Some tidbits from "和楽"

[alieu]

So, I just got my copy of 和楽 in the mail yesterday and squeed over it ridiculously. *coughs* If you've kept up with his blog (does his latest entry say he's switching blogs at the start of May?) and seen all the pictures he's been posting of himself in Asakusa and with the puppy and such (not the ones from the period show XD), those are actually

man i was so close to buying that yesterday but i bought arakis instead (maybe because i dont have much money to spend. or i would have bought ALL of them)

so is this hardbound? like kengo's? kengo went to a temple as well. that shot reminds me of that book.

man now me wants.

Ergh, I know what you mean... I got Souta's because I didn't know anyone else who was going to get it, and also because it was both Photobook and DVD unlike the Prince sets where they're seperate.... I'm scrounging for money now so that I can afford the Araki and Zukki photobooks to go with my DVD preorders. X3

Boys, boys! Have pity on our empty wallets! XD

Ah, sadly no, it's not hardbound. I'm not a big fan of Kengo so I didn't get his, but they might have gone to the same one? A huge chunk of Souta's PB was shot in Asakusa as far as I can tell (which kills me because when I was in Japan I was staying in Asakusa), but there are so many temples in Japan, it's not too surprising that Kengo visited a temple as well. ^^ It's a pretty popular thing to do, I guess?

[tsumasaki]

oh thank GOD its not hardback. it was SO HARD to scan that thing!

yeah thats another reason why i wanted souta's... it comes with the dvd, like kengo's.

they're breaking our wallets. IF THEY ONLY KNEW!!!!

hm well the secenery is beautiful both times so i can understand why! did you buy it directly from wherever it was selling it? i found a site in english that is selling them and thats where i was tempted. hopefully if i get a better job i'll get zukki's, seto's, seto's and nagayan's.
SO MANY

XD Oh god, I can imagine!

I bought it through this site, and it wiped out my bank account until next month. >_<;; Shipping to the US was ridiculous since they only do EMS. The PB + shipping cost me around $58 USD. Oh, Souta, you're lucky I like you so much. *sighs* If only I could just hop over to Japan whenever I wanted to buy something, and avoid the horrible markup of stores in the US and the expensive shipping of online stores and AmazonJP. D:

Good Lord this looks so good! *_____*

The only trouble is I've never bought anything from that site so I'm not sure whether to trust it with my money! I'd be shipping to England, so it'd still be expensive! Do you have any idea if this is available in regular shops in Japan because I've got a friend out there and I'll also be going in September?

[alieu]

I had the same iffy feelings at first! It doesn't look particularly well-established from the website.... but if you go to their ebay profile you can see their rating and stuff, which is quite good!

I'm not too sure on the availability of it in stores, but I assume it shouldn't be too hard to find over there. If nothing else, you should be able to ask a bookstore to order it for you, or maybe even check out the actual store of that website. :D

[crazy_squirtle]

Oooh yeah, thanks for the advice! I'm determined to get my hands on a copy of that book somehow! He's just too darned cute and adorable not to spend money on!

[princess_momo]

Rip the DVD, please?

But yeah, Souta does kidna look like Adachi... Maybe Adachi got angry for being kicked outta D-boys and took revenge by kidnapping Souta and posing as him?

[alieu]

Will do, it should be up by the end of the week, so look forward to it! ^_^

Hahaha, maybe, maybe~ X3

#@q(%@(*&!

DUDE, gonna have to buy like first thing in the morning! >w<

thanks for the preview! =D

*hopes it's not too expensive*

[alieu]

Not at all! I hope you enjoy your copy when you get it! The photography is really, really nice, and Souta just reminds us once again that the man is a model. Guh. *_______*;;

[a_drawer_4ever]

;____; holycrap. Uhm, I hate to ask but I looked on amazon.jp and yesasia.com and couldn't find a thing, where did you get your copy?

Sorry to bother you, but I'm at a loss~

[alieu]

Not at all~ ^_^ It was hard for me to find, too. Check out my reply to a previous comment for details. :3 Hope it helps!
