First of all, thank you to CDJapan for obtaining this for me via proxy shopping. I've been trying to get my hands on it for years and now I can finally call it mine! I'm extremely biased as I attended this very concert; needless to say, every GACKT fan should watch this amazing performance.

J. S. Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier / All [SACD Hybrid] [Import Disc w/ Japanese obi] [Tower Records Limited]Friedrich GuldaClassic Gulda in superior sound
These classic MPS recordings, which have undergone numerous releases on RBCD on different labels (e.g. Philips), have never sounded better than on this set of 4 hybrid SACDs. Although MPS remastered the tapes a few years earlier, this new remastering (in genuine DSD) for this Tower Records release was done by Christoph Stickel in Vienna, using the original tapes. I've been fascinated by these recordings for over 30 years, and I can say that you won't get a better-sounding version of these recordings.

Kumano Brush Select Shop Concealer Make-up Christmas Limited SetNice concept of base set
The slant silver fox & goat brush SS3-3 gives a light to medium finish with powder or liquid. It's sleek and comfortable for sensitive skins. Quite buildable with powder without caking. The SS3-1 large paddle with black raccoon hair is easy to use as concealer brush both for complexion or under eyes. And it's best used under the foundation layer for its brstile is able to press concealer into pores or lines. It can be a little bit prickly on cheeks sometimes. The SS3-2 small brush has too much black raccoon hair bundled tightly together (too thick for its hair type) and is prickly for under eyes application, spot concealer on face or cream eyeshadows are a better way of using it.

Mahler : Symphony No. 2 [Resurrection] (2024 Remaster) [Tower Records Limited] [SACD Hybrid]Claudio Abbado, Chicago Symphony OrchestraImpressive recording and remastering
Symphonies 4 (Vienna Philharmonic), 5 and 6 (Chicago SO) were released a few years ago as SHM SACDs, which sound excellent thanks to their remastering (Emil Berliner Studios). Now Tower Records has commissioned Emil Berliner Studios to remaster the 2nd Symphony (Chicago SO) for hybrid SACD. I listened to the SACD last night and am impressed not only by the sound but also by the interpretation. This really is a magnificent, colorful and sonically outstanding recording.

Brahms : Complete Piano Works [Import Disc]Peter RoselSupreme sounding Brahms
This set of 2 single layer SACD contains Peter Rosel's analogue Eterna recordings made between 1972 and 1974 with Brahms complete works for solo piano and the piano quintett op. 34 f minor. All recordings are newly remastered and it's the first high resolution release of this timeless, respected, although somewhat neglected recordings. The sound is to my ears superb and during listening, I completely forgot the actual age of these recordings. It's hard to overestimate this release - highly recommended!

[Shipping Estimate: Late Oct.] Kirby and the Forgotten Land (Kirby Discovery) Complete Soundtrack [Limited Release Edition] [Kirby Portal Shop / Amazon.co.jp / Charaani Limited]Beautiful
The soundtrack and the frame arrived in excellent packaging and condition; the soundtrack is among the best the series has ever put out, and the picture frame is exquisite on the shelf. The fact that it plays a little song when wound up is charming as well. Overall a purchase that did not disappoint.

Bruckner : Symphony Collection (No. 0 No. 5 No. 7 No. 8 No. 9) Live (2023 Mastering) [SACD Hybrid] [Tower Records Limited]Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, Yomiuri Nippon Symphony OrchestraSkrowaczewski's most impressive Bruckner
These late Japanese live recordings are highly recommended for all Bruckner enthusiasts not only because of the unique, superlative and immersive sound, but also because of the sheer intensity and passion of the music making. This is an album for the desert island, hands down.

Brahms : Piano Concerto No. 1 No. 2, Schumann : Piano Concerto, Weber: Concertostuck (2024 Remaster) [SACD Hybrid] [Tower Records Limited]Alfred Brendel, Hans Schmidt-Isselstedt, Bernard Haitink, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Claudio Abbado, London Symphony OrchestraBeautiful recordings
This set of 2 hybrid SACDs contains some very fine recordings of Brahms piano concertos in gloriously remastered sound. If you have a soft spot (like me) for the 1970s analogue sound and the Concertgebouw orchestra, then you'll love this new release.

LOVEBITES the Thin Line Between Love and Hate Zip-hoodie (XXL) NEODAI-227229LOVEBITESFine Quality but small
The quality of the hoodie is great, especially the Zip looks very good. The size on the other hand is much too small for my taste - I am 179 cm tall and way too fat, so I ordered XXL instead of XL. The arms are a bit short even for me, and the overall size feels more like a small XL to me. My brother (196 cm, 110 kg) could not wear this, it is too small for XXL.

[Secondhand] Pretty Guardian (Bishojo Senshi) Sailor Moon [Complete Edition] 2Naoko TakeuchiFinishes the dark kingdom arc
This volume covers the second half of the dark kingdom arc, and adds the first chapter of the Black Moon arc. I guess it's for teasing a new beginning and not confuse new readers that there's still more content to discover.

[Shipping Estimate: Usually in 2-3 Months] "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (Frieren: Beyond Journey's End)" Mimic Plushie [Sunday Shop Limited]Cute Mimic/Frieren plushie
This Mimic/Frieren plushie is absolutely cute and adorable. It's really cute to see the Mimic prove that it's the biggest archnemesis of Frieren in this plushie that shows Frieren being swallowed by the Mimic. It's absolutely charming and definitely a must-have/must-buy for any Frieren fan out there, most especially fans of the Mimic.

P3R (Persona 3 Reload) Clear Magnet SetBeautiful refrigerator stickers
It's a pity that it's a little difficult to use as a badge. Maybe you can suck it with another strong magnet. It's good to put it on the bag.
