The final large package of my multimonth ordering spree finally arrived, yay.
 


Almost done now.

Got some new Take related items today, not pictured is the muffler towel been after one for ages and for some reason they always seemed to sell out everywhere at concerts. Take wota apparently really like muffler towels for whatever reason. She looks gorgeous on the big towel and the plastic standee thing arrived. Honestly thought it'd be a bit bigger but it looks okay. 



After that I was like "screw it" and took photos of the rest of the room while adding new posters and stuff.

I got this Harunan 2L set recently ^^

 

[hanawopun]

I can't believe no one reacted to Moondoggie's room photos!!!

WOW.  What an epic display.  I love your framed W poster!

 

I just got back from Japan and since this is a very rare treat I certainly had to treat myself while I was there.  I hit the two Trio shops, the official H!P store and one shop that sold general idol goods and here's what I came home with.  I'll use thumbnails to spare you all but feel free to click to enlarge:

 

C-ute on wax!!  Though I own tons of records I only own two Jpop ones.  Angerme and now this C-ute one.

 

  

 

DVDs.  My H!P CD/DVD collection is so extensive that sometimes I forget what I own so the Berryz DVD in the middle I already had, but at least it was only 400 yen.  The one on the right I found in a bargain bin in a Playstation video game store that had some anime and random DVDs in a bin.

 

 

Clear files.... though I didn't take a picture, I also bought my first clear file holder.  It was from the Hello! Project shop and has their logo on it.

 

 

If I had spent more time in the Trio shops I probably would've picked up many more photos, but the problem is the shop is so tiny with such narrow rows that it is so uncomfortable to sort through the photos.  If I was smaller and thinner (Asian - ha) then it would have been a bit better but still they have rows and rows close to the FLOOR and if you sat down no one else can get through.  Anyway, I got some classic Risakos and some other favorites.

 

 

The only photos I bought from the official H!P store were these.  If I was more into all of the current acts then I'd probably get more excited about that shop but it was rather anti-climactic for me as it was like 80% photos, a few books and barely any CDs / DVDs to speak of.  

 

 

One of my coolest random finds because I just happened to look in a little bin of H!P paraphernalia.  A C-ute concert video via a USB BUTTON!  I haven't even tried it yet but I'm thinking you navigate the video directly from the button via the controls.  The box is about the size of an audio cassette.

 

 

CDs (and DVD combos) I purchased:

 

 

The green CD Journal book on the upper right must have just come out a couple weeks ago because my first visit to the official H!P store didn't have it at first... I bought it at a regular book shop in the mall, then the 2nd time I went to the H!P store they had it.  As for some of the older books like Risako & Airi I got them super cheap.  Big hardback books for only 300 or 600 yen.

 

 

 

As for the shops themselves, take a peek inside the spoiler tab below if you like.  The official H!P store had signs everywhere that photos were prohibited, yet I saw some girls snapping away with their iPhones so I guess they can only enforce the rule so much. 

 

Spoiler

 

Busy day in the H!P official shop.

 

 

Surprisingly they allowed photos to be taken of the C-ute costumes.  When I was there a week earlier these costumes were all out just on the stands and not mounted in the glass...

 

 

 

This is Trio's 2nd shop, located in Osaka.  Though it's the 2nd shop and smaller in size than the original Trio, I actually found many more things to my liking in this shop.

 

 

 

 

I was a bit surprised to find that many of the fan based / limited DVDs were so pricey.  I've found some of these items cheaper online via Yahoo but then I do have to pay for 3rd party service + shipping...

This week's arrivals.

I hope to do the same as you someday - have enough money to get both Berryz and C-ute final albums. Awesome purchase!!

[hanawopun]

I don't get the appeal for the C-ute singles box considering I already own all of the singles lol.

[maora]

I don't. I'm not a big C-ute stan, so I'm not much interested in getting the 29 I'm missing. I'd rather focus on the albums. (Same with Berryz.) So this set is perfect for someone like me.

I guess for fans, the appeal is the convinience (all singles, all b-sides, all pvs in blu-ray, etc.) and the nice packaging are some of the selling points.

Been there, done that  -.-

That's why I only post here about 10% of what I buy, as I'm almost ashamed of how much, not to mention the labor of taking so many photos & posting lol.  First world problems.

[Ares13]

Quoting what I wrote on Chiichan thread

Got my Chiichan blu-ray ..
I got it with direct order from Amazon Japan as we had talk about here on the cheapest way to get it ..
Amazon Japan delivery is cheaper as it seem they don't use ems ..
and the delivery was faster than I expected as it was expected to arrive on Thursday this week ..
Actually base on my estimation .. they are as fast as EMS but costing less ..
I would have gotten it the same day if I use another seller using EMS
Great I think I would go for Amazon japan direct if I got like orders with 1 item

[Gabby]

Won all these lots on YAJ, only bought most of them for a few sets I need but worth it, at least at the price I got them for LOL.
Also got a bunch of random sets from the shop coming too.

[maora]

It's midnight and I just opened ny package from CDJapan.

Same here, I have not posted in ages because it is just too much. I must have bought around 200 photos, 30 dvds, a bunch of CDs and various other goods since last time. It is just not worth taking pictures of it all. It is almost like bringing out my entire CD collection of my favourite group, I did that most recently in January and took pictures of it. The process took me 2 hours and now H!P collection pictures are starting to become that much work too.
