A quick reminder for those who plan on ordering the new Kalafina DVD from CDJapan, it’s a good idea to do it before January 31, 2012! They are currently having a promotion for 10% bonus points on all SONY CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Rays. It’s not a huge bonus but if you were planning to do it anyway, now’s the time :3 If you ordered it already, don’t worry! The promotion started December 1 so you probably already got your points.

I don’t normally make posts like this but I know a lot of people were hesitant on buying Kalafina Record LE due to the ridiculously high prices on CDJ so I thought I’d inform you guys of the sale. The limited edition with large shirt is now 20% off, and the LE with small shirt is 30% off.

LE with large shirt – 6000 JPY
LE with small shirt – 5250 JPY
