See, what did I say XD? This is what happens when the girls of AKB48 release something every week for 4 weeks. Just a few thoughts…

Each of these singles come in at least three different versions and I was tempted to buy at least two versions for each. I’d usually order a second version from HMV for the different bonus photo, cover, content etc. This time I decided not to in order to save on money.

For the most part I’m pleased with all the first press photos I got received from CDJapan except “Naminori Kakigoori“‘s Yui photo. I was really hoping for Yuko, Sasshi, or even a group pic. Yui is a sweet cherry and all but she’s not what I was expecting =(. Guess I can’t have everything!

The election guidebook is highly recommended for the price and content. It has a ton of pictures and great info on every single member that was part of the 2011 senbatsu elections. The top 10 or so members get about 4 full color pages each. Each copy of this guidebook comes with one of two different posters (Type A or B). Type B has Acchan, Tomochin, Takamina, Yukirin, Jurina, and Kasai. I’m pretty pleased with my Type A (pictured on top). Kojiharu and Yuko is a fair trade for Acchan, Tomochin, Takamina, and Yukirin…or is it @_@? They were pretty smart in splitting up the top members evenly in each group shot. Acchan, Tomochin, Takamina, Yukirin, Kojiharu, and Yuko would have been godly though! It’s a little regrettable the poster is folded and has ugly creases. Good thing the girls counteract this :D.

Finally, I couldn’t resist buying my oshi’s first photobook. It’s quite thick and has a ton of content for the price. Looks like it’ll make for some great reading too!

Can’t wait to delve into my books and rip them CDs!
