CDJapan misspelled "Kasai" again

That'll make it that much harder to decide which one to get!

D: Well, judging by who's taken the photos in each book- It looks like I'll be getting the Blue album and many more of my favourites are on that one! Atleast AKB girls seem to take alot of group/2 shots including themselves on their blogs~ ; u ; So hopefully there should be a nice balance of members~

Ofcourse I'll be waiting to see previews before I order~

Who knows- I may just get both!

It's somewhat possibly to work out who might appear in each by thinking who does each of those members hang out with.
Like if you like mariko, then blue might be best cuz Maachan might take a bunch of pics of her xD

Red with Sasshi=biggest chance of shiichan pics ^^" Also generally the photographers are more favourites of mine.

More than likely Tomochin and Tomo~mi took pictures of each other, so I'll need to get both either way.

The blue cover looks as expected

Books like these can turn out to be great, but some previews would be nice.

Descriptions from Yesasia:

Quote

The BLUE Album: See another side of AKB48 with their latest photo album! Instead of a typical studio-shot photo album, the 15,000 potential photos taken for the Yusatsu photo albums were all taken by AKB48 members themselves. They reveal moments in the members' lives when they're out of the spotlight and having fun with their AKB group-mates.
Released on the same date as The Red Album, The Blue Album features 15 AKB members, including two from SKE48. The photos here include lingerie photos taken at the Heavy Rotation music video shoot (photographed by Oshima Yuko), and other AKB48 photos featuring the SKE48 girls.

The photos here come from the group's Ponytail to Shou Shou music video shoot (photographed by Takahashi Minami) and a special pajama party the girls had during a trip to Los Angeles (photographed by Minegishi Minami).

I'm suprised it's gone on for this long~

I like how Yuko and Takamina were in charge of this years 2 bikini/lingerie shoots.... >___>

Tiny commercial in the corner that probably nobody noticed.

For the ppl that don't check the pic thread (why?), I guess the pics will probably be like the weekly article.

Yuko in charge of the Hebiro pics?! That'll be some pervy pics

Each book comes with one bonus pic, some examples:

I just got these and they're fantastic. I love these types of photobooks anyway, but no lie, Kasai took a photo of Kuramochi Asuka's cleavage. There's not even a face in it - just boobs.

naruse · « **Reply #17 on:** April 05, 2011, 04:55:40 AM »

These are like the best books ever

definitely worth it
Since I have 2 copies I'm thinking of scanning it, but I never took the bind off a book before so I don't know
