My new scanner is hard to use ne. It seemed to auto-adjust the colors or something. Or maybe it’s the “attack of the furry paper” thing again. The 2nd scan is the poster pin-up, which was folded into 3, and I’ve tried my best to join them together. Sorry, the scans look weird, but I can’t bear to re-scan lest it hurts the magazine…
Have I mentioned already, that the price of this mag has increased? Kino is selling it for $25.70. But it’s Tono on the cover, and there’s a pin-up, so it’s OK! LOL
[Scans] Best Stage 12/2009
Kino is committing highway robbery. This mag costs less than $10 in Japan! I understand their charging for shipping costs, but I doubt very much it comes to more than a fraction of this!
On your scans: I think they look very good. All but one are quite clear. Maybe you can disable the “auto-adjust”?
I have ordered a new scanner myself, and was going to scan these, you saved me the work! LOL
simone~ hopefully i can find that setting and have it turned off… ah, the mag itself increased by about 300yen in japan. takki’s on the cover, and there are so many pages so this issue is definitely worth it. but for future issues where say he’s only appearing in 1-2 pages (stage reports for eg.), i don’t know what i’m gonna do… if only i live in japan…
Thanks for sharing.
I’m going to practice my reading skills :)
Costs less than $10 in Japan?…I bought it at a very high price actually… T.T
Your scanner is better than mine, Michelle… Mine also adjust the colour by itself… All the colours become lighter, black somehow becomes gray-black =.= …But yours is still very good… I mean the pictures…
suki~ hehe, me too! :)
chanmonkey~ i think it’s 980yen in japan, which is about US$10. that converts to about S$15… sigh… it’s so hard to control. like today, i just bought myojo and popolo lol…
Hello mich I’m back from Japan! I bought Best Stage while I was there for 919 yen (which works out to be about $14.15 at exchange rate I used) … but the poster is really nice!
Anyways I have a couple of surprises for you haha… will pass to you when we next meet up. (Hope you don’t already have ’em though!) =)
veee~ okaeri!! ^^
hope u had a fun time there!
tell me about it! haa~
Thanks so much 4 scanning in this mag, Mich! Wow, you’re new scanner is really nice! Comes out really sharp & clear. XDD
Maybe I’ll search around if someone else too scanned in this mag or poster in as well.
Gee wow…this mag here on my end has gone up too and it’s from $12 to $14 or $15.00. *dies*
Thankx 4 sharing!
