Amazon pre-order up! + Project

[gokumew2.livejournal.com]

It's up, it's up! Finally~ On Amazon USA that is. It seems it was up on the Canadian site first, anyway~~ Cheaper than RightStuf! (Free shipping!)

Volume 1 ($16.99)
Volume 2 ($16.99)
Part 1 ($27.99)
Part 1 LE ($51.99)


Okay, so I have a project.... to send Code Geass Part 1 to Fukuyama Jun (voice of Lelouch). I do this once in a while, sending R1 DVDs (with region-free copies) to seiyuu so they can hear their roles in English. (Yeah, most dubs are meh but I think someone in the business has a different way of appreciating voice work.)

Anyway, basically, help pitch in to pay for the DVDs and shipping, and send along any letters people may have for Fukuyama. You can either help pay, only send a letter, or do both!

Cost for the DVD + Priority Mail shipping to Japan will be about $55. Any amounts are welcome! I can accept pretty much any form of payment... PayPal, Google Checkout, money orders, cash, whatever. (There are fees for credit/debit contributions, however.) As for letters, you would send them to me and I'll stick it in with the DVD. It can be written in English or Japanese, or any other language for that matter. It's the thought that counts and I'm sure he'll appreciate knowing that he hands fans all over the world. Um, hand-written letters (they're more personal than typed ones), please, and that's pretty much it. =.3 Oh, and I won't read your letter btw. I'll only open if it I need to, like if you have it in a separate envelope, otherwise I'll just stick it in the package directly.

I've done this before with Hatano Wataru (sent him Yumeria, which was his first main role) and he actually wrote about the present on his blog. Maybe if we're lucky we can get a little blurb on the Baobab blog? X.D

Anyone who's interested, please contact me either via LJ PM or email. Thanks!


PS Letters for Sugiyama Noriaki (Rivalz) may be accepted too since he also works for Baobab.

[ EDIT: Forgot that Koshimizu Ami (Kallen) and Mizushima Takahiro (Rollo) work for Baobab as well so I'll take letters for them as well! ]

amazon has it cheaper than rightstuf UGGGGGG I just ordered from rightstuf kfgjfdg. >__________> *headxdesk*

[gokumew2.livejournal.com]

You could always cancel with RightStuf.

[fujiappletan.livejournal.com]

Eh really? This was my first time ordering from them and I sent a money order. What really bothered me was that they didn't give any confirmation unless I ask for it and just kfgjfg, could I really cancel or since I used mail that would be too icky, ah well.

[gokumew2.livejournal.com]

Oh, if you paid by MO then I don't know. But you can give them a call and ask. Their customer service is really good.

[fujiappletan.livejournal.com]

Mmm okay maybe. I don't mind that it was a few dollars more but the lack of confirmation really makes me nervous. Though people say they're very good to buy from? And your reaction seem kinda :D. idk. thank you for the help.

[gokumew2.livejournal.com]

Yeah, RightStuf is really good.
No problem! .^^

[kankiin.livejournal.com]

That...sounds like a really cool idea, actually. I wouldn't mind pitching in if it means sending a letter to FukuJun and Sugiyama >3 -will stuff it with lots of art goodies for the two, yes!-

[gokumew2.livejournal.com]

Awesome! =.D Just tell me know when you're ready~ .^^
Though..... Since I won't be able to send this til August, it might be odd for them to receive letters dated in June or July. .^^;;;;;;; That's my only lil concern, LoL.

[kankiin.livejournal.com]

I'll be Japan till early/mid-August, so I'll probably have to send you a copy before I leave or right when I come back xD Or I can leave the date blank and you can do it for me~

Do you want a hardcopy letter or can I send it via email?

[gokumew2.livejournal.com]

Ahh. Or you can just leave it undated. .^^;
Hardcopy please~! Hand-written is best, of course.

[kankiin.livejournal.com]

Alright! Heh, this'll be a chance for me to write another letter in Japanese...>___> Hope I don't fail miserably. My brain doesn't like to think during the summer. Or, perhaps, will they accept English?

[gokumew2.livejournal.com]

Haha, I always have trouble *writing* letters in Japanese too. I'm fine if I just need to type it like if I send hem comments via email, but actually having to write it out is much harder and I always draw a blank. .^^; Not to mention kanji sucks.

English will be fine. Anything is fine! .^^

[kankiin.livejournal.com]

Ugh, kanji ;A; Mine always look terrible. Actually, my handwriting in general is terrible. I always have to type it out letters first, then transfer them over to paper so I don't mess up. Perhaps I'll just stick with English, since I'm not confident enough with my own Japanese skills. Perhaps I'll try if I can send the letter after I return from my homestay.

M'kay! Consider one person interested!

[gokumew2.livejournal.com]

Haha, yeah, I usually type out what I want to say first and then write it out.
Or you could do both~ X.D But ya, whatever's most comfortable for you.

I'll probably be sending this mid-August.

YAY! Thanks! .^^
Um, were you considering pitching in or just writing letters? (Either's fine, I just need to know...)

[kankiin.livejournal.com]

My parents are a little iffy with me sending money anywhere, but I'll try see what I can do. I'm definitely gonna make an effort to get a letter in, however!

[gokumew2.livejournal.com]

Okay, great! Just let me know. .^^

[silvatine.livejournal.com]

Sweet idea! I, unfortunately, am a very shy person, so I won't be writing a letter. But best of luck! =D

[cardslash02.livejournal.com]

Sweet! I would love to write a letter - do you know if this stuff really gets to him? Has he ever sent a reply back? Do you think he would respond to American fanmail? (I guess hoping for a personal response is a bit much, huh)

[gokumew2.livejournal.com]

Yes, it gets to him, but I highly doubt he replies. Most seiyuu don't reply to fanmail, but like I said, we could get lucky and there'll be a blurb in the Baobab blog or something.

[koyuki-azumaya.livejournal.com]

I might be interested in sending some letters :3

[gokumew2.livejournal.com]

Yay! .^^

Now if I can get some people who are interested in helping out financially. =.(

[koyuki-azumaya.livejournal.com]

If I could, I would ;o; But I'm only 15 and don't have any money ;; Sorry ;;

[gokumew2.livejournal.com]

It's no problem. I understand. .^^

[koyuki-azumaya.livejournal.com]

But yeah, I'll try and remember to write the letters :3 If I do, how would you like me to contact you?

[gokumew2.livejournal.com]

LJ PM, email, whatever. All my contact info is in my profile. .^^

[koyuki-azumaya.livejournal.com]

Hm.... I'll add you on both AIM and MSN if that's ok :3

[gokumew2.livejournal.com]

Sure! I often set my AIM to only allow IMs from people on my buddy list because I sometimes get spam IMs though so don't worry if it seems like I'm not online. I'll show up on MSN though. .^^

[koyuki-azumaya.livejournal.com]

k, I'm Clause Chan on AIM and my MSN is mew_mew_lettuce@hotmail.com

[gokumew2.livejournal.com]

Whenever you're ready, just tell me and I'll give you my address.
And yes, I will. .^^

[gokumew2.livejournal.com]

LoL, wow, fast. X.D I'll PM it to you.

[saverellawish.livejournal.com]

So what exactly is the difference between vol 1 and part 1? Part 1 would be the first half of Season 1 right? Hmmm... I can't decide if I just want to get the DVDs separately or splurge on the Limited Edition for all the goodies.

I would love to send a letter to Fukuyama Jun!! I can also probably spare $2 or $3 dollars if that would help any.

[gokumew2.livejournal.com]

Part 1 includes vol 1 and 2, and would be cheaper than buying the volumes individually.

Yes, that would be great! =.D

[tenshi789.livejournal.com]

I think Koshimizi Ami works for Baobab too. )So does Rolo's VA Takahiro Mizushima it's S1 so meh O_<)

I'm definitely interested in lettering and pitching too if I find a way I can send money over =P

[gokumew2.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was thinking about it was like, "Wait, a lot of Geass seiyuu work for Baobab..." X.DDD So yes, I will accept letters for them as well! =.D

Oh, that would be most helpful! I can pretty much take money in any form (as long as it's in USD) so ya. =.3 Thank you~!
