Just to add the PV's are £1.89 in the UK (resists urge to complain about the UK being overpriced again) and the version of the Ghost PV they have does NOT have the clips from the Sarah Connor Chronicles in it.

It's the proper PV - just Gackt and the dancers XD

I think my trip to Japan cured me of moaning about UK prices! I paid about £70 for the Fuurin Kazan highlights DVD (2 DVDs) - wouldn't have been half that in the UK.

Having bought loads of discs over the years in Hong Kong (where a pukka licensed copy of Moonchild will set you back about £3), I found Japan curiously un-Asian in its disc-pricing. in fact, I walked about not buying anything for a few days, convinced that I was screwing up the exchange calculations! You obviously were better prepared, whereas I'd assumed that Japan was Hong Kong in yen.

I've spent a few years ordering things online from Japanese stores and am used to paying Japanese prices + postage + custom charges so to be able to pick things off the shelf and not worry about postage or customs made everything seem so much cheaper!

I also took the approach of thinking exclusively in yen when I was there. Instead of converting it into pounds I looked at it as "I have xxx yen left so I can afford to spend xxx yen on this". Otherwise I'd have had a heart attack after hitting the tour goods stand haha.

Hee - yeah, I had the tour goods heart attack but was still happy!

I bought all these EPs off iTunes but - after i'd bought them - I wondered whether the iTunes sales count towards anything that gets Gackt up the ratings. Do we know? If they don't, I'd consider buying discs through the usual channels.

As I only ever play music on digital kit, the iTunes format suits me very well (discs just collect dust) - but I'd like the sales to count for Gackt in charts, rather than just in royalties.

[karadin.livejournal.com]

They count toward his overseas sales, not sure if Oricon ranks them, any purchase thats official is a good purchase.

Thanks. I'd like to help Gackt's position in the ratings count I realize that overseas sales are probably not what counts.
