allegedly pirated

the cover

I'm a big fan of L'Arc~en~Ciel and still in euphoria after watching their concert live this year.. so when I heard that the LIVE TWENITY DVD will be released officially in Indonesia, I wanted to buy it.. for everyone who doesn't know what's the DVD is, it contains combination of some clips from their live from 1997-2011..

Today I went to Senayan City and when I saw this music store, I went in and ask about the dvd.. the shopkeeper showed me the dvd and said that it's licensed from China.. then I had doubts about it since I never heard that Laruku's cd licensing from China.. I only heard the license from Japan, HK, and Taiwan.. but then I thought I was just gonna buy it since it's only IDR 125k..

inside the box

My friend asked me whether it's original or not, then I searched in Cielers Indonesia group.. then one post appeared and it said that he heard many pirated CDs sold in stores inside malls in JKT.. I felt shocked but try to calm down..then I opened the DVD and found out that there's no booklet or pictures inside the box.. as long as I know Laruku's DVDs have pictures inside of it, not only on the cover.. but when I played it, the DVD worked well..

said "made in japan"

as my curiosity appears, I called 108 to ask the store's number (because there's no phone number printed on the bill).. the operator gave me the Kelapa Gading store's number since the store only listed one number.. then I asked the one who answered my phone about its originality.. she insisted that the store only sells original ones and for Laruku's cd&dvd, they only bought the china license ones.. then I told her to tell her manager about my suspicion and she only answered that they never opened the seal but they only sell the original ones..

I'm not 100% sure it's pirated but I really have huge doubt about its originality.. I'll take this as a lesson for the future.. better wait for Sony Indonesia's edition next time.. *deepest sigh*
