Holidays in the Sun

Miss me? I don't think so...

2011-12-12T21:50:00.000+08:00

It was ages ago since I last blogged, thank you working life, you're making me lazier than I already am （＞Д＜） Last year I made a resolution to blog more but it never happened, should I make it as next year's resolution, but what if I'm getting lazier? I better not say anything （；￣∀￣）ノ

Anyways, I got these months ago but never posted them (´□｀｡)

AKB48 Kaze wa Fuiteru Type A+B Reg Edt

Did I mentioned how excited I am about Yukirin as the center of Type B? I think I did Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ

HMV is awesome because Mayuyu is featured in their store exclusive photo

As usual I am never lucky when it comes to random member photos included in the single (￣､￣A)

Sae and Yui

And these arrived this morning, HMV is being slow lately (｀□´)

French Kiss Saisho no Mail Type A+B+C

w/ HMV exclusive photos

I absolutely love the DVD content of Type C, it was about their 24hours trip to Korea, they should do more things like this, honestly I prefer this kind of feature rather than an original drama （´∀｀）

Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 Kibou Sanmyaku Reg Edt

w/ HMV exclusive photo

Guess why I choose this version over the rest? Mayuyu solo （●´3｀）~♪ Mayuyu always have this old school Jpop kind of songs, I like them (´･ω･`)

AKB48 Ue Kara Mariko Type B

w/ HMV exclusive photo

Guess why I pick this version? lol Because there is a new Team B song in it called Yobisute Fantasy (#^.^#) Team B always have the happy and cute songs (#^.^#)

Each of the CDs above have a random content included inside the them

I grouped them together because it's errr convenient...~~yeah I'm lazy~~...so here they are:

-Saisho no Mail Type A and Type C: Mocchi cards

-Saisho no Mail Type B: group card, supposedly if you have this card you are considered lucky because you can go a special event but unfortunately I'm not in Japan (*￣m￣)

-Kibou Sanmyaku Reg Edt: group card, nothing special (Ｔ▽Ｔ)

-Ue Kara Mariko Type B: Umeda photo, no luck in getting any of my oshi...again (ーー;)

French Kiss 4th Single

2011-10-23T20:37:00.002+08:00

So I finally got the time to revamp my blog, I'm so sorry, I have been occupied with work and stuff, it's not like I'm busy or anything, it's just that there are lots of things to think about (ーー;) let's put the negativity aside （￣ー￣）

So it has been about 5 months since French Kiss last single released and I have been wondering when a new one will release, it took them long enough to come out with a new one （￣□￣；）

So finally, the details about their new single has officially announced few days ago （・∀・） The title is called Saisho no Mail and it will be released on 22nd November 2011, there is still about a month until the single release ヾ(　＾ω＾)ノ

I love the covers, they are very French Kiss-ish lol Out of the 4 covers, I like Type A the most, it's cute (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡

It seems like they are trying something new, a duo/duet song (=^･^=) Candle no Shin with Yukirin and Mocchi will have a PV, I wish Last Train with Yukirin and Akicha got a PV too (TωT)

Yukirin have another solo song ヾ(　＾ω＾)ノ But it will be included in the Theater Edt (TωT) Now I have to get ready for eBay bidding war (TωT)

2011 Janken Senbatsu members...

2011-09-21T09:54:00.003+08:00

and the center is...

Mariko-sama

This is the list of senbatsu members for the Janken Tournament (not in particular order)

Team A (4) - Kojima Haruna, Maeda Ami, Oya Shizuka, Shinoda Mariko

Team K (4) - Akimoto Sayaka, Fujie Reina, Minegishi Minami, Umeda Ayaka

Team B (3) - Kasai Tomomi, Kitahara Rie, Sato Sumire

Team 4 (1) - Yamauchi Suzuran

Team KKS (1) - Kobayashi Marina

Team S (1) - Kuwabara Mizuki

Team N (1) - Yamaguchi Yuuki

Team NMB 1st Gen (KKS) (1) - Hikawa Ayame

Members with their name underlined are the regular senbatsu members (i.e. members that has been frequent senbatsu from the previous singles)

Despite being one of the popular members among AKB, Mariko-sama has never been a center for any AKB singles so even though this is by luck, I think she really deserved it (#^.^#)

I really like Janken Tournament, the result is always so random (´･ω･`)

Another member I would like to mention here...

Haruna

Nyan (ToT) I'm so happy she made it into senbatsu, she is currently the only AKB member that has been a senbatsu for ALL AKB singles, when I say ALL, I mean ALL including AKB indies singles...Congratulations (*^▽^*)

My 2 oshi, Yukirin and Mayuyu didn't make it unfortunately (Ｔ▽Ｔ) But somehow I knew Yukirin wouldn't make it, she said it herself that her luck is terrible (´･ω･`)

Anyway I'm sorry I didn't revamp my blog yet (´･ω･`) you know me, I'm lazy (´･ω･`) so please bare with this picture-less blog for a moment lol (´･ω･`)

All the pictures are gone & I'm stupid lol

2011-09-08T11:02:00.000+08:00

The pictures in all of my blog posts are gone, I've deleted the pictures from my phone which I thought it will only be deleting the pictures in my phone but it also deleted the pictures that I have uploaded on the web...

...I feel so stupid now, my blog is dull with no pictures at all (ーー;)

Lesson learned (ーー;)

m(_ _)m

2011-08-26T10:02:00.000+08:00

Yeap, I am bowing to each and everyone of you who came to this blog and find no update at all (Ｔ▽Ｔ)

Well I usually write anything about CDs and stuff but recently I didn't buy anything except AKB CDs and some of their subunits releases, I'm trying to cut my budget, life commitment is big （￣□￣；）study loan, insurance, transport expenses etc （￣□￣；）

I'm bowing to all of you sincerely m(_ _)m

If you have Twitter account you can follow me, @harisfaiz (>_<)

2011-08-11T13:18:00.001+08:00

It's been a while since I last updated this blog, sorry guys (´･ω･`) I've been occupied with a lot of things (´･ω･`)

Anyway, this CD arrive like two weeks ago and the reason I'm posting about it now is, well I just want the blog to be alive （￣□￣；）

Acchan's Flower Theater Edt

Back

I never have any intention buying the theater edt but the I really like the b-side featured for this edt, Brunch wa Blueberry, it's a mid-tempo cute song, I like it a lot (#^.^#)

So that's it for now (ーー;) now that I owned a smartphone maybe I'll try to update more, I've tried before but it was hard, especially putting the Kaomoji (ーー;)

p.s.: Yay 70K views (゜∀゜)

HMV (and this is me being lazy) lol

2011-07-19T17:07:00.001+08:00

Yeah, just like the title, I'm being lazy, actually these CDs arrived last Friday, I'm thinking about posting about it last Saturday but I was catching up with True Blood and got hooked (´･ω･`) just finished season 2, will continue with season 3 this weekend (≧∇≦) and no offense to Twilight fans but True Blood is a lot better ヽ（´ー｀）┌

Anyway, back on topic

Top: AKB48 album Koko ni Ita Koto

Bottom L to R: no3b single Kuchiniru Furezu Haruna Ltd Edt

Acchan single Flower Act 2

I forgot to mention, actually there was a problem with HMV authorizing my debit card and that's why I only got my package recently when it should've arrived weeks ago, I have re-authorized for like 2 or 3 times only to found out that there was actually not enough money in my debit card since the shipping amount increased, it's all thanks to AKB's gigantic and heavy album lol but it's worth it (＾▽＾)

no3b poster HMV exclusive

The poster differs depending on where you actually order/buy the single from （＾_＾）

Acchan's bonus photo HMV exclusive

Just like no3b's poster, Acchan's photo differ depending on where you order/buy the single from （＾_＾）

Tomochin 1st press photo

Tomochin's photo actually came with the album and not HMV exclusive lol I was hoping to get Yukirin but I'm not lucky （￣□￣；）

Sorry, I usually took more pictures but yeah I'm lazy (ーー;) But I'll do my best in not getting lazy (ーー;)

It's been a while

2011-07-11T10:34:00.002+08:00

Sorry guys for not updating this blog for a long time. I've been occupied with a lot things lately (´д｀) I've been transferred to another department (＞人＜;) and this time there are lots of meetings ヾ(ﾟдﾟ)ﾉ Well, don't worry since I'll be updating this blog once any stuff arrived (o^∇^o)

p.s： This blog turned 3y.o last month ｖ（＾＿＾ｖ）♪

As usual, media senbatsu are 1st-12th, lower senbatsu are 13th-21st, undergirls are 22nd-40th and to break it down by teams:

AKB48
Team A: 11 members (6 media senbatsu, 1 lower senbatsu, 4 undergirls)
Team K: 10 members (3 media senbatsu, 3 lower senbatsu, 4 undergirls)
Team B: 10 members (2 media senbatsu, 4 lower senbatsu, 4 undergirls)
Team 4: 2 members (2 undergirls)

SKE48
Team S: 4 members (1 media senbatsu, 1 lower senbatsu, 2 undergirls)
Team KII: 2 members (2 undergirls)

NMB48
Team N: 1 member (1 undergirls)

If you guysare thinking like "Wait, Team 4? What the heck is that? Are you kidding me?" (＾▽＾) Well nope, it was not a joke, it's real, they will have their own stage soon （＾ｖ＾）

OK so why this is the best AKB election EVER? Let me break that out in points:

Acchan no.1: got back her position, all hail the queen m(_ _)m
Yukirin no.3: I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT （　ﾟ Дﾟ）
Harunyan no.6: so can she get her center no3b position back? (≧∇≦)
Rena no.10: last year she almost beat Jurina by only few number of votes, but now she beat her by 9000 votes
Akicha no.12: congrats into making media senbatsu (*^▽^*)
Yuka no.20: she finally got into the senbatsu (Ｔ▽Ｔ)
Mocchi no.21: and Mocchi got back her senbatsu title (Ｔ▽Ｔ)

After looking at the result, I found that members with subunits kinda got a boost, especially French Kiss, Not Yet and DiVA （・∀・）

I don't know what will happen next year, but for the time being, I'm going to embrace Yukirin's 3rd position （￣ー￣）

Everyday, Kachuusha from HMV

2011-05-30T15:18:00.000+08:00

So my copies has FINALLY arrived (≧∇≦)/

It actually arrived last Thursday but since no one at home so the only thing left by the postman is a notice （￣□￣；） Originally I was thinking about picking up the item myself from the post office then I Google Map it and I have no idea where post office is （￣□￣；） So I called the post office customer service for re-attempt delivery only to find out they could only re-deliver the items today instead of last Friday or Saturday so I thought "hmmm OK no rush, as long as I can still vote" (´･ω･`) Vote for what? I'll get to that later in this post but before that...

Everyday, Kachuusha Reg Edt

Type A & Type B

Back

So I ordered Reg Edts again since the handshake tickets included in Ltd Edts are no use to me (^_^;)

Type A booklet back

Type B booklet back

I was actually surprised that Yukirin and Haruna are at the back of Type B booklet instead of Yuko and Takamina, so I thought they might be at the back of Ltd Edt booklet instead, I'm just glad that I ordered Reg Edt (*^▽^*)

HMV bonus photo

Meh, besides Haruna, I don't actually care about the other two (ーー;)

So earlier I have mention about voting, it is actually for AKB48 3rd General Election and I just voted for Yukirin, hope she will get a better position this year (>_<) And the early result has been released last week

credit: tokyolucifer@S48

Quite shocking top 10 I must say, but I won't get hype about it since this is only an early result, the real deal is the final result (>_<)

Flower

2011-05-28T12:30:00.000+08:00

Flower is the title of AKB48 front member, Atsuko Maeda (a.k.a Acchan), first single o(・∇・o) The single will be release on 22nd June 2011 and I am pretty much excited about this since I am a fan of Acchan ( ^-^)

These are the covers

Top L to R: Act 1, Act 2

Bottom L to R: Act 3, Theater Edt

Don't ask me why Act? Instead of the usual Ver or Type (・ω・) I have no idea myself (・ω・) Out of the covers, I like Act 2 and Theater Edt the most ( ^-^)

No track list for the Theater Edt yet but if it includes all songs from this single then I'll definitely buy it (≧∇≦) but I doubt so (ーー;) I'm not sure which version (~~or Act~~) I want to buy yet but from the covers I might go with Act 2 but let's wait until the b-sides are leaked (´･ω･`)

The song is actually a ballad, this is pretty much predictable because this is Acchan (^_^;) Acchan has this soft and sweet voice (*^▽^*)

Kakkowarui I love you! HMV

2011-05-15T18:59:00.000+08:00

These actually arrived last Friday, as usual I'm just lazy to post it right away (ーー;)

Front

Back

HMV bonus photo

Since I bought the regular editions so there are no trading cards because they're only included in the limited editions (ToT)

The only thing that I'm kinda disappointed about this single is the lack of content in the DVDs, there is only one PV (*￣m￣) Supposedly there is an original drama for this single like their previous singles but because of the earthquake the drama has been canceled (ToT) But they still can put in like making-of materials or something in the DVD (ーー;)

On a bright side, this single includes four ORIGINAL French Kiss songs instead of recycled AKB's unit songs (≧∇≦)/

Everyday, Kachuusha

2011-05-02T20:11:00.000+08:00

I have updated French Kiss' new single post with track lists, please check it out （＾_＾）It seems like Yukirin scored herself a 3rd solo song, called Pokkari included in Type A (#^.^#)

OK, I'm late in posting this but like everyone always say, late is better than never (´･ω･`) AKB48's new single information are out, let's start with covers...

Type A Ltd

Type A Reg

Type B Ltd

Type B Reg

Theater Edt

I'm sure some of you probably think "Have I seen this before?", yeap indeed, the covers are very similar （・∀・）And it's very obvious that they cropped Acchan & Tomochin from Type A Reg to make it Type A Ltd (ーー;)

Unlike their usual 16 senbatsu, this time there are 26 senbatsu （￣□￣；）These are the members participated for the a-side

Team A: Oota Aika, Kuramochi Asuka, Kojima Haruna, Sashihara Rino, Shinoda Mariko, Takajo Aki, Takahashi Minami, Maeda Atsuko
Team K: Itano Tomomi, Oshima Yuko, Kikuchi Ayaka, Minegishi Minami, Miyazawa Sae, Yokoyama Yui
Team B: Kasai Tomomi, Kashiwagi Yuki, Kitahara Rie, Komori Mika, Sato Sumire, Masuda Yuka, Miyazaki Miho, Watanabe Mayu
Team S (SKE48): Matsui Jurina, Matsui Rena
Team N (NMB48): Yamamoto Sayaka, Watanabe Miyuki

A lot of fans are speculating that this is a one time thing but since the 48 families are getting bigger, I'm not surprised if they will make the senbatsu as many as there are now and not to mention there will be another 48 group, HKT48, yeap I know this is just crazy (ーー;) but I'm going to only keep pay attention to AKB, I don't really care about SKE and NMB (´･ω･`)

It's one of those days...

2011-04-20T20:36:00.000+08:00

Before I start jumping to the main story, I have an announcement to make （゜◇゜）I found a new job (*^▽^*)

Well actually I have started working in the new place about 3 weeks ago but it's still contract position not permanent (´･ω･`) but at least the salary is a lot more than my previous job ヽ（´ー｀）┌ But it's been almost 3 weeks now and I still don't have work to do which kinda makes me worry and what I'm doing at the moment is just surfing the net but even surfing the net is boring now from over-surfing the net (ーー;) Well I just hope I'll get busy soon (ーー;)

OK so what's the main story is all about? Well, since moving to a new company, I took almost all of the transportation available, I drove from my house to a near train station then I took the train to the nearest station to the workplace and from the train station I took a bus to finally get to the workplace (ーー;) Well it doesn't suck at all, compared to stuck in a traffic jam (＾▽＾) But usually me and my friends took a cab going back from workplace to the train station since it's faster and it's cheaper if there are more people (＾▽＾)

But when you took a bus, time is money and yesterday happened to be what I would say one of the most terrible day of my life （￣□￣；） So as usual, like every other morning in weekdays, I drove to the train station and I parked my car at my aunt's house since it's free only then I noticed that I forgot to bring my cellphone （￣□￣；）

Then I think for a moment, "Should I just go to work without my cellphone?" only then I know that I can't live without a cellphone so I decided to go back to my house and take my cellphone and while driving I keep thinking how stupid I am forgetting to bring my cellphone (ーー;)

Well then everything went normal until I reached the train station near to my workplace, I have waited for like 10-15 minutes for the bus and when the bus arrived, it just happened to be the bus that didn't except money and only except transit card and I thought "Oh great!" because I don't have the transit card （￣□￣；） I started to lose my patience and took a cab instead (ーー;)

Then work is just like everyday, no work, surf internet until I bored and obviously I just slept (＾▽＾) Then about 10am my boss called me (luckily I didn't sleep that time lol) and told me that she is transferring me to other division because her division currently do not have a work that I can do （￣□￣；） and of course I am happy, as long as I can do something instead of just surfing the net until I got bored lol

So I got transferred to the new division later that afternoon, met the new boss, she explained the things that I will have to do etc and since I can't get access to the PC, she gave me something to read instead and I read them twice and then I just read this thick book about SQL that is on the table and keep on reading until the clock turned 5:30 (≧∇≦) and then thankfully, my life turned back to normal (^_^;)

My friends are complaining they are given a lot of work to do while I always complained to them that I have nothing to do and I just keep hoping that I can be busy like them too, at least that is what I called as "working", honestly I just want experience more than anything else *sigh* (ーー;)

Kakkowarui I Love You!

2011-04-02T13:31:00.002+08:00

Kakkowarui I Love You! is the title of French Kiss' 3rd single which will come out on 11th May 2011 （＾_＾）v

The covers are out and for those of you who do not know, this time the single have a freaking 6 versions （￣□￣；）

Type A Ltd Edt

Type A Reg Edt

Type B Ltd Edt

Type B Reg Edt

Type C Ltd Edt

Type C Reg Edt

Yeah, they're basically just like usual with 3 versions except this time there are limited editions （￣□￣；）The differences are the limited editions include event tickets and also a trading card while the regular editions includes errr pretty much nothing (ーー;) Since I'm not that crazy to buy all 6 versions, I'll probably only buy the regular editions since I like the covers more and that means I have to sacrifice the trading cards (Ｔ▽Ｔ)

And this time they also will have a Theater Version (´･ω･`) Which means there are a total of 7 versions? （　ﾟ Дﾟ）

Theater Version

I'll post the track lists once they are out, I hope the track list will not drive me crazy (ーー;)

Answer from HMV

2011-03-29T09:27:00.000+08:00

Well it's not like I sent a question to HMV or something (^^;)

This post is actually about no3b's single Answer which was release like earlier this month (2nd March), since I have nothing else to order it with so I have ordered it along with my sister's concert DVD which was released 16th March and because of the earthquake the shipment has been delayed but the package arrived safely last week （＾_＾）v

no3b 6th single Answer Haruna Ltd Edt

Back

Well to be honest I really like the song but what I don't like about this song is that Haruna only have few solo lines compared to the other two members (ーー;)

This version includes the song ☆の向こう側 (Hoshi no Mukogawa), the song is actually Haruna's unit song from Team A 6th stage and this is no3b version （＾_＾）

First press includes a photocard

OK, I know the photocard is probably selected randomly but I bought Haruna's version so I should've got Haruna's centered photocard （￣□￣；）I hate it when they do this kind of thing （￣□￣；）

And finally, this is actually a little pamphlet found in the single, it's promoting Haruna's new photobook

But what caught my attention is the quote made by AKB's producer below the picture of the cover of the photobook, "Yappari, Kirei da-" which can be translated something like "She's beautiful, as expected-" (´･ω･`)

As we all know Japan currently is in a bad situation with earthquake+tsunami hit the country almost a week ago and now they are facing explosive nuclear plant
（　ﾟ Дﾟ）

Well most of the well known celebrities are reported OK including my very own favorite, AKB48 (´･ω･`) In fact, AKB48 are making their own donation program （＾_＾）

Now all the best to all of the people there and hopefully things will turn out well for them (*^▽^*)

So actually the reason why I'm blogging today is because simply there is no work today and yes I'm writing this blog from my office （￣□￣；） Honestly working is not fun when the pay is not a lot and there's no motivation as well (ーー;)

There are lots of things I wanted to buy like new clothes, new shoes, perfume etc but with my salary now I have to think very carefully on how to spend my own money (*￣m￣) I hope I'll get a better job in the future (ToT)

Both Ltd and Reg Edt will come with a DVD containing choreography videos, meh, I'm not into this thing, I'd rather see a PV of the new Team songs (ーー;) And I don't know if anyone noticed but there are 2 songs for Team B, Renai Circus is a new song while Team B Oshi is a song from Team B 5th Stage, Team B Oshi got no.5 in AKB's Best 100 concert so I guess that's why it ended up in this album （＾_＾）v

The Ltd Edt of the album will come in a special box and also 100 page photobook, I can't wait (>_<)

Valentine Kiss from HMV

2011-02-20T11:17:00.000+08:00

Yay blog update （≧∀≦）♪

So I finally managed to get used to the working environment ( ´ ▽ ` ) There's not so much work at the moment so I'm taking it easy (￣∇￣) Though I'm still looking for a job since the work that I'm doing now is contract basis, I'm looking for a permanent job (Θ_Θ;)

Anyway last Thursday I got a package from HMV, usually HMV package always arrived on Friday so I was surprised that it arrived a day earlier than it usually did (ﾟ〇ﾟ;)

First off, Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 Valentine Kiss

Watarirouka Hashiritai 7 Valentine Kiss Reg Edt

Back

Reg Edt includes Mayuyu's solo song, Yuuhi no Ijiwaru, which is my favorite, Mayuyu always have a good solo song (oﾟ▽ﾟ)o It sounded like an old school Jpop idol song ＾▽＾

First presses for this single are HMV exclusive card and another random individual member card

It's hologram like it always do

Ayarin card

Urghhm I give up, I can never get a Mayuyu card ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

The next one is AKB48's new single, Sakura no Ki ni Narou

AKB48 20th single Sakura no Ki ni Narou Type A Reg Edt

Back

I saw someone posted the booklet of the Ltd Edt and I must say the Ltd Edt have a better booklet since it's bigger while the Reg Edt booklet is just like any other AKB48 single booklet (￣￣；)

HMV photo

Haruna

Yay, a Haruna photo, though I would appreciate more if it's Yukirin (´ω｀*)

Heads up

2011-02-06T18:43:00.000+08:00

I'm writing this to inform you guys that I have already found a job, I've just started last week but there's nothing much last week, the real deal starts this week and I want you guys to know that I won't be able to update much in the mean time, I need some time to adjust myself with the new environment, I need to get used to working at a place far away from home, currently I am looking for a place to stay nearby my workplace, I need to get used with the rest of the staff etc It's a lot of things but I'm sure I'll get used to all of these in the future but I'll try my best to keep this blog updated :)

from HMV with French Kiss

2011-01-25T12:09:00.001+08:00

These actually arrived last Friday, I thought about posting about it last Saturday, but I forgot since I was catching up with Fringe TV Series (￣￣；)

French Kiss If CD+Drama

Back

Yeah, the dreadful 3000yen worth of single (￣∇￣) I have not yet watched the drama, thanks to Fringe (￣∇￣)

If CD+Digital Comic

Back (w/ huge obi)

Back (w/o obi)

I took a peak at the digital comic, well there's nothing special, they were just pictures in slideshow with voice dubbing ( ´ ▽ ` ) There are 3 chapters with each chapter dubbed by one member (ﾟｰﾟ)

Here's an advice if you are buying French Kiss CDs, make sure they are first press, especially the one with DVD, the first press came with Making Of material which makes them worth your money, like the total length for +Drama DVD is approximately 65 minutes while +Digital Comic is 55 minutes (´ω｀*)

These are the HMV bonus photos

Yeah, same photos (　ﾟ ▽ ﾟ ;)ｴｯ!!

First press also came with "student card"

Top: Yukirin

Bottom: Akicha

Yay, I scored Yukirin again, I was afraid I won't be getting hers, so I'm glad now ☆＾▽＾☆

MINT for the win!

2011-01-17T13:51:00.000+08:00

In my last post, I have mentioned how much I love MINT's Kimi ni Tsuite and how I regretted that I didn't bought Beginner Type A ／(￣ﾛ￣;)＼ well actually that was a long time ago when Beginner just being released ヽ( ´ー`)ﾉ

Actually, last week I found a person from Malaysia sell Beginner Type A on eBay so I thought "I shouldn't miss this" since the seller is from Malaysia it should be cheaper than buying from sellers from other country, so I tried my luck just in case if the seller willing to sell it to me instead of leaves the bid going on but since there is someone else already bid on it so I have no other choice but to bid for it as well (￣∇￣)

Obviously I won （>▽<）ﾉ〰！！This actually arrived last Friday, I'm too lazy to post about it then ( ´ ▽ ` )

Beginner ~~2nd hand~~ Type A （>▽<）

Back

I'm actually happy to own a CD with MINT's song in it (oﾟ▽ﾟ)o

Sakura no Ki ni Narou

2011-01-16T21:25:00.000+08:00

Sakura no Ki ni Narou is the title of AKB48's 20th single which will be release 16th February 2011

The covers and tracklists are out ☆＾▽＾☆

Type A Ltd Edt

Type A Reg Edt

Type B Ltd Edt

Type B Reg Edt

The difference between Reg Edt and Ltd Edt is the inclusion of a handshake event ticket, since it's not relevant for me so I have ordered Reg Edt (^o^)丿and I'm glad I ordered Reg Edt since the cover is so much better than Ltd Edt (￣∇￣)

I am actually surprised that both MINT and DIVA are back, I thought they were a one time deal only (ﾟ〇ﾟ;) Not that I'm complaining though, I REALLY like MINT's Kimi ni Tsuite so I'm really looking forward for their new song as well （≧∀≦）♪ and Team Kenkyuusei got their original song again as well (ﾟｰﾟ)

Just like Chance no Junban, it seems like this is another easy choice for me, Type A （≧∀≦） Why? Yukirin, Mayuyu and Haruna on the same cover again just like Beginner Type B, but the problem with Beginner Type B is even though these 3 are on the same cover the version includes a song by DIVA, I'm not really a huge fan of DIVA's song (￣￣；) But this time they are on Type A which contains a song by MINT so it's a complete win for me, I hope MINT's new song will not suck though （≧∀≦）

I can't wait for the song to leak (´ω｀*)

HMV package on my bed

2011-01-05T20:10:00.000+08:00

This week is kinda a good week, I got my Yukirin card on Monday and today when I saw HMV package lying on my bed it makes me smile ( ´ ▽ ` )

Well I am quite excited this time because one of the item is no3b album because it comes with a lot of stuff in it but before that let's go back to December 2010

AKB48 19th single Chance no Junban Type B

Back

I know I'm late like a month （>▽<）I just don't know what to order this single with so that's why I grouped it together with no3b album (￣￣；)

The back cover is so full of win, why? because Yukirin is the center （≧∀≦）

And HMV photo

Well, at least it has Haruna and Suu-chan in it so I'm cool with it (￣∇￣)

Now, the main item...no3b 1st album o(≧∇≦o)(o≧∇≦)o

no3b 1st self titled album Haruna Ltd Edt

Back

The height and the width is the same like a regular DVD casing size (^-^)

no3b album next to Chance no Junban single

But that's not all though, the thing that makes me impressed with this album is actually the thickness (ﾟ〇ﾟ;)

Chance no Junban single on top of no3b album

So what's in it? A digipack styled housing for the CD+DVD, a hardcover photobook and a transparent housing for a misanga (=￣▽￣=)Ｖ

The misanga is nothing much, it could be a phone strap too, the photobook on the other hand is probably the star for this album, since I bought Haruna version so the misanga is printed with her name on it and the photobook is all about her （≧∀≦）

Oh, and a photo

HMV also put extra air bags in their packaging this time, I don't know why, probably because of no3b album? ヽ( ´ー`)ﾉ

Yay another Mayuyu solo Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ and it got a PV as well Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ

So these are couple of things to know, Hatsukoi yo Konnichiwa is originally a Mayuyu unit song from Team B 5th Stage; Pajama Drive is originally a Mayuyu unit song from Team B 3rd Stage and Somi Somi Rashira is actually So-mi-so-mi-la-ti-la, it's a music note (honestly I have no idea, credit goes to loveandcoffee & gideon123 @S48) （＞Д＜）
