Japanese singles and albums (Part 3 of 3)

From the first post:

"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!

Japanese singles and albums (Part 2 of 3)

Hey! Say! JUMP Over single Limited A Edition

I'm just too glad I have a copy of this one, this was the last single Hey! Say! JUMP released with the participation of former member Morimoto Ryutaro. :( And the title just have to be Over? :( Hah! I hope Johnny is somehow repenting about his decision to cut out Ryutaro from the group, Ryutaro has grown into a fine young man! He recently joined twitter and started uploading videos on YouTube! He's so good looking! Aaaahhhhh! The baby of JUMP has grown into an ikemen! It's just sad that while Ryutaro is still part of this single, he was suspended the day before it was released. Shame on you, tabloid writers who wrote about Ryutaro that time! I hate you forever! Don't tell me that it's because you're worried because he was still a minor that time and that this might influence fans who are also minors, you just want money! That's all there is to it! If you were really worried about him, you could have done something else. You're adults, don't be such a sly! Ikr. I should just make a separate about this. Lol. Sorry, my feelings just came out.


Arashi Wild at Heart Limited Edition

This is such a fun song! This was used as themes song for Matsumoto Jun's drama Lucky Seven. I really like the cover of this one. The choreography is so jolly, but unlike, Hey! Say! JUMP's Come On A My House, I really like this one. Or maybe I'm just bias? Lol.


Hey! Say! JUMP Super Delicate single Limited A Edition

This was used as theme song for Risou no Musuko which starred Hey! Say! JUMP members Yamada Ryosuke and Nakajima Yuto. I really like the song, but, I didn't quite like the drama. I've read some comments and some fans have positive feedback about the drama, but it seems quite off to me. Call me weird or whatever, but I didn't really enjoy the drama that much. Risou no Musuko may just be the drama that Yamada Ryosuke starred in which I like the least. I know it's comedy, but there's just too much comedy, it didn't quite bring out the talent the actors have in them. And the comedy was just too boring for me.
But yes, I like Super Delicate. :D


Yamada Ryosuke Mystery Virgin single Limited A Edition

I'm so proud of my ichiban in Hey! Say! JUMP for having debuted solo with this single! However, while I'm so proud of him, it doesn't mean I would support all at once if ever he decides to leave Hey! Say! JUMP and go completely solo. I'm just glad that he really loves Hey! Say! JUMP so much that he was actually bothered and confused when he learned that he's releasing a single alone. When I've read about Yamada's and the other members' thoughts in magazine interviews, I was too touched because there is just too much love between them! I believe that Yamada's love for Hey! Say! JUMP will make him stick with the group through thick and thin, and I believe he's not that selfish to just leave them behind. (I'm rolling my eyes here for Jin and YamaPi lol but I still love them both)


D☆DATE 1st Date album Limited Edition

This is my first and only D☆DATE CD as of now. This was released when Yanagishita Tomo was still not added to the group, and Igarashi Shunji haven't retired yet from the entertainment industry. Come on, is he really not coming back? :( I really like this album, and I want to support them more if I'll have a more flexible budget in the future. I hope they will have more releases and they can have concerts in the bigger arenas!


Arashi Boku no Miteiru Fukei album Regular Edition

Nothing much to say about this one, but it was my first Arashi album. :) I wanted to have the limited edition but it was not available anymore by then. :( I'm still eyeing to buy the limited edition even secondhand, if someone out there decides to sell their copy at a reasonable price. That's if I have money by that time though. Lol. My favorite song in this album has to be "My Girl" which was used for Aiba Masaki's drama with the same title. I really like Come Back to Me by Matsumoto Jun as well! But, actually I like all the songs! XD :)

Hey! Say! JUMP Hitomi ni Screen single Limited Edition

Hitomi no Screen was one of the first Hey! Say! JUMP songs I heard and liked. I love the dance steps for the song as well. Hey! Say JUMP looks very sexy and cool on the jacket cover! Hitomi no Screen was used as theme song for Yamada Ryosuke's drama Hidarime Tantei Eye.

Hey! Say! JUMP JUMP NO. 1 album Regular Edition 

I couldn't get the limited edition of this one as well. :( But I'm planning to buy it secondhand as well. XD I have lots of favorite from this album, they are Infinity, Shinku, Ganbaretsugo!, Time, Score, and Your Seed. :)

I'll post the last part later or tomorrow! :)

Japanese singles and albums (Part 1 of 3)

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 these supposedly one post in to three. For this first part, I'll talk about the first seven singles in the box which you can see in the photo.

KiS-MY-FT2 Everybody Go single Limited A and B Editions (Phil. release)

The first two are the Limited A and B versions of the Everybody Go single. These two CDs are my first Kisumai single and until now, the only Kisumai single I have in my collection. I'll be honest and say I can't follow Kisumai that much because Arashi's activities are already too much too handle. XD This is not a Japanese version of the CD but a locally released CD. This is the first ever Japanese CD released locally here in the Philippines, and I couldn't just passed up the chance. A lot of other Japanese singles and albums were released locally after the success of this one. Aside from these two though, all my singles and albums are Japanese versions.

Hey! Say! JUMP Your Seed Limited Edition 

This one was released way back in 2008, but I was only able to get a hold of it this April 2015, so yes, this is my most recent buy among all these CDs. This is one of my most favorite Hey! Say! JUMP single, so I've been wanting to have a copy. I bought this secondhand but I'm glad it still looks great. This is such a bargain because it only cost me around 350 pesos in total! 

Hey! Say! JUMP Ride With Me Limited A Edition

I like this single very much and even though I was really broke during the time of its release, I somehow found a way to buy it. From here on, I won't tell how much did it cost me to buy the other CDs, I'll just leave it up to your imagination. Lol. I don't even want to remember because it's too much money! XD On another note, this was used as theme song for Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo: Gokumon Juku Satsujin Jiken, which starred two Hey! Say! JUMP members, Yamada Ryosuke and Arioka Daiki.

Hey! Say! JUMP Come On A My House Limited A Edition

I can't really say that this single is a favorite but since it's Hey! Say! JUMP, I still like it. The song is an OK song, but maybe the cheerfulness was too much that it couldn't really please me that much?

Arashi Endless Game Limited Edition

In 2013, I decided to only buy Arashi singles which will be used for Matsumoto Jun's drama since he is my most favorite member. It's not that I wouldn't like to buy the other singles but they are releasing too much, and my budget couldn't keep up. So I don't know what happened, I just realized I already pre-ordered this single back then. No regrets though, it's a very much likable song. It was used as theme song for one of the best Japanese dramas of 2013 which is Kazoku Game.

Hey! Say! JUMP Arigatou Sekai no Doko ni Itemo Limited Edition

This is a favorite because how can I resist a Hey! Say! JUMP talking in my local language?! It may be brief, but since they are singing their gratitude to other parts of the world, part of the lyrics are the Filipino words "Salamat po", which translates to "Thank you". Personally, I like the jacket cover of the regular edition more but I still opted to buy the limited edition. It's limited edition after all. XD

That's it for now. Please check out Part 2 once I've posted it as well. :) Part 2 is here! :)
