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

BTW if you’re a merchandise fan, we’re still looking for an editor for our merchandise section 🙂 Leave a comment here or send an e-mail to one of our staff.
