I dunno what the fuck to think of this. But yeah. The DVDs are worth grabbing regardless.

But damn all of these score terribly. The Saturday Night Gossip one is OK... but... that can fluctuate dramatically depending on what rip is used.

SS is really brickwalled (maybe it's on purpose), the DVD version is DR 7 while the regular is DR 4, well it's a improvement. The rip used was Amazon mp3 for SS, the folk even comented: "needless to say it's very loud. Album peak = 1.35 in -V 0, ouch." While I believe the loudness on SS is for artistic purposes, that's definitely not the case with Sunny's mastering which is terrible. I mean, I'm not a musician, I'm a noob tbh and even someone like me can notice it. However, Ringo being a experienced artist can't, I wonder if she is deaf or something.

How much did you get yours for? I'm starting to think about getting these sets now, hearing about these cameos...

As for my collection, I've got a lot of her albums, sure, but I love getting magazines that she was featured in. There are some I wish I had shelled out for but didn't (like when her fan/actress Nikaidou Fumi interviewed her for Popeye, a men's fashion magazine...), but anything she's on the cover of or has a shoot for/long interview in, I gotta have...

I used Buyee.jp to get them off of Yahoo Auctions. It was ~$100 USD total for the 2 of them, but another ~$55 for the Buyee's shipping and service fees.

The cameos aren't really much. Each disc just has her show up for a couple of seconds at the beginning and the end, and there's different kind of visual equalizer-ish graphical effect going on for each different song.

BTW, Nikaidou Fumi came to the New York for a film festival last year and she's just as great in person as she is on screen. Andou Sakura came this year and the same can be said for her.

Buying both was a stupid thing to do in my personal experience. I've never fucking touched the CD version :-p

Fumi seems like a great person! I hope Ringo does a few songs for her, because I love everything she wrote for Rie (even though the relationship between Ringo and Rie was different, probably, as well as them being around the same age)

Not familiar with Andou Sakura, but perhaps I should look into her I will keep my eyes open in case a good deal pops up. I heard there are voices when you open the box, but do the DVD and CD versions have the same voice? :O

(sorry for so many questions!!)

If you've had the chance to see Hibi Rock, Fumi can totally pull off being a pop/rock star. As for Andou, check her out in Love Exposure or 100 Yen Love.

The boxes are identical. Same product code and everything. The only difference is one of them has the CD logo on the outer box, and the other has the DVD logo. As for the contents, the DVD version has Watashi to Houden, and the CD one doesn't. As for the sound, it'll say "Maido Ari" when it opens, if the battery is still alive. They work intermittently on mine.

I've heard good things about that film! I will definitely check all of your recs out (and hopefully find a good deal on the mora DVDs at least) when I get a chance to do so ^.^ maido ari~

I have MoRa sets if anyone wants them. In fact, I own almost EVERYTHING SR/TJ related stuff, from little trinkets to Adult fragrances to posters to T-Shirts to disc releases.

I'm actually trying to sell as much stuff as possible since I'm doing a big move soon, so if you are interested in anything give it a try and ask me, I'll charge less than yahoo auctions and proxies.
