Why not? Quite cool what. Some of them very nice. The feel is different. English and Japanese songs cant attain one.

actually, i think it's because i'm a practical person. i listen to english and collect english music CDs, and i do so as english music CDs usually have a higher value in the future compared to chinese music CDs.
for e.g. i read about this guy who bought an old & rare metal CD from another guy, and he willingly paid around US$100 for it (which, i can bet to you, only costed around $20 during the year it was produced)
surprisingly, i've never heard of a case where anyone has paid a high price for an old chinese album yet, and i am willing to bet that 10 years down the road, u can ask an average adolescent if he/she knew who Bon Jovi was, and they would reply yes. whereas if u asked them if they knew who Fahrenhait was, they would probably say something like:" Isn't that a unit for heat measurement?"

I did bought fahrenheit's album,actually I would term it under good attempt,not poor,because afterall they are still new,and they still need some experience.

ok... anyway what i was trying to imply is that these kind of visual kei boybands are usually just a temporary fad and will fade from the annals of history many years down the road and be forgotten. i just dun know why but somehow english bands seem to be more lasting, probably because they dun always put a band photo as their album cover showing them in stupid poses and having albums that are almost as big as a magazine.
anyway, dun mind me, its just some ranting by a kid who doesn't support chinese music.

I bought quite abit,even my Fahrenheit CD was bought from there.I like original because there's poster and those nice things that comes together.But one main thing is that i am assured that my money goes into the pocket of the artiste,that's what prirates can't promise you i guess.
