"23 Japanese singles/albums and counting! Today, I'm sharing a picture I took of my precious CD collection. One may say 23 is just a small number but these are Japanese CDs, and yes, they are not cost effective. :( Btw, I'm a poor lady barely surviving every day. XD
I started collecting Japanese singles and albums 5 years ago as I entered the fandom I'm in until now, and which I don't think I'm leaving anytime soon. I would love to buy more from more artists/musicians but I guess I have to work harder and earn more money, but let's not talk about that anymore. Money matters is such a pain after all.
I would just like to boast share what these 23 albums and singles are, though you can pretty much see their titles on the picture. Along the way, I'll put my thoughts in the singles/albums as well."
I'll proceed first with the CD at the down-most part of the box, then go upwards until the CD in the uppermost part. To avoid a very long post, I'll split the supposedly one post in to three. Before proceeding to the 3rd part, you may want to read 2nd part, it's here. In this last part, I'm going to share my thoughts about the last eight CDs from the box you can see above.
Arashi single Monster Regular Edition
I'm planning to sell my regular edition CDs then use the money to buy a limited edition copy, but I'm not planning of letting go of this one. This is my first Japanese CD ever, and of course, it holds a special place in my heart. To be honest, Monster is not one of my favorite songs from Arashi but since this really has a sentimental value because my collection started with this one, I'm really not letting it go.
Arashi Troublemaker single Regular Edition
Not one of my favorite singles as well and i'm actually planning to sell it someday if i can find a limited edition copy. Yes, I still plan to buy the limited edition even if it's not my favorite since I want to complete the Arashi discography. Ikr. It'll be hard, and I will be poorer. Lol.
Arashi One Love single Limited Edition
This one is secondhand like my Hey! Say! JUMP's Your Seed copy. I've been searching for this and for Love So Sweet as well! Anyone has a limited edition of Love So Sweet out there? :) Really love this song, good to be sung at a wedding but attendants won't understand if they don't know the language. Lol.
Arashi LOVE album Limited Edition
I was pretty surprised with the packaging, it's different from the previous ones. Well, it's Arashi so there are surprises here and there, of course. I'll admit I haven't listened to this album faithfully. By faithfully, I mean, I'm very familiar with all the songs already. My most favorite song from this has got be Endless Game.
SPYAIR Beautiful Days single Limited Edition
I was supposed to have SPYAIR's Samurai Heart (Some Like It Hot!) single but limited edition was not available anymore by the time I ordered. :( The limited edition has SPYAIR on the cover while the regular edition has the anime Gintama on the cover. I didn't want the regular edition because I haven't really watched the anime, and I want SPYAIR!!! I have already paid for it so I just told the seller to get me the next SPYAIR single which will be released in 2 months, so I got this. It's not like I don't want this though, I want them both. But, Samurai Heart is my all-time favorite SPYAIR single so I'm sad about not having a copy until now. :(
Arashi Beautiful World album Limited Edition
My favorites from this album are Mada Minu Sekai e and Sakurai Sho's solo Kono Mama Motto. Kono Mama Motto is my most favorite solo song by Sho! It just feels so sweet! I love the CD jacket and the pamphlet or whatever it's called. Lol, I know the term but I forgot so I'm settling with the pamphlet.
Arashi Popcorn album Limited Edition
This is special! This was released on my birthday October 31, so the dreamy me treated it as a birthday gift from Arashi to me! I didn't get my copy on the exact date though, it was delayed. Lol. My favorites are Welcome to Our Party, Face Down, Wild at Heart and Sakurai Sho's solo Fly on Friday! Yes, Sho's solos are my favorites for two consecutive albums because they are nice!
Arashi Ura Ara Mania compilation album Limited Edition
This is the most expensive, I can't remember exactly how much but it was really so expensive! Well, we can't expect it to be cheap, there are 4 CDs with 62 songs in total! This was released to commemorate AraFes or Arashi Festival concert. Definitely, a must have for Arashi fans out there! But, isn't everything Arashi is a must have? XD :)
That's it! I finally finished this 3-part commentary of my Japanese singles and albums collection. I love seeing others posting their fandom stuff too! Oh well, about my fandom stuff, they are not that much but it's hard to get them all in one picture. XD I'll try to post a picture of them someday! No promises though!
