Vampire Knight 5 [w/ CD, Limited Edition]AnimationGreat Item for all Fans!
The last DVD of Vampire Knight is, once again, an amazing product! The Limited Edition is a must buy, as it includes a special Drama CD, the follow-up to the one that came packaged with DVD 1 Limited Edition version. It also includes the premium booklet, jacket card and special pinup card (the jacket picture with normal colors), and a mailing form to take part in a drawing for tickets to attend the Vampire Knight Chocolate Event (sadly, yet again only for Japanese residents). The DVD not only includes the last two episodes of the anime, but it also includes a special mini animation, based on one of the extra chapters of the manga, and creditless versions of the opening (all three versions) and the ending. Because of all the extras included in it, this Limited Edition is worth the buy even if you missed some of the First Press Editions of the other volumes.

Suna no Oshiro [Limited Edition]Kanon WakeshimaA Beautiful Release!
Kanon Wakeshima's "Suna no Oshiro" is a wonderful song, mysterious and entrancing. "skip turn step", is a somewhat happy and rather catchy tune, but still in the same style, that contrasts nicely with the main track. The orgel version of Suna no Oshiro is a nice final touch to complete the single. If you're a true fan, make SURE you get a copy of the Limited Edition! It not only includes instrumental versions of both tracks, but also includes a Vampire Knight Guilty wide-cap sticker, and a sticker (one out of two, "Star Girl" and "Dolly Cat", chosen randomly) drawn and signed by Kanon herself! I got sticker B, "Dolly Cat". It is really cute and beautifully drawn. I would love to have both stickers if I could! As I received this product before December 12th, I was also able to use the ConnecteD feature to see Kanon's live performance of her first single "still doll" at the Individual Fashion Expo IV. It was a great performance, both her vocals and her cello solos were perfect! I am so happy I pre-ordered this item, I was very gladly surprised to also receive a double poster! On one side, it shows the promotional picture of Suna no Oshiro, Kanon looks beautiful in it! On the other side, it shows the Vampire Knight Guilty characters, the same picture of the wide-cap sticker, but larger and prettier. In short, the Limited Edition version of Suna no Oshiro is a product of great quality, made to please fans. I will definitely continue to support Kanon's work! I am truly looking forward to her upcoming album! (hopefully there will be pre-ordering bonuses for it, too!)

Static rts Kingdom Hearts II SoraFigures & DollsSublime
I am SO happy that I managed to order this!! The statue is perfect in every way, the details are exactly as shown as (if not better than) the promotional pictures! The packaging is also very beautiful. I would not have expected any less from an item of the Kingdom Hearts merchandise. It is a product of an amazing quality and totally worth the buy!

Vampire Knight 4AnimationAn Epic Volume!
A MUST BUY for all Vampire Knight fans!! DVD 4 brings the story to its climax, and it will leave you yearning for the release of DVD 5! As usual, the First Press is lovely to have. It brings the usual bonuses: a jacket card, a special pinup card, a special booklet (with setting, item, and character designs), and the third and final ticket for ordering the Vampire Knight Drama CD. The character design is stunning in these three episodes, and the video quality makes them much more beautiful. The episodes also include the second and third versions of the opening. A simply amazing product. If you are a shoujo fan, you will love this!

Ai no Uta [Jacket A / CD+DVD]Kumi KodaBeautiful Love Song
Great single by Koda Kumi! The A-side, Ai no Uta, is a lovely, powerful ballad, while the B-side, Come Over, is an upbeat, catchy tune. The First Press Edition comes with a jazzy remix of Ai no Uta (Urban Kiss). It's a very good track, so be sure to order quickly if you're a Kumi fan! The DVD includes the single version of the Ai no Uta music video, which is different from the one included in her Kingdom album. The making of is quite interesting to see, as Kumi herself explains the story of the song and the video. Even if you've bought Kingdom, this single is worth the buy, not only because of the other version of the music video, but more also because of the B-side and the remix. Guaranteed you'll love it!

Vampire Knight 3AnimationAnother must buy!
Great packaging for a great anime series! Just like DVD 2, the third installment in the Vampire Knight anime series comes with some lovely First Press bonuses, to match the special edition of volume 1: a special silver-colored jacket card, a pinup card (jacket picture in regular colors), a special booklet (includes setting, item, and character designs), and a ticket to order a special drama CD (Japan only). Lovely animation and amazing music, and the widescreen presentation just makes it all look better! I'm really looking forward to the Vampire Knight Guilty DVD release!

Taboo [CD+DVD / Jacket A]Kumi KodaKoda Kumi is Back!!
Kumi's latest single is a must buy! The A-side, TABOO, is simply addictive! The B-side, Always, is a beautiful soft song. The TABOO remix is very good as well, great to hear but also great to dance to! The DVD version comes with two versions of the Music Video (the alternate version with more footage of Kumi herself), and a Photo Slideshow which shows photos of Kumi throughout the video. The packaging is superb for a single, the booklet design is very original, and it's printed in glossy, photographic paper. Whether it's her ballads or her catchty songs you like best, TABOO is a MUST HAVE for all Koda Kumi fans!!

Kumi Koda Live Tour 2008 -Kingdom-Kumi KodaAfter Black Cherry Tour...
Another amazing show by Koda Kumi! Kuu-chan never fails to deliver a wonderful live performance with all her energy and talent. This live will capture you from start to finish, showing Kuu-chan's "cool", "beautiful", and "cute" sides, it's filled with great vocals and some very funny surprises. The backstage featured in the second disc lets you see all the hard work put by Kuu-chan and all her staff into making this live, it is a very rewarding experience. Also, the "Song Menu" Digest lets you see Kuu-chan performing the rest of the songs in the Song Menu, taken from other live tour dates. Even if you've seen the TV version of this show, you will not regret buying this DVD. The full concert truly shines!

Vampire Knight 2AnimationGreat Collection!
A must have for all Vampire Knight fans! I'm so glad I Pre-Ordered this DVD, it was First Press. The First Press bonuses follow the same pattern as those included in the DVD 1 Limited Edition (which I also recommend). The first bonuses are two cards, one which acts as the jacket, the other one is the jacket picture but with normal colors. Then comes a beautiful black booklet, printed in silver ink, which includes episode summaries, character and setting sketches, and a message from Matsuri Hino-san (the mangaka). The First Press also comes with a card which must be mailed (I'm think it's available to Japan addresses only, sadly) in order to acquire a special drama CD, which features the Vampire Knight Internet radio broadcasts. The DVD may only contain 3 episodes, but it is more than enough. The video and audio quality is excelent, even when using a computer to watch. There are no subtitles, but if you have read the manga or seen the anime before, you will have no trouble understanding. Good animation and smooth plot flow. This is a great anime for Shojo lovers, specially for those who like a little blood. (Enjoyed best after reading the manga! ^_^)
