at first I thought it was stupid releasing Karisome Otome again instead of having ariamaru tomi in the album... but she really did a nice choice!


<3 aww ringo is back

PS: is it only me, or Vogue shares lines with Amai Yamai??

I'm so excited... I'm going to Japan for the first time ever in a week, Tokyo no less. This album releasing so close to then is perfect timing. I have a feeling it's basically going to be the soundtrack to this six-week trip. Even if it's not as good as her other albums, I suspect I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for it for that reason.

(Unless, of course, my trip goes horribly wrong somehow.)

ob-la di ob-la da, brothaaa!

cdjapan is slacking like if it's going out of style right now after they seemed to have gotten off to a great start.

I KNOW! I want to hit something, they are taking their sweet ass time with this release. Usually they have it shipped and ready to go and here and its already tuesday and its STILL in shipping process.

So i rushed out and bought myself a copy. When I went to the store, it still wasn`t on the shelf, the guy was still putting on the security cases on the CDs..:P
So the slipcase showcases photo we`ve all seen for the promotional shots, and the booklet doesn`t have a cover, it`s just a salmon pink cover. It`s kinda like removing the clothes of someone, and becoming naked. The CD as well, i don`t think it had any writing on it.
I`d take photos and post but I`m at university right now :(

And it sounds promising too, the album :D

im hoping that they've actually shipped already and just haven't sent the email. it happened to me before with something that i got it the same day that they sent me the email and it turns out it had shipped a day or two earlier.

that is what I'm hoping too, although sometimes orders sit in the "shipping process" status for 3 or 4 days which is what worries me. I happened to log in and check when the order was being moved from "Not Yet Shipped" to "In Shipping Process" and they had the open order status left as "Not Yet Shipped" but the item was listed as "In Shipping Process" on the actual order page. cdjapan used to ship things the day before release, meaning I'd usually get it on a friday the week it came out, and the past year or so they have been shipping out a lot earlier, as soon as it comes in, meaning we would get it at the start of the week the item was released, but perhaps that was just a short phase.

yay, the first legit purchase/review of SG! that sounds nice. The guy at the store fitting security cases onto the cd sounds like they too got the album last minute. perhaps this release was a bit rushed from the manufacturer.

thats nice!! so thats the bareskin booklet thing??

does it say anywhere the symmetry with 50:05?

Um, is this the first photo of a store bought copy?



They had it front and centre in the store near my appartment. Seriously, Kaela who? Anyway, I took more photos but I don't wanna spoil the whole fun of opening it for other folks so if you wanna see you should be able to go to these links... here...
