Ouendan Side-Effect

Finished Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! earlier this week (the game's already on loan to King Snort). Like I said before, it's a very fun game to play (not to mention addictive) so I highly recommend it.

Like DDR, Ouendan is a rhythm game, and is comprise of 15 music tracks. Among them a song called "Taisetsu na mono" from a JPop/JRock band "Road of Major" that stirred my interest. I did manage to find a couple songs by the same band off YouTube before what I guess is the Japan's equivalent of RIAA requested those vids to be taken down (stupid them - honestly they should thank YouTube for luring a potential customer...kakaka).

Now I am debating whether I should order it via YesAsia or not. I haven't been buying anything from YesAsia for a long long time. The last CD that I bought from them was, I believe, back in my sophomore year in college. Somehow, I always think that YesAsia tends to rip the customer off with a high mark-up. So when I check out the price, I was pretty amazed that it was around US$23. For a Japanese version CD, that's really cheap. The part that sucks is that it only $23, which means that I need to pay for shipping because it's $2 cheaper than the minimum for free shipping (and I don't think i can find any $2 product off YesAsia to buy). Side note: Am I complaining that it's too cheap??? Amazing~ So my other options is to wait until I get back to HK and hunt around the CD shops in person - which might not be such a bad idea. Tough call...
