Sorry, AGAIN, for the delay in updating. I have been really sick. I updated the number of wishes and have important announcements:
-WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING DONATIONS FOR THE COST OF MATERIALS/SHIPPING.
* If you want to donate using paypal, the address you need to send it to is [email protected]. That is the PREFERRED method. However, if you wish to send checks, WELL CONCEALED cash, or money orders, please email me at either the aforementioned e-mail address or [email protected].
-If you want something sent along with the cranes (i.e. fan art [NOTHING depicting hints of boyxboy, no nudity, no suggestive scenes, nothing you wouldn't want your mother seeing], a small gift, fan letters, etc.) please e-mail me at one of the aforementioned e-mail addresses and let me know.

Updated the wishes! We're so close to 800! After that we only need 200 more. Please, please, PLEASE do what you can to help us get all these wishes! Get your friends and family members (if you're lucky, unlike me) who love Diru to send in a wish. Get a list if you must, ne? :P Spread the word. We're so close to reaching our goal. <333 Thank you so much for your continued support.

GOOD NEWS! I managed to find my backed-up wishes and saw that I backed up more than I thought I did. ALL the wishes have been accounted for and we are now BACK ON TRACK! I have, thus, updated the number of wishes.
And those fans who wished Dir en grey would peform in Germany got what you want! I am jealous and happy for you at the same time. :P

MAJOR UPDATE. A few days ago my computer ran in to a few problems and I wound up having to peform System Recovery. I could not do anything on my computer -- I could not access files, get online, or even get the taskbar to work properly. That's how screwed up it was (thanks to a re-direct on the Tattered Cloth website). The past two times I had done SR I didn't lose anything, but I lost EVERYTHING this time, including all 747 wishes. I can get about 400 back, 500 if I'm EXTREMELY lucky, but that still meants there are 200-300 wishes COMPLETELY gone.
I had the file backed up on a disk but it has wandered off to the far reaches of the earth. Meaning I have searched everywhere and can not find it.
If you sent me a wish via E-MAIL at any point from December until last week then please re-send it (and let me know you're re-sending it)!
Regardless of this loss, the wishes that I do NOT get back will be accounted for in some way. I promise. ._.; Please don't hate me, this is not my fault. Trust me when I say I'm extremely upset about this. I put so much work in to this project and I was hoping to have it finished soon...
Update: March 20, 2005:
