You should have no problem getting ahold of a used copy of Shouso Strip limited - they show up on eBay fairly often (probably more often than used copies of the regular edition), and you'll see dozens of the limiteds at a time, on Yahoo! Japan Auctions. The Mayonaka wa Junketsu LP appeared on eBay several times, basically from the same seller unloading 4-5 copies. I don't know that it will ever appear on eBay again, but Yahoo! Japan Auctions has more copies of it than anyone knows what to do with! Shoujo Robot only appeared on eBay once ever. It's all over Yahoo! Japan Auctions, and for almost dirt cheap if you're buying it used. Arguably this was Shiina Ringo's best all-around single ever, even if she didn't actually sing in it - just because the compositions (all of them from Shiina Ringo) are really good. I actually prefer the CD version over the Just Can't Help It version, not because the CD had a better performance, but mainly for the arrangement. Since the tracks that Shiina Ringo composed for Tomosaka Rie are still completely out-of-print (even after this B-Sides collection came out), the Cappuccino/Murasaki/ShoujoRobot trio can only get more expensive as collectors start to wake up. So right now I suggest you take advantage while it's still cheap. This was material she composed while she still had her MM/SS spunk - it's a completely different animal than Grandma Ringo composing for a boy band.

The folders are also give-aways if you by something at Tower Records, I realized the other day, when I also picked up the latest issue of RAT. Also I got two - and it's more of a twice-folded thin, tiny leaflet and hardly a magazine/news paper (except itself stating "Sheena Ringo news paper" on the front!!11!111).
I also took a pic of one of the shrines in the Shinjuku store. |

I should try to get my hands on some of those merchandise dividers that Tower Records has. They won't hoard them forever, and sooner or later some will turn up on Yahoo! Japan Auctions.
Also, my eyes could be playing tricks on me, but it looks like ringobingo's copy of Seteiki Healing vol.3 is first-press. If you're late into collecting and buying straight from a retailer (especially CD Japan), I don't know how this could be. There's just something about the shiny angle that tells me you've got solid black plastic underneath the shrinkwrap, instead of a black booklet underneath another layer of clear plastic. That volume is the most difficult one to distinguish at a glance.

This is my latest catch at Yahoo! Japan Auctions. This was all one auction.
And here's the craziest part: The bidding closed at 1300yen! (plus the international shipping charge will probably dwarf that - but still considerably cheaper than the magazines themselves)
