Yes it is expensive  I wanted to secure them though as there's been no word on the limitation. 

If JPU announce anything I can always cancel my CDJapan order 

I also order a LP from CDJapan, lucky I had a few points save up which bring the price down.

is this a common thing to have a batch of vinyl go on sale for no apparent reason? im wondering if they are raising funds for a future project. maybe another world tour???

Cluppo (Miku Kobato) from BAND-MAID will upload a new MV on Youtube in 5 Minutes!

Brand new upload. Sense:

It's not a bad song, but I'm a little disappointed in MV. They've show it all before and not once. I want something new and cinematic.

for those who ordered the vinyls, have you received them yet? and if you have and have listened to them, is it everything you hoped and dreamed for?

i received mine already. ordered all of them. amazing packaging. i just haven't had a chance to play them yet, as my "jam room" is still under construction. once the jam room is complete and all set up, i am taking a full day off to go through every record i have purchased since construction began, starting with the band maid records.

I ordered this, but they haven't been delivered yet and probably won't be soon. So I'm still looking forward to it.

I got their New Beginning vinyl, I have listen to it and I thought the first song Trill sound was not very good, rest of them I am happy with. The price we for paid them I think LP could have being a bit thicker.

Acoustic streaming live for Christmas!

Band Maid followed the step of Scandal,
they performed without the maid outfits for the first time

Yes, they looked more normal and elegant. Also, acoustic versions were a nice interpretations of Band Maid songs. The whole stream was nicely done.

Congratulations to them for that! I was hoping that time would come soon... They'll probably lose some fans, just as SCANDAL did when they graduated from school uniforms. But they can go forward now, that new image was always waiting....

Most likely this is a one-time performance. Especially for Christmas. I think they will continue to perform in their usual costumes.

You are probably right, and actually this is not the first time they've performed "out of costume." But after all, they are already a bit over-age to be hired by a real maid café. As they continue to develop, won't they need to hang those uniforms up sooner or later?

They said something like, it is embarrassing not to be in their usual fighting cloths... Also, the acoustic live for Christmas is very nice, they might do it from time to time, but not too often. I agree with both.

On their insta and website they mention about a US tour in 2022. No details yet. This is very ambitious at the moment...

Yeah I don't think they gonna get rid of their uniforms anytime soon, unless they want to demolish the whole concept of the band.

I really enjoyed the concert, everyone looked great and sounded amazing. The acoustic arrangement, the different band arrangements, the inclusion of extra vocals from Misa and Akane, the vibe and atmosphere, all well done. My favorite was the No God and Sayonakidori part .

The announcement of the U.S tour was also a pleasant surprise 

so i have been stuck working through the holiday. and didnt get a chance to see this online concert. is it too late to buy a ticket and still watch it? on the site, you can get a 1 week archive ticket. but theres also a 30day archive ticket. if i bought the 1 week normal ticket today (if thats even possible) would i still have a week to watch it or will it only be good until friday?

My ticket says, I can view it till 2022/01/01 23:59 JST. The other one is actually a 3 months ticket: Long Archive Ticket・・・March 25th 2022 (Fri) 11:59 P.M. It's a deadline not a time period.

I was not expecting such a superb performance and I was not aware that I like the acoustic set up so much. The more I watch it, the more I like it. So, I regret somewhat not buying the other one, but at least I am forced to watch it. Otherwise, you just postpone the viewing since there is plenty of time...

Cluppo will release her first CD March 09. You can already pre-order it on CD Japan.
