Waah thanks so much for taking time to photograph the book and write this entry ^_^ Well... my first and main thought is "Good thing i cancelled it" XD Sorry!! ^_~ It's a pity it's paperback... but you can always try soaking it in shower to check if it's waterproof ;P
Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a waste of money as such and I won't be screaming at DEARS or selling it, but I am slightly disappointed. And that's a new feeling for me where GACKT is concerned XD
I do blame a lot of that on the Nemuri Kyoshiro photo book though which despite the abundant use of Photoshop was worth every single yen, is cheaper than this and far better. So is the RRII photo book and that was even cheaper!
Thanks a lot Kellie for that entry. If you are slightly disapointed, it means a lot for me. Doesn't say the photobook is crappy, but if you weren't amazed as I though at first, I guess I will have the same feeling as you.
And so, because of your description, and more also, the pictures of the photobook, I did canceled my order on CDjapan I just place that night, so thanks to have made that entry, it makes the things better for me since I was really short and can't allow myself to buy something that won't give me FULL satisfaction (like the Nemuri DVDs ! ^^)
You said something on twitter about other editions being sent later? I haven't gotten a shipping notice so I guess that might be true and the CDJapan website says it may not ship right away so I guess I have a bit to wait before I get my copy. Seeing the poster I guess I don't feel too disappointed that I couldn't get the Dears version but hearing your description of the book and how weak the pages are is disappointing. I was really expecting at least a hardcover, especially for that price I thought it must be beautiful. The Nemuri book was gorgeous and it sounds like this doesn't even come close :(
I'm sure your dvd will make up for the disappointment though ;)
The regular photo book should be the same day, it's Nemuri that's different. But, I know others who've ordered the regular version and theirs hasn't shipped yet either. I love that poster actually because another fault with the photo book is how difficult it is to see the double page spreads properly!
The Nemuri photo book was absolutely stunning. Both books. I was hoping for something more like that, but never mind.
As for the DVD, (if you haven't figured it out already!) just give the slip to the staff at the counter and they'll get it for you. Don't worry about the Loppi!
Oh, ok, well its not here but hopefully soon then. I'm patient, I can wait a little longer XD
I wasn't quite expecting Nemuri level but at least like the RR2 book which was also quite nice.
Ok, so it is like I originally thought. XD I'll go get it tomorrow I guess. I probably won't watch it soon, my tiny tiny dvd player screen won't do it justice, but it will be nice to have it at least. Enjoy yours!
As I've said it on my Twitter already, I really like the box in which everything came. Love how elegant and witty the typeface is that they chose for "GACKT". The "G" is my favorite.. :3
I think I'd still enjoy this photobook a lot, but the price is simply too much for me.. :/

It probably is waterproof. It probably handles water fine, it's just being held that makes it bend XD

I meant it as it seems quite fragile, if that's the right word, and then taking it to the bath... Consquences could be quite disastrous!xDD
