[quote="Son Goshin"]Nice, perhaps I'll have to get this one. Although it's pretty expensive, even for Japanese standards. Maybe it'sbecause it's new, but it's 56.56, while other DVD from the pillows are $10 cheaper. Regardless, it'd be nice if they could bring subtitles back to these releases. I really want to understand what they're talking about on this "life advice" bonus feature![/quote]
It's still 26% off on Amazon! But yeah... I guess after shipping, it will still cost around 56USD...

Also, on the official site, they posted that you can get a "the pillows x FLCL" collaboration logo sticker if you purchase from Tower Records.

Tower Records doesn't discount it much though... so I think I'll stick with my Amazon pre-order.

Agreed, gotta go with Amazon.jp. I also find their international shipping rate to be more reasonable than other services, so that's a huge plus.

I never got anything for the two campaigns I participated in. Laaame.

Do you remember which ones those were? I think it was around the label switch to AVEX that I stopped receiving the goods, so I stopped trying. Not sure if anyone else here tried or received stuff, but I assumed the AVEX regime was turning a blind eye to overseas fans.

If that was the case, hopefully they'll send us stuff again now that they left AVEX. I remember that a friend of mine was upset because he didn't get anything from the 400% Kubrick campaign, but I received that. So, it might really just be luck of the draw.

Thanks for sharing your report. Triple encore!!

I think Electric Rays and Revolution Is My Name were involved. The campaigns were definitely after the switch to Avex.

I did a bit of searching and refreshed my memory about the last campaigns I sent in for. They were...

-Tokyo Bambi/REVOLUTION IS MY NAME/WAKE UP! DVD
Prize: Busterkun Kubrick 400% (Glow in the dark version) or Busterkun wristband

-New Animal/Electric Rays/PIED PIPER
Prize: Busterkun plush (black or white)

However, the first campaign they did with AVEX was the one that I got the orange 400% Kubrick from... I'm pretty sure. So, I guess they didn't decide to exclude overseas fans until the next campaign... or we were all very unlucky and not chosen in the lottery.

This was the campaign, by the way:
-Scarecrow/Wake up! album/LOSTMAN GO TO AMERICA THE PILLOWS MY FOOT TOUR IN USA DVD
Prize: 400% Kubrick orange version or wristband (I think... it's really hard to find information on this stuff without hitting the Wayback Machine).
I remember at least one other overseas fan who got the Kubrick as well (Kaze no Mirai).

Ahh very interesting, considering I just got the 400% orange buster.
Seriously that thing is huge. He towers over me with three giant sized swords while I work at my desk.

The performance of DEBRIS is available to watch now on [url=http://gyao.yahoo.co.jp/player/11043/v00005/v0000000000000000015/]GYAO[/url].

If you're outside Japan and don't feel like loading up a proxy to access it, I've ripped it for the [url=https://www.facebook.com/pillowsjp/videos/580071202176006/]Facebook fan page[/url].

Less than 2 weeks from release. Pumped.

Gotta love the "day before release" Japan delivery.

That cover looks amazing in that lighting.

The limited edition comes with a reversible cover. The art on the other side is equally as cool.

I was supposed to get it today but thanksgiving.

Got my copy in Saturday, and it was a pretty nice show. For one thing, Blagodarnost definitely sounds better live. Come on Ghost sounded awesome, even with Sawao just doing vocals. It was nice to finally hear it live. I got the insert though for the campaign, but I'm not sure what to do with it. Was there supposed to be a sticker in there? Am I supposed to cut something off of it? Maybe I'll upload a picture of it, and if you wouldn't mind Mafu, you can tell us what we're supposed to fill out, what's supposed to be blank, etc. Thanks!

You'll need the little coupon that comes with the upcoming album (likely to be released in March). Just keep the postcard for now. I'm gonna make a special thread will complete instructions for the campaign soon.
