Hi~
This is my first post talking about my LDH/EXILE stuff, right? I’ll try my best to make this as short as possible XP I’m super excited~
Warning: many photos!
I received two parcels at once! They were supposed to arrive two days ago but the post office is having problems these days :( I almost gave up on them until I received a call from the post office employee. He said I only got one parcel but to my surprised, I got them both~
I’ll start by…
EXILE/ EXILE ATSUSHI – Anata e/ Ooo Baby
Promised to be on the same level as EXILE BALLAD BEST songs, EXILE released their winter ballad [Anata e] together with ATSUSHI’s second solo song [Ooo Baby]. This release is limited edition so I thought I’d grab both CD-only and CD+DVD versions.
Then they said that the ones ordered from EXmobile (EXILE mobile subscription service) and EXFamily (EXILE fanclub) will come with a group postcard and a member post card (which you get to choose unlike other releases where it’s random.) So I decided to throw in more yens and get myself postcards from ATSUSHI and TAKAHIRO. They came in this nice Christmas-y red envelopes as seen above.
Even though I don’t know what the two messages say (I’ll probably let one of my friends translate them for me later) it’s still nice to get postcards from your favorite group’s main vocalists. As for the songs themselves, [Anata e] is certainly a great ballad. Here’s a live performance of it:
I don’t think the PV for [Ooo Baby] did it justice. It stopped in the middle and kind of ruined the whole mood for me. Of course, shots of hot, almost shirtless ATSUSHI made up for it~ Here’s a short version of it:
The whole song is nice but kind of short. You can’t go wrong with ATSUSHI. The guy can sing anything and it turns into your next favorite song ♥
Both versions came with EXILE for JAPAN stickers. Seriously guys, you keep putting these stickers in every release I think I now have about 6 or 7 of them! Although I think these are bigger. It’s not like I mind; it’s promoting EXILE for Japan project to help people after the Tohoku earthquake. It’s just that I wish they printed the one I keep seeing on trucks and on walls in different cities of Japan, same photoshoot but the guys are in single line.
That sums it up about the single~
EXILE Live Tour 2011 TOWER OF WISH ATSUSHI’s produced Healing Music CD
ATSUSHI composed three tracks of “healing music” in this CD called [Compassion]. Upon listening to the first track I couldn’t stop comparing it to the acoustic guitar version of Motto Tsuyoku which is perfect in my opinion. I LOVE Motto Tsuyoku. The second track is nice too. I feel like it’s similar to another EXILE song but I can’t figure which one XP and for that matter the third track too XD Bro says the music is kinda “generic” I don’t know what that means :/ I think he’s just angry I spent 1500yen on a three-track CD but who cares about his opinion, right? LOL. Booklet includes different shots of hot ATSUSHI in 2-3 pages:
AND there’s a message too! Totally worth it in my opinion:
EXILE Live Tour 2011 TOWER OF WISH AKIRA’s produced EXBear set
Aren’t those adorable? I don’t know if Japanese people like their cellphone accessories big but I always get big ones from there. Those cuties are no exception. The red one is called Love while the blue one is Dream. Wonder why they didn’t make a third and named it Happiness. It would’ve been great. I like how you can put the hat on them even though it looks kind of weird, and there’s another strap place on top of the hat too:
See? Looks a little weird but it’s still cute. There’s also a card with a message from AKIRA:
Overall, those are nice and they’re a good alternative from the 24karats bear which is super cute but expensive and exclusive to real shops so I couldn’t get it online >.<
EXILE Live Tour 2011 TOWER OF WISH TAKAHIRO’s produced lip balm set
Ever since he got his beauty makeover segment in EXILE Tamashii, TAKAHIRO has been releasing beauty products… okay maybe just one but it was big (a full set of brushes + case.) This set was actually cheaper (1800yen) but it was expected as the brush set was part of EXILE iD line which is expensive (8000yen or something.) Anyway, this one is 3 lip balms sticks and one lip balm jar. The sticks are Love (Rose,) Dream (Unscented,) and Happiness (Fruits.) Love was the best smell out of all. The smell is not that strong actually. The honey jar smells like artificial honey and I didn’t think it was actually honey until I read it. I tried Love and it has a powdery texture. I’m afraid I didn’t like it that much. It’s weird though. I mean, I tried a lot of Korean beauty products and they were cheap and made of good quality so why can’t this one? The price was cheap enough for me to get it but in the end I didn’t like it like I thought I would. I tried but the only thing I found nice was the case itself since it has TAKAHIRO’s logo and the fact that I didn’t plan on using the lip balms in the first place XP I can certainly make my own lip balms in those cute sticks too~ So it’s not that bad actually ^0^
That is all. I’ll be writing about the calendar in another post. Hope you like this one~
