Arashi in Taiwan 08 Limited DVD?

[hontowa.livejournal.com]

Has anyone seen the limited DVD from this year's Taiwan con floating around on clubbox or anywhere else? Or happen to own it and be willing to share? I didn't even know it existed until I stumbled across it on yahoo! auctions while looking at a different item. It's this one for reference. I'd just buy it, but uh....30,000yen is pretty rediculous, especially for some member greetings and a photo slideshow XD

edit: Since the title of my post is a little misleading - this does NOT say it's a tour DVD - it's just supposed to contain videos of greetings to the fans from the members and a slideshow of backstage photos from rehearsals and such. Supposedly only 1000 copies were available. I have no idea if it's legit or not, so in addition to requesting a DVD rip if one exists, I'm curious if anyone who went to the Taiwan concert knows anything about it :)The only other thing I've been able to find through google searching is a blog of a Japanese fan saying she received her "Official 2008 Taiwan Tour Participant Limited Memorial DVD" and she's dissapointed that it's only 3 minutes and 24 seconds long XD

It's not supposed to be a concert recording - just greetings from the members and a slideshow of backstage pics during rehearsals. I'm actually not sure if it's real or not (part of my reason for posting is to find out XD), but it looks fairly legit and there a few sellers that have it up.

Taipei fancams? Can I ask where you saw them? I've only seen a couple solos available on streaming, so the cams must be out there somewhere...

Maybe I should reword the title...it's not supposed to be a concert DVD, as in a DVD of the concert itself - it says it's a DVD that was given out AT the concert, with greetings from the members and a slideshow of rehearsal photos and such. So it may very well not be legit, but even if it was it wouldn't be up on any retailer's site.

Oh I definately wouldn't be buying it at that kind of price, especially not after reading it's supposedly only 3 minutes long XD Thanks for the info about the con reports though, I haven't seen any yet myself.

The only other thing I can think of from the few blog entries I found is that it was a limited item for Japanese fans, perhaps through Jweb or something since there's plenty of Jweb-only goods that we never hear about. If it really was some ~*Super Limited*~ item, you'd think someone would be trying to sell it to overseas fans at exorbatant prices like usual though.

From what I gather, it was given to the Japanese fans who were part of the tour package?

Oh, I see from reading further down that you have already found this out.

[hontowa.livejournal.com]

Thanks though! :)

Probably a fanclub item if it's official? I haven't heard of it either.

[hontowa.livejournal.com]

I'm in the fanclub and haven't heard anything, but that could just mean my contact is slow XD

I do think it's real cos funkadelicsinc posted something about it,which you can find out about here (http://funkadelicsinc.livejournal.com/128744.html)

Her picture are the ones from the auction link I post, so she probably just found the same auction - she does mention a Johnny's Tour though, so if it is real that would explain why non-Japanese fans who went to the concert didn't mention it.

It is the cd memorabilia that is given to those Japanese fans who signed up for the Taiwan tour - the 1000 fans they bring over. So I guess that would mean there will be another 1000 for those who went to Seoul and another 1000 for those who went to Shanghai.

Thanks for clearing things up!

Sorry I can't help, but it looks like the starting price was 1,000yen and it made it up to 30,000yen..? Am I reading that correctly? O___O

[hontowa.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're reading it right. If you look at the bid history, the first person to bid put up a max bid of 3,000yen, then some other people came in and raised it by a couple thousand yet, but suddenly someone came in with a max bid of 15,000 and from there the next two bids went up even more rediculously.

this might not be correct but from what i heard it was handed out to the fans in the fanclub that went to the taiwan concert.
maybe to those that took that special package with airplane or whatever it was (?)

[epunx99.livejournal.com]

ah yah i guess it was the merch that was handed to the participating fanclub members who attended the show in Taipei. i personally saw these fan club members on the concert itself... thay had these AAA ids that were hanging on their necks and there was a tour guide with a yellow flag waving at the people after the concert ended... so these are give-aways?

i shud have taken a picture but i was ARASHI-high at that tym so it didnt register...
