Finally, I have came back now. Sitting in front of my computer, typing the keyboard, writing this blog. I really missed it. But, because in the past three weeks I was so busy in campus, there were Mid Term Exams and my Final Project presentation, I didn’t have any time and idea to write down in my blog. I must apologize to all of my fans for waiting so long.

Anyway, I finally bought my first audio CD! In the middle of exams, I bought L’Arc~en~Ciel’s album “The Best of L’Arc~en~Ciel 1994-1998″ with IDR 80000. And on the next day, I bought another CD again. Yup! I bought the latest L’Arc~en~Ciel’s album “KISS” with special price IDR 55000.

At first, I didn’t know exactly why I bought those CDs. I mean, I really want to collect all L’Arc~en~Ciel’s albums, but I already have those (illegal) albums in my computer. I don’t think that I would buy those CDs suddenly, just in two days! Maybe Sangprabo, known as The Ambassador of Anti-Piracy, have spelled or hipnotized me to buy original CD? Geez…

The reason why I bought those CDs is just because I’m a big fan of L’Arc~en~Ciel. They are my favourite band from Japan. They have inspired some Indonesian musician, especially J-Rocks, a Japanese-style band. As a fan, I surely want to collect all the L’Arc~en~Ciel’s albums. You know, I already have all L’Arc~en~Ciel’s albums in my computer. But, those don’t make me satisfy as a fan because there are not some kind of collectible items about L’Arc~en~Ciel. There are just MP3 files in my hardisk. So, I bought those CDs because I want to collect them as collectable items.

Absolutely, it is true that to buy an original CD is much more expensive than if you rent an MP3 CD from CD Rental, like Wahana or Studio One. But, I don’t regret it because it is worthed to buy. In fact, I have made a list of must-have CDs. And someday, I will collect them all.

I won’t say, “Stop piracy!” or something, because I ripped those albums into MP3 files and transfered them so I can listen those tracks in my handset. I’m just a fan that really want to collect the albums of my favourite artists and appreciate their works for creating awesome tracks.
