So... I just bought the last of her album (type A) still on sale (new) on
amazon.jp.
After the official shop went out of them both on monday, I had to look elsewhere ; and it's in fact much cheaper. There's still the type B available if you want one.
Took all three of 'em, plus okayu's and friend's, and sent them to a forwarder from Japan. About +25% price, not as bad as it could have been. By comparison, other albums are pretty cheap because of the yen being weak. It's just Taso and her remarkable self-destructing ability that inflates prices.
For example :
Watame's album price in the (((official shop))) shopify : 3300 円.
Watame's album price in the (((official shop))) shopify after I tell them I'm euro : 25€.
Current yen conversion : 0.0055€
Converted value of Watame's album at current date : 18.15€ (((official shop)))
Watame's album release date : 2023/12/05.
Yen conversion at said date : 0.0064€
Value of Watame's album at release date : 21.12€ (((official shop)))
Watame's album current price on
amazon.co.jp (base): 18.61€
Watame's album current price on
amazon.co.jp with a current 15% decrease: 15.82€
I hecking love capitalism and Jeff Bezos. So that's what they call a devalued product...
If you wonder "Why only now ?", that's because I was always a lurker, never paid for any free content online : streaming = free entertainment mindset ; ever since 10 years ago. Up to her sololive. And to this month. Wish I had her anniversary merch now... The 2022-2023 were goated. Taso...
