I think I bought it at a Book Off in Tokyo. Yes, I did, two weeks ago when I was there for the concert. 750 yen.

It's more of a Shiina Carrot shirt.

I've bought the LiVe box collection and will buy dynamite out/in and tou takai, I can't wait to get these gems in my hands Damn, ringo expo 2014 is so expensive
Do you guys think getting ZCS worth it? i really like the songs and the mp3 I got from a torrent sucks hard quality wise. Is the cd much better? I'm worried about that mini disc format not being compatible with my dvd drive...
Here an auction:

What is that red cd?

The red CD is Shouso Strip (first press)... which seems to be more common than the second press. It's in every 'bargain bin' in Japan second hand stores from my experience haha.

For someone who's starting out buying, ZCS is only worth it if you don't have Watashi to Houden, which features the second 2 discs in their entirety. Of course, you have to buy ZCS if you want the first disc. Most DVD drives with a tray should still be able to support the smaller discs btw. If you have a drive that 'sucks in' your disc ala ps3 style- then you're stuffed.

ZCS isn't terrific quality to begin with, especially the Hatsuiku Status disc (the full concert DVD is...a bit better?)

Oddly enough, the old PS3 model's slot-loading suck-in drives were able to accept and play 8cm CDs like ZCS. My laptop is a slot-loader, but I didn't want to risk putting it in there, and I played ZCS on my PS3 when I first got it.

Just got Ringo BoOK. Pretty fancy, but it makes me want to track down all the old, rare merchandise that's displayed in it.

There's a missing "gomen" on one of the tracks (So Cold) in WtH. ZCS purchase is completely justified to retrieve it - plus it's a cool little set.

@Vorpax: I have the discs and a suitable drive. PM me if you need an upgrade on those mp3's. These days you'll probably only get ZCS used which might be scratched and you don't even seem to have the right drive to play them either. Waste of your time and money.
