SKE48 11th Single - Choco no Dorei ~Unboxing~

Well, I know SKE's Choco no Dorei was released on the 30th of January in 2013.
However I just got my copy about 693 days later (24.12.2014) and now I want to show you how the single looks like.



So I got Type A, the limited edition, since I really love it's coupling ''Darkness''.

Choco no Dorei is supposed to be a Valentine's Song -well the title is ''A Slave to Chocolate''.

But let's take a look at the single.





I love the limited edition Cover. And I love this Hairstyle Jurina had back then....


The backside with the reason I bought Type A..


7 Dancer with ''Darkness'' I just love this song.
And the costumes.

Sorry for my bad photographing skills ....


The obi.


Here we have the Backside of the booklet and the CD


The CD's design looks a bit like a chocolate bar -kind of.
But I really like this white and red design.


The Type B member. And there are Kumi and Shawako .__.


The DVD has the same design as the CD (as always) just in pink.


The list of producers and directors

Let's move on to the booklet 

The Booklet:



Again the Cover. Ogi ist still there, too. 





Type C members. Akarin still with long hair, I somehow miss this appearance.
And ChocoDorei was the first and only single with Kitarie. I really thought she fit in there really well.


ChocoDorei Lyrics


Darkness Lyrics



Sore wo Seishun to Yobu Hi lyrics. I like this song a lot although it's so sad.


And well, I got Kanon. Definitely not my first nor my last choice.
I really wished I got someone different like Jurina or Rena (my wishes will never be heard) or getting one of the graduates would have been nice too.




I really like the Choco no Dorei Single Design although I'm not much of a Valentine's Day fan.
Furthermore it's really nostalgic to see all the members from 2013 (how they looked) and graduated members again.
However, what I still don't like are the Photos/Photocards since they are just a piece of paper instead of a real photo.

  1. Choco no Dorei (チョコの奴隷)
  2. (Type-A Exclusive track) Darkness / Seven Dancers

AKB48 39th Single - Green Flash ~Unboxing~

The Single was released on the 4th of march and came in 4 Types. Each of these types got other coupling songs. 
However I ordered Type S since there are two awesome songs on it and it finally arrived on friday.




On Type S we got SKE's coupling song ''Sekai ga Naiteru Nara'' and Majisuka Gakuen 4's ending theme ''Yankee Rock''.
Well, I actually like the Single's title.

Green Flash ''Just as the setting Sun disappears completely from view, a last glimmer appears startlingly green.''


But let's keep this talk for when I make a review of Green Flash





So we have the cover. I don't really like the regular edition cover. In my opinion it does look kind of strange/ugly.


Unfortunately it has a crack in the CD cover.
And Sayanee is really sad about this ._.


                           The obi. It means ''What is happiness?''                        


The back cover and the track list.
It's quite the same picture as the front cover, wel
l except that the four are looking to the side.


I love how Sayanee looks in this picture


The same picture as earlier and the CD.


Like I said the same picture


Pretty simple design but I like how you can see every Senbatsu member standing there.
And of course the CD is green -more like greenish.


The DVD and a blank space.


Just like the CD only that it is more monochrome colour scheme



The Booklet:



Like I said it is simple but I am not sure if I should like it or not 


Well, the lyrics as usual.
Green Flash, Yankee Rock and Sekai ga Naiteru Nara


The production crew and the names of the participating members.


The sembatsu member in their Green Flash outfit
I love Paru's and Jurina's outfit.


And Sayanee's


And Yui's *-*


And I got Kojimako. Well not bad but she isn't one of my many Oshimen.



Well, I really like that it was kept as simple as possible although I think you could have made an better Cover. Maybe something to do with a Green Flash.


 
CD Tracklist:
  1. Green Flash / Senbatsu
  2. (Type-S Exclusive track) Yankee Rock (ヤンキーロック)
  3. (Type-S Exclusive track) Sekai ga Naiteru Nara (世界が泣いてるなら) / SKE48 Senbatsu
  1. Green Flash (off-vocal)

Kashiwagi Yuki 2nd Single - Birthday Wedding ~Unboxing~

Well, it's finally time that I get my next Solo Single and luckily it actually arrived yesterday. And since I really like the CD's design and it's content I would like to introduce you to this one.
And like you already have guessed -well, it's the title of this post- my new Solo Single is Yukirin's, Kashiwagi Yuki's 2nd Single - Birthday Wedding (Type B)




Let's start.. and I apologiese for my shitty photographs




I love this cover. I was actually surprised that it is golden and not yellow like it was in the preview photo.




The obi.



 The Backside and the Track list.


I really love this photo of Yukirin.


The CD is simple. But I like the flower bouquet outline.


Sometimes simple is best.


By the way it's the same bouquet as on the cover.


The DVD and Producer overview.


The DVD has the same design as the CD. Just a lighter green tone.


The Producer Overview.


Here comes the booklet:


And here again, I really love this cover


Well nothing special. Just the Lyrics of the three songs.


Birthday Wedding and Demo ne Zutto


And Kuchi Utsuchi no Chocolate. I just love this song and now I have a Solo version of Yukirin.


And hey, there came also a Phorocard with this CD. Maybe it's because I have the limited edition, I don't know.


Well, the whole concept is -of course- a wedding. Weheras  I actually think that only the regualr and Lmtd. Type A cover looks like it's supposed to be a wedding dress. However like I said -like a hundred times already- I really love the type B limited Cover. Yukirin just looks stunning in this picture.


CD Tracklist: 
  1. Birthday Wedding
  2. Demo ne Zutto (でもねずっと)
  3. Kuchi Utsushi no Chocolate (口移しのチョコレート)
  4. Birthday Wedding (Instrumental)
