Hmm... I would've liked a different shot. It's B3 size, but only 30% of the poster is filled by the girls  :oops: and the shot looks really busy, I don't think it will fit in my room   :sweatdrop:

It says it's approximately 72.8cm x 51.5cm, so isn't it more like B2? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size

I don't think I will get it either. With shipping (which is not free with posters on YA), it's ~CDN$20 for me. Maybe if it were a really, really, REALLY nice textless picture... but no, I'll pass.
I'll stick with my Remioromen poster. :inlove:

Aww, dammit. =[ I would have loved to get that poster, but yeah.... if it'll come out to so much, and it has all that stupid text... And it's so huge. O_O I have a bunch of posters already, and I don't think I'd have room for another epic-sized poster.  :lol: Hrm....maybe I can go blow up a pic at Kinko's and make my own poster.  :P

Anyhow, thanks for the link, lamb.  :)

Thanks for the link lambchopsuey.

I don't think I will be getting it either. You can get posters in Hong Kong for like HK$10 so selling it for US$21 is a rip-off especially when they probably got them free with the albums.

I've still got my Shoujo S poster on my wall so that will have to do for now.

Here's what I mean:

^nothing

What is a 'shipment unit'?
The shipping and handling fee we charge for each item depends on its weight, dimension and the complexity of packaging and processing it requires. For simplicity, we assign a 'shipment unit' to each item. For example, one standard CD or VCD usually counts for one shipment unit whereas a bulkier box set, toys, or posters may count for more units. The shipment unit for each item is displayed on its product page, where you can also find other product details and descriptions.

Yay! I got it!  :w00t: It turns out it came yesterday, but my mom was hiding it from me. For some reason.  :cry: She was waiting for me to act up, and then she'd keep it from me until Christmas (since it's actually my X-mas gift from her).

In the process of scanning now, so, be back soon! =D

I pre-ordered the CD with Photobook and the CD with DVD sets which arrived last week!

The CD is very good  :D
There were ~2-3 songs which have a jazz-like melody which really surprised me!
Guess the group is slowly maturing and developing more of their musical style and tastes.

The photo book is .... a disappointment  :(
The pictures were 1) slightly blurry, 2) grainy and 3) dark!
It looks like the band was photographed in a dark warehouse with the lights shut off!
It looked like an amateur took the pictures instead of a professional photographer!
It wouldn't be so bad if the pictures did not appear blurry!
Even advertisements had better pictures or better focus than the pictures in the picture book!
The picture book is a major let down and wasn't worth the extra money!

Don't know why the band chose a Circus theme for their covers but the best cover is on the regular edition CD!

Welcome!

Yes, the theme was 'pictures that could cause a scandal' which could explain the dark setting. All the pictures were taken by the girls themselves using simple camera's, which would explain why they aren't that professional looking.

@ MrMojo: Wow. You really think it's that bad? I mean, sure, some of the pics were absolutely ridiculous. So much black ink used, and the pictures were definitely blurry. But, seeing so many other photobooks, I can say this is the first one I've seen in which I think, "Wow, the artist really put an effort into pleasing the fans." Many of us fans were hoping - praying otherwise (well, some) - that it would be bigger than a CD booklet, some even are.

I still wish some of the 100s of pics weren't blurry and stuff, but as Barrie said, it was like.... provocative, scandalous images in a certain way.... And it felt... so indie, or something.  :P They weren't perfect, carefully choreographed images. They felt real.


@ Barrie.... wow. A Korean version? =O I don't think I've ever seen a Korean release before~ And daw, no cheaper photobook? Oh well~ I wanted to get my friend a pb copy, but.... meh. I can't throw so much money away again. O_O I got Christmas to think ahead to. :lol:
