Kuwatani Natsuko talked about the misunderstanding during the MC which she gave after she sang the song. Basically it was down to miscommunication between her and the organisers, as when she asked the organisers what song she was suppose to sing, they merely gave her the answer that it is “that song” and “that song everyone wanting to hear”, so she though it was the other character song “Yubi de Kyu!” which she though was the more popular song of the two.

This, plus the whole adlib nature of the skits was what gave me the impression that this concert was put together quite poorly despite being such a big IP with a strong financial backing and hence me general disappoint with this DVD (as well as the poor video quality and lack of goodies etc).

double, I know what you’re talking about. I need to stop spending so much myself, as I need to save up for a few upcoming ventures

Stripey, coming from you, your greeting means a lot. Thanks! For the tissue bit, I’ve gotten them from other stores when randomly buying stuff in the past. Guess they do it for kicks and giggles. And on hatsu inu, good choice… not that I’ve watched it or anything *whistles innocently* XD

wackedfoo, while still not official there’s a 90% chance it will be licensed for R1 land. And no problem about the upload, I was glad to help (and only realized after I uploaded it that MOE already did it a few hours back. d’oh).

Fisherman Horizon, yea but I think it’s worth the cost (but that’s probably the crazy spender in me talking). And yea, I hope you’re right about the shipping; would be nice to save on it for once!

Zeroblade, true but I do what I gotta do. And s’okay about not having a HLJ list. Let me tell you this hobby is dangerous, very dangerous… you’ll see your money disappear before you know it!

R8, I’m just buying cause it looks cool. I know nothing of the game and I don’t mind the loliness… much ^^;;

houkoholic, right. I was following yours and others’ comments on the AS forum and after thinking about it for awhile, realized ya all had valid points. The haruhi fanatic in me got the better of me before I could really come to a good conclusion about the DVD/concert initially. On Kuwantani Natsuko, yea I remember reading that somewhere. I wonder where in management THAT got messed up! She’s definitely a trooper for basically memorizing two songs at the last second!

Draneor, same. I cry every time I look at my buy list for the rest of the year ;_; And yes, Cospa’s Kotori I’ve already preordered as well. It doesn’t look *that* great but from the photos, should still be pretty decent (esp for Kotori fans like myself). I’ll have my usual crappy set of photos once she’s in my greedy hands!

ajt, yea I know. Thanks for the tip though. If I really wanted to save money, I would want for the US imports at places like TRSI or Kid Nemo. I’m just too impatient and can’t wait the extra months, thus I end up spending more to be satisfied sooner XD

Wow, you should really start going through a lot of online stores before purchasing. I’m getting Xecty from Hobby Search for only $40.98 US, S+H included. It’s only because they’re having a 20% off on most of the new figures being released.

September, October, and November will all be big months for me (makes up for August when I didn’t buy anything). And then Cospa had to announce a Kotori PVC for October…

The Gekisou DVD, as I’ve said on AS for that thread, is pretty poor value. If it wasn’t for the Hentai trios (lolz) and Minorin’s good performances, I would say it’s probably one of my worse DVD concert purchases after the I’ve Budoukan set (which was so poorly made that they had to re-issue remastered disk free of charge).

About Kuwantani Natsuko’s performance, she did pretty well considering she practiced for the wrong song and didn’t know until a few days before that she was suppose to sing Cool Edition.

went to see what the fuss is all about w/ that exelica fig since it cost 14000 yen. damn that’s crazy cool. too bad i’m not a fan of the game and it’s loliness ^^.

“Saw that you’ve pre-ordered the 1/8 Exelica figure. It’s an excellent figure, just bit more expensive when compared to toher 1/8 figure.”

You could get 3-4 figures with that kind of cash, I believe. It’s definitely worth it though.

And I wish I had to capability to even have a list on HLJ orz

Saw that you’ve pre-ordered the 1/8 Exelica figure. It’s an excellent figure, just bit more expensive when compared to toher 1/8 figure.

Let’s hope most of the figures would be released almost the same time, otherwise shipping will be a killing.

huh? kanon isn’t licensed yet, is it? either way, i somehow hope the release looks half as nice as the R2 ones.

also, i loved the gekisou concert. you’re a god for uploading it.
