It’s always so exciting when CDJ stocks leftover concert merchandise that we can’t get anywhere else! This time they did it a lot faster than previous sets – April’s Yuki Kajiura LIVE Vol #8. There appear to be only 5 or 6 of most items in stock and as usual with concert merch, they will not be restocking once they’re sold out.
