Sorry for the late reply...
Yes, the photobook, IMHO, was a disappointment considering the price which is REALLY expensive as it had to be imported into the States!
If the pictures were "clear" then I wouldn't have an issue with it.
Couldn't care less about some of the poses the girls were in. Liked to see them outside of the band's school uniforms!
Remember that the photobook was probably aimed at the "hardcore" fans who really couldn't care less about the photographic quality but wanted to see the girls!
Imaging paying over $60 for a good CD (which has good songs) but a lousy photo book in which most of the pictures came out blurry and dark?!
If anyone ever took pictures, how many would NOT delete the dark/blurry pictures and hope there was another chance to take that "certain shot" over again? It's an issue of the picture quality!
My review comments had more to do with the photographic quality of the prints of the photobook than the band!
Thank you for the comments, though!
