Hey, where'd this thread come from?

Albums: MM, SS, UM, KZK, HF (special edition), Kyouiku, Adult (Pour Homme)
Singles: Zecchou-shuu, Ringo no Uta, Gunjou Biyori (I bought this one by accident thinking it was Kyouiku, two months before Kyouiku was released :lol: )
Random Stuff (which I didn't realize were pirated until after I bought them): Complete Singles (with songs by three other random artists at the end), Singles Collection (which turned out to be the same album, just without the other random songs :lol:), MTV Live DVD (which is Seiteki Healing 1&2 and Hatsuiku Status Gokuritsu Japon -- the case has something in Chinese written on the back :D)

I just have Honnou T_T

Whenever I see this topic I think of the song lyric "Who wears short shorts?"

Is there a deeper meaning behind those lyrics?? o_O

Hehehhe, Fluffie's purchases are so funny. XDD

My Electric Mole DVD should be coming in the mail sometime this weeeeek!!!! >_<

I began collecting on eBay until I had all her solo albums (this around the time TJ was formed). Then I began dropping the yen for every first press release from CDJapan since then (starting with Sounan).

I've only got physical copies of a few of her pre-TJ singles (maybe 4 or so). I pick them up occasionally from eBay. Like was mentioned above, when you already have everything in digital, it's hard to justify the price unless you're a hard-core collector.

And, I bet I have one you don't, Glathannus! Some guy on eBay mislabeled his CD and I got the Ringo no Uta single when I thought I was getting the Electric Mole DVD... as a consolation he sent me a CD of his radio program where he'd played a bunch of SR stuff (mostly B-sides). ^-^

And, I've purchased probably 10 copies of KSK as gifts.

There isn't a B-Side I don't already own. I merely don't own them in any compilations, YET...
As I understand it, most of the Shiina Ringo compilations floating around are Taiwan bootlegs, but two oddball legitimate promo compilations from Japan (of mostly B-Sides) actually exist and I've seen them. Could be that's what you have, in which case it's far more rare than anything most fans here own.

I'm still gloating over my zero-press Gips with the forbidden cover art, and the disc itself comes in gold instead of blue. It's part of a special double cardboard folding package with Tsumi to Batsu, but that other half of the set is nothing extraordinary. The set is a "Not For Sale" package branded by Toshiba-EMI Japan, and it's probably the rarest thing I've come across aside from Shiina Ringo audio cassette tapes.

what forbidden cover art?
O.o
she cutting herself?!

Hehe, you're taking me far too seriously. This is a recording of a one-off radio program some guy broadcast, probably on middle-of-the-night college radio somewhere in the US (or even on the Internet) and maybe 50 people listened to it. There's nothing unique on it (other than the guy's voice between some tracks), and it's not anything official. But I'm sure it's rare. :)
