs/DVDs throughout the past few years have been a joke either, but there's just something about these most recent vinyls that makes me believe EMI keeps re-evaluating how much more money they think they want to make.
