Thought I'd share brief impressions of the LIN (凛 -THE END OF CORRUPTION WORLD-) web shop last lucky bags, based on my purchases and others I've seen online:
It seems that each KISAKI lucky bag contains:
- book
- shirt
- 7~8 random releases
- stickers
- signed photo
- Kisaki & Nara Kizoku bootleg2016-07-16KISAKI & Kansai Kizoku妃&関西貴族Kisaki & Nara Kizoku Fukubukuro Gentei BOOTLEG LIVE DVD 2009.8.31 OSAKA MUSE妃&奈良貴族 福袋限定BOOTLEG LIVE DVD 2009.8.31 OSAKA MUSE

- (MC)
- NEO ARK (Phantasmagoria cover) (NEO ARK (Phantasmagoriaカバー))
- Dai SESSION: Kamiuta (Phantasmagoria cover) (大セッション: 神 歌 (Phantasmagoriaカバー))
The bootleg live DVD must be the “α” (bonus content) that the description mentioned. Overall, not a bad bag―I only wish that maybe some random bootlegs of his older bands had been included.
And here's the upgraded LIN (凛 -THE END OF CORRUPTION WORLD-) lucky bag. (I didn't see any before the upgrade... anyone have any info?)
- book
- 2~3 shirts
- ~10 random releases
- stickers
- 2014-06-01 bootleg
These ones seem to be a really good value! The only downside is the 2014-06-01 bootleg was previously released, but over several volumes. If you already owned the complete set of those, it's not a very cool bonus...
Finally, the UNDER CODE PRODUCTION distributed/bootleg lucky bag. This one was said to contain 4~5 distributed DVDs or bootleg DVDs of UCP bands from 2010~2013.
Right away, lemme say that 90% of the bags contain only 4 DVDs―and any oneman split over two discs is considered 2 separate DVDs. That's just cruel!
Here's my first order of 2 bags for myself and 2 for others. (Btw, the shop didn't package them separately as requested, and included the wrong privilege 😡)
- Zaidan Houjin Kurojuuji 2009 - 2009.09.22 bootleg
- Zaidan Houjin Kurojuuji 2010 - 2010.01.08 bootleg
- Megaromania - Wail of Crest Vol.2 dist DVD
- Megaromania - Wail of Crest Vol.3 dist DVD
- LIN - As If Forever Exists. making DVD
- LIN - 2010.9.13 bootleg
- LIN - 2010.10.02 bootleg
- LIN - 2010.10.08 bootleg
- LIN - 2010.8.09 bootleg
- Dali - 2012.11.25 bootleg (disc 1 only, wtfff)
- HEISEI ISHIN - 2010.8.24 bootleg
- HEISEI ISHIN - 2009.4.17 dist DVD
- REALies - 2013.2.2 bootleg
- FUTURISM・BOYZ - 2011.12.31 bootleg
- Arc/ClearVeil/SIVA - Nihon Seiatsu 2009 dist DVD
- NEGA - Depart[ure] privilege DVD
- CindyKate - 2011.8.31 bootleg
Most of those are items that a long-time fan might have―and in fact, I already own 9 or 10 of them 😑 Luckily, the awesome people I ordered with just happened to want a bunch of the duplicates... But out of 17 DVDs, I only thought 3 were really cool, so it's a bit disappointing. (Maybe I'd be happier if I didn't own hundreds of LIN bootlegs??)
Imo, it seems that smaller orders had better contents, for some reason. For example, Lestat placed two orders and got all nice, new bootleg DVDs (tho they still shorted her with two-disc sets). I received one more set today, and it's also all new bootlegs, afaik:
- Pashya - 2007.10.21 bootleg
- NEGA - 2010.7.31 bootleg
- Ganmen Hensachi TOP6 - 2012.5.05 bootleg
- Cu[be] - 2010.12.28 bootleg
So, idk... For me, the contents of that 1 lucky bag trump the contents of the 4 lucky bag set. I guess the best thing would have been to place 5 different orders with 5 different shopping services 😒
I'm still waiting on another order, but I thought I'd go ahead and give a little review.
Does anyone else have anything to add? Or is Lestat the only other foreign person to have gotten their orders yet?
Also, would anyone be willing to trade their LIN demo CD for my LIN last live DVD?? I literally have 3 copies of the last live DVD, because the shop kept fucking up my request for the second demo CD... It has another unreleased LIN song on it, and I fear I'll never hear it now 😭😭
LIN/KISAKI/UCP lucky bags mini-review
I'll probably start with my entries tomorrow. You'll have to do the tracklisting for two of them, though. I don't know much about Dali, lol.
