10th Generation First Photosets

If you'd like to pick up 10th generation's very first Morning Musume photosets, then you should head on over to HSU.  I think they're really nice and since it's their very first goods, I think it's somewhat special.

Ai no Dangan GETS + Contest Winner

First off I wanted to start by saying that by default, the new winner of the contest; by sheer luck, would happen to be BleachGal101.  Congratulations!  I could tell how badly you wanted the item, and even by random selection, you still won! Please e-mail me at HelloRaffi@gmail.com with shipping info, and i'll get your Maasa card shipped asap!

On another note, I finally received my package from HSU with my Ai no Dangan goods.  It's not a whole lot, but it's a couple of things that I love.  Here's what the contents of my package were:

Risako 2L photoset

Maasa 2L photoset (sorry, this ones mine!)

And the catch of the day: Ai no Dangan shirt

front                                                         back

I loved the look of the photosets and especially the shirt, so I had to buy it.  Besides, Ai no Dangan was a great single.  If you like goods like these, please visit HelloStoreUSA via the link on the right side of this page!

Le Sadz

So I got an e-mail today from HSU that was rather unpleasant.  It seems that a lot of H!P goods got damaged on the way over from Japan.

I give you Exhibit A:

I am le sadz! I guess there is nothing I can do but wait.  I was talking to some other people who said that more goods got damaged, for example the ONLY YOU t-shirts.  I don't see how badly a t-shirt could possibly be damaged, unless a bear got to it or something.  I assume the photosets that it came with got messed up.  Oh well.  It's a rather sad thought to think of a whole box of damaged H!P goods. ;____;

Uchiwas and Pinups oh My!

Hello once again.  Sorry for being such a lag with posting new things, i've just been rather busy with a bunch of stuff.  I'll try not to lag so much when it comes to posting (for those of you out there who enjoy reading this blog)!

Let me start off by telling you that I have become somewhat addicted to buying uchiwas and pin-up posters.  I've decided to buy every Aika uchiwa from spring/fall concerts, and get graduation uchiwas.

That leaves me with a grand total of x3Aika, x1Junjun, x1Linlin!

Since I had 1 Aika Fantasy DX pinup, I looked for some more DX ones.  I found a Risa and Zukki one on eBay for cheap, and had to pick them up to add to my collection.  After that I bought this cool little black book that perfectly fits pinup sized posters.  It's rather cool, and the only thing I found that was the perfect size!

This is how it looks inside the portfolio: professional eh? lol

Of course, Aika on the first page!

Risako in Towel Form

Huhuhuhu, Chris isn't the only cool one with a Berryz towel.

NOW WE'RE BROTHER LADIES.

Now it's mah turn to show you all the power of Risako:

Risako see'z u.

Risako sez Hai.

HAI RISAKO. I LUB U.

For those of you wondering, this towel is 15.5"x34.75" inches, and 40'x88' centimeters (WxL).  Also, people always ask: "What do you do with a towel?"  It's not like the thick towels that you dry your hands with.  It's very very thin, and it's the same material you'd clean your eyeglasses with.  I wouldn't suggest getting this wet!

It's just as good as a poster!  I might hang her next to Aichan!

And oh, there's more to come.  I never stop buying.

Small Packet

So today I got a little surprise in the mail.  It was a couple of photo's that I ordered off of ebay.  I didn't really know when I would get them, so I was happy to know that they came today.

Anyways, short post, just showing you what I got:

(pure awesome)

A Good Day for Pictures

You crazy kids who read my blog posts may know already that I made a decent purchase at HelloStoreUSA on Black Friday.  Well, my order arrived in the mail today!  Shipping time was pretty quick, seeing as I ordered Friday morning (11/26), and they arrived this afternoon (12/1).  I was very excited to see all the pictures I bought.  I was kinda startled when I opened the package, because the first face I saw was Momoko, and I thought that they sent me the wrong pictures lol!

Each photoset was individually wrapped for protection, and taped shut.  Holy crap did that get annoying to undo.  I actually stopped half way because it bothered me that much.  Even though, I couldn't stay away for long.

I know some of you have been dying to see what I got, so without further ado, I present you the pictures:

1. Aika 2L Nanchatte Renai set: (best picset ever)

2. Linlin 2L Nanchatte Renai set: (second best picset ever)

3. Nakky 2L SHOCK! set: (one of my favorite Nakky sets)

4. Linlin 2L 9Smile set: (my second choice, but never the less awesome)

5. Risa 2L 9Smile set: (Gaki with her beautiful long hair)

6. We Are Buono L Metallic set: (so shiny and amazing!)

7. H!P Mobekimasu C-ute L set: (Nakky looks fantastic)

8. H!P Mobekimasu Berryz Kobo L set: (Risako looks great.  I love the blue)

9. H!P Mobekimasu S/mileage Metallic L set: (I just wanted more shiny pictures)

10. H!P Mobekimasu ZYX-a L set: (honestly didn't even know who was in ZYX-a till I opened my pictures)

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:
