Too Much !
- HRC Japan announced that they would release Facade guitar & Holiday Ornament pins in Dec.1st.
You have already known Facade guitar, right. I really think Facade guitar series are good idea even though some of them are not really good design. I planed that I wanted to collect Facade from all HRC where I have ever visited, but now I recognized it was not good idea, because I have visited
68 HRC. TOO MUCH !, and some of them would not release Facade series pins like Bangkok, so I decided not to do it.

-About Holiday Ornament pins, some of them actually look cute like one from Yokohama & Universal Osaka. Both pins look good, and many collectors would like to collect those.

-In addition, HRC Universal Osaka will release Geisha pin as their countdown 2005 pin.

- Like everyone knows, HRC never forget the business. Many collectors come, and HRC sell many items. That is the way they always do.
- The event was actually great. They had great charity auction including some of rare items, and we could have enough time to trade as well as to talk. I hope HRC Japan continue the official event every year.
