Some of the stuff that has been pilling up the past month. Gahh, I need to update more frequently >_<. I got my Alter Fate figure about a month back I think.

Box is HUGE as is all the Nanoha series figures from Alter.

Closer look on Fate. Will post up a review some time soon-ish ^^;

Another Alter figure. Fatina was on sale at Hobby Search and couldn't resist not getting 8D .

Must find time to take pictures.... xP

Ah.. and this. My package that arrived from CD Japan. The hole there in the parcel made my heart drop when it arrived.

Fortunately, nothing was damaged inside. CD Japan did a good job in packaging.

And this is what's inside. Mizuki Nana's Live Diamond x Fever Blu-ray! >) . And an album by Tainaka Sachi.

More posts on the stuff to come soon =)

Hmm a post on a music album. Haven't done a write up on the albums that I got sometime ago. The album in this post is Destiny by Tainaka Sachi. Its her third album releasesd to date.

Official release date for the album is 16th September 2009. I pre-ordered the album and CD Japan was really quick in sending it out. I got it after 2 days or so after the release date and its not even express (EMS) shipping. T'was regular airmail =D. Hats off to CD Japan for efficient shipping. They probably shipped it even before the release date 8D.

Front cover of the album. This is what you get for the regular edition version.

Back of regular edition album.

The back of the limited edition version which is a box/cover thing for the CD case.

First press edition comes with limited postcards. 2 to be exact.

And a post card featuring Saber from the Fate/stay Night series. This was probably included due to the fact that Tainaka Sachi is closely associated to the theme song performances for the Fate series.

CD.

And the DVD which comes in the Limited Edition. Therea are 6 PVs in there. Lazy to name them down. You can see the titles in the pic above ^^.

The DVD is a R2 DVD though so do take note if you intend to play it with your regular DVD player. You either have to get a region free DVD player or set the region settings of your DVD drive if you want to view it on your computer.

Booklet and some info about the FSN UBW movie I think. The date seems to suggest that ^^

This is the photobook? The booklet with pictures.

Track listing as follows:

Tracklist
1. Unmeibito (運命人)
2. Sayonara wo Ieba Ii no ni (さよならを言えばいいのに)
3. Dare ni mo Ienai Kimochi (誰にも言えない気持ち)
4. Yuubae ni Cinema (夕映えのシネマ)
5. Mamoritai Mono (守りたいもの)
6. Mou Kiss Sarechatta (もう キスされちゃった)
7. My HERO
8. code
9. Orange
10. Mata Ashita ne (また明日ね)

4 of the tracks are from previous singles which are Unmeibitio, Mou Kiss Sarechatta, code and Mata Ashita ne. The rest are new original material. Well, "code" is one of my favourite tracks from the list. Its been used for the Fate/Unlimited codes game and the song has a bit rock-ish and faster paced tune to it. Not something heard often from Tainaka Sachi since "Kirameku Namida wa Hoshi ni" since most of her songs tend be ballads.

Anyways, here are some PV vids.

Final pic with all the stuff included.

I have uploaded the scans and you can grab them here. Not scanned by me though.

As I've mentioned earlier I got the album off CD Japan and you get it here. Oh and the first press is still available in case you are wondering.

I got this album not too long ago. The album titled Parade is Chihara Minori's third album.

Well, you can kinda guess what influenced me to get this album based on my previous post ^^;

The album was released on the 26th November 2008.
