Ah... you always remember your first...

Mine was the 2009 AX one.

Now I have 20.

Here is the front and back of the CD (Sorry for the bad quality)
I think there is a book inside or maybe it is the card for the handshake event, I couldn't make it to that! I might open it soon and scan it for you later and the booklet too if it is interesting.
The T-shirt is the same as the ones they wore on stage.

^ Thanks! I'm always interested in seeing what these limited edition things look like. I hope we get something of the sort for MM。'14 in NYC.

I see that the title of track 16 has been romanized as "Piriri to Ikou!" 行こう can be pronounced as either yukou or ikou, but of course ikou is not what they sing in the song. It's like Melon Kinenbi's さあ、早速盛り上げて 行こか～!!, which is almost always romanized on the web as either "Saa, Sassoku Moriagete Iko ka~!!" or (even less accurately) "Saa, Sassoku Moriagete Ikou ka~!!"), even though they're actually singing yuko.

i chalk stuff like that up to how Japanese systems sometimes romanize ち as "ti" and し as "si", etc... they're thinking more about semantics, and less about ease of reading/less confusion of pronunciation.

on a side note, usually UF/H!P is big on romanizing おう as just "o" (the norm in Japan), which they didn't do here (Tokaikko Junjou, etc). either someone else was in charge of writing these out, or they noticed that western fans tend to use "ou" online and followed suit.

also I NEVER NOTICED BEFORE!! "special" is just スペシャル (supesharu), but the Berryz song is スッペシャル (suppesharu), hence the weird romanization on the CD. now i'm conflicted... how should we romanize it on Hello! Base?! things like this keep me up at night....

My Goochtacular FromJapan/Yafuoku package arrived today!

UP to BOY from January 2004, complete with clear file. Not only does it have a cover feature on the Gooch, it also contains features on Kago Ai, Country Musume。ni Konno to Fujimoto, and Melon Kinenbi, an interview with Gotō Maki, and the usual Morning Musume。news.



The full Sentou no Musume!? series on DVD, for a winning bid of only ¥3399.



A vintage Yaguchi t-shirt, size XL. Life is good.

I picked up a package from HMV at the post office this morning:

And does Kikkawa Yuu count as H!P still for this purpose? Because I bought her Urahara Temptation / Iijan Regular Edition too...

I plan on buying the Blu-ray of MM's spring concert tour when I order their upcoming single. This is kind of fun though... I definitely felt like I was liking C-ute more and more since last spring, and I guess my purchases sort of reflect that . They sort of become a very very close second to MM in my H!P faves.

I have no issues with posting stuff by OGs and "H!P-adjacent" artists here. See my last post: not a current H!P member in the bunch!
