No ni Saku Hana no Yo Ni POSTER CONTEST

I have some swag to give away!

This original Japanese poster from Nippon Crown advertised the release of Gackt's  single
No ni Saku Hana no Yo Ni
It is BIG - 20 1/4 inches wide and 28 inches long



The poster came folded with tiny pinholes in the corners
(possibly from when it was a store display)
It has been restored and will be sent to you rolled in a tube.
(sorry about the date from the camera-which for some reason is wrong anyway)

To Enter: Make a comment including some trivia from the release of this single. Any sort of trivia, even what flower is featured on the cover.
*please only comment if you are entering, thank you.

The Contest Ends August 15
A winner will be drawn at random from all entries

Gackt's single "No ni saku hana no yo ni", was first sang in the graduation ceremony of the Ryogoken Ritsumai High School. An invitation to attend the high school's 30th graduation ceremony was sent to Gackt's radio program, and the icon responded promptly, making a surprise appearance to everyone's astonishment. :)

The idea and base melody for this song came to him in a dream 4 years before he actually recorded it.

No ni Saku Hana no Yo Ni is Gackt's 26th single. This song was written for the graduates of Maiko High School in Hyogo Prefecture after Gackt received a letter from one of the students. He performed the song at their graduation ceremony in 2006.

"no ni saku hana you ni" roughly translated "Like a flower blooming in a field"

The single comes in two versions, the regular one which features Gackt looking up on a white background with flower petals, and the limited one, which features him looking down on a black background with flower petals as well.
The limited version includes a DVD with the PV and a music sheet made out of a very nice sturdy paper, and due to the DVD it comes in a thick double CD-case. The regular version costs 1000yen and the limited 1500yen. The catalog numbers are CRCP-10160 (limited) and CRCP-10161.
For both versions, the CD itself is white with a flower petal spiral. In the limited version, the DVD is black with a flower petal spiral as well. If you take out the CD/CD and DVD, you will see a whole flower on the inlay of the regular edition, and flower petals on the inlays of the limited one.
There is no information about the recording musicians etc. given in the booklet.
