Neotokyo launched separate shop with DIR EN GREY merchandise:
direngreymerchandise.com For now available product includes tshirts, hoodies, accessories, books and posters.
I couldn't help but be surprised that they also offer many goods from Japanese tours and some fanclub items, like Haiiro no Ginka or some DVDs.
Payment is by card or transfer.
Shipping in Germany 3,50€ (free for orders over 95€), 9€ for rest of European Union (flat rate).
And not trying to start any drama, just wondering, neotokyo was selling all that stuff before over their website, now got a deal to sell diru stuff at the separate website.
I felt very strange when reading
this interview when band quite plainly said business is not going well:
Demotape / AnN: What has changed for you over the years in music business? (your motivation for example...)
DG: Not speaking on a personal level, but I think overall in the music business, we have come to a point where CDs just don’t sell anymore and that is a shame.
I was reading recently that cd sales in Japan are higher than in US etc, so is it really that bad? And has it anything to do with opening of quite official European shop?
On the other side, good for some fans who will have more opportunities buying some goods from previous tours etc ;)
