[Review] Kuroko no Basuke Anibasu vol. 3

Hi! Nagisa again!
I received a parcel from CDJapan three weeks ago and haven't posted a review yet.

Here's what I got: Kuroko No Basuke ANIBASU VOL. 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought it because, first, it's Kuroko no Basuke, second, I wanted something official from that anime and third, because it contains info about Akashi and Murasakibara!!!!!!

All right, the parcel as usual is nicely taken care of by Canada Post.

CDJapan's packaging is perfect. It took about 2 weeks to get it. I used SAL unregistered.

I removed the green paper and the bubble wrap here.
The receipt is behind the item. And you have the book!
It was written 260g on the website for this product, but it's very misleading because 260g is total of the parcel's weight. Not the item only. So I was quite surprised that the book is very thin. It's about 4mm thick. (54 pages)
But the quality is exceptional. The cover is glossed and rigid, the book is wrapped with a plastic sheet. The pages are really good quality too. And guess what?
...

IT INCLUDES STICKERS!!!!!!!!!!! AOMINE, AKASHI, MURASAKIBARA AND EVERYONE! STICKERSSSSS!!!!!!!!! And again, VERY HIGH QUALITY STICKERS! It's glossed, thick and and and...just high quality. Here's my thumb. 8D

AND BEHIND THE STICKERS?
A PIN-UP!!!!!!! OMG, TEIKOU DAYS, SHOUTA DAYS.
VALENTINE'S DAY!
HUHUHUHUH, THEY ARE SO ADORKABLE.

Yep, so this is what was included in the Anibasu vol. 3:
A mini Weekly Shonen Jump booklet featuring anime news (Gintama!!) with Kuroko on the cover :3,
the white sheet (I don't know the purpose of it unfortunately. Probably a receipt), the obi of Anibasu vol. 3 and the main book.

 Summary of Anibasu vol. 3:
It's fully coloured with many pictures at the beginning.
Then there's the character data starting with Aomine Daiki and the photo selection (basically a section where you can see a lot of Aomine). Then there's Momoi Satsuki's character data, Imayoshi Shouichi and Sakurai Ryou's too. Wakamatsu Kousuke, Yoshinori Susa and the coach too! Well, basically Touo's key characters. 

THEN, THEN THEN THEN, MURASAKIBARA ATSUSHI AND AKASHI SEIJUUROU'S CHARACTER DATA. HEHEHEHEHEHE. XD 

All right, after is Seihou High. Tsugawa Tomoki ('Baldy' nickname by Hyuuga), Iwamura and Kasuga's character data.
Then Shinkyou High's characters data: Papa and Tanimura.
Last is Aida Kagetora's (Riko's dad) character data. 

Next section is, I think, rankings. This time is Touo High's characters ranking. First is obviously Aomine, second is Sakurai and third is Wakamatsu. I'm surprised Imayoshi didn't make it. I think he's a really interesting character. STAHP,IMAYOSHIxHANAMIYA. lululululululu.

After is a page about the Kiseki no Sedai with a few pictures of Teikou days.

Next section is...again, some minor info about Momoi and Aomine when they were young. (SOCUTE,ILOVETHEMSOMUCH)

Next is an interview featuring Momoi's voice actor (Orikasa Fumiko) and Riko's (Saitou Chiwa). About 6 pages long.

Next section features sketches of buildings and characters, height comparison of Touo players AND A PAGE OF KISEKI NO SEDAI HEIGHT COMPARISON. KUROKO, SO SHORT. XDDDDDD It's weird seeing Murasakibara straightening his back. We always see him hunched back. XD

OhOH, QUIZ PART! My knowledge of Japanese is a limited so unfortunately, I can't post the questions.  

FINAL SECTION! Kuroko no Basuke merchandise page and OLDCODEX band's page advertising their single. (Tatsuhisa Suzuki's Catal Rhythm!!!!!! <3 <3 So much energy!!!!)

The book is 500yen with tax included, but with international shipping fee, it costed a total of ~12$USD.

It's a bit expensive, but worth it for any Kurobasu fan like me!

[Review] N - nano album

Hi! Nagisa here!
I FINALLY RECEIVED NANO'S SECOND ALBUM!!!!!!! :D :D :D
I'm a super big fan of her. It's a pity I couldn't attend her first live concert 'Remember your Color' in Japan.
Why do I live so farrrrr?! (;A;) I'm crossing my fingers for a concert in Canada.
All right, here's the package I got from CDJapan. I bought the Limited edition NA version.

 Like always, CDJapan's packaging is perfect.
The box is rigid and it's never squashed.
I used SAL without the registration option. For a CD, it's about 500yen and for heavier CDs, 700yen.
Got the parcel in about 2-3 weeks.

 They pack everything with care. The green paper acts like bubble wrap.

INSIDE THE GREEN PAPER, BUBBLE WRAP FOR THE CD!!! 

The album has a carton sleeve, quite rigid and really nice. ;D

 Inside the CD box. The CD tracklist, the lyrics booklet (BEAUTIFUL!!!), the nBook which is the photo booklet produced by nano included in the NA version. 

Inside the lyrics booklet. It's the piece sign pictures!!! I FORGOT TO SEND MINE (;A;)!!!!!

 Inside the nBook, nano's cat! We can see nano's thumb. ;D And my hand, lol. sdfjdkla'fds she has beautiful fingers. (;A;) 

Last page of the nBook, "Love nano". (;u;) I LOVE YOU TOO NANO!!!!!!!

hehehehehehe, <3. 

My so-far collection of nano's CD.
I'm still missing the other No Pain, No Game version (Btooom!!),
Rockman X Holic ~25th anniversary~ (I'M A BIG FAN OF MEGAMAN X!!, but since there was only one track of nano and it costed ~30$, I didn't buy it. :l At least my friend has it. ;D)
I'm also missing BuzzG's CD featuring nano singing Nishi e iku (BEAUTIFUL SONG!!!!!!!!).
When I go to Japan in two years, I swear, I'm going to buy all the CDs I'm missing of nano. And all the merchandise, lolol.

 Finally, if you're a fan of nano, I suggest you to buy nanoir and N albums. It's going to cost approx. 60$ for both on CDJapan, but it's really worth it if you want to support her. 

 All her songs are sung with passion and emotion, it's SPLENDID! I listen to her songs while studying, reading, doing homework, washing dishes, sleeping.

>Obsession to the next level, LOL. 

Naw, I seriously admire nano. :3
