Jpop Bonanza!!!

Well, totally not fashion-related, but getting new CDs is always an exciting part of my life, so I figured I might as well share ^o^  ESPECIALLY ARASHI CDs!!!

Lotus, their newest single! ^_^  I absolutely love this song... it's different from the majority of their other songs which tend more to the bubblegum pop side, or at least gentle ballads.  Lotus is on the more intense and dramatic side, which is cool!  And all the boys sound great in it, especially my lovely Nino ^o^  And the dance is awesome too, so much so that I'm even considering learning it as a dance cover, even though it's a little weird for a girl to dance-cover a boyband? I don't know XD

I got the Limited Edition because I wanted the pretty lyrics booklet with all their photos in it >_>;;  That means I don't get the 2 B-sides, and I have a DVD that I can't actually watch in any of my DVD players... but IT'S OKAY, right?  Pretty pictures...

Also, also, also, AKANISHI JIN's debut single Eternal!!! Containing two of the most beautiful jpop songs (in my repertoire, anyways).  While his voice can't compete with my lovely Nino's, or even Ohno's heavenly one, he's still fantastic, and the fact that he can COMPOSE such awesomeness makes up for any vocal lacking...

Got the... some-letter edition... XD  There were like 5 versions...  This one didn't have the extraneous DVD, but still had a pretty insert-sized photo booklet.  Yay!

And the third jpop awesomeness is AAA's new album Buzz Communication.  ^_^  I adore this group... they have an awesome mix of singing, dancing, and rapping skills, and one of their leads Takahiro Nishijima has one of the most wonderful male singing voices ever (I love him so much, even if he looks kinda awkward in some pictures) XD  I really like their most recent style, which works out great for this album ^_^

It came with so many unexpected extra goodies O_O  A member trading card (I got Urata...), plus a really beautifully done glossy-covered photo booklet!! Haha awesomeness!! ^_^

Also... my roommate bought a soysauce flavored KitKat bar on eBay, and we tried it today.  It was... interesting.  Tasted more like a cross between white chocolate, vanilla, and maple syrup.  Certainly not soysauce XD

On a more fashion-related note, my package from Innocent World arrived today, but I ordered with Yoshi-chan, so I won't be opening until we meet up on Monday evening ^_^
