*General's note - This discussion is particularly on the uniform, and the connotations of the uniform when it is used as a costume in performance. Non-Members may not PM the General or Officers with responses.

A little shopping reminder from Captain Groovy:

With the four anniversary singles now up for preorder to the general public, many of you are probably getting ready to pull out your credit cards and make a purchase.

So (as I have in the past) I wanted to remind you, if you're planning on buying the singles, please consider buying them from a Japan based store, such as Amazon JP , CDJapan, HMV or a shopping service such as i-TM4U. (this community's official shopping service) All these sites are reputable dealers, with websites that make it easy for english speaking customers to navigate and use.

Why?

Because sales from stores based in Japan will be counted in the Oricon sales chart. Oricon is the Japanese version of the Billboard polls we have in states.
-and as fans we want to help the artist and contribute to that list, right? Maybe Gackt can manage a few more No. 1 singles!

A little side note: Despite popular belief, sales from YesAsain DO NOT contribute to the Oricon charts. They are a Hong Kong based company.
