Asking a friend to buy me stuff in Japan (Part 4)

This January 2018, my friend went to Japan for a few days vacation. Just before he left last week I asked him to buy me some game stuff during his stay. I gave him 10,000.00JPY or approximately 4600.00PHP.

loots!!
Earlier this afternoon, I went out to see my friend and get the loots. I got Video game soundtracks, game figures, and food stuff.

He bought me three video game soundtracks; a REFLEC BEAT collete ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK VOL.1, beatmaniaIIDX23 copula ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK, and Ryu☆'s fourth album, Sakura Luminance.

Suprisingly, I found out that the Sakura Luminance album has a card (signed by Ryu) and a smartphone keychain bundle while the REFLEC BEAT -colette- includes the bundled REFLEC BEAT limelight ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK EXTRA! A good buy indeed!

Next is the figures. The big one is the recently released beatmaniaIIDX figure last September 2017, Kanzaki Saya for only 1,980.00JPY. It is fourth part of the beatmaniaIIDX 1/8 scale manufactured by Eikoh. The two figures were sold as a bundle (Sakura and Erika) for only 1,500.00JPY.

I requested to get me a SUICA Card. I might use the credits to buy digital games in Nintendo's e-shop service.

My friend also bought me a New Nintendo 3DS desk charger. Unfortunately, he bought the non-LL. Although my budget depleted, he managed to buy some Pocky and KitKat goodies and some sweet crackers.

Other goodies!!!!
 Maybe on the fifth time I think I have to give him a bigger budget so that I won't have any money shortages and transferring money to abroad is quite expensive.

beatmaniaIIDX25 CANNON BALLERS

This Sunday morning, I got the chance to play the newest IIDX game in the arcades, the beatmaniaIIDX25 CANNON BALLERS in QPS Rockwell Powerplant Mall. The game was released in Japan last December 21, 2017 and made available in the Philippines last January 11, 2018.
The game is the 25th version since its first released in 1999.

The game has hardware changes. First is the audio hardware and the 2 camera peripherals installed in the upper-middle and 1 player side of the cabinet.



The per credit/ game costs 45.00Php, the same pricing as SINOBUZ.


During my gameplay, I would advise to setup all your preferred game settings as the it will be reset to default. Previous game scores will not carry over to the game. However, DJ POINTS remains.
