I spent over $2k to get this CD early!
Okay, so that's not quite true. But I did fly all the way to Japan (Shinjuku) to attend AQUAPLUS LIVE+FESTA 2008. Just getting the event tickets cost me $400 total because I wanted a good seat. After some rounds of Yahoo Auction action, I (through someone I know in Japan) ended up with two sets of tickets, the best one being for the first floor, row 6, seat 38. I bet nobody even realized an American was sitting there. $1,300+ for airfare, $200+ for hotel room, and other expenses were mostly to see Suara-chan. I also got to see these two (Kogure Ema and Ono Ryouko), plus Yuzuki Ryouka, Nazuka Kaori, Tanaka Rie, Mizuki Nana, Nakahara Mai, and many more, for the first time! I even got to see Kazane (Sakurai Harumi) there. She was, just as she is on the "Homerarete Nobiru Radio PP." Not a bad deal if you ask me. I'm not so sure if I'd want to do it again, though, for other reasons.
Anyway, this is one of my current internet radio favorites, so I'm happy to be able to get it *before* its release date.
This CD features a special session with Rikimaru Noriko as the guest. Good stuff. Enough said.
Still unopened. Highly likely the first and the only copy in the USA as of this writing.
