First H!P shipment in!
I have gone an H!P ordering spree (more like Berryz Koubou/related spree) on yesasia and CDJapan. My first order, (which arrived yesterday!!!) was for Buono!’s “Honto no Jibun” and Berryz 4th album.

I was able to get a first press limited edition of “Honto no Jibun” with the DVD. Yay for the first press trading card! I just love the energy of this song. And it doesn’t hurt that it features Miyabi and Suzuki Airi from C-ute. I was a huge fan of the subgroup Aa! (though Miyabi definitely did not get enough lines). Airi was such a baby in that PV, when I saw her more recently (’cause I didn’t really follow much of C-ute until their newest PV) I simply could not believe that she had grown so much. She was so short back in the Aa! days.
And I enjoy the dance of this song. I’m very glad that the DVD has the dance shot version on it. I have learned the dance for the song. It’s quite enjoyable to do. ^_^


I absolutely love Berryz’s 4th album. I liked all 4 of the singles released from this album (particularly “VERY BEAUTY” and “Kokuhaku no Funsui Hiroba”… Which many people seem to not have enjoyed due to their more ballad-like feel). For the album songs, I really enjoyed “Sayonara Hageshiki Koi”. It’s a good high energy, intense song… And I just saw that it means “Goodbye Intense Love”, so it’s good that it’s an intense song.
This was also the limited edition with DVD, but not first press (no trading card).

Am waiting on the “Kokuhaku no Funsui no Hiroba” single from CDJapan, and then a shipment with Berryz new single “Tsukiatteru no ni Kataomoi” first press limited edition with DVD, “VERY BEAUTY” with limited edition photobook, and C-ute’s “Tokkaiko Junjo (Don’t stop Junjo)” regulard edition from yesasia.
