This is another one of those non-anime music posts that no one cares about, but I’ll just write on anyway, since I love Bump of Chicken and their music. Their music is really awesome, and they should be given much more attention and love.
Anyway, coming out on 14th May, Orbital Period. Don’t be mistaken by the name as it has the same name as their album released last December. This time, it’s the DVD version containing the latest PVs. I’m looking forward to this, since their PVs have been rather good. Here’s the PV tracklist.

It was nightfall by the time we were done with our Byousoku journey, but it was still rather early, since the sky turns dark at around 6pm in Japan. Since Shibuya was just a few stops away, we decided to head over for some photo taking. There was a HMV at Shibuya too, so I was planning to grab a couple of CDs there, as well as help a friend get something he requested.

I guess this post’s title could be applied for 2 matters. My examination, as well as my Gurren Lagann DVDs. Just this morning, the FEDEX delivery man brought in my amazon package. To my surprise, it was intact. No ripped up box with missing DVDs that were sent to the MDA, unlike my previous package. Whew, I guess luck is on my side this time. I hope it’s on my side too, when I order the Evangelion 1.0 DVD.
Just in case you are bored of me blabbering on and on, I shall reveal evidence of the loot.
Still in the pretty shrink wrap
The fifth DVD of Gurren Lagann was released a few weeks ago, and I finally got it. There was the regular edition as well as the limited release edition. A cookie for anyone who guessed which one I got my hands on.

The picture says it all. This CD did not have any bubble wrap or protection of any sort. And it costs like 55 bucks, so it’s too expensive for me to get another copy. Damn it. This really ruined my day.

Even before Gurren Lagann ended, I have always wanted to get the original limited edition R2 DVDs. When I went to Akihabara last money, the son-of-a-gun shopkeeper refused to sell me the DVDs as he kept insisting that I did not understand Japanese and hence was not suitable for purchasing them. That arsehole. He pissed me off, that bastard.
After that, I decided to order online, and unfortunately, they were all out of stock. All 3 volumes that have currently been released are totally sold out. The only way of getting them? Yahoo Japan Auctions. Shipping’s not cheap, and the Japanese are crazy people when it comes to bidding on auctions. Hence, my chances of getting them at an acceptable price are pretty low.
The DVDs are awesome looking, especially volume 2, which comes together with the box to contain till volume 4.
Here are the pictures of the 3 volumes.
