If that would been the case, you could just print the booklets and burn the music to a CD

Glath what in your opinion is the best 5 or 10 Shiina/Jihen items to go after? not including all domestically available releases. (I have them all now just about) I'M thinking more along the rarities route, I'd appreciate the advice on this as it's literally a minefield on those auction sites, also do you think it's worth hoarding those 10th anniversary folders? I've got 10 now though a friend wanted a few so do you think I should give her a couple or just hoard them.

EDIT: I lacked the heart to be so ruthless so I gave four away to my friends who thought they were cool, still I'll hoard these six or however many more turn up.

I think you should give it to us

or sell it to us
I'd buy
but if you just give it, is less complicated

perhaps now that the 10th anniversary stuff is kinda old news the shops are just clearing out the stock and ignoring allocation rules and just giving them to whoever buys Shiina stuff ?

There's several different ways I could list that.

This is my personal opinion "Cool Factor" ranking list. I've also taken into account whether or not it's worthwhile to pursue a rarer version of something you already own a common version of.

1.) Kalk Samen Kuri No Hana LP
2.) Zechhoushu audio cassette(s) triple-package
3.) Gips / Tsumi to Batsu cardboard zero-press CDs double-package
4.) Yuuhatsu Orgasm fan-lottery VHS
5.) Tomosaka Rie's Shoujo Robot CD
6.) Mayonaka wa Junketsu LP
7.) Heart Bazaar's Baobob CD
8.) Electric Mole limited DVD
9.) Seteiki Healing first-press DVDs
10.) Gunjou Biyori + Sounan LP

Ranked from a sealed rarity standpoint, of how often I've seen them so far, compromised with how decreasingly often I expect to see them in the future.

1.) Yuuhatsu Orgasm fan-lottery VHS
2.) Shouso Strip audio cassette
3.) Zechhoushu audio cassette(s) triple-package
4.) Tomosaka Rie's Shoujo Robot CD
5.) Sweets for my SPITZ first-press CD
6.) Tomosaka Rie's Murasaki CD
7.) Shouso Strip limited CD
8.) Seteiki Healing volumes 1 or 2
9.) Gunjou Biyori + Sounan LP
10.) Kalk Samen Kuri No Hana LP

Rarest nonsealed items I've ever seen, including some stuff that seemingly doesn't exist as sealed anywhere anymore.

1.) Koufukuron audio cassette
2.) Yuuhatsu Orgasm fan-lottery VHS
3.) Muzai Moratorium audio cassette
4.) Ichigo-ichie Sweets for my SPITZ LP
5.) Zechhoushu audio cassette(s) triple-package
6.) Gips / Tsumi to Batsu audio cassettes double-package
7.) Gips / Tsumi to Batsu cardboard zero-press CDs double-package
8.) Karisome Otome (DEATH JAZZ ver.) promo CD
9.) Dynamite Out promo CD
10.) Heart Bazaar's Baobob CD

Undervalued bargains on Yahoo! Japan Auctions, regularly available. Ranked not necessarily from least expensive to most expensive, or the coolest, but mainly on just how much consistently cheaper and available these products are, compared to where I feel they should be.

1.) Tomosaka Rie's Shoujo Robot CD (used)
2.) Taniguchi Takashi's becoming CD (used)
3.) Shouso Strip limited CD (used)
4.) Mayonaka wa Junketsu LP (in any condition)
5.) Shiina Ringo first-press singles CDs (any used)
6.) Tokyo Jihen Phase 1 first-press CDs (any used)
7.) Dynamite Out! first-press DVD (used)
8.) Electric Mole limited DVD (used)
9.) Seteiki Healing first-press DVDs (used)
10.) Hirosue Ryoko's Jeans 8cmCD (sealed)

I would give some away if I'd still have at least five or ten leftovers to hoard. But that's just me. I'd probably stuff them with Rockin' on Japan issues, or all my invoices from Amazon.co.jp, CD Japan, HMV Japan, Tower.jp, and YesAsia.

I'm hoping that's what CD Japan will do with my order when they ship it in a few days. I ordered two copies of each of the re-releases (one to open and one to hoard), and KSK is the only one on the anniversary marketing campaign list. The latest 'new' releases aren't on the list either. If CD Japan gave me one anniversary folder per Shiina Ringo product, I would have ten folders coming to me. I'll know within a week.

thanks Glath!! pretty extensive list for me to go through!! i appreciate it!

EDIT: i'm all out of cash til late august i am totally commited up until then with other stuff! but after that i intend to go for all the LP's & cassettes! i'm not really into alternative versions of what i already have but i do like the alternative formats of the LP's & cassettes.. i'll probaly also get Ltd Ed Shouso Strip too ? maybe some videos ?

[Yahiko]
