Sheet Music Available
Feb 13,2009
CDJapan now offers sheet music!!
I'd like to thank "Slavery" who suggested to offer sheet music on my blog entry of Oct.17th, "Always Open for Requests" Thank you!!
Here are some recommended items.
Guitar Book feat. Kaoru & Die should be a must-have for those who worship Dir en grey! I know gamers would love to have Yasashii Piano Solo Best of FINAL FANTASY. Anime fans might want Otome de! Anison which features various anime songs of popular animes.
Deji Deji Nikki 100 Kai Kinen! Ayumi Hamasaki Bon (Title subject to change) is also available for pre-orders, and this is already selling extremely well.
Arashi fans, please pre-order ARASHI Around Asia 2008 in Tokyo before it is too late!!
OK so tomorrow is Valentine's day. In Japan, girls confess their love to the boy they love and give chocolates on Valentine's day. That is the original tradition, but actually there are 2 types of Valentine chocolates. The first is the sincerely in-love chocolate which are given to the one we actually love. Then there are obligatory chocolates which girls give to co-workers, bosses, and other guy-friends that we give as a tradition but does not mean that we love them.
I'm not sure if everyone can see this link but I'll post a sample of "Sincere" chocolates. "Sincere" chocolates are pretty much handmade and obligatory chocolates are often bought at stores.
In middle school or high school, popular guys receive so many chocolates. Shy girls stick chocolates with a little love note in boy's lockers and brave girls call them up and hand it to them. So it's an exciting day for boys in Japan. Well maybe only for popular guys.
Then on March 14th, there is a day called "White Day" where guys who received chocolates give back a little present to the girl who gave it to him!!

Yaaay! I'm so glad for the diary! I also saw the USB version of NEXT LEVEL out too but by the time I checked my bank account to see if I could afford it it was sold out!!!! waah~! =[ Any plans to get more of them in? Thanks for trying for the Deji Diary though, I'll be putting in my order maybe on Thursday when I get my next pay money :p
I'm taking my boyfriend to see some Monster Trucks tomorrow night - no romantic Valentine dinner for me!! Have Mana or any of the CDJ staff got a funny Valentine Day story? Where you went to a strange place for Valentine's or perhaps a story of a funny love confession (maybe putting chocolates into the wrong locker? o_O) wouldn't that be strange!

V> Well I am definitely not a "rose" girl so I prefer lilies.
And I am very sorry to inform that we can not supply "SHANKARA -breathing-" . We need to make a deal with our supplier at least a month before the pre-orders start and it was too late now. So sorry.

Kariya> Yes, we only had 24 USBs available and they were sold out in a flash. We can't get anymore in stock either. Thanks for ordering Deji Deji! I'm sure you will like it. It should be a great book.
I actually do have a sad episode of Valentine's day.
Last year I made a cake to give it to the guy I liked. I drove my car to go see him and gave a box with my cake inside. But after I came home I saw 2 cakes just lying around on the backseat. That's when I realized that somehow the cakes just flew out of the box when I made a wild turn somewhere and gave an empty box to the guy!!
I don't know why I couldn't notice how light it was without the cake. Oh well!!

Chocolates are the most popular present to give on V-day but anything sweet is OK. The guys usually give a little present back. So I think it is a better deal for girls!!

Anime/Manga Artbooks
Hello again, Mana-sama!!! Just passing by to say that I came out with another suggestion for the site... I know that CdJapan already has a special page for "Books", but I miss a lot of Artbooks from various anime and manga series. I think it'll be a good idea if you put a "Specialized page" for Artbooks in the "Anime" session, as well as expand the catalog for those products ^__^Thank you very much and keep up with the great work!!!
See you next time =)
Bye bye ^^

The Valentine`s Day in Japan is so interesting Mana. Mmmmmm, chocolates!! I would like to receive ones too -some day-.
I`m sorry your sad history of the cake, but don`t worry Mana: I envy this little present to you for the sadness away. It`s an asian lily!!

Ah! I forget it: in my country the tradition is give chocolates, flowers(specially roses), cuddly within balloons and ballons in a shape of a heart to girls. So, my society it`s not very fair with us the guys. All for girls in 80%, the rest for us 20%.
P.S. Do you know the official page of Berryz Kobo, Mana?

Aww, ken the flowers are so sweet!!Thank you! I searched for the official Berryz Kobo site but it doesn't seem like they have one. There is a little introduction of them on the Hello Project website but it's bad quality.

You have right, Mana! It`s the most horrible introduction that I had seen in all my life. HOW IS POSSIBLE THIS? Did Hello Project don`t think in your artist? Ridiculous page!!! I`m a dissapointed fan now.
But thank you again for your great effort Mana. Don`t worry: it`s not your problem.
Good to see you liked my little gift... Je,je.
