i've collected plenty of CDs and figs that caught my attention. i have all of camellia's vocaloid works which sparked the interest. you can buy used vocaloid CDs from amazon really cheap, but it's all normie vocaloid. you can find doujin vocaloid on suruga-ya. the majority of CDs i have are used but in perfect condition. supercell is mint, as well as shigo-nikki and pottsun's CD. i got it from his bandcamp. when it comes to physical music owning it it's simply for the passion for owning the object. by the time the CDs have made it to my door i've heard the album already, but i bought it because i loved it.

i've been trying to acquire glass cabinets so i can light them and display my figs but they've been unavailable for quite some time. the lower shelves contain things i've bought and haven't given much attention yet. some things are mint, such as the koe no katachi making of book & its blu-ray and several ikamusume CDs i recently acquired. i don't know if i'll ever open popuko or pipimi. they came with the amiami exclusive bat as well which is hidden in there somewhere. autumn miku is in its box because it broke and i don't buy taito figs anymore. the frame arms miku proved to be very difficult and stressful to assemble so it rests unfinished. i hope figure rise labo won't be so painful.

i think if you start collecting, start slow. it's a slippery slope. i freak out over rare music and miku figma with nice legs. i tend to not even open things i buy to preserve their value, but always thinking "but i'm not going to ever sell them? yet opening them feels like a waste.." back and forth which is a peculiar collectors' mindset. the rule of thumb is 'if you see it and you like it, buy it, you'll never get the chance to buy it again.' however this way of thinking can get expensive, so secure your expenses first. i feel like it's worth it. every time i see my precious items and miku's visage i feel joy.

shigo-nikki miku is very creepy tbqh tho
