Feels like a looong while since my last shopping post… since GxA BD I think? Despite buying a bit too many Scarlet Knight / Pop Master.. ^^;;

Oh well. It’s JunPara time!

Someone I know went crazy and requested me to get all possible tokuten so it turned out like this.. ^^;;

11 tokuten types!!
Missing Shinseido since it’s gone in 2 shops I went to, but another friend already secured one for me though I will only get it in Sendai.

I actually didn’t count how many I bought until today lol.

So these are mine. I have good taste right. xD

Paper fan (front/back) from Gamers old CD fair. High quality stuff!

Inside look. The lyrics booklet pic is darn nice!

Advertisements.
Gotta love this ad trailer! And it was playing Nana songs too!

Junketsu Paradox

7COLORS

…but I took pics anyway lol.

Hanging-posters in JR Keihin-Tohoku train.

Tora no Ana front display.

On Gamers building in Akihabara. YukaNana <3

There are 10 JunPara signboards in Tokyo but I only found 6. The others are too far and they are all the same anyway… and I got the most important one that Nana blogged. She accidentally saw it on her way to next workplace and asked the taxi driver to make another turn so she could take a photo. xD

It’s in Aoyama <3

Yoyogi.

All in Shibuya area but took me almost 1 hour walk to find them orz..
Honestly I think it’s better just to have 1 but right in front of the station (like Impact Exciter) than several boards in a rather confusing area.. I’m sure there would be way more people noticing it that way. :-/

Anyway, that’s all for JunPara festival! xD
Still no sign of finishing Journey reports lol.. especially that I’m going to Minorin’s Summer Camp tomorrow. xD Good night!

I’m sure everyone fapped to this days ago but yeah SHOULDERS (´Д｀；)ハアハア
There is no “junketsu” (innocence) in this PV at all lololol just the “paradox” I guess. xD In a very approved way. xD

-I like how the Noh (masked dancer) interchanged evenly with Nana’s freestyle dancing. It wouldn’t be as interesting if it’s just Nana all the time. ^^;; Like the original Noh play, started with a human female then adding her alter-ego deity next… paradox it is.
-The strong traditional Japanese feel contrasted well with Scarlet Knight’s European feel. I must say I prefer this look waaaaaay more.. especially the last shots with the umbrella, she looked like a painting..

Moving on to CD shop tokuten, I was hoping for a kimono shot but we got a totally irrelevant photoshoots again ^^;;; very well forgiven because FFFF GLASSES FFFF yes I like my meganekko xD too bad I cannot afford too many copies but will try my best.

As usual the nice people in HMV are the only ones thinking about overseas fans. ^^;;

It’s cute, not the best among the choices, but available.

Gamers offers the best shot in this batch. Or this year. LIKE SRSLY ARGHHHHH ;A; I went on and looped Aoi Iro PV for a few hours to sustain the excitement..
Also special fair, free uchiwa (paper fan) for 2000 yen purchase on Nana’s CD/DVD excluding JunPara… yay for moar doubles/triples…

WonderGOO (Left) never disappoints. I will do anything for that smile.
And thank you Tower Records (Right) for the legs…. m(__ __m)

From here on I’m still wavering which to get..

Sofmap (Left) or Papermoon (Right)? The question is more like “Do-S or Do-M?” xDDD but yeah I’m leaning towards Sofmap for the glasses and Do-S look…

Tsutaya (Left) or Animate (Right).. I cannot decide which is cuter. ;__;

Tora no Ana (Left) or Yamano Music (Right). Tora is oh-so-cute but no money lol.

Circle K (Left) . Tbh she looks kinda scary.. ^^;;
Shinseido (Right). The only one with kimono shot, but the wrong one? Would buy in a heartbeat if it’s something like this. xD

I literally only have 532 yen on my wallet now so maybe I shouldn’t be so greedy..

List in outfit order.
PS. Tower Records haven’t posted a shot of their tokuten yet, but it’s postcard for simultaneous purchase.

Simultaneous Purchase
Green/black striped hat, red/white striped top, black/white checkered skirt? How could she still look SO adorable? xD

@HMV (postcard)

The ONLY tokuten available for overseas buyers!! Hurry!! xD

@Sofmap (reversible B3 poster)–Sold out online –Buy?

Gone online but Sofmap real shops are everywhere. :3
I actually prefer bromides than mini poster.

TSUTAYA (postcard) –Buy

Best shot for this costume IMO.

@Yamano Music (postcard)

Pass. Too similar to TSUTAYA and she looks chubbier here. xD

Fruit ribbon thing
Alternate CD cover for simultaneous purchase in Shinseido.

So far the one & only, unless Tower also comes out with this…
Pass; but I swear I’ll get one if it’s a full body-shot AND the outfit could distract me from the hippie head. xD

Scarlet Knight only
Honestly this is cute; Nana always looks good in yellow and non-fruity ribbons. But I guess everyone expected some really cool shots to balance the CD cover’s theme.

Circle K (bromide) –Sold out –Ordered

Best shot IMO. Irresistible smile!!

Gamers (bromide) –Buy

Ssshhh I liek ribbon.

Papermoon (bromide) –Ordered

Need one full-body shot.

Animate (bromide)

Pass. I think.

Toranoana (postcard)

Hnnng. Pass.

WonderGoo (bromide)

Pass.

Pop Master only
Ohmygod.

WonderGoo (bromide) –Ordered

OHMYGOD.

Circle K (bromide) –Sold out –Ordered

%!#$!@#$@#!%OH@!MY#!#GGGGGGG—

Papermoon (bromide) –Ordered

I just have no self-restraint. ┐(´ー｀)┌

Gamers (bromide) –Buy

This is how you define moe.

Toranoana (postcard)

Pass…? Don’t kill me but I don’t really fancy her expression here.. those legs are holding me back though..

Animate (bromide)

Pass. I don’t really fancy close-ups for tokuten..

Yeah now I have 5 SK and 6 PM…. either I’ll cancel some (ppffffft) or add more…. orz.

“Let’s open the boxes first!” -> stopped writing after that lol. Anyway here’s BD+DVD!

Blue Set

LOL 5 DVD it’s like 1 season of a TV serie or something. ^^; Mature Nana for blue.

Red Set

Cute stalking pose? |ω･) ｿ lolol. Playful Nana for red!

On to tokuten.. I went around to check the real stuffs… Gamers’ bromide ARE yummy but uh desk calendars. Sofmap’s photo album is pretty good with hardcover, 2 bromide slots/page fitting 32 in total. But in the end I decided for Tora and Mate!

Toranoana

Tapestry doesn’t make good photo so next to it is the display outside Tora! Caramell Nana Dansen!

Lovely cards. My unique serial numbers (printed on the back) are about 300ish. The red one is 333! Too bad not 77 lol.

Animate

Smaller box for 2xBD (friend’s), bigger box for 2xDVD (mine). Very slight difference in photo size so it doesn’t really matter.

Both sides view and back side view.

Clear posters from Animate~

WonderGOO

Rather disappointing with clear paper just like Animate’s bonus, instead of the usual thick deskmat.

Okay can’t focus on typing if my eyes are fixated on the wrong screen…. Anyhow those are the tokutens.. maybe tomorrow morning promotion report! <33

First of all, bonus poster from the makers! These should come with first-press purchase in any shop, Japanese or overseas. If not explicitly written, just email them first. Red and blue posters for respective DVD/BD.

Wandahful.

For overseas buyers.
I believe you already knew that CDJapan offers 2L-sized bromide (12.7×18cm) for each item! Impressive! Finally someone cares about overseas customers. ^^;

Red [BD / DVD] and Blue [DVD].. too bad BLUE [BD] is gone (I hope that’s because you all took those!). I only recommend CDJapan because they ensure you get maker’s posters (if written) and roll them nicely.

If you choose to save money, HMV (Red, Blue) has a special sale! BUT most likely they would fold your posters (that’s why shipping’s cheap. Amazon (Red, Blue) are even cheaper but they overcharge on S&H..

On to Japanese shops bonuses. I’m only getting each BD and each DVD. Some shops offer extra bonus if we purchase both Red and Blue there.. so I can only choose 2? But even there’s no special bonuses it all depends on the shot; even a bromide can win a poster if Nana looks cuter there…. Hnnnnnnnng trying to list (+) and (-) of each tokuten.

Toranoana. Collection card for either Red or Blue.

Set purchase bonus: B2 tapestry.

(+) Best extra bonus amongst the bunch! Caramell Nana Dansen u~u~umauma!!
(-) Card (like a telephone card size….) lol if only they were bromides. >_<

Animate. B3 clear poster for either Red or Blue.

Set purchase bonus: paper-made box to hold 2 BD or 2 DVD.

(+) Nice full body shots for the posters plus a cute & creative DIY box!
(-) Hmm actually none, this is the best value-for-$ tokuten though do I need more posters? >_>

Gamers. Bromide for either Red or Blue.

Set purchase bonus: desk calendar.

(+) I LOVE the bromide shots!! Best shots of this bunch! Moe moe kyun pose FTW.
(-) Desk calendar is the size of a CD so it’s not very impressive.

WonderGOO. Bromide for either Red or Blue

Set purchase bonus: A3 deskmat.

(+) Deskmat is cuuute.. and huge..
(-) Bromide shots are so-so compared to other shops.

…CHOOSING TWO. Please don’t laugh if I come back with 3… wait I don’t have that money orz.

Aaaand from here on I’ve decided not to get them. Just listing. ^^

Sofmap. Bromide for either Red or Blue.

Set purchase bonus: photo album.

No idea on the photo album’s size. I’m guessing it’s a small bromide size but then why didn’t they just name it “bromide holder” as usual? Either way if I want a full body shot of bunny Nana I’d rather take Toranoana.

Tsutaya. A3 poster calendar for either Red or Blue.

So frickin’ slyyyyy. Half a year each poster so there’s no point for getting only one! This is actually pretty good but the maker’s B2 posters are better yeah?

Shinseido. Alternate cover for either Red or Blue.

Size of the DVD or BD box.

Circle K. Postcard for either Red or Blue

Papermoon. Bromide for either Red or Blue.

Which would you pick?

Tokyo suddenly got really cold so I collapsed yesterday after watching Nana Clips 5 (okay, twice).. and after all those exercise (walking 30 mins carrying loads? lol). Glad these are light compared to these rocks.. and certainly not as many.

I tried scanning the stuff but sadly my scanner is messing with me again. >_> Promise I’ll retry once I (finally) set-up my new PC and throw this shitty laptop away… so until then enjoy the crappy shots!

First, let’s congratulate its Oricon rank #3 for DVD Music Daily!

Only losing to the usual boyband-crazed fangirls, this time for BIG BANG (#1 and #2 .. why the hell they sold concert and making separately anyway), but winning from idol group Hello! Project (#4). The good news is that it’s awesome considering Top 10 are mostly concerts, and Nana’s is “just” a PV collection, tho with Ooini Utau event’s full footage.

Aaaaand, the promised stack. =) Way less impressive than IMPACT EXCITER’s tower… couldn’t even beat a deskmat! Though each cost a lot more than IE. ^^;

This time round’s winner is Animate.

2 clear posters (same material as clear files, not crappy paper for once!!), B3-size is kinda small but at least they won’t get hurt easily. Oh and lickable. Nanaperopero~~~ *runs*

However, Gamers seems to be fan-favorite (if you didn’t notice it in the 1st picture, I picked up 5 copies).

Being the only store who offers full glory B2-sized poster.. tho crappy paper as I’ve said above. xD Bromide holder is beautiful though it’s definitely too thin. Bromide shot is… I don’t think it needs explanation.

My runner-up tokuten is WonderGOO.

Beautiful, thick, solid A3-sized deskmat.. could have been much better if they switched the image and get rid of that flowery dress for good.

Others.

Tora no Ana card and bromide are mine. Tower Records postcard belongs to a friend. Very similar shot so would be dumb(er?) if I own both lol. Tower shot is yummyyyy!! Tora’s kinda too excited..ish but I like their idea of a collection card. There’s a unique number printed behind (mine is 10xx) and Nana has nice smile and fake boobs in the picture. *runs*

Insides.

How much does a sticker or two cost, really? Those DVDs are ugly!
I’ve few things to say about Nana Clips 5 content (mostly gasping noises (*´Д`)ﾊｧﾊｧ).. but gunna be over busy this weekend with Yukari-hime’s Tokyo final live and Nanonano invasion… so just maybe a review lol.

Hope you enjoyed Nana Clips 5 as much as I did.

Support our Nana by buying it too! CDJapan ran out of first-press, but I’m pretty sure Amazon or HMV still have plenty… and they’ve discount too!

8th album release from Tamura Yukari, titled Citron no Ame.
Bought when it hits the stores on Sept 7. Funny note that on its actual release date, Sept 8 marks the first time Japan got some rain again after a whole month of hot hell.. tho it’s not raining oranges for sure.

Only bought one for now, considering to get another but not sure which store. :-/ That’s tapestry from Tora no Ana which I like the most.. Same size as Nana’s Impact Exciter tapestry so they can be raburabu together ♥

Tamura Yukari x Gamers haz shopper bag (any purchase) and a free magazine. Gamers is the only shop with poster, but I don’t really fancy the shot. :-/ Leaning to Animate’s deskpad for an extra.

Promotions.

First is the real reason I bothered to go to Akiba, the ads trailer! Unlike Nana’s truck that kept going around, Yukarin’s truck was parked in the heart of Akiba for a long time.. only moving places every 30 mins or so.

Enough time to cross the street and take the other side’s shot.

Front and back pic. It’s really too bad the truck is white (probably reusing Nana’s).. pink would be awesome!

Left side has 2 shots.

Gamers set up an outside booth specially to sell Citron no Ame. Had to wait there for a while before I could get this shot.. people kept coming by to buy the CD. ^^;

Left is inside display, lol LOVE ME NOW pompoms.
Right is the elevator.. trying to dismiss weird jokes now lol.

Tora no Ana has the citron feel!

CD Review.
My relationship with Yukarin’s songs is a bit weird. There are songs I really really dig, and those I really don’t care about. ^^; Usually I prefer Yukarin’s songs to be crazy, energetic, lively with exciting beats and all. Some slower songs are pretty good, but the normal pop ones are meh. :-/

I like Citron no Ame much more than Komorebi no Rosette, which I merely bought for its awesome DVD.

Existing songs are all great: You & Me, Oshiete A to Z, My Wish My Love, and Tiny Rainbow, no complaints on those. For new songs.. Heavenly Stars is a fun start. Leading song LOVE ME NOW is easily lovable too, tho I’m more addicted to Love Love Baby Happy Star.. xD looking forward to these live!

Some songs have funny beats (Kamisama Rescue Me!!, Goody & Happy, Suna Ochiru Mizu no Kyuuden) or just meh (Shinseiro, Koi ni Ochita Painter). Good thing that slower songs get better too. Pretty surprised with Love Sick, it’s so.. umm “normal”, considering how crazy Yukarin/motsu duet were in You & Me. ^^; Well less rap to memorize xD

DVD Review.

Clocking at merely 40 minutes, need moarrr Yukarin.

PV & Making
The making is the BEST part of this DVD.. *loops again*

You & Me

Yukarin feat. motsu!!

BIG BANG!! damn I need to really memorize the rap part to do this properly next month..

Go go go go! ヾ(*´∀`*)ﾉ Fave part of this PV.

Yukari cup!! motsu finished his part earlier so I guess Yukarin was kinda bored?

Pull pull pull pull (and the staffs had to clean up the mess after)

BIG BANG!! Yukarin’s attempt to do motsu’s rap. :3

….trying to bite her staff? Where should I apply to work with Yukarin?

Posing with donuts. The staff burst into laughters right after taking the shot. ^^;;;

Shadow doggy~ (if it’s Yukarin then chihuahua? xD)

“This is the PV I had the most workouts.. orz” rofl.

My Wish My Love

PV has totally different feeling with the massive dress and sephia-toned forest..

Feels a bit weird seeing a sweet, loving Yukarin. I prefer her naughty look. xD

Massive hime-sama clothings need 3 assistants just to walk..

Cold weather = warming each other.. /wants.

According to Yukarin: “The warning says, if a thunder hits, snow will fall, this will go BANG!!” ^^;;;

Oshiete A to Z

Fave PV everrr~~ Yukarin changed clothes like 5-6 times lol.

Spraying water to camera, so Yukarin.

Can I have one of this too in my kitchen?

It’s like taking care of a kid.. messy eating, foods dropping, “It dropped!! I wanted to eat thaaat~~” ^^;;

No idea what this dance was for, but well ┌|≧∇≦|┘

Kid’s being curious?

That’s the maximum Yukarin can go…. ^^;

LOVE ME NOW

Recorded during the latest Fanclub Event in May this year, ala Nana’s Miracle Flight. All Kingdom citizens got a pompom and danced together!! Wish I were there.

Yukarin playing with a camera that kept following her every movement.

lmao sew naughty~ the poor dancer didn’t see it coming!

Oshiri punchhh~~ nice panty flash, himesama! :3

Paris de Yukarin
Footage during Yukarin’s visit to France to promote Nanoha movie couple of months ago.

Yukarin dancing with random French oji-san.

Yukarin… Eiffel Tower… Glad this has nothing to do with the autograph event. xD

Confusing Mailot (station name) and Metro (subway). ^^;

So are all French people THAT tall?

“Is there any flea market around here?”
No idea if her French was correct or not lol.

Merooooo~~~n!! to the melon seller. Yukari Kingdom expanding!

“Help!!” …..?? ^^;

The DVD itself is enough reson to buy the album. For the first time CDJapan offered a pretty nice tokuten even to international buyers.. it’s running low so secure your copy nau~! ／(・ x ・)＼
