Happy Birthday Mizuki Nana!

A little bit early, but I can only go online before 10 Tokyo time, so here it is..

..nana Shin Ai as Nana’s birthday present~ <3

Pardon the lame gimp edit, I’d do better if I have Photoshop :p

Btw, I believe this is better than sending some real present to Sigma 7 or Fan Club, which I doubt will get to her anyway. ^^;


Bonuses from Tsutaya, Animate, 2x Asobit, Sofmap, Tora no Ana, and Gamers

Deal with this pic for now ^^; remember raw photos make the best scans. :3 And if you’re wondering why there are two Asobit bonus, it’s because one of them is for a friend. I’m getting another copy in Budokan later, so my total is still 7. ;)


Tora no Ana front display

This is my first experience buying a Nana item on its release date in Japan.. and I must say wow. All stores in Akiba put Shin Ai in front display (even if the CD section is in another floor), with huge TV looping Shin Ai PV or White Album, or just the song for smaller stores.. surely can convince you to buy at least one.. or seven. ^^;

Too bad Nana didn’t get her own display in Tsutaya (Shibuya). I forgot to check if TVXQ got better promotions or not, but let’s believe in the power of Akiba-kei. I swear I saw the same guys bought extra copies too.. here’s crossing fingers Nana can outsell the boyband and finally break the Oricon #2 curse!

Songs Review
1. Shin Ai
2. PRIDE OF GLORY
3. Gozen Reiji no Baby Doll – sounds like Nana’s older songs for PC games, or something that Yukarin would sing.. but it’s cute.

So yeah, wishing Nana the best luck this year!

    7 COPIES of Shin Ai????!!!! My goodness that’s overkill. But here’s hoping for Nana’s first number 1 on the Oricon charts.

    first IMG…NICE ãƒã‚¿…bbbbbbb

  3. Benson Benson says:

    Pride of Glory HAS to be my favorite song on the album by far. Shin Ai is similar to Heart-shaped chant, but I don’t think it has the same epic force that Heart-shaped chant has.

    very nice.

    happy birthday Nana-chan!

  7. kiseki gurl kiseki gurl says:

    Haha my copy is still sitting in Tokyo right now :) .

    How much is Nana being promoted OUTSIDE of Akiba though? Like for CMs, radio stations, on the streets, and etc.? I’ve always wondered about that.

    wow I’m impressed with the number of copies you bought XD

    Yea, I hope Nana outsells “the boy band”, but almost all of my friends are ecstatic over TVXQ/DBSK’s single. Eh… =_=

    @Guest: No, if I bought 29 copies, that would be overkill. 7 is just alright. :P

    @paranda: Haha good point, surely she already has a seat reserved in the 17-sai club, heh? And my tickets are great. :)

    @kiseki gurl: Well I didn’t check HMV in Shibuya, but Tsutaya only placed Shin Ai together with “anime new releases” (May’n, ELISA, etc), while some artists got their own display booth. :( She’s getting a spot on NHK music program on Feb 21, so I guess that’s a good sign. A lot of TV CM if you see the list in NANAPARTY, but the broadcast time is not very convenient..

    @OtaAgg: Then don’t lose to them, get moar Shin Ai XD

  11. Makino Makino says:

    I really like the 2 photo bonuses at the bottom row.. how I wish I can buy the single in Japan for those nice bonuses… I really envy you danie to be able to go to her concert and to buy and see so much awesome stuff.. I really need to start saving up XD
