Another HSU Package

I got another package from HelloStoreUSA today!  I think it's been a short while since I've bought anything form there.   I think the last thing was my Fantasy DX t-shirt.  Anyways, today's haul was a bunch of different photosets from various things like Fantasy DX, Chou Wonderful, C-ute/Smileage Collab, Dream Morning Musume, and Maji Desu Ka Ska.  Lets have a look!

Well first off, this is what I excitedly took out of the packaging:  My desk was an H!P mess~

First we have a lovely L-sized Fantasy DX photoset: First kyuukie merch woo!

Second is my favorite: Metallic C-ute Chou Wonderful L-sized set

Next up is some Aika goodness.  I couldn't pass these up:

After that we got a nice 2L Nakky set from the C-ute/Smileage collab concert!

And lastly my Dream Morning Musume 2L Yaguchi set!! <3

The fun thing about HelloStoreUSA's 'special order' is that by the time they receive the goods from Japan and ship them to me, i've basically forgotten what i've purchased, so it's a surprise every time!

More Awesomeness

So, finally, after like two months, the photosets that I ordered shipped to me.  I was happy to receive them.

Kinda funny though, that when I ordered them, I was so hyped up about Onna to Otoko no Lullaby Game and Fantasy!Jyuichi that I went crazy over the photos.  Now, two months later, they're still as awesome as ever, but it's no surprise that I wasn't as excited as I began.

Nevertheless, still awesome pictures!!  I don't regret buying them, that's a fact.

Of course, had to buy a bunch of Aika goodness:

 Of course some Linlin goodness:

Junjun and Eri looked so good...and it was their last single, so I was compelled:

 Then the L set with everyone looking awesome:

Oh yeah, and some Shining Power awesomenss to balance out the Momusu

 Jealous?

Gahhhhh

What kind of post would you expect when I just title it "Gahhhhh?"

Well, that 'Gahhhhh' refers to both some good and bad things.

THE GOOD:

Just listened to the full version for the first time, and I must say that it was pretty awesome.  I think i'll like it even more once I listen to it in the morning.  They really pulled it off.  Oh, and, Kumai's last line was so awesome it gave me chills.  Nuff said.

THE BAD:

 Takahashi Ai cut her beautiful hair off.  I'm so mad at her for this.  How could she do this to me?

Her shirt is so ironic, do you think she wore it on purpose?  NO SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL.

THE WORSE:

I've had a thick package (teehee) from HelloStoreUSA sitting on my desk for two days now and haven't opened it yet.  I don't even remember what goodies I ordered to be honest.  I'll examine and take pictures tomorrow.

OH YEAH.  Notice anything different about the page?  Is it too beige for you?  Well deal.

A Better Day for Pictures

Hey!  Look what I found in the mail!  More Morning Musume awesomeness!  So I ordered some Rival Survival pin-up's online, and they finally came to my house.  Lemme just tell you, they're awesome.  The girls all look fantastic and fierce.  Berryz Kobo and C-ute definitely need to have some photo shoots like these.  If they do, I'd be their number 1 buyer.

Anyways, pin-up's as you may know are quite larger then regular photo's, since, I guess you are supposed to pin them up to your walls lol.  Ever since Rival Surivival, this is the first that I am hearing of these pin-ups.  I know now that they have been selling them at concerts for a while now.  Not too sure if pin-up's are sold at Berryz or C-ute concerts?

Whatever.  Well, here are more pictures for y'all:

- Gaki / Reina pin-ups:

- Eri / Sayumi pin-ups:

- Ai / Junjun pin-ups:

- Aika's pin-up with comparison:

- Linlin's pin-up with more photo comparison:

I think Junjun's is my favorite, with Gaki's coming in a close second.  They just look fantastic in them.  Love it.

HSU Black Friday Sale

So last night, starting at 6AM, HelloStoreUSA had a Black Friday sale!  They didn't say exactly what they were going to have, they just mentioned that they would have "GREAT DEALS on brand-new Hello! Project towels, photo sets, and accessories." and "Sale items are marked down over 50% -- some as low as $1.00!"  With that in mind, how could I resist?

It made me really curious as to what they would have for sale, and when they say "brand-new," I was really hoping that some Rival Survival photosets would be discounted.  No luck there.

Being as ridiculous as I am, I stayed up until 6AM, doing who knows what, wondering what I could get my hands on.  When the clock finally hit 6, the sale began.  I wondered; "should I stay up till 6AM, or just wait till morning? Because hey, nobody's gonna start buying at the crack of dawn right?"  Wrong.  People were going at it like rabid monkeys.  What kept messing with my head was that whenever I added something to my cart, someone else got to the finish line before me, so the item was removed from my cart.  This happened like 5 times, which bothered me a lot.  I would have been home with 3 more Linlin photosets and 2 microfiber towels if I was faster.

Anyways, I am mostly happy with all the photosets that I got, because everything was about 70% off.  Each $8 photoset was $3, and so were the metallic ones.  I really didn't have time to think twice, cause every few seconds, something that I wanted was taken already.  Cool ne?

Here's what I ninja'd away with:
