Just got the package~ FedEx is really fast ne :D The packing by Amazon was great too. Even though my boss was around, I opened the package haha~ and my unofficial photographer snapped a few shots of it hehe~ The calendar’s packaging: it looks like a wedding album, black & white with a ribbon in it~~ And everything was neatly packed layer by layer. And that little planning schedule looks so tiny!
Then the calendar itself, OMG~ the black&white pics!! KAKKOIII!! My only complaint: Why can’t they print all the pics on the same quality paper as the T&T collection’s… which are of superb paper quality, just like the leaflet that I got during Kuricon. If only the solo collections were printed on such paper too…
Still, many thumbs up to photographer Muga Miyahara-san, who knows his/her stuff well. Those were really cool shots! I was drooling over that pic of Takki lying semi-hadaka on the boat kekekeke~ *nosebleeds*
I’ll probably add pics later~ ah, yes, can’t wait to get back tonight, to open and watch the R&J DVD too, especially the “Making of” :D
Edit:
I finished watching R&J’s Making of! Wow, didn’t expect to see “unseen footages” ne~ The Making of was nice, and although we’ve seen some scenes before, seeing it on DVD is so much better ^^ At least we got to see him eat, and play soccer haha! And he looks really gorgeous~~ 0 630, 630~~ o((^^)o
Ah, and I took more pics of the calendars! lol~ Took them out to admire again before putting them back into the box lol. (Warning: Some photos behind the cut)
These are my favourite pics from the T&T collection. Generally I like the toned-down colour, and the shots are mostly very cool. I like that black tie & sweater Takki in the bottom left pic (September), somehow it reminds me of a schoolboy lol… but for the rest of the pics that aren’t shown below, I don’t really like whatever Takki was wearing hahaha~
And finally, the black & white collection of Tono~~~ KAKKOII!!! ♥ And it seems like my favourite shots involve a boat!! The one where he’s pulling the boat with a hat reminds me of “The Notebook” lol~ I love that pic so much!!! And of course that semi-hadaka one (with legs wide open xD) on the boat too *sniggers* Also love the pic of him in his shirt-vest sitting down with the water as background (not in the pics here)… My colleague was also saying that the pic where he’s wrapped up looks like her idol Hyde. Hmm… Ah, and there was one pic which I thought looked like he was wearing a tablecloth hahahaha…
Maybe it’s just me and my monochrome fetish~ no prizes for guessing which is my favourite collection hehehehe~ Ahhhh… now I can’t wait for April to come, to put up this new calendar in my office! ^^
omedetto! my copy is on the way. i ordered mine from hmv. my second to order from them but it’s the first time that the item will be shipped to me so i dont have an idea about how fast they are.
did you think of getting a second copy? it crossed my mind to get another one..demo i still have to think about the DVD con that will be released this month. and i havent decide which to get first among the 3. i might one or two limited versions. *sigh*
katya~ yes, i’m getting my second copy, i’ve asked ribi to get one more for me. coz i’m definitely putting this one up in office. i think my entire year will be filled staring at black & white takki in various poses lol! ah, live dvds ka. if u’re gonna get all three in the end, why not just get it at the same time to save cost? i think HMV has a discount for 2 or 3 dvds? and it’s shipping is the cheapest too~ ^^ btw, i’ve received the omiyage! arigato~~ am waiting for my cough to recover first ^^; oishisou~~ :D
I’m so jealous!
Takki looks so cute! And I am so with you on the monochrome fetish!
Speaking of which, are there any english websites I can order these things from? I can’t read japanese at all =(
sara~ u can try cdjapan, hmv or amazon :)
CDjapan upped the price of shipping! they bumped it up to EMS and it was nearly 50USD! T_T something about the calendar being too heavy for regular air mail.
but thanks for the pictures michelle! i can’t wait to get mine! :D
Michelle ~ The links (cdjapan, hmv, amazon.jp) are a great help, but if only I could read japanese :( I couldn’t even guess what the menu items are LOL
shulie~ cdjapan is in english yo!
Michelle~
Pardon my stupidity LOL
I will now dig a hole and die from embarassment!
Thank you :)
shulie~ lol~ no need for that yo :) these sites can be quite confusing at first ne. cdjapan is a purely english site, but hmv & amazon has both japanese and english versions :)
ROFL your tablecloth comment kills me! XDD
naughtiest~ yea, and of all months, it had to be for NOVEMBER lol~
congratulation michelle…
I still haven’t got mine yet. T_T
Can’t wait!!!! ^ ^
